400 Blows...SHORT review

I thought the film 400 Blows was a pretty entertaining movie. Although it was monotonous during some portions of the film, it was overall effective for me. I think the movie did an especially good job portraying emotions and characterization. You could clearly tell when there was a mood change. For example, when Doinel family went to the movies, they were letting out all their tensions into this momentary happiness. Also, I thought the themes of family, love, friends and good morals were evident throught the plot and setting. The plot provided ample opportunity for the actors to experience these things. For example, when Antoine undergoes psychological questioning, he relfects on why he stole the typwriter and why he gave it back. Through this you can kind of get the feeling that he does have some remorse in him. In conclusion, it was a good movie and i would give it 3.5/5 STARS.
