7.9.2009 – Les Quatre Cents Coups by Francois Truffaut

  Antoine Doinel

Antoine Doinel

This movie was about a young school boy from France. First thing you notice it that he gets in a lot of trouble at school. His teacher punished him alot. It’s an old black ‘n white movie with good quality audio.

The author’s purpose probably was just to describe a young boy’s life when everything goes wrong. He gets expelled from school, he sees her mother date another guy and he moves to the streets. This is an old time family drama. It’s kind of sad movie, and the lack of color makes it even more sad. The mood is somewhat depressed and also a little exciting in some parts.

The film was done in 1959, in France and directed by Francois Truffaut. The Main character is Antoine. Overall the movie was good, the outline is pretty much as good as today’s movies’ but of course the thing that makes it less attractive is the fact of it being colorless.

The movie’s message to the viewers in my opinion is that when a kid is being treated bad at school and at home, it might cause him/her to escape. It might even warn some parents that they shouldn’t go so hard on their kids. The movie is probably intented to anyone older than 10 years old.
