Don't be sloppy in love, hesitate, love will love. Catherine does it, Jules does it, and it's just Jim, erratic, but at the end of the film, Catherine uses death to help him put an end to his crankiness and self-deception. People die, but love wins. I like it.
Truffaut always likes to get to the point of bullying, because he is an Aquarius. His peaceful smile hides a blade, and his gentle narrative explores the extreme of human nature. Whether it is family, friendship or love, he will not let go of any of them. He wants to torture, He wants to seek, and there must be a result, even if the result is a tragedy in the eyes of the world.
But perhaps in Truffaut's heart, living without faith and action is the greatest tragedy in life. He doesn't want Jim to oscillate between being alive and the real life like this, and through Katherine, he encourages Jim to live the real life. For people who have really lived, death is just a rest in music, nothing to do with joy or sorrow.
Catherine is a symbol of Truffaut's faith, a free and varied life. Let the sun rise every day of life is not a monotonous repetition. It's hard to do this because you have to firmly believe that you are an independent person, not a beast who follows the crowd.
From "The Four Hundred Blows" with no way back to "Jules and Jim" with death to prove the value of free existence. Truffaut, who is soft on the outside and tough on the inside, has been using movies to clarify his thinking about life.
In a nude painting, what the client sees is sex, and what the philosopher sees is life.
In the same way, Truffaut's films are the same. But you don't see pallor and void. The exploration and practice of life are unfolding seriously under the lens of Truffaut.
Truffaut's films are worth watching again and again, and he's a master in his own right. What motivated him to shoot the film was not the story itself, but the fragility and confusion, sin and sadness, self-help and resistance of human nature after tearing the veil, giving life an outlet and giving human nature a chance to choose.
His films, representing a philosophical belief, he did not say, never said his belief was correct, but when he understood that he believed in a belief, what he had to do, as a filmmaker, was to use him shot, telling the world what his beliefs are. And this action itself also shows that the director is taking himself and his life seriously, although he only lived to be 52 years old.
His films are like poets reciting poems, painters painting, writers writing novels, orators lecturing, in any case, the fast and concise editing frequency, in one go, makes you think too much, he seems to be saying to the audience, please listen I'm done, you can think about it, okay?
Commercial movies tend to relax people's brains, and people can live as they should after leaving the movie theater. In Truffaut's films, the point is not to play with film skills, but to make you cherish yourself and your life more after you walk out of the cinema. You will think about how to make life richer and better, instead of being drunk and dreaming like the walking dead. of living.
Defending her beliefs to the death, the little boy in "The Four Hundred Blows" or Catherine in "Jules and Jim" did it, and Truffaut, like his character, did it,
but among us Most, as cowardly as Jim, are sloppy when it comes to relationships, but we make excuses that because we didn't meet Katherine, our lives were doomed to be dull...
