La Bête Humaine

The crappy translation of the movie's name confuses the true theme of the movie.

"Beast of Desire" La bete humaine, monopoly and exclusive desire, is the blood of a man, while a woman's weapon is the seed of his affection, provoking desire, stinging jealousy, and bursting out hatred.

Judging from the Chinese name of this movie, it may be about a scumbag or a movie with a well-dressed appearance but a very dark heart. However, this is actually not the case. The French name of this film is La bete humaine, which is a beast of...

Workers’ confusion

Before World War II, France ushered in the golden age of its own film industry, and a large number of realist masterpieces were born. "La bête humaine" adapted from Zola's famous book is no exception.
Renoir was not only a prolific film author, but also very good at handling scripts. He transplanted Zola's famous works into French society at that time, which produced the due social effects.
The film depicts the ideological status of the French working class before World War II. The...

Jean Renoir's power

This film is adapted from Zola's novel. I remember when I was young, there was always Zola’s "Nana" on the shelf, accompanied by Hugo’s "The Laughing Man" in tatters. I never touched it. Later in middle school, the teacher said he was The masters of realism and naturalism, they are displayed in the memory in the name of the master and only in the name of the master.

Renoir also heard about it when he was in high school. At first, I heard that the old Impressionist Renoir....

A film that holds a sense of power

First of all, let me talk about the translation of the title. Whether it is a beast in a cloak or a beast with a human face, it is all nonsense and rude, while the "Desire to Be Human" suggested by Comrade Kafka is much more accurate and calm.
If a key word of a movie is given, I think it is: power. Powerful emotional expansion, powerful explosive performance, powerful camera rhythm, especially the long shots of the train speeding from the beginning to the end, love to death. Forward, fork...

Sometimes love is not sublime

Roubaud is a railway station master. In his work, he is serious and responsible. He does not fear power and treats all passengers equally. He is indeed a respectable fellow. (At least in work). In his personal life, he has a beautiful wife Séverine. What can you expect from such a life? But he said that his woman was the daughter of a maid, (to make her despise herself) and even suspected that his wife had had a relationship with her godfather, whether he was jealous or inferior? (I think he is...

Life is like a train, you can follow the track, you can also change the fork, just a thought. Human beings are driven by desire and destroyed by...

It's very bland, including killing people, but the director's cameo is his favorite scene, that of Cabuche who was caught by mistake. Zola's style? Many ordinary people are really full of wounds on the inside, but the jumping and flamboyant people are simple and...

The power of the characters comes from heredity, and it is more reasonable to convey them through film. It seems that the film that can only express the appearance is even more...
