"Day and Night" tells about the various difficulties encountered in the filming process, the complex relationship between actors, and the producers' demands on the shooting schedule. Truffaut himself played the role of the director in the film, and explained that the characteristic of the director's profession is that he is constantly solicited opinions from others, but sometimes he does not have a definite answer. Despite the constant turmoil in the crew, the director still loves his profession so much. He said to the actor that "movie scenes are better than life", and in the director's dream, we see a child who loves movies so much that he went to the cinema door to steal stills from "Citizen Kane". The original meaning of "round the clock" was a method of filming, through filters, so that night scenes could be shot during the day. As the name of the film, it also implies the inversion of life and work during the filming process, as if day can become night, and reality can also be called a part of the film, so the dialogue in reality becomes the lines in the film , and at the end, whether in reality or in the movie, Alexander ends with death.

    The original name of this film is a professional term, referring to the fact that Americans often use filters to shoot night scenes in broad daylight, and the sky is dark blue through the filter... This method of shooting night scenes during the day and not at night is called: United States night of. A movie that is a bit boring to me, maybe I'm not interested in making movies at all. If I know how the movies are arranged, I don't want to watch them. The male pig's feet "Ai Fangwan" really shows the feeling of a childish fool.

    In fact, the director was very shy in front of the camera, walking all the time without looking directly at the audience. In addition, there are various elements in the play, even the "death" at the end. Although it is not a murder, a car accident can be considered a "death".

Day for Night quotes

  • Joelle: The scene needs a new idea. Call your co-writer!

    Ferrand: I thought of it. He's in Japan. He's adapting Turgenev's "First Love". Set in modern Japan. Great idea!

  • Joelle: Back to work! You dictate, I'll type. We promised it to Julie tonight.

    Ferrand: Okay, back to the kitchen. No more guilt or sense of shame. They decide to run away like thieves in the night.

    Joelle: "Pamela" could actually say that! We must show that she's completely lucid. She loved the son, now she loves the father. That must come across.

    Ferrand: Yes. Julie explained it very well. Here's her interview in the morning paper: "The girl realizes the boy she married is only a pale reflection to his father." She understood the script! Why? Because her mother was an actress. She knows Hollywood, where many kids try to live up to famous parents. Fairbanks, Barrymore and others.
