I'm pretty sure you've already seen it before, but the film is weird even by Godard's standards. It's chaotic, but at the same time full of little glimpses of beauty.

I have like 3 minutes before I turn into a pumpkin. I wanted to ask your opinion on two scenes in The Three Lives of Thomasina.
In one scene the little girl with a very serious face tells her dad he is dead to her.
In another scene the dad almost becomes violent with Susan Hampshire 'the good witch'. I thought both scenes were too strong for a Disney film. What did you think?

I agree that both scenes were a bit too strong for a Disney movie, but they were both powerful scenes, and necessary to the story.
The little girl saying that her father is dead to her shows how much she loved the cat, and how angry she is at her father. To him, what he did was no big deal, but to her, that cat was her best friend. It's important to show how heartless he is towards the animals.
And the scene with the father getting "violently" mad at the "witch" also shows his personality. He has lost faith in God, and he is angry at the world. In contrast, the "witch" is the person who has faith. She believes that if she's not afraid of the animals, they won't hurt her, and she also believes that God brought the father to her to help the injured animal.
His character is all about the lack of faith, and her character is all about having faith.
For a Disney movie, it had a fairly religious theme.
Yes, but something made me think that this movie was about his losing his faith in God. I don't remember if it was something specific that was said, or just a feeling that I got while watching the movie.
