Juex Interdits


When I first saw the film with my parents, I was more or less the same age as the main character girl. Until recently, I only had a vague memory about two scenes - when the air raids on the bridge that killed her parents and puppy, and when she refused to drink a cup of milk that contained a dead fly, as my mom pointed it out as interesting.

Decades later, I rented a video from a French school that I started to attend over the weekend, and saw the movie second time - only to find myself belonging to the foolish adult world. I felt as if I was knocked on the head, and was told "what the hell are you doing?"
Oui, this world can be too political in various levels. But what we need in this crazy world is the straightforward, pure humanity and love that transcend throughout the movie, isn't it?

As I'm usually too workaholic even on weekends, such as watching CNN and C-SPAN, I decided to saw the video for a change. At the end of the day, this has led me to ponder over the world and my career seriously.
