"Smash Your Face"

The kid who starred in this movie is really cute and looks like a "little adult". Beneath his bewildered and determined expression, there was a bewildered heart. He secretly skipped school, smoked, spent the night outside, and had no money for breakfast, so he stole milk from other people's houses. In the classroom, there is never a path between teachers and students. The teenager who kept tearing up the book because he didn't write well or because the book was dirty was like me who suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder when I was young. But life does not allow you to keep tearing and rewriting, and eventually you will find that there are not many pages in your "book" for you to write more. Only then will you know that sorrow is beginning to come upon you. The insidiousness and derailment of the mother, the inability to meet friends when she came, the indifference of the father, and the repression of the school and society as a whole made our little protagonist really become a "bad boy" in the end. He walked by the sea with empty eyes, what the future was he could not know and be sure of. The only thing that can be guaranteed is that he will never return to his old life. What he has to face is a confused unknown.

    A so-called rebellious person is always composed of a variety of factors, such as a discordant family, an unreasonable system, a loss of friends, etc., and perhaps the characteristics of natural inheritance. This film is smooth, and several soundtracks are very expressive. The whole plot and the rhythm of the story are well grasped. The last scene of running to the beach is a classic, but the exploration of society and people's hearts is not enough, and it is a small-scale film.

    #North Film FestivalRewatch# Truffaut was stubborn when he was a child. After his grandmother brought his eldest grandmother to death, he returned to his indifferent parents. He loved movies and Balzac since he was a child. Due to his poor academic performance, he was forced to drop out of school at the age of 14 and made a living by taking part-time jobs. The turning point in Truffaut's life was when he was 15 when he had the privilege of meeting Bazin. His talent has since been fully displayed. Bazin died young at the age of 40. Truffaut was so grieved that he made this film dedicated to Bazin.
