Too difficult~~

Watching Bresson’s movies often have to think about two questions, what kind of emotion is expressed and how he does it.
There is a lot of analysis on how to do it. The lens, sound, picture... In fact, what is most lacking is how he refined it? This is again mixed with the first question.
After reading it, I was deeply moved by the ending sentence... But is that all Bresson wants to pass on? I'm not sure. Movies cannot be simply explained as the fate, philosophical attitude, love, redemption, belief, religion of the bottom people... Language now reveals poverty. Bresson must have been moved by a complex mixture of intertwined emotions to create this movie. And his greatness lies in his ability to extract visible forms to deliver.
This process exists in his mind...I believe this process cannot be described.
The external form can be imitated, and the magical reaction in the middle is to think and try. Some people must be born with this talent, and Bresson must be.

    1. I steal for you, which is an inalienable right given to me by God. 2. Love is to never leave or give up when the other person is in difficulty, to give up one for the other. 3. Simple, simple, and simple.

    A detailed description of the environment and spiritual loneliness of the thief. Life is nihilistic. What is needed to resolve it? He regards theft as art and is not constrained by moral laws and other norms. In prison, time and space are no longer free, and love is the only hope. He once again regarded love as an art and devoted himself to it with all his strength. All things are just a form of resolving loneliness. The feeling of emptiness is similar to exhaustion, not as pure as it is, and therefore easier to compromise.

Pickpocket quotes

  • Jacques: Could one turn a blind eye to certain kinds of theft?

  • Michel: Can we not admit that certain skilled men, gifted with intelligence, talent or even genius, and thus indispensable to society, rather than stagnate, should be free to disobey laws in certain cases?

    L'inspecteur principal: That could be difficult. And dangerous.

    Michel: Society could only gain from it.

    L'inspecteur principal: Who will identify these supermen?

    Michel: They themselves. Their conscience.

    L'inspecteur principal: You know any man who doesn't think he's exceptional?
