Visual Style in "The 400 Blows"
One of the scenes in The 400 Blows that had interesting visual style was the scene in which Antoine was alone in the small jail cell, and the viewers could see the rest of the jail from Antoine's point of view. This showed interesting visual style because we could see things as Antoine saw them. That gives us a way to identify with Antoine a little bit. A similar shot to this was when Antoine was in the back of the police truck. We got a view of the Parisian night life, again, from Antoine's point of view. This shows that solitary aspect of Antoine's life. He was constantly alone, and for a moment, we as viewers, get to share that solitude with Antoine.

This is a very insightful post. You make good use of a film element (point of view, camera shot) to reflect on character and themes in the movie. Mimi
