Just watched this great film again and noticed a little ironic, future reference to Fahrenheit 451 when Oscar Werner, as Jules, says, "Now they're burning books," referring to the rise of the Nazis, yet also referring to the Truffaut film of four years in the future when he would play Montag, a fireman who burns books.
shareThe closing sequence where Jules goes thr the deserted cemetery, all alone, is awesome. IMO, it was a most sinister reference to the approaching war.
And the cremation scene, - in the same context, makes you shiver...
Listen to your enemy, for God is talking
Truffaut was very passionate about books, so that could explain this reference to his future output. Never thought about it like this though, but it makes for a nice little irony.
You said, "I love you," I said, "Wait"
I was going to say, "Take me," you said, "Go away"
