    I like the picture at the end of "Shooting the Pianist". The protagonist sees the new maid and his eyes are ambiguous. Truffaut's clever use of the corner of the white wall behind Charlie divides the background into two, the left is black and the right is white. Sina Under the tide camera, Charlie is marginalized by Truffaut, part of his body has been cut out of the left side of the picture, the music is non-stop, the long shot, and the lovely FIN jumps out on the right side. Love this...

    It's essentially a love story, and the overall framework is very Hollywood, but when the protagonist's omniscient perspective and genre functions are removed, the movie finally completes the transformation of the rotten into the magical. Reminds me of Steve Buscemi in "Murdering the Green Toes", because you "do nothing", so even trying to escape can't get what you want. So the hypocrisy of genre films is that the most "cowardly" characters are actually heroes in the real...

    There are so many shots, I feel like entering a point of view, like flying. Such as a female violinist, such as jumping off a building, such as the flickering darkness, such as the translucent kisses and interspersed dreams in the rotating room. The conversation in the car is good, the good and the evil are blurred, and the world is right in the end, but it cannot avoid loss; those inner monologues, like Calvino. Dreamlike disappearance, dreamlike snow, now and then. Day and night have no...

    The 48-minute bed lingering section was beautifully shot, and there was a final snow scene. A bare piano has another beauty. Although it is a sad story, the cheerful BGM and the two kidnappers make the film rhythm very light. Artists always hide their merits and fame, and the pianist's mouth is raised at the end, who is not a person with a...

    Truffaut stated that his main intention in the film was not to tell a typical crime suspense story "to express all my views on glory, success, depravity, failure, women, and love in the form of a detective story." I can understand him using his second movie to talk about the mentality of a guy who just made a name for himself but I don't agree with his views on women and...

    Childish Truffaut with his own sorrows

    If it is an American noir film, it will never be so scattered and trivial, and it will not be so scattered and trivial that a clue will suddenly follow a certain character. Only in Truffaut's film world can it be so unrestrained and break through all the shackles of convention. Unlike a...

    Truffaut's love story

    In Truffaut's collection, the most anticipated "Shooting the Pianist", with the unremitting efforts of TLF, finally has the subtitles of the C version. Special thanks, the world is beautiful because of you.
