In 1968, there was a student movement, a street confrontation, a revolutionary enthusiasm, and a May storm. When it was inevitably combined with these elements in 1968, was it labeled instead? For François Truffau, the leader of the New Wave, that year, he and members of the New Wave gathered at the entrance of the French Film Archive, shouting the same name-Henri Langlois , That year, he held high the banner and called on the directors to withdraw from the Cannes Film Festival to support the May Storm; that year, they stood by the students and called for France to move towards a more democratic future...
1968 was the politically strong year of 1968. 1968 was the most revolutionary year for New Wave movies. 1968 was the year of Truffaut's passionate 1968. However, when politics and movies became the themes of 1968 Words, why is "Stealing the Kiss", which was released only four months after the May Storm, is far away from politics? Where is the new wave? Where is the student movement? Where is Truffau? It seems to be nowhere to be found. In a 90-minute film that appeared at the Avignon Film Festival, there was only another name: Antoine-when Antoine came from the childhood of 400 hits, from the youth of broken love Where will he go when he walks? In the third part of the "Antoine" series, Truffaut stands behind Antoine, using another name, another way, another life, pushing 1968 to a more confused, weaker, and more A more noisy future.
"Beds and Clouds" has not been staged, Antoine’s marriage story has not yet kicked off, but Truffaut seems to have arranged a certain ending in his love in 1968: the last scene is in the park, Antoine finally and Christine was holding hands together, the conversation written on paper at breakfast, the ring replaced with a special knife and fork, and the night that he slept together in the name of repairing the TV, all seemed to turn them into A couple no longer separated, but when they were sitting on a park bench like a couple, they saw a man opposite: This is a man who always followed Christine, who walked from behind to the front for the first time. He slowly walked towards the couple. In fact, his goal was only Christine-when Antoine was ignored, when the happy expression overflowing on their faces was ignored, the feeling of not being blessed seemed to be faced by them. The embarrassment of this strange man, and the words that the man said when he walked to Christine pushed their love to an unknown:
I know that I am just a stranger to you, I have been following you for a long time, but I will not hide anymore, it is time. Before I saw you, I never fell in love with anyone. I hate temporary affairs. I know life well. Everyone will betray other people. But you and me will be different. We will never leave each other, even if it’s just For an hour, I have no job, no life burden, you are my only one. I understand that it seems too sudden for you to understand immediately. You need time to break the past and break those temporary relationships. I will be the last one, and I am very happy.
This is a man’s not affectionate but sincere confession. He has been paying attention to her, has been following her, treating her as the only person in love, seeing her as the source of happiness, and listening to this man’s words Going up is more like a mockery of Antoine's "I am the worst liar in the world": He has not fallen in love with anyone, but Antoine has always been in trouble; he will not betray, Antoine has already betrayed Christine; he will not leave his lover, but Antoine always avoids Christine... even when a man wants Christine to break, and even a temporary relationship, it points to this he didn't look directly at it. Antoine. But what is the use of an affectionate but insincere confession to Christine who does not know the truth, and Christine who sees the light of love? "He must be a lunatic." This is Antoine and Christine's definition of a strange man. After the confession, they got up from the bench, they left arm in arm, and walked towards them as if nothing happened. The love that leads to Antoine's next life "Bei Li Fengyun".
The man in love turns into a lunatic, sincerely confessing his disdain, which seems to be a kind of joking. For Antoine and Christine, 1968 is the starting point for true love, just like Truffaut deliberately With his back to politics, the other side of 1968 is unfolded in a gentle, sweet and interesting life-the first act of the movie seems to be a metaphor. The door of the French Film Archive is closed, and there is no one who enters. There are no people passing by, and no people gathering there. Everything that is empty seems to have removed all the shadows of the May storm, and this picture that has been emptied of political elements is an attitude of Truffaut, in the 90-minute film Here, there are hardly any heavy topics involved in 1968. The only time when Antoine called Christine. As a student of the Conservatory of Music, Christine talked about student sports on the phone. It also mentioned the news that a person named Marie was injured, but only to mention that Antoine seemed a little impatient, said "you can't hear your phone", and hung up-the empty French film information management. Speaking of news about the student movement that was neglected on the phone, Truffaut seemed to keep Antoine away from the politically set 1968.
Away from politics, of course, only life remains. For Antoine, when he comes out of the closed iron door, when he bids farewell to the life of a prisoner that "can only pee at six," what he wants is a kind of life. Served as a deserter, beaten the police, and went to prison. For Antoine, all of this has become a thing of the past. He seems to want to welcome a new life in a revolutionary way. Kristen is of course a beautiful existence. She has been thinking of him and waiting for his letter. She hasn't received a reply for 6 months. She thought Antoine didn’t want her anymore, so she was sad for a long time, but when she saw Ann Tovan reappeared in front of her, a kind of hope ignited, which was the always charming smile on her face. He met her and Antoine began to look for work, from hotel janitor to private detective, to becoming a shoe store employee because of his business, to TV repairman, Antoine's attitude towards life is still positive, especially as a When he was a private detective, his task was to investigate based on clues from clients. For this job, Antoine put almost all his energy on it: because he wanted to investigate the magician, he took Christine to the theater. The magic show, with new clues, he even left her to follow; because he wanted to investigate Batar's wife, he became a shoe store clerk and approached Mrs. Batar on the initiative and found clues from the clues of three ties... from the hotel. From doorman to private detective to TV repairman, Antoine is dedicated to his work. He seems to fit the image of a young man who loves life.
