Truffaut's description of childhood is more of a ridicule indictment, and some of the plots are like comedies.
In this film, Bresson is more like hiding behind the scenes, using the camera as a shotgun, even if any still frame picture can pierce the hearts of the audience.
Several good snippets.
1. In music class, the teacher pressed Mushaette's head on the piano keyboard, played the accompaniment, and taught singing. However, the classmates responded to this dignified education with laughter (in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, how can education be so harmful?).
2. There are many appearances in the film. The stubborn and repressed Mushaet hid in the dirt pit and threw dirt at his classmates to vent his anger.
3. In the cabin, Mushaet first resisted when violated, and then became cooperative, hugging each other with his lonely hands.
4. In the bumper car scene, the editing is great.
5. In the end, committing suicide by throwing himself into the lake suppressed the sad and depressing atmosphere of the whole drama to the extreme.
The whole play is 78 minutes, not boring, and the structure is reasonable.
