best friend and threesome

The pinnacle of the new wave, I love Truffaut's "Jules and Jim" more than "The Four Hundred Blows". The motif of the film is ideals. I'm afraid that the ethics and morals constructed by the top-level design are used to domesticate ordinary people. It's incomprehensible...
Jul and Jim are good friends. Their friendship is obviously a bit ambiguous. However, they have already transcended the fetters of gender, and their friendship has surpassed love and reached eternity... ...
The appearance of Catherine led to a threesome. Who stipulated that couples must be bound by marriage? Who ruled that two men and one woman could not live together? The New Wave is to break the tradition and break the shackles of traditional thinking on people. This is a provocation to the mainstream ideology. Sadly, the New Wave ended in haste, and this film has become the epitome of Truffaut, and he gradually Bowing down to business and the mainstream, what is regrettable is not that people do not have the courage to challenge authority, but that human nature itself escapes freedom, just like Fromm's classic theory...
Today, people who see this movie will still be shocked by the movie. She was amazed by the narration of her and felt the avant-garde of her thinking, and wanted to scoff at her. However, what Catherine wanted to pursue was love, and what the three of them longed for was freedom. This was embraced by universal values. What’s wrong? We like to use our constructed morality to constrain others, to be regarded as a guardian of Taoism, and then to be full of benevolence and righteousness, and to be anesthetized by this. On the contrary, during the new wave period, some people really began to reflect and pursue the liberation of human nature, which is a pity This trend was quickly submerged by the majority of the society, and the official mainstream did not need to take action. The reason is that this trend of thought will detract from the interests of the vested interests, and it is unacceptable to the grassroots, so the grassroots cannot redeem themselves, and the grassroots can only do it. It can be to continue to live at the bottom of society, or to subvert society, form an inverted pyramid, and become a vested interest, while the new wave pursues the third path, self-liberation, which is actually very difficult to achieve...
In addition to the motif, the film naturally uses A large number of new wave techniques, such as the benchmark of authorism, stylized narrative, continuous use of narration, documentary aesthetics of long shots, freeze-frame and superimposition, etc. Truffaut is like Bazin’s shadow, maybe Truffaut And Bazin is like Jules and Jim, but Truffaut wants to play Jim, and Catherine, the film and aesthetics they love together, Truffaut wants to betray the oath with Bazin, so he chooses death to punish himself... …
Aside from the film technique, the camera and the scene scheduling, the picture of the film is really beautiful, the triangular composition formed by the three people, each pull-piece is like a work of art, the music is so beautiful, and the joy is also paying tribute to the new wave... …

Jules and Jim quotes

  • Jules: The most important factor in any relationship is the woman's fidelity. The husband's is secondary. Who was it who wrote, "Woman is natural, therefore abominable?"

    Jim: Baudelaire, but he was describing a certain world.

    Jules: Not at all. He spoke of women in general. What he says about a young girl is magnificent: "Horror, monster, assassin of the arts, little fool, little slut. The greatest idiocy combined with the greatest depravity." Wait. I'm not finished. This is marvelous: "I'm always astonished they allow women inside churches. What could they possibly have to say to God?"

    Catherine: You're both fools.

  • Jim: I understand.

    Catherine: I don't want to be understood. It's almost dawn.