However, when Antoine said: "I am the worst liar in the world." His positioning is not a kind of self-exile, and he is not biased, summing up his own character appropriately. This is a young man who has not really found his future. This is a man who is still in a bewildered world. He walked out of the iron gate, deserted soldiers, and attacked the police. These are his bad records in the past, and he walked out of this gate. , The bad record seems to be unfolding on the level of life again, "I can’t work for the government." This is a fate of being exiled by the mainstream, so in the continued perplexity, in the continued uneasiness, Antoine became himself and did not want to The "worst liar" to change, especially in attitudes toward women. "Land mines are the same as women. You must be gentle." This is the content of the class in the iron gate, but in Antoine's world, he is gentle with women, but he seems to establish a relationship between men and women in the satisfaction of a desire .
In Antoine’s life, the first type of woman was a prostitute on the roadside. The first thing he came out was to find a street girl, and then he couldn’t wait to kiss her and take off his clothes; when he became a private detective At that time, I saw my colleague flirting in the bathroom. When my colleague said that he did not want to marry the woman named Catherine, Antoine asked the question: "Why don't you go find a chicken?" The colleague said, "They are too dirty", but for Antoine In terms of hypocrisy, this seems to be a kind of hypocrisy, so he will not be too dirty to be with them, "making love is compensation for death." In terms of satisfying the most basic level of desire, Antoine only regards them as women, even Become an excuse to comfort yourself: When having a relationship with Batal's wife and quitting his job, Antoine once again went to find a prostitute, as if he wanted to forget everything in his physical intercourse.
He follows the woman on the road, like a hunter looking for prey, expecting a stimulating affair, and Madame Batal is undoubtedly an unexpected gain for Antoine. She was originally the object of his own investigation, but a beautiful and sexy Ba Mrs. Tal made him feel perfect for the first time. In front of a perfect woman, he began to study English frantically. In that long shot, Antoine looked in the mirror and kept saying a few spoken English words repeatedly. , Even his face and mouth were deformed-he seemed to want to approach Madame Batal in this way. And Batal seemed to like him too. She invited him to drink tea and listen to music together. Faced with this aggressive woman, Antoine was at a loss. When he pretended to be sick and did not go to work, Mrs. Batard came to the door. , A story of "Ghost Lily" cited by Antoine, the impossible love in Madame Batal becomes possible, "We all love the exception, we need to spend a good time." Batal The lady closed the door, locked it, and threw the key into the vase, "I am not a ghost, I am a woman."
From the prostitute on the roadside to the noble lady, from satisfying the lust to enjoying the good time, different women appeared in Antoine’s world, but for him, they were all just desire, not love, and the only one who loved him One person is Christine-when Mrs. Battal locked the door to open the good time, but Christine outside the door, when a woman who truly loved him was shut outside, when he was caught by someone seeking good time Women’s possession is actually not that Antoine is a liar. It seems that everyone is tempted on the edge of morality and is crazy outside of love. Antoine became a private investigator, almost all of his job was to find clues to destroy the marriage; and when he became a hotel staff, he also encountered an incident in which his husband caught and raped his wife and lover on the spot; a woman who was originally a nanny sneaked out The child is handed over to others, and after changing his status, he enters a strip club...
In this society, Antoine is a practitioner and a bystander. Everything that happens here has nothing to do with politics. They are life, love, a good life, and the return of "I am a woman", but when they constitute 1968 When the scenery was in New Year, it must also become an annotation of this era. He and she seemed to become a whole, in the world of Truffaut's images, interpreting confusion and anxiety. Christine is an exception. When Antoine finally returned to her world, back to the love story, life in 1968 still seemed to be messy: Christine deliberately removed Antoine because she couldn’t find Antoine. Antoine returned to him after calling for maintenance of the TV; Antoine came to the door in Christine’s expectation, but pretended to be serious about repairing the TV; on the ground was a pile of parts and scattered clothes. When the camera enters the room, the bed is empty—they are not in the room the audience expects, but in another room, as if the so-called love is missing in anticipation, but inadvertently descends, in the final confession The encounter turned out to be just a kind of madness.
Kisses are gentle, funny, and happy, but there are too many "steal kisses" in love. Not only kisses are stolen, but also loyal, true and sweet, annotated love, in fact They are all on the other side. In the 1968 story, they are just an ideal. Maybe, politics is the same. The May storm is gone, the voice of revolution is gone, and the new wave seems to be gone. In 1968, when What are we talking about when we talk about revolution? Perhaps, only life is talking about life.
