Two years ago, I saw Hou Hsiao-hsien mentioned Bresson in "Hou Hsiao-hsien's Film Lectures". Recently, in "Jia Xiang", I also saw that Jia Zhangke said that he liked Bresson and liked "The Pickpocket" the most. This is the reason for watching "The Pickpocket".
Expressionless, the dialogue is few and short, and there are many narrations (actually reading his own diary). The psychological descriptions before and after the theft and the techniques of theft are wonderful. Michelle loves to do this, recognizes it from the bottom of her heart, thinks it is a wonderful performance art, and works hard to train, and can work perfectly with people, the cooperation between them is really wonderful. Of course he also has weaknesses, nervousness and trembling hands, but he is different from people who "say but don't do" or "do but don't say", he says and does it, "courage is determination". He loved his mother and Jenny, and he was worried that Jenny would look down on him. After his partner was arrested and the police targeted him, he left Paris for two years, and lived a shaky life elsewhere. After returning to Paris, he gave Jenny a promise to be arrested and imprisoned in the burglary, but it was not a bad thing for him. He got Jenny's true love and was excited by Jenny's letter. After many years of rootless nothingness After a few days, I can finally calm down.
As the text at the beginning of the film says, this is a story about a man who threw himself into an adventure due to his own weakness, and because of the strange nature of the adventure itself, two hearts that could not have been together came together. Michelle and Jenny both have life's predicaments, and they take a bizarre journey to finally get rid of it.
