Film: The 400 Blows 

Never seen before. From a 2022 perspective...strikes me as a socially conservative film. The villain of the film if you want to call it that, are the boy's parents and particularly the mother, who is irresponsible, unloving, and lazy toward her child. I found the poor teachers at his school oddly sympathetic - they were unfair and judgmental but at least they cared and tried. They were overwhelmed! They had too many students, many without any discipline whatsoever. Hard to escape the detail that the mother wanted to abort the boy -- what might the pro choicers say on this matter?
