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 would have liked to give it four stars. Later, I went to count the frames of ringing the doorbell when entering the door and decided to give it five stars. (The teacher who teaches you every week suddenly appears on CC's comment track and suddenly feels motivated to write her essay again.)

    The first Truffaut I watched was also the first New Wave. It's a very different landscape from classic Hollywood, a very literary film, from which you can glimpse European literary traditions. The story of the small incision finally has a sense of fate and sadness in life. It's really a fictional exploration of film. I like the weak and ambiguous beauty of the male protagonist's anti-masculine temperament. Uncle AB is also a pianist and has such eyes and eyebrows.
