It would be too reluctant to force me to say that I have an Antoine complex, because except for 400 Strikes, it seems that I have only watched every one of them as a light comedy. But in the last part, Truffaut's unbridled sensationalism took me down easily. At that moment, I looked at Antoine's eyes that I seemed to be familiar with. At that moment, it seemed Back to the beginning, Antoine by the sea contains a glimpse of everything.

Starting from the Antoine who was punished to stand for contradicting his teacher in "Four Hundred Blows", the restless but sincere Antoine appeared on the paper. He was naughty and loved to lie, but in that somewhat deformed family He never showed complete rebelliousness, but always waited, waiting for a stable family love. If it didn't work, he could only fight against the loneliness in his heart. Since then, other rashness and casualness have been deeply imprinted in his bones. , because he never really had anything, he was never overwhelmed. In "Antoine and Colette", he fought for his first love, but was thrown away because he was too active and willful. At that time, Antoine desperately wanted to seize everything, in order to make up for what he never really had. emptiness. At that time, he seemed to understand that the world was random and that nothing could be easily grasped. From "Stolen Kiss" to "Bed Household", he has always been wandering, stable life in a siege and always inexplicable passion, he is not like a playboy, but also like a child who is confused, he has no sense of responsibility, but he has no sense of responsibility. Not to mention the self, he even blurred the concept of self. But the consequences of his confusion are always virtuous and tolerant.

The last one. At the age of thirty years after the breakup of love, life could no longer bear his childishness, and Antoine's eyes seemed to show the word responsibility for the first time when he was holding the divorce agreement. But in the car, thinking about the teenage desire to kiss Colette and the friction with his new girlfriend seems to have pulled the "messy" Antoine back again. until he took out that photo. Maybe he has been stumbling, always being stupid, and naive, but Antoine has always been clumsily fighting, fighting the sincerity of love and life in his heart. Love runs wild, this run is too embarrassing, but after all, it is for love and life. Will the last Antoine ever have a real home? There is no answer, because he is always Antoine and Antoine doesn't know all the answers
