The moon does not understand the shadow drinker with me

The film begins by stating that the film is dedicated to Andre Bazin. In 1958, André Bazin died young, failing to see his follower Truffaut's debut, "The Four Hundred Strikes," come out in 1959 and win the Palme d'Or. This is a movie in which many shots in the film are full of deep meanings related to the plot. The shots go beyond the definition of simple narration and promote the development of the plot, and truly elevate the art of film to a higher level. Like Ingmar Bergman, he has already crossed the level of telling a good story and made the seemingly impossible exploration of using the language of video to explore philosophy and religion. The title of the film "Four Hundred Strikes" comes from a French slang term, which probably means that children should be beaten
often , and they can't wait to beat four hundred times to be obedient. I almost missed a good movie because of this inexplicable title.

I agree that "Four Hundred Blows" is a movie about the growth of teenagers, but it is not the past of every child. The so-called cruel sadness, at least I don't have such an experience. I remember that when I was a child, what troubled me was the lack of grades. Taking the first place, having diarrhea in changing seasons, entanglement of several inexplicable boys, and occasionally revealing hidden worries about life from parents. Looking at the pictures of myself in elementary school, my face is always sad. My mother said that I was too precocious and too sensible. In this way, no matter what kind of troubles a teenager has, there are always some troubles. I don't have enough sympathy for Anthony in "Four Hundred Blows", I think he and his mom could have done better. If you really love movies, you will find a different kind of life in movies. If you really love Balzac, you will find the power to live a good life from his writings.
