    The texture of the image is not as close to the 21st century as it was in the 1950s and 1960s (want to know why). There are too many amazing details hidden. The soundtrack is very cleverly used. In addition to the end of the escape, he was also moved by the passage of a family of three going to the movie together. The iron tower at the beginning of the story has been said clearly, we look far, we approach, and then flee. The world of youth films is much bigger than I...

    Look, you have to be able to tell the story of your youth in order to beautify it like this. If you don’t have the ability to talk about it yourself, let others talk about it, it’s probably a confession from a juvenile who stumbled in a certain issue of the legal...

    The film uses a completely plain lens to record the process of a child with a bad heart being marginalized by school, society, and family. The film involves education, family, society and other aspects. That's it. Probably because this film was filmed more than half a century ago, the film of that era was not mature as an art form. The subject matter of this film should be novel, bold and avant-garde at the time, so this film now looks very ordinary. Highly sought...

    When we are unable to try to understand the heart of the child, "education" is a kind of...

    Three long shots, simple and clean. Paris street scene. The child was copying, and he tore off a page if he made a mistake, and then tore it off when the ink was stained. The more anxious he was, the more errors he made. Punishment, lying, skipping class, stealing things, Antoine. Lonely or confused. A terrible long run, get rid of those who chase him, and ran all the way towards the sea. The wave hits, but there is no other thing to see except the sea. Perhaps the price for freedom is to lose...

    The most powerful boy movie. I saw my mother kissing a strange man on the way to skip class, lied to the teacher that my mother was seriously ill and was about to die, stole the typewriter and ran through the pigeon flock, and cried silently in the prison car. It was a magical confession to confess my own experience. The scene stopped in front of the sea that he had never seen before, showing a dazed expression. The film does not talk about the growth of adolescents, it just truly reproduces...

    School, family, everything are reasons to escape. "Four hundred blows", desperately running toward the sea symbolizing freedom, but didn't want to be more difficult to move. Paris is particularly beautiful under Truffaut's lens, and the music is also very good. (TLF version of MiniSD subtitles are not good, but fortunately, some people have watched it dozens of times. It comes with a commentary audio...

    A Brief Talk on Several Paragraphs of "Four Hundred Strikes"

    Watching "Four Hundred Strikes" the second time, I paid more attention to the form of observation. My attention is focused on Truffaut's use and editing of the lens. As a result, in the editing, I did not find anything worth discussing. Truffaut likes to use fades and wipes. The several edits in...

    For short reviews, but the word count is too high.

    Someone mentioned the movie while watching "Dancer in the Darkness". I briefly thought about what they have in common. It is probably that the protagonist watched the huge wave come in, but at the moment of life and death, he couldn't do it with his hands blindfolded. The difference is that Antoine...
