689 Words3 Pages
400 blows in a French drama made in 1959 directed by Francois Truffaut. Antoine Doinel a young kid living in Paris is causing trouble at home and school with an unclear goal in life. He is living around ignorant adults that don’t care about him. Lateral tracking shot at beginning. The kid who randomly ran out of ink is irrelevant and has no future meaning. In another era we might have thought he would develop but in this one it is just random. (One of the features of new wave where there are random events that don’t add to plot. Discontinuity) When skipping school the kid sees his mom kissing another man. He is furthered confused and isolated searching for an identity but not having a true father or a nice mother. Discontinuity between scenes
