"The Last Subway", the dubbed version was released in China in the late 1980s. The French Cultural Center recently screened a group of works by the new wave master Truffaut, this is one of the representative works. Going to revisit it today. When I was young, I only watched the actors and the plot. No matter who the director was, it was the big-nosed Depardieu who had dominated the French screen with Alain Delon for decades. At that time, Depardie was just a young age, before being fat and rich and forced to immigrate to Russia; and the heroine Catherine Deneuve, although milfs, was still beautiful. (By the way, a digression, the calendar says that today is Alain Delon's 80th birthday) As soon as the film was shown, the scenes and characters in Paris during World War II reminded me of Lust, Caution, elegant and calm. In a heartbeat, I praised Master Li An secretly again, for being able to hold the soul of the old era in the air.

The Last Metro quotes

  • Marion Steiner: It takes two to love, as it takes two to hate. And I will keep loving you, in spite of yourself. My heart beats faster when I think of you. Nothing else matters.

  • Daxiat: This may sound strange coming from me, but I think your husband, Lucas Steiner, was wrong to leave France. The new anti-Israelite theater laws apply to spectators and profiteers. But your husband, Mme. Steiner, was a gem. He was the only Israelite theater director...

    Marion Steiner: You may say 'Jewish'.

    Daxiat: Yes. He was the only one to be a leader, stage director and an artist. You see, the Germans are deeply attached to culture. They don't want talented artists to leave France.
