A little scene about Bernard

The most touching scene is when Lucas asks Bernard: "Marian loves you, how do you feel about her?" Lucas here is a husband, and he wants to find someone for Marian in the perilous reality. Relying on; is a Marian public admirer, a lover, painful and happy to fulfill Marian and himself.

It was the intuition of the husband, the lover, and the intuition of the director that allowed him to reveal this relationship before Marianne and Bernard. The male and female protagonists have a mutual affection. Perhaps he has seen enough of this kind of thing, so much that he can appeal to intuition to exemplify, turn sensibility into reason, and then use reason to move the era of collective trampling on individuals.

The revealing of this small scene is very clever. On the one hand, it greatly fills in the sense of emptiness after the main line climax (searching the cellar), and it also eliminates the clichés of men and women on the sidelines. On the other hand, it is the finishing touch to the image of Lucas (deep love, wisdom, responsibility).

    There are no overly intense climax scenes, and Truffaut's smooth narrative makes us feel the French people's pursuit and dedication to art, as well as their tenacious fighting spirit in troubled times. Deneuve is still noble and beautiful~

The Last Metro quotes

  • Daxiat: This may sound strange coming from me, but I think your husband, Lucas Steiner, was wrong to leave France. The new anti-Israelite theater laws apply to spectators and profiteers. But your husband, Mme. Steiner, was a gem. He was the only Israelite theater director...

    Marion Steiner: You may say 'Jewish'.

    Daxiat: Yes. He was the only one to be a leader, stage director and an artist. You see, the Germans are deeply attached to culture. They don't want talented artists to leave France.

  • Raymond Boursier: [Yelling at Nadine as she gets out of a Nazi jeep] Not only are you late, you showed up with the Jerries. Jean-Loup will be pissed.

    Nadine Marsac: What do you want? I was at a dubbing session. We worked late. They offered me a ride.

    Raymond Boursier: Nothing stops you, If they had offered you a part in 'Jew Süss' you'd have taken it.

    Nadine Marsac: And how! But they didn't have a role for a French girl.
