      nostalgic

      "The Last Subway", the dubbed version was released in China in the late 1980s. The French Cultural Center recently screened a group of works by the new wave master Truffaut, this is one of the representative works. Going to revisit it today. When I was young, I only watched the actors and the plot. No matter who the director was, it was the big-nosed Depardieu who had dominated the French screen with Alain Delon for decades. At that time, Depardie was just a young age, before being fat and...

      "The Pleasure of the Eye: An Interview with Truffaut"

      "A Child's Eyes on Drama and the German Occupation.": "If I were to analyze the warm reception of The Last Metro, I think it was because of the details that were given to the script that gave me the details of my childhood. made a strong impression and gave the film a sense of originality and visual novelty. If the film was written by someone older (who may have experienced German occupation as an adult) or a younger [He was probably born during or after World War II] to write and direct,...

      The beautiful, noble and elegant Catherine Deneuve

      After watching: In order to understand Catherine Deneuve, who has been in the French film industry for 50 years, known as "the first lady of European film industry", "a combination of beauty and nobility", there are "evergreen", "ice". The French national treasure actress known as "Beauty", after watching her "Time has passed" at the beginning of this century, she also watched her famous masterpiece "Beauty in the Day" in the 1960s and "Beauty in the Day" in the 1980s. The "Last Metro" of the...

      Let's rant...

      This film fails to capture the core point, maybe I still prefer more dramatic films. The director's editing is very enchanting, sometimes jumping violently in the bridge segment, and sometimes dividing the scene with a long visual pause to fade the scene, at least in the movie theater, the brain capacity can't keep up with the inner thoughts of this kind of intention. The film has a strong atmosphere of suspense, and I can't see it has anything to do with the plot. Maybe in order to exaggerate...

      Where does The Last Subway lead to?

      My daughter is studying French language and culture and looking for French movies to watch. The name in the distant memory of "The Last Subway" I can't remember what the plot was, but I remember where I watched it with and who I was with and the mood at the time was 24 or 5 years ago! time! Why can't all the past be forgotten? Fortunately, the memory has the function of eliminating the good and the unpleasant. No matter how indulged in this turbulent world and how unrecognizable the memory is,...

      God ends. Although it is in the background of World War II, the underground resistance activities only stop there, and more focus on the drama within the drama, with the birth of a drama to bring out the French people's natural love of freedom, art and romance. Also, Truffaut loves 3P too...

    Evaluation action

    "The Last Metro" is the representative work of François Truffaut's mature period of art, fully demonstrating his consistent vivid, tender and novel style. Truffaut’s directing technique is extraordinary. It is not so much a film that uses realism to reproduce history, but rather a comedy with an impressionistic style. Although many details of the film are based on the memories of newspapers and magazines of the time and some witnesses...

    Movie quotes

    • Lucas Steiner: From the cellar, I follow everything that goes on. When the lights are dimmed in the morning, I know it's rehearsal time. When they go on again, it's lunchtime. When all the lights go out at night, I tell myself, "In five minutes, Marion will be here."

    • Marion Steiner: He liked the Grand Guignol. But he's very happy to be with us. He's a little like Jean Gabin in "La Bête Humaine." Very physical and yet quite gentle.

    • Bernard Granger: [Arlette kisses Raymond goodbye] Do I get a kiss too?

      Arlette Guillaume: You get a handshake.

      Bernard Granger: If you insist. Please, allow me. I'll read your palm. There are two women in you.

      Arlette Guillaume: Sorry, neither one wants to sleep with you.
