    After many years, I watched this movie again on the big screen. Antoine ran to the sea to look back at the camera's face, which will never be forgotten. Melancholy, innocent eyes reflect the vision of the world. The lens is delicate, sensitive, yet cunning, showing a child's naive and sophisticated perspective. You light a candle for Balzac, I light a cigarette and look at the world outside the net. It was impossible not to be hit by it, four hundred...

    "Four hundred strokes" is a French slang term for running around and doing nonsense. Boy, 13-year-old Leo (Antoine) is to Truffaut what 15-year-old Truffaut is to Bazin. Young man, I suddenly realized that many of my elementary and middle school classmates are no longer alive. As a teenager, he began to question his education, he was rebellious to his family, he had no nostalgia for the past, and he was at a loss for the future. The long shot at the end of the film is a milestone-like run in...

    Unguarded by the camera, a child who opens his mouth and swings in front of a puppet show. In the future, he will also endure four hundred blows. What is growing up? Growing up is to be good, make money, cater to, marry, behave well, and be decent? Think of provocateurs, illegitimate children, street male prostitutes, thieves, criminals... gays in the 20th century... also wrote about themselves in prisons, but later inspired writers in Paris. And the boy burns the house to ask for text......

    He was able to keep the first run of his life in the image, dedicated himself to his mentor, and also discovered his spiritual son. It was also the beginning of another great journey for himself and the history of cinema. How happy is...

    Admired for a long time, it is indeed a beef slice! The narrative is smooth, the performance is natural, the scene scheduling is extremely skilled, the photography and editing are full of strength and charm, and the soundtrack is lively and light, which constitutes a slight irony, interweaves real activities and spiritual feelings, and examines adolescents from two dimensions: external observation and internal presentation. The confrontation with the adult world reveals the mechanics,...

    The classic of this film is not that it has a wonderful story - the film's story is not complete - but that it is reflected in the process of telling the story in multiple ways. The film looks like realism at times, such as many shots with pans instead of editing, and many improvisations. And sometimes it has a very formal style. For example, when being questioned by a psychiatrist, the camera is facing the boy all the way, and the female doctor's face cannot be seen at all. Makes the boy look...

    Faced with questions from the psychiatrist at the juvenile detention center, the child's lines were alluded to. On the surface, it is to answer why you steal, but in fact it is to answer why you "steal". This is my favorite paragraph. I don't know the history of movies, so I have no idea how to rate it. I think I'll just leave it...

    Although I knew that there would be a world-famous long shot and stop-motion close-up at the end, I was a little shocked when I watched it. in front of him and told me, "That's my story." This is without a doubt the coolest boy in movie history.
    In the prison car, Antoine cried the only time, he...
