Hmmm...

The only problem I have with The 400 Blows (although it's a huge one) is that I just don't like Antoine Doinel as a character. It's hard to feel sympathy for this kid when he seems to ask for every problem he's got. Apocalypse Now works so much better for me. It's a great war movie.

A reductive but useful way to look at this one: optimism or pessimism?

Oh, man. I agree with Caesar.
