1. The universally applicable low-level life status of
small people is also worthy of a monument. The fear, worry, and despair of the thief's life remind people of all the living conditions of people living at the bottom of society. Behind the crime, the life of a thief also arouses all ordinary people's feelings: after a burglary, he said: "The courage is greatly increased because of success. It is not so much skill, but luck." Can not help people. Think of the joy of a young man's first success. This sentence is quite true and sincere, and the small details immediately show the director's deep insight into life.
2. Shooting technically superb
if you put aside the guilt of theft, those films simplicity of stealing close-up throughout the first amazing. Several people were stealing together. One person touched the wallet. The next second the wallet was in the hands of his companion, under the cover of a coat, he let it be moved elsewhere. Shooting these shots repeatedly, explaining clearly, various techniques and methods, at this time, the camera feels that it has changed from calm to a joy, and it seems that the moment of capturing the character's action is everything.
3. Ying Jian
, why are there thieves in the whole society , and why are there stealing? At the beginning of the film, there is a line saying, "Maybe it is because of poverty." The thief character in the film is well designed. He is not a cold-blooded criminal. On the contrary, he is sensitive and vulnerable to being destroyed. To better illustrate this point, the director added two roles, the thief's mother and Jeanna, to accentuate this feeling.
When asked by Jeanna why he wanted to steal, he said:
"The challenge is difficult. I am empty, I am very anxious."
And in turn said to Jeanna:
"You are naive. Father who is alcoholic, take you and The mother abandoned by your sister. You are still patient." At
this time, the contradictions of the entire society are all revealed here-indifferent family affection, social turmoil, anxiety and rebellion of young people, choice of good or evil.
Perhaps influenced by the kind-hearted Jeanna, the pickpocket went to Milan, then to Rome and London, working hard. However, due to his innate uncontrollable nature, he spent all his money and returned to Paris empty-handed. This whole process took only a few shots and a letter, and it was explained clearly in less than five minutes.
In the end is the fateful ending-this seems to be the conclusion in many crime movies, such as Melville's "Red Circle" and "Two Men in the City"-the pickpocket committed the crime again and was finally caught Cunning plainclothes caught on the spot. This ending may be caused by the character's own character, or it may be driven by the cruelty of the society.
The whole film uses a short narration to describe the actions of the characters, the very simple relationship between the characters, and the imaginable plot, but it is enough to reflect the theme of its tragedy; its true depiction of ordinary life, and it really makes people Feel a kind and regretful breath.
