Noting in the opening voiceover that “It is the privilege of legends to be timeless,” Cocteau’s transportation of the myth to post-war France is inflected with contemporary issues of the period, as well as Cocteau’s own preoccupations. While Pauline Kael describes Orpheus as inducting a “new mythology” derived from the “emblems and images of the then recent Nazi period,” the film also takes on far more personal resonances with Orphée an obvious echo of Cocteau himself.

korn really set the bar for bad parents in BL b/c he’s not a bad parent b/c he’s homophobic, oh no, in fact he’s the opposite he supports all his gay sons and even his gay nephews he’s a bad parent b/c he made his semi-foster nephew believe for a whole 60 secs that him and his bio son were cousins fucking nasty while hiding his foster sister in the attic for like 20 years, killing his nephews father, all after faking his own death and then sent his gay sons on a boat party to celebrate their engagement

Something about Naruto never having anyone’s attention and having to fight for every interaction negative or not so people never saw him as a person or worth treating like a person whereas Sasuke has everyone’s attention and that nothing but a burden to him, used and objectified by everyone around him and in that he too is never seen as a person with his own autonomy.
But in each other they found one person who saw past all that and loved them for them and not what could get out of using them or how much they had to prove themselves worthy of basic human decency.

The film’s characters and incidents were based on the early life of it director. Like Doinel, Truffaut was raised in a petit bourgeois milieu, with a distant mother and a father who was not his real father. A rebellious teen, he played truant from school and spent his days at the movies. He was locked up in a reformatory in 1948 and incarcerated in a military prison in 1951, after deserting from the army. It was the film critic André Bazin who secured his release – and set him on his path first as a critic and then as a director. The 400 Blows is tinged, inevitably, with love and bitterness towards his family. As Truffaut wrote in 1962: “I have always loved my father and my mother; I have not always loved my parents”
