400 blows? Damn, is mah face red. This ol' boah thought this was gon be one o' them pornos. 🤔

Mais, j'adore, moi, le petit M. Jean-Pierre Léaud est magnifique !

Masterpiece of a film. Masterpiece of an ending.

Analogous with those who live in Gaza.

This film hits so hard for those who didn’t really have parents around growing up or grew up in the foster system

Not much of an ending really. It just stops. For the same reason the kid has to stop, it has nowhere to go.

The entire film antoine nobody in his life even though the mother and her unfeeling boyfriend were around 😢sad

😢😢😢😢😢😢

i cant explain how gutting this scene is. the silent tracking shot. it makes me want to cry

Pog

So moving

I watched this movie yesterday and all I can do is think about the ending he never saw the ocean he always wanted too he saw it finally

You made it! The sea.

Masterpiece... My heart jumped so hard when it just ended like that

I think Truffaut took a risk with this long take because some viewers might become alienated by watching Antoine run for such a long time. Certainly, it's not something most directors would typically do. But Truffaut was very sure of himself and the effect it would have on the audience. Such a beautiful movie! Thanks for posting this scene in particular.

Sad story. Can say few things, poor boy. Not so lucky with parents. And that psycho teachers, good place in hospital, then in school.

The most iconic scenes in history of cinema

The famous "freeze frame" was actually the last two frames printed backwards and forward repeatedly over and over.

One of my favorite endings!

This ending hits hard....it hits really hard

Introverts back then:

I'm not crying, it's just been raining tears.

I love the film and the final sequence but that zoom in the final shoot took me out and make me laugh a lot. I don't understand the meaning or why some filmmakers choose that option.

Imbd has this absolute masterpiece rated 8,1/10. What the hell Imbd??

I love how he throws the ball back into the game then splits

"I like to cry at the ocean, because only there do my tears seem small" (IYKYK)

Where is this beach?

yes i saw it long time back nice movie! coming of age and all that. filmmakers and love for their shots.... even one minute is a long footage for any non break visual.

Two small details which I love: firstly, Antoine’s superimposition on the sign of the cross at 1:08, representing a coming together of Western and Eastern symbology - the number 108 in the traditions of the East represents the ontological wholeness of reality. I like this because it’s just a random, but somehow apposite coincidence based on the poster’s arbitrary selection, but also because it makes Antoine look as though he has angel’s wings. Secondly, immediately afterwards, Antoine ducks under a road sign when it would have been far, far easier to run around it - I wonder if that’s just something Léaud did on the spur of the moment or whether Truffaut asked him to do it. I don’t care what it means - if anything - I just like it.

Watched it last night and forgot how great French New Wave is this film is so good

Brabíssimo! rs

Hey all. I covered the theme song to The 400 Blows on the piano. Check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnKuqJqsgayoZqc

I'm gay and I found this title very misleading.

The long take of him running was so suspenseful, yet peaceful. It really made my heart pound the first time I saw it.

Fellini, Truffaut, Bergman; Kubrick those are real artists that proved filmmaking can be true art like Van Gogh or Beethoven's work too bad they didn't get the same mainstream succes like todays joke filmakers clowns like The Russo Brothers; Michael Bay; Adam Sandler sorry for bringing those dreadful names in this comment section

Here bc of harry potter okurrrrr

me doing cross country

I try to steer clear of the Greatest Ever game, but there isn't a better ending to a film that I know of. A pure shivers moment (fourth wall-breaker of the gods!) , and it never loses its power.

Haven't seen this in almost 50 years... When I was a kid my local PBS TV station (Ch. 13 in NY) used to have a Children's Film Festival, and I remember this film from then, remember the kid's face, the feeling of the movie, and especially the theme music (prevalent in this scene) that really emphasizes the mood.. I've been humming that theme to myself for decades, remembering the feeling but forgetting the source, but here it is again, literally in black and white... Thanks for posting...

One of my favorite endings of all time

MATHIEU STANNIS !

4:19 Zoom in, subject center frame Record scratch Antoine: (voiceover) Yup, that's me. I guess you are wondering how I ended up here. Film rollback effect. Interior, classroom.

Ovo je kraj filma 400 udaraca, remek dela Fransoa Trifoa. Mislim da je to jedna od napotresnijih scena, uopšte snimljenih na filmu. U susret kojoj buri i oluji juri ovaj dečak, bežeći iz doma?!Potresna muzika prati njegov beg, a dečakov pogled na kraju izaziva pomešana osećanja, triumfa i poraza!

I just remembered how fantastic this film is

Life sucks by Nelson

Freedom, elation, dead end .. fabulous scene
