      Middle-aged men's "blame"

      The story of how a middle-aged man was shot by his wife for cheating. If I have to say what this movie shows, it is how self-righteous the protagonist is, immersed in his fantasy kingdom, just like his wife shouted to passers-by: (protagonist) "Think that women all over the world are fascinated by you. ". Different from the traditional Hollywood-style narrative - the "disposal" of the derailed object to the protagonist. After a violent blow to the head, he tried to regain the...

      Die in tenderness

      Do men have nothing to do but show mercy everywhere? Especially those mature men who are successful in their careers and have affair "capital"? Of course Truffaut is not as superficial as I am. The film "Soft Skin", a standard Truffau style emotional suspense film, tells the story of a well-known publisher whose marriage and family were destroyed due to an affair. Men are always happy to find new emotional impulses. The so-called "give me a little fresh stimulation, make me forget time and...

      What is love

      I finally know what the skin monkey I hated-Madame Deneuve’s sister who died in a car accident looked like! Love is a kind of heartbeat? Or is it disrupting the psychological rhythm of others and driving on the path of others' hearts, making people a slave to one's own illusion and led by the illusion? Is your own addiction manipulating others or willing to become a slave? When people chase, hunt, and tame their "love things", are they young or are they dilapidated and aging? Where is the...

      Don’t play with fire if you love the party

      It is still a trufaut that has nothing to do with the new wave. It is really scheming to put La peau douce and La femme d'a cote together in the archive. Movies have evolved from black and white to color. Men and women still don’t end well in love, and they don’t know the situation. Men always get into trouble with self-righteousness, and in the end the woman becomes unbearable, or leaves or blows the bastard with a single shot. Love is very important, love is precious. Because the speciousness...

      Cheating doesn't end well

      Du Lufu's movies are always related to love. This movie has a rare sense of reality and reality. In the end, the male protagonist was shot by his wife. It was very violent. Although the audience did not know whether he was dead, the movie seemed to warn men that cheating would not end well. , Suffer yourself.

      The chemical factor of
      cheating. In the film, the actor and lover meet on the plane, meet again in the elevator, and linger in the room. They were in Paris and wanted to...

      Three and a half. Truffaut's tender-hearted infatuation masterpiece, but the whole story seems to be in the type mode of a fat suspense film. At the end of "Victory", his wife's gloomy smile can't help but remind people of Norman Bey, who is superimposed with skeletons at the end of the psycho credits....

      Barely two points. Smelly and long, Truffaut is more like a novelist behind the scenes in this film, but his ability to plot and layout is third-rate. The writing of this extramarital affair story is lifeless, and it takes more than ten minutes to play the male protagonist when it is inconvenient to meet his lover. Being entangled in boring interpersonal relationships, the hero and heroine are bad looking. The opening is still from Truffaut's gentle perspective, but after entering the story,...

      7.9 real happy ending; From the perspective of form and context, Truffaut's new wave has less flavor, but it looks like a delicate and unique Hollywood romance...

    About the director

    Truffau in the New Wave movies is definitely an alien. He not only has a special liking for Hollywood movies, especially Hitchcock’s suspense films, but he also participated in Hollywood movies as an actor for Spielberg, in the mid- to late-stage films. Lu Shu is obviously incompatible with his colleague Godard. "La Peau Douce" is obviously not Truffaut's best film, but it has established Truffaut's typical style of "emotional...

    About the film

    An unremarkable extramarital affair was also filmed so thrillingly by the director Truffau. Although it is endlessly gentle in a fresh romance full of romance and desperation, only when I turn back to see a barren, desolate, empty-handed. "La Peau Douce" even pushed this desolation into a cruel, the male protagonist was eventually shot with a shotgun by his peaceful wife, and the quiet coffee shop was also full of battlefield smoke.
    At...

    Evaluation action

    Truffaut showed his accurate and very subtle grasp of human emotions, especially love relationships. He was very aware of the impulse that humans often cross the barriers to find new feelings, as well as the consequences and pain caused by this impulse. Subtle display and discussion.
    The film uses a kind of cold humor, blending the observation of life details into a cold and smooth director's technique, and has a subtle depiction of the...
