Un flic a decent cop

The concept of New Wave movies has penetrated into subsequent film productions over time, and people no longer mention or even think of New Wave movies. However, this does not affect the great contribution of this wave to the development of movies.

Melville Jean-Pierre Melville is a pioneer and representative of the new wave film, among his 5 pinnacles, this one "un flic da Dawn" (by the way, I don't understand why the name of the film is Translated into Da Dawn, the French name is a policeman) ranked last in the 5 works, but we can still find that the minimalism upheld by the director has been fully expressed, less is more is Melville's consistent advocacy. Simple lines, simple pictures, but a lot of information, this is art.

Let's experience this minimalism through two scenarios. 1. The trial of Louis. Five police officers stood in a semi-circle around Louis at a distance. A young police officer who was about the size of Louis stood opposite Louis. A super bright spotlight the size of three heads shot directly from the young police officer's side to Louis' face. superior. When the scene ends, the camera immediately switches to the next peaceful picture. The interrogation scene is free of violence and brutality, however, the blank space allows the audience to see cruelty and blood. Otherwise, how could the bandit leader Simon, who was absolutely convinced that it was impossible to confess, said everything! 2. In a nightclub, Simon the gangster and boss entertains Coleman (Alain Delon), the sheriff and friend. The sheriff asked Simon one by one if he knew each member of the four-member gang headed by Simon. The last thing the sheriff said was Louis. At this time, Simon began to hesitate and then continued to deny it, but the sheriff said: He knows you. Simon said nothing, the sheriff got up and left. From Simon's eyes, we see fear and panic and overwhelm.

Minimalist and humorous at the same time. The man who delivered the drugs was as strong as a boxer, and compared to the end of his shipment, the man was a joke; Simon had said that Louis would never have said it, but when he told Paul that Louis did, Paul repeated Simon The previous words: c'est pas possible this is impossible, but Simon said: si, c'est possible it is possible. It's humor again, how simple the language is.

Also mentioned are the two star actors. The great thing about watching old movies is seeing your favorite actors when they were younger. The 37-year-old Alain Delon is still an unparalleled face with perfect facial features, and the years have added mature charm to him; Caterina Deneuve, who is only 30 years old, has that typical face. The French face is impeccably beautiful.

All in all, this is an entertaining movie. However, it is also quite niche. The turmoil of the times does not support people to calm down and appreciate slowly.
