Dad is a person who is full of thoughts about promotion and salary increase. Mom thinks about rest all day long, and is not responsible for the child. It is unknown if she goes to see her lover. Hypocritical family relationship, you can see it from the dinner scene, when talking about sex, the wife cuckolds him and doesn't talk about it, the father's mouth is full of foam, and he talks about the promotion of the female secretary with great interest. In this matter, while analyzing, he also muttered that he regretted saying bad things about the leaders behind his back. And how was your wife at that time? Thirty percent guilty? Or 70% of the hilarious, the answer, we don't know. In the director's view, these may not be important. But it all sucks for the kid, who has seen his mother kissing her lover and being sick at the dinner table while maintaining this fake family relationship. To make matters worse, the stepfather wanted to send his son to a boarding school for a long time, and even the boy's biological mother agreed with this, thinking that the child's recitation would save her a lot of worries. In fact, no matter what, as a child, the last thing you want to hear is that parents quarrel because they want to deny their birth from the root. The friends around the male protagonist include a little fat man who loves to sue and expose, and a little fat man who is confused with glasses, and a clever ghost who answers questions without stopping. Most importantly, he has a good friend who always helps him and steals with him. In the middle, a lot of interesting little details happened. I was deeply impressed by the plot of a good friend adjusting the time to cheat Dad, and by the way, giving food to a good friend. There is a scene where they stand side by side and look into the distance, blowing downward with a blow dart. By the way, the smile on the male protagonist's face at that time was the kind of brilliance that came from the heart, which was beyond the actor's identity. It was really beautiful.
The scene of stammering the teacher reminded me of the funny clip of Feng Xiaogang when he was a teacher. 【father】 Teacher 【No one will talk like you】. When the principal asked Mr. Jieba to answer the question, he explained to the male protagonist's mother politely and earnestly that [your child has become the way it is now, it may be related to genetics] sincere, direct, and without any malicious appearance. Make the characters fuller and more interesting. An introverted, pedantic supporting role, many modern movies will make a fuss about the pedantic character of such a character, and add materials and prices, but "Four Hundred Blows" is naturally handled in a lot of ways. It's also fun to skip all the episodes. As soon as his son cried, his father played the violin for his son to imitate him crying, until he couldn't help it and punched his father. His dad may be thinking, [I use beauty to educate you, don't cry for me, look at how ugly you cry. 】But the child will be driven crazy sooner or later. In modern movies, there is no shortage of facial characters, but there is a lack of full-bodied characters and character relationships. Even if the family relationship is false, parents still love their children. Moms block guns for their sons, take him to the cinema, and reward their sons with money. , in order to make him test better. This is followed by the scene of burning Balzac's photos. The boy is dreaming of a writer's dream, and the burning of Balzac's photos looks real and cute. I think the success of Four Hundred Blows is that the director understands that personal and real emotions are the most moving. Watching Four Hundred Blows is like reading the director's childhood diary. There are real relationship contradictions hidden in the ordinary life, and the exclusive memories of childhood are highlighted: the puppet show, the detailed habits of watching movies in the cinema, which are very likely to be related to the director's childhood. Memories may also be related. I especially like the scene of the puppet show, the smiles of the children, innocent, no distractions, cute, brilliant, sincere, simple enough to be amazed and simply wandering in the ocean of imagination. In contrast, the male protagonist looks mature and boring when he is worried about his livelihood, not to mention the serious and boring life problems faced by his parents at that age.
The older you grow, the more lonely you become; the older you grow, the more lustful you become; the older you grow, the less free you become. These are probably the parts the director wants to express. The whole film also has a hidden intention that the children within the rules follow the instructor or teacher. In this process, the freedom of the male protagonist has been gradually locked after encountering the social boundary. From the beginning of the classmates running away easily, to the plot of leaving like a fugitive at the back, it all reflects the boy's state of being forced to grow up in the face of the outside world. The book in the Michelin restaurant is also like a thread running through it. Where is the book? After more than 70 minutes, the movie revealed that the book was originally on the male lead, but why did he steal it? It turned out to be learned from his own irresponsible mother. So in the end, the male protagonist expects his good friends more than he expects his mother. He hates his parents, and his parents hate him. Until the end, the male protagonist is gradually reduced to being abandoned by his parents who hate him, completely. Helpless, the only way out is to escape and run. After the second brush, I realized the greatness of Four Hundred Strikes, a seemingly bland childhood memoir, but compared with the dullness and deep desire of adults, the various problems of being blessed in childhood are not exactly what urges children to grow up earlier. Reason? When facing the society, he was cornered and collapsed; when he lost his freedom, he collapsed. The camera swept away, and there was no emotional ups and downs. When he cried silently, he collapsed. When he was slapped by the left hand and right hand, he collapsed. of. Until he saw the sea of his mind and turned to the face on the camera. A little numb, unable to read any expressions, like unable to read his future fate, isn't that the most depressing? Faced with the childhood scene of four hundred hits, each of us is at a loss when we grow up in the face of society, isn't it all like this? It is like the 400 slaps that life hits on the child, urging him to grow up. We are fanned by society, regardless of right or left, and become a shell of an adult who can accept everything, or is unwilling to accept everything.
