El pequeño salvaje y Genie, la niña salvaje
La película de El pequeño salvaje refleja una historia real. Víctor es un niño que se había criado rodeado por la naturaleza y apartado de la civilización.
Si comparamos este caso con el de Genie, vemos que ella hace más progresos que Víctor en el proceso de aprendizaje, por ejemplo, la niña llega a articular palabras, aunque hay que tener en cuenta que únicamente pronunció unidades léxicas. No fue capaz de interiorizar un sistema grammatical. Víctor solo fue capaz de pronunciar... -

Truffaut's films always have a very traumatic mood, the collision of freedom and shackles, the struggle between survival and freedom, the entanglement of leaving and staying, the helplessness of choice, these are directly opposed in this film. We are in this cube-like city.
When doctors teach children, there are choices based on right and wrong, choices based on fear, and choices based on morality. When this choice and choice are left to the audience to choose, in the end is... -

An anthropology film starring Truffaut himself. It tells the story of a boy who was abandoned in the wild when he was a child. He was found by the village name and sent to a school for the deaf. Because of the loss of all the ability to integrate into human society, the professor played by Truffaut was brought home and slowly trained the wild child's speech and cognitive ability. This film is easily reminiscent of Herzog's "Every man for himself, God against all". But unlike Herzog's...

Victor the "Wild Child" was discovered in 1798, in the context of the Enlightenment at the time, as a case study to demonstrate the differences between humans and other animals. Dr. Itard, played by Truffaut, believes that the difference between human beings and beasts lies in "language" and "empathy", and later became the pioneer of oral language education for the deaf. The part selected in the film is that the two live together 9 months, a total of 5 years of working together in actual...

This film is adapted from real events in the 18th century, and it is also one of the representative works directed, written and acted by Truffaut. In this film, Truffaut tries to use the simple method of running account to express his concern for the inner world of children, and even uses The way of black and white photography is used to express the lack of emotional color in the wild child's heart, showing strong humanistic care. It is an unpopular masterpiece that is ignored by...

Le Dr Jean Itard: Canton of St. Sernin. A boy, 11 or 12 years old, naked and apparently deaf and dumb while searching for acorns and roots to eat was caught in the Caune woods by three hunters as he was about to climb a tree to escape from them. Taken to a nearby hamlet...

Le Dr Jean Itard: I could examine him and establish the degree of intelligence and the nature of ideas in an adolescent deprived since childhood of all education because he had lived apart from his species.

Le Dr Jean Itard: For the present, his emotions appear unaffected. Despite the ill-treatment he endured at the institute, no one ever saw him cry.

Le Dr Jean Itard: I'm glad that you came home. Do you understand? This is your home. You're no longer a wild boy, even if you're not yet a man. Victor, you're an extraordinary young man with great expectations. Later, we'll resume our lessons.
