The courage to love movies

When it comes to movies, I am more impressed with "Paradise Cinema" and "Ed Wood". The former is a typical "I like it at the time" type. When I watch it, I will be incited by the sudden burden at the end to lose my armor and discard my armor. I also know that I am the least immune to this kind of clip collection, not to mention that it is time to look back suddenly. At that time, I was very hopeless and cried, although I kept scolding the first half of the movie... After

watching it, it was nothing more than that.

The latter is a movie I can't bear to watch again, albeit hilarious. The bitterness is so boring, and there is often a kind of petty annoyance that hates iron and steel, and a little helpless depression.

In comparison, I still like to watch "Day to Night" the most. It was very lively, full of content, very kind of, how should I put it, a feeling of love.

It is said that Godard was very dissatisfied with the film, that Truffaut betrayed. The shooting method of "Day and Night" seems to have been their mutual boycott, but now Truffaut is blatantly using it as the title of the movie! That feeling, probably as if Lars von Trier suddenly decided not to play with portable photography.

I don't love pimples anyway, I love Truffaut. I love Truffaut's way of showing love to a movie. It's not as sensational as "Cinema Paradiso", but it's unrealistic after reading it; it's not as poignant as "Ed Wood". He's real, he's always real.

The trouble is not that there is no trouble, the director he played said that making a movie is like going to the West in the past. At the beginning, you hope to have a wonderful trip, and then you only hope to reach the destination smoothly. Chaos is not absent, cheating, betrayal, and accidental death... Inside and outside the scene, there are piles of terrifying things, either this actor loses his temper or that actor has a mental breakdown, and the actor has to look at the wall The lines posted are acting, and I never know which door to open, let alone the hungry cat that the prop master found just refused to eat according to the plot...

Maybe it's the director's beautification, but in the world shown in the movie, life is extremely full, and despite the chaos, there is no heavy money anxiety. Although I have been worrying about whether it will be completed as scheduled, and I have negotiated with the insurance company a lot, it did not make people feel depressed and hopeless. I couldn't help laughing when I saw the director mocking himself and saying, "The director is the one who everyone comes to ask you questions." The use of film music is not overturned and depressing like in "The Four Hundred Blows" and "Jules and Jim", but it is full of joy in the tension, and it makes people cry. In his colorful pictures, the mood has always been full of trivial humor and jubilation. In such jubilation, who could not feel his love for movies?

In the beginning you want to make a good movie, and then you just want to make it well. But when I saw the film was finished, I was still full of joy. At first you complain about why the filming process was so convoluted, and at the end you find it fun to recall. Like the actress said, we were like a big family during the filming, and after the filming we went away.

Very full of life, very full of movies. Although a little sad and a little distressed, it is still humorous and interesting. Otherwise he wouldn't continue to make movies, and he wouldn't sneak off Citizen Kane's stills in his dreams, or order a bunch of movie books.

So I prefer to regard "day as night" as a self-deprecating thing. A teenager who has watched "Rules of the Game" more than a dozen times, made movies because he loved movies, but didn't get tired of it. As a non-movie lover, it doesn't take much courage. But he loves movies, but it really takes some courage. In the movie, he has to "work day and night" to catch up with work hours. Outside the movie, he also faces the gap between ideal and reality.

I just love Truffaut's stupidity.

    The movie in the movie is a tragedy, but the movie has a warm ending. The must-see works of the new wave masters can feel the warmth of "The Four Hundred Blows" and applaud Truffaut!

    Dedicated to Li Ge :) Grumpy movie. Truffaut showed up and talked about various emergencies and various root causes of pressures in making a movie. Since it also has a certain story and interest, it can satisfy the audience's expectations and imagination for "behind the scenes" and "life". So everyone is buying it. By the way: the subtitles are so out of time; Bisset is so beautiful
