The film reviews the life fragments of Antoine's life at various stages in various ways such as memories, dialogues, and book records, revealing the causal relationship between his various emotions, and conveying to us the psychology of Antoine's personality and feelings. cause.
1. Family cravings
Because in "Four Hundred Strikes", Antoine's parents were not good to Antoine and sent him to the juvenile prison, which caused him to escape from his parents to live alone. So when he encounters many problems, he will avoid it, which is the impact at this time. But the more far-reaching influence is in his young heart's desire for a happy family.
He said: Not only did I fall in love with a girl, I fell in love with her entire family. All the girls he fell in love with: Christine, Colette, and Sabine all have happy families. Because the family owned by such a girl can satisfy his inner desire. He even said: Yes, Christine's parents are not his. When Colette told him on the train that he forced her to give up by making her parents like her, he actually wronged Antoine. Because he really loves her family.
2. Oedipus complex
Because Antoine never got the love of his mother, or the love of his mother was deformed, so he developed an Oedipus complex. At the same time, because he lived alone at a young age, he suffered a lot of emotional deficiencies in his mind.
He once said to Christine: You are my mother, my sister, and my daughter. Christine said: I just want to be your wife. Lilian also said when he left Antoine: He needs a wife, lover, sister, nanny and nurse, and he can't satisfy all the roles. Antoine wanted to get a lot of psychological deficiencies from them and make up for things that he had never obtained in childhood. So his wife needs to play many roles that are mainly mothers, including many roles that can take care of him like nanny and nurse, because he was never taken care of when he was a child. Just like the lyrics sung in "Love Running": those girls who emit fragrance, their kisses are only in memory. Mom looked in the mirror in my father's room, and I smelled the perfume again. One of the reasons Antoine likes them is that he can smell his mother again from them, or see the characteristics of mothers.
3. Pursue passion
In the train, Antoine told Colette about the plot of the next book, and then Colette asked him: What happened then? He fell in love with her, did she fall in love with her? Antoine replied: He is likely to win her heart, but once they are together, they will deceive disappointment and break up as usual. I really don't want to repeat the frustrating scene in the first book. Colette said to him: It seems that what you are after is only the first encounter, once they come together, everything is boring. Combined with the following plot, we know that Antoine told her the story of him and Sabine, and this worry is a true portrayal of his heart. He pursues passion and freshness, but once together he will slowly get bored, and eventually enter an endless loop of quarreling and breaking up.
His every relationship: Mrs. Tabal is excited because of her appearance, temperament, wealth, and the wife as the client. Kyoko caught his attention because of the huge cultural differences, and eventually broke up because the cultural differences were too great to adapt. I went to bed with Lilian because Lilian often quarreled with him. He had many qualities that Kristen didn't have, which made him feel fresh. Colette is different from all other women in that he will refuse when he makes excessive demands, not centering on him, and letting him ask for it, which makes him feel different. Even Christine, who lost her passion, rekindled her passion after repairing TV before marrying her. For Sabine, just because of the freshness of putting together a photo, he fell in love with this strange girl, and then went to the world to find her like a needle in a haystack.
But these women eventually left him, just like the lyrics in "Love Running": We quarrel, make love, and quarrel, our love can't last, it's already a thing of the past, and we can only say goodbye to each other in the end. This person's name was Colette and Sabine, all of which slipped through the fingers. Girls who scent, their kisses can only remain in memories.
4. Egocentric
Antoine asked for a kiss to Colette on the train, but Colette rejected him: kissing is a matter of two people. Antoine, I liked you, but I never loved you, but you tried to force me to fall in love with you. You have not changed, you are as self-centered as before.
Antoine’s feelings are selfish, he only cares about his own mood, for the sake of his passion, regardless of whether he will hurt the people around him. When he fell in love with Christine, he derailed Mrs. Tabal; during his marriage with Christine, he derailed Kyoko and Lilian successively; after he and Sabine were together, he went on the train because of his passion. Encounter with Colette.
In the end, the film ends in the kiss between Antoine and Sabine, and the background music is "Love Runs". Corresponding to the beginning and end of the two people having crazy sex on the floor, the lyrics also hint that the relationship between the two people is destined to not last. At the same time, the scene also flashed back to the scene when he was playing amusement facilities in his childhood. Although the occasion is different, they are equally happy. The five Antoine series have come to a perfect end, and the first and fifth parts echo each other at the last moment. From the beginning to the end Antoine pursued to follow his heart and live happily without any restriction.
