The Outlaws - The Footless Bird and the Running of the Louvre

The setting of one woman and two men in this film is hard not to remind people of the feminist "Jules and Jim", but the characters of the male and female protagonists in this film are not as vivid and sensitive as the latter. Three men and women who have nothing to do but want to make a big difference plan a robbery. They are outsiders of society, groups, politics, law, and morality. . At the end of the day, I realized that Wong Kar-wai's "footless bird" came from here, and appeared in the voice-over when Arthur died: He saw the strange bird in Indian mythology. He was born without wings and could never land on the ground. From now on, only the dying can see the transparent wings that are longer than an eagle, and when they slowly close, they become smaller than a hand.

In the New Wave film revolution, the concern for human emotion and inner heart comes first. The surrounding things are all to show the inner needs of the characters, and a lot of obscure metaphors and indulgences appear in front of the audience. There is neither firm belief in the face of war, nor changes like the development of the times to seek breakthroughs. This period is embarrassing and emotional. Focusing too much on the heart will speed up the demise of vulnerable people, and letting oneself go into exile in the distance will especially hate movies that expose the truth. Fear of its individuality and benchmark, annoyed by its digging and sharpness.

The girl Odile met the boy Franz, and in the English class, he met his best friend Arthur through the boy Franz. Odile told Franz that there was a large sum of cash where she lived, and Franz told Arthur and his uncle that everyone was plotting how to steal the money. And really, the day when the plan was implemented, irreversible tragedy and comedy came at the same time...

Three young people play a game of silence for a minute while doing nothing in a tavern. At the beginning of the game, the whole world is silenced, and the men and women looking at each other seem to be drowned in the silence, eager to talk but have nothing to say The sadness made the atmosphere gradually become strange. In the dances that follow, the music is frequently replaced by calm voice-overs, and the joy on the faces of the three is in stark contrast to the dissection of each person's mind in the narration. Did the whole world become a dream, or did the dream become the whole world?

When people don't care about anything, they seem to make it their mission to save the world's suffering. In the final scene, beatings and murders occur one after another, yet the men and women in the story seem unaware of what is going on. Conceptual death merely foreshadows the trouble of jail time, when in fact their extra ill-gotten gains have made men and women who didn't love each other decide to start a happy life. Obviously nothing is on the right track, but it is as sweet as all ordinary couples.

My favorite scene is the three people running in the Louvre, which is also a tribute in "Dream of Paris". Wild and daring young men and women in their early twenties gallop through centuries-old masterpieces, three people laughing wildly fly through silent or panicked crowds, and they come to the Louvre out of reverence but use frivolity. treat it. Love because of contradictions, sex is no longer mysterious in arrogance and vulgarity, and disposition is thoroughly exposed from the inside out. Obviously want to abandon the whole world, but can only be integrated into it by another means. Hurry up, sweet dreams always have to wake up, loneliness is eternal.

Band of Outsiders quotes

  • Le narrateur: My story ends here like a dime novel. At a superb moment, when everything is going right. Our next episode, this time in Cinemascope and Technicolor: Odile and Franz in the tropics.

  • Odile: All that is new is, by that fact, automatically traditional.
