Shooting Pianist

Although I see that "Four Hundred Strikes" is my favorite now, "Shooting the Pianist" is also moving.
I don't know if it's because I am a person who often deviates from the theme, so the most fascinating place to watch is in the farm, where the pianist and the two young and dangerous brothers reminisce about the past. He was taken off the farm as a gifted musical child, but eventually he came back as a murderer, whether in self-defense or something.
As if everything was doomed to bring you back no matter how far you fled. And it's spring-loaded, the harder you earn, the more thoroughly you'll come back.
On the road you take, it seems that every step is away from your hometown, but in fact, every step is leading you back to your hometown and back to your mother. Really.

    I especially like the scene where Charlie goes to the company to talk about the contract. From the moment he went up the stairs, he could hear the loud violin playing, and when he hesitated whether to ring the doorbell, a listless girl walked out and passed him. At this time, there was a special divine arrangement. The camera that had been following Charlie decisively abandoned our protagonist and started following this girl! After the girl walked a few steps, Charlie's piano suddenly sounded, and the girl stopped, but the camera did not stop moving, but continued to back away from the subject until the girl was left alone in the middle of the empty corridor. The piano sound accompanies the girls walking out of the company, and connects to the scene where Charlie in costumes plays on the stage, receiving thunderous applause. Many directors will directly show the turning point of the protagonist's fate, but Truffaut chooses to briefly shift the focus to an inconspicuous dragon, and through the failures and failures of the supporting roles, the protagonist's success and gain are shown on the side. And the clever thing is that the protagonist's subsequent fall is also hinted at by his alternation with the girl. Charlie would end up being another guy who walked out of the room, off the stage, and disappeared.

    Léna: Well, Helén became Heléna, then Léna.

  • Charlie Kohler: [Talking to himself] Come on, come on, get your mind on something else. Think of Art Tatum. Has he got talent? And Erroll Garner? Yes, Erroll Garner *has* talent.
