Jean Viggo only lived to be twenty-nine years old, and this is the first title of Truffaut's "The Movies of My Life" besides the preface . And this film review was written eleven years after he filmed "The Four Hundred Blows". He hardly talked about the influence of "Zero Score" on his famous work, although he said that Viggo's "Atlanta" has always been in his mind. One of the top ten films of the year, but Truffaut's caution is evident when he says these words, and this review has never been published outside of his own anthology.
People will ask where are those vital things? No one can do better than a hypocrite about losing patience itself. People even say the whole big truth in their own right, and don't bother to look at the reality. The story is made up, the name is smeared, and we deceive ourselves and walk in.
We all know that no one is a blank slate, and an idiot-like dialogue may be able to continue to exist with high-sounding reasons, but we must hold a simpler definition, that is, what is the truth? At least I can still remember how I felt when I was slapped by the teacher. The rules that adults have formulated to protect the growth of minors are actually just to protect the world of adults. And Jean Vigo, who has been displaced all his life, used these 40 minutes to interpret the humble resistance. Those who chose a utopian uprising because of the suffering in reality were essentially just the lunch of lentils splashing each other in the film. Absurd and powerless. Then, the movie was banned.

In Europe in 1933, there was no fantasy at all. The industrial revolution polluted the environment, profits destroyed past values, and the dirty reality was swallowing art step by step. There was no longer Provence-like love, no more knights and Justice, Hitler became Chancellor of Germany this year, people spent the last time in repression and continued to struggle.
Fallacy rules the world, as the son of an anarchist, he understands better what suffering is, so we can see rituals like Christ's salvation, so we can seem to hear the divine voice in the rough, there is no reason not to be Banned, those who have vested interests are afraid of change, while mediocre people can't bear change. Although he is terminally ill, this young man has never stopped, he is not Derek Jarman, he is not living for love, maybe the end of this journey is just behind the camera, he still wants to continue filming and talking , the fact that he bears more responsibilities destined him not to just mumble.
Starting from a crowded dark and chaotic train, he's going to lead us down a road of rebellion about the truth, are these kids wild? No, is it real? Yes. They probably didn't do it all for a better lunch, or for a goddamn conduct score. They are out of nature, they hate this kind of hypocrisy and repression, they want freedom, just freedom. So we can see the shattered sheets and the scattered feathers in the broken pillows, and the children kept leaving the team on their way out with the teacher, cheering, without pretense or disguise.
Vigo set up two strange characters in it, one is the principal played by a child, and the other is a different teacher. It is better to say that it is a child than a dwarf. This is Vigo's contempt for the bureaucracy, which stems from himself and the thought of his father who was executed. And the teacher, the one who played with the children and finally faced the children's attack, was the first to raise the white flag and cheered for the children's victory. However, it is not difficult for us to see the ending of this kind of teacher in movies such as "GTO", "Spring in the Cattle Class" and "Dead Poets Society". In the
sixth episode of the first season of "Skin", they traveled to Russia, and Tony was in the room. I flipped through a book that said Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit. This is a book about same-sex love written by a feminist author. I remember reading a book review, saying that the author changed the world, at least his own world. .

From "Scenes of Nice" to "Talis" and then to "Zero Score" and "Atlanta", the total time is only 200 minutes. This is the wealth of his life, and it is also the reason why he is missed and remembered by us to this day.
Mao Jian said in a film review, "In the fifth year of the 1930s, the whole world was testing the hearts of moviegoers. Jean Reno, Claire, and Jean Viggo took over the French images; Henry Fonda walked into "The Farmer's Marry" "Wife" film crew, James Stewart walks out of the studio of "Living Like a Dream"; Clark Gable meets Carole Ramba..." And Viggo died in 1934, was Mao Jian joking? Maybe not, maybe she just wanted to explain that after his death, the whole French film industry really realized his value. Since 1959, Cannes will have an independent award every year to recognize the works of young directors with independent thinking spirit and outstanding skills, named after Jean Viggo.
Viggo himself once stayed in a boarding school, and he used his own experience to engrave on the film. Truffaut said that any debut novel has experimental significance, so it can be unabashedly said that he is luckier than Viggo. Many, because before this, there was such a great work established there. Although in the end, Antoine ran to the sea, and the four children continued on the roof, in the words of a slogan, in the direction of victory.
So this is also doomed to the fate of the movie.
In this short twenty-nine years, this person who survived the suffering did not choose a tragic or negative ending. Although his victory was ironic, it still gave people hope. Except for that, we don't know anything about him...he died before he could write his memoirs.
Si
will never know those strange coincidences, why youth always exists in the sky, and in various images, we can see the children who are walking through the roof and walls in those looking up shots. They have all kinds of names, Ma Xiaojun, Tomso, Pascal, Werther...
In fact, that is because adults have to pay tribute to growth. They can only look up to your existence, even when they miss you.
