It's been a long time since I last watched a movie in black and white. The 400 Blows was a very interesting movie. I love the introduction of this movie. It was like I was in the car taking a tour of Paris. I also notice many high angle shots. The first one would be when Antoine and his friend ditch school to the Amusement park. There was a high angle shots looking down on Antoine while he was in the gravity ride.
While he was in this ride instead of being boring like the other riders he was turning upside down and moving around. Honestly I would never get inside a ride like this! While watching this scene I wanted to puke. I'm not into rides that turns in circle. Another scene of high angle would be when the class took gym around the city, they were jogging. It was hilarious watching students take turn running into stores and how the teacher had no clue to what was going on.
Excellent post! You have a thoughtful response to the movie overall, and your discussion of this scene is outstanding. Love the gif. Mimi
