Four Hundred Strikes--A closed and gloomy childhood life

In an ordinary afternoon, daylight penetrated into the room and watched this more than an hour-long French classic new wave movie. To be honest, the contact and understanding of this are relatively meagre. I have had contact with Shang Lu before. Gundam La chinose, this movie is also made by the master. It has been 50 years since the film, but what it expresses is outdated and has a portrayal of today's young people. The author's comment focuses on the discussion of social and cultural phenomena, because the author has a little knowledge of movies. The language of the film is distinctive, with a long shot, and also has an inherent deep meaning. Anthony, the protagonist in the movie, is like a young man today, but in a different era. He lives in a middle-class family and his parents don't love him. He is often scolded by teachers at school, and he can't find his position. It reminds the author of an English song. It is the lyrics of Gary Jules' Mad World that says No one knew me. No one knows him or understands him.

He did some "anti-social behavior", like lying and stealing. For young people today, in fact, everyone is essentially the same. Young people in Hong Kong take drugs, have sex early, and steal. Like most people, they will grow up in exchange for layers of barriers between people. His indifference has begun since the beginning of the world. Or as Qian Zhongshu's "Besiege" mentioned that life is to force people, so it is necessary to break through the wall. With the changes in the family model in modern society, both parents have to go out to work, so that the care of young people is relatively reduced, coupled with the development of the contemporary Internet, the influence of peers. The struggle and hardship of young people in their hearts can be seen with curiosity and doubts. They don't know how to solve problems, and their parents often only know how to beat and scold, blame and punish. The government propaganda film once mentioned a sentence "The good and bad children care about communication and care." In fact, how many parents can guarantee to do it, I believe that the growth of this generation is full of scars. Just like the friends around the author, there are some people who are not cared for, and some parents do not understand their children. Teflon mentioned this as early as 50 years ago, and the same movie is his semi-autobiographical record.

Four Hundred Loves is a good movie. It uses the rebellious psychology of young people to express dissatisfaction with reality. Even now, in a capitalist society, in a networked society, and under autocratic politics, we all need to have our own opinions. , Appeal. After searching for information, I realized that this was Tefran's first feature film and gave it to his dearest teacher. It is also a true and affectionate work. It is also a work related to everyone's growth.
PS The author's opinion book, please advise me more.
