The film is scored in two parts, written on different days and with different ideas.
first part:
About the first film of Mr. Huang Zuo's "French Film and Cultural Appreciation": Four Hundred Strikes
I'm not used to such movies, it may be because of my past movie viewing habits or my current physical and mental state.
Most of the movies I've watched in the past seem to use "focus" language, such as highlighting a problem in a plot way, and then maybe giving a solution or no solution; When I saw Antoine reaching the beach, I thought the camera would want to extend overseas, extending far and far, but in fact it stopped when "fin" appeared on Antoine's face, and the ending made me feel weird.
Next, I want to talk about the place where the whole film makes me remember.
The first is the "integrity" of the film. The first is the shot around the Eiffel Tower at the beginning, using a lot of long shots (to be honest, it was a bit boring at first, and then when I wrote this film review, I wondered if I would It is the scene outside the car window from Antoine's point of view, and when I look back, I don't think it's like it); behind it is the complete shot of setting the tableware; then behind it is looking out of the car window during the escort process; finally, there is a long, long run lens.
The second is Antoine's inner contradictions and thoughts, such as the scenes of meeting his mother and others, and the performance of loving himself so much with his mother. These contradictions can only be hidden in the heart. I like Balzac, I recite Balzac's sentence, "Eureka, I found it", but the teacher thinks it is plagiarism, and accidentally burns the candle (in addition to the photo of Balzac, there are other things below, maybe it is A child's most precious "gadget"), even stealing things is a printer. It is also a poem to ridicule the teacher.
the second part:
What language do we use to describe truth? After we left our long sorrow behind, Truffaut left us with no answers. The sadness is there, and what will happen to Antoine when she grows up, I don't know. It's like a story with no end. That's why I think the film itself can leave very limited thinking. In my opinion, Four Hundred Strikes describe a child's inner contradictions in a period, secrets, longing for love, having this little pursuit, fun; although he did some things that are not good in the eyes of adults, but in fact the essence Still a weak, helpless child. If I have to say that there is something worth thinking about, it may be "perspective". We often use the presentation of things to determine whether a process has value and whether a person is moral. It is often the case that a wrong thing is used to judge a person's moral corruption, and the result of an event (this result is only a possibility of occurrence, which is not intrinsically related to the previous process) negates the whole process. Reasonable and Necessary. But things should not be judged in this way, or should not be defined and evaluated by language, and should not be drawn to "conclusions" to deny the "good" and "bad" leftovers of a person or a process. In my opinion, the film focuses this kind of thinking on children, who we usually think of as a childish, easily distinguishable thing, but it may not be the case. There are traditional Chinese debates on "good nature" and "evil nature", but perhaps such debates are meaningless. A blank sheet of paper is divided into good and bad, and only those who evaluate this blank sheet of paper can see the difference between good and bad. point. Children themselves are simple and complex. Simply because the emotions are very simple, longing for love and care, longing to be Balzac, afraid of being beaten, enjoying the happiness and care from friendship, complicated because of hiding, because of past misunderstandings that are unspeakable, because of fear of losing , because of fear of being overwhelmed, because of fear of the unknown. Those who impose prejudice shouldn't be prejudiced themselves, like Antoine's parents, his mother loves him, and his father, in fact, his stepfather loves him too. If they could understand Antoine a little bit more, be patient and listen a little bit more. If Antoine speaks more about herself, maybe the family will have less misunderstandings, and Antoine will not have such a displaced life. This "perspective" also contains a kind of authenticity and integrity. A realistic representation of the observed object. The long shots that appear in the film may also be the use of this "perspective", such as the shot of setting the tableware, when Antoine was captured and looked out of the window, he escaped from the juvenile control. Running away, and finally running to the beach. In fact, I think such a long shot may be unnecessary. With my limited viewing experience, such a shot may be too monotonous and straightforward (especially the long shot of setting tableware, but maybe this is a presentation of life? From this, it seems that another question arises, how does the movie present life and convey inner expression) Personally, I am actually very concerned about the soundtrack in the movie, but the soundtrack of Four Hundred Strikes is a bit monotonous, which may be due to the age.
