This is a very old movie.
Released in 1968, it is the representative work of the famous French director François Truffau.
François Truffau has the classic "Antoine series", which tells the story of the growth of a boy Antoine from childhood to adulthood in the context of a big era.
"Stealing a Kiss" is the third part of the series and tells the story of Antoine's 23-year-old.
Antoine is a naive boy who likes literature, has a simple personality, and sometimes acts very dull.
Antoine joined the army because he had watched "The Greatness of Service." But in the army, he was confused. Because he left the watch many times without authorization, he was often detained. However, when in confinement, he still holds Balzac's "Lily of the Valley" in his hand.
After three years in the army, he was declared by the general that he could not be honorably discharged. With this item in the file, he could no longer work for the state unit.
He has spent all his allowances, even his civilian clothes have been stolen, and his military uniforms have also been required to be sent back home.
But this is the case, Antoine will still laugh happily after the general tells a joke.
In his values, this seems to have no effect at all.
Antoine feels a little heartless.
After leaving the army, Antoine's first thing to do was to find a small house and release his hormones.
Antoine followed the young lady into the room. After several actions were refused, he went downstairs in disappointment.
After seeing a charming lady in red at the back, he obediently followed into another room.
Satisfied the desire, Antoine returned to his home.
There are cobwebs everywhere in the house, but fortunately, there is a place to sleep.
Antoine has a childhood sweetheart, Christine, who came to Christine's house, but she happened to be away.
Christine's parents received Antoine warmly, and after learning that he was discharged from the army, they took the initiative to introduce him to work.
It just so happened that there was a hotel that needed to be watched and needed to take office immediately, so Antoine went without hesitation.
This is Antoine's first job after leaving the army, and he is also diligently completing the assigned tasks.
Two old men came to find a female tenant, but Antoine didn't know how to do it, so he took them directly upstairs with the key.
After opening the door, Antoine turned his head shyly.
This is a scene of rape. The dull husband doesn't know what to do, but the wife on the bed is chattering endlessly.
The private detective gave the vase to the husband and encouraged him to throw it at his wife. Unexpectedly, the dull husband just pulled out the flowers in the vase and threw it at his wife.
The private detective asked Antoine to go downstairs to call the police, and Antoine obediently called the police.
The hotel owner angrily dismissed Antoine.
Antoine's first job also came to an end.
Antoine, who lost his job, followed the private detective to the restaurant. Under the introduction of the private detective, he started his second job.
Covering half of his face with a newspaper was the first trick he learned.
Antor’s first task was to follow a woman, but he was quickly discovered dumbly.
After the woman called the police, Antor had to escape.
Although the work is not going well, fortunately, private investigators are still a decent job for outsiders.
Antoine came to Christine's house for a dinner party, and when he went to the wine cellar, he couldn't help kissing Christine.
But Christine pushed him away.
In the days that followed, when Antoine came, Christine would sneak away through the back door.
Antoine also felt Christine's neglect, and he began dating a tall woman.
And soon, he received a new task to investigate a magician.
Antoine took Christine to watch the magician's performance, Christine took the initiative to hold hands, but Antoine was busy with his work.
After the magician stepped down, Antoine dropped Christine and continued to follow the magician.
Once following the magician, after watching him enter the post office, Antoine suddenly remembered that it was wrong to leave Christine alone in the club last time, so he called Christine from the public phone.
When he finally returned to the post office, the post office was closed.
Such a bad performance made Antoine face yet another unemployment.
Just as Antoine was facing unemployment, the boss received a new guest.
He is a shoe store owner, but he thinks that people around him don't like him. He wants to know why.
So the boss arranged for Antoine to investigate undercover.
While working in a shoe store, Antoine did not perform well, but his handsome appearance and well-behaved personality still made him win the favor of some people.
One night, he heard a noise from the shoe store, and when he came out, he saw a beautiful woman.
She is the boss's wife, come to find a pair of suitable shoes.
Antoine was fascinated by her style.
At that time, Antoine heard that the boss’s wife was speaking English, so he started to listen to English songs frantically and to learn English.
In the shop, he always said the kind words of the proprietress.
Once, the lady boss learned that Antoine liked herself in a chat with the clerk.
She was very happy.
The boss took Antoine back to his home, and later because of something, the boss left.
The proprietress invited Antoine to drink coffee and turned on the music.
Antoine knew what would happen next, but he was scared, and he quickly went downstairs and escaped.
In the detective office, Antoine is still doing his best to protect the boss.
At the door of his house, he received a tie from the proprietress, but he did not want this story to continue.
Antoine wrote a letter to the proprietress with the sentence of "Glen Lily", saying that he would not meet again in the future.
But the proprietress did not give up, she came to Antoine's home, while Antoine was still asleep at this time, shyly he wrapped the quilt tightly.
The proprietress said that she also likes "Lily of the Valley" and said that the two will not have a future, but hope to enjoy the next period of time.
Antoine agreed, the lady boss closed the door, and spent a few happy hours with Antoine.
Antoine confessed to the boss about his affairs with his wife, and his job was also lost.
At the same time, the old detective who brought him into the line also passed away.
Antoine later became a TV repairman.
Christine deliberately broke the TV at home, she asked Antoine to repair it.
In the process of Antoine repairing the TV, Christine deliberately tossed, finally staying Antoine through the night.
The two were finally together again, and Antoine lost his job as a result.
While Antoine and Christine were relaxing outside, a weird man who had been following Christine confessed to her.
The film also ended with the departure of the two.
The 23-year-old Antoine was confused.
For work, he has served as a soldier, a hotel night watchman, a private detective, a shoe clerk, and a TV repairer. He has done so much, but he is obeying other people's arrangements, and after all, he still doesn't understand what he should do.
For love, he likes Christine, but when she is perfunctory, he will quickly find other women; the proprietress’s style fascinates him, but he also understands that such feelings will not have results. Although I finally walked with Christine, it is clear that this relationship cannot go very far.
Regarding love and work, he doesn't even know what he wants?
And this situation is the same as most young people today. It seems that we don’t even know what we want.
Without ambition, or without a goal of seeking truth from facts, it seems that there are many ways to follow other people's arrangements.
Some people even spend their entire lives without knowing what path they should take.
So in your limited time, let yourself experience more things as soon as possible, and seriously think about the way you want to go.
Time does not wait for me, please cherish yourself!
