Chew the taste of time

Truffaut's movies, no matter how you look at them, are a bit like old Hollywood movies. He is very story-oriented, and he has always admired Hitchcock. I have also seen his "Shooting the Pianist", which is basically a suspense film about killing.

"The Four Hundred Blows" is undoubtedly of great historical significance, but in fact the film itself is very interesting. Let us think of the complexities of not being taken seriously in childhood and adolescence, truancy, and wanting to run away from home. Although he was more daring than us, he entered the juvenile detention center and escaped, but freedom does not seem to be. exist in this world. He just ran and ran like that, and when he saw the sea, it was so gray that it really made people feel that the world was so big that there was no place for me to stand on it. Listening to Truffaut's buddy and producer's commentary track, I fell in love with Truffaut. They skipped school to watch movies, went out in the early morning to steal movie theater posters, founded movie clubs at a young age, and were later sent to prison because of this. The kid in the movie is Truffaut himself. Although the movie was a huge success when it was released, his parents didn't accept him, because everyone knows that this is an autobiographical work. The parents in the movie Not so much!

This commentary track is the one that impressed me the most. He said: Truffaut and I, we never want to enter the adult world, we are always different from them. He said: "He's been gone for so long. He said: Because of time, I haven't watched this movie for a long time. Every time I watch it, I am still moved.

I am also impressed. Because I was moved, I was relieved - I was still young! And I will stay young forever!

    The details and background are explained in a very clean way, so that people can face Antoine's plight in a real way. The two slaps that were caught off guard seem to be brushed on their faces, and the joyful happiness in the cramped car seems to belong to them. On this basis, the advancement of the plot and the implicit critical position are all natural. Not sure how Truffaut did it. Truly charming.

    The beauty is destroyed little by little, the light is dim in the slightest, and the cruel reality we bear in our hearts is the price everyone has to pay. We are all on the road, shattered by the four hundred blows and then grow and repair. PS: soundtrack It's beautiful, the street scene is beautiful, the eyes of children are melancholy, gentle and innocent...
