This is NOT an early cop-out!! :)
Sometimes, communing with good movies have helped me arrive at epiphanies. Sometimes they’ve inspired me with courage to do make difficult decisions… Watching a good movie, appreciating the work of another artist, that is akin to meeting a good friend, no?
I remember being lost in a whirlwind after watching this one. Then, Francois Truffaut and I made good friends. He understands the blinding obsessions which people pass of as love. More importantly, he empathises and is tender with his treatment of it. (if my memory has misinterpreted this film, you must forgive me… it has been a few years since I watched it)
Having said that, this song really transfixed me when I first watched it in the context of the story…
