We lost great French actors in the last year or so.
Michel Piccoli, Claude Brasseur.
I was surprised to find out Jean-Louis Trintignant is still alive. Catherine Deneuve too. Those French actors live long lives.

RIP! Pierrot Le Fou is one of my favorites, Belmondo is the first person I think of when I think French New Wave. Even more so than Goddard. An icon.
RIP
USA. USA. USA.
Jean Seberg died of suicide after a smear campaign led by J. Edgar Hoover.RIP. A legend.
USA. USA. USA.
J Edgar ruined so many lives. I caught parts of the Kristen Stewart Seberg biopic film a while back.
Her boyfriend was black so obviously she was a threat to the nation...
And yet people get in their feels when others say this nation sucks.
Holy shit. I'm not familiar with his work, but I guess I should be.
RIP to one of modern European cinema's iconic actors. I hope there's fruitful years ahead for Delon, Trintignant, & their contemporaries still living it up. It's what JPB would want.
COINTELPRO really fucked over a lot of socially-conscious artists, huh. I'm surprised they chose to ruin Seberg and not move on to Jane Fonda, but maybe that would have been too obvious. It's all fucked up, of course.
I know an action scene is great when my stomach drops watching it
Wait so "Belmondo" is a French last name for real then?! All these years I thought that was just the Japanese way of pronouncing "Belmont" (big Castlevania fan here). Makes me wonder why they didn't just stick with Belmondo for every region then.
RIP to this actor. I didn't know him but I'm sure he was very good and will be missed.

yeah the name was directly inspired by him, and it's not the only thing he inspired in japan :
cobra space adventures
Sent me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole... And well, there's yet another disgusting story of US corruption that I had no idea about.
It's his real last name, but it's not a typical French last name: his father family was from Italy.
I knew Cobra was inspired by him, but I didn't knew Belmont's name was inspired by his name. Maybe he didn't want his name to be use by a video game and Konami respected his wishes outside of Japan.
