20
Q

how does lucien behave around his colleagues

A

he copies them, like ruining the boys boat, he is a follower

21
Q

how does Lucien behave when he brings the campagne?

A

He is over disorderly
and boisterous
He intrudes without fear

22
Q

there are two occasions where people don’t believe he is with the police, what does this suggest

A

that, he doesn’t impose himself, maybe shows also that there was a stigma attached to them which Lucien didn’t embody so feels he has to overcompensate with malicious and assertive behaviour

23
Q

when Lucien goes into all these houses, he makes himself at home, perhaps doesn’t know boundaries,

A

he does a lot of peeping and spying

24
Q

doesn’t know what he’s preaching, blinded by the trouble they’re causing, he’s fighting for something he doesn’t understand

A

Lacombe enters the house after his chief is shot at an untimely hour

25
Q

at heart

A

perhaps lucien is kind, buys champagne, flowers for the widow

26
Q

lots of staring between

A

France’s father, Albert and Lucien

27
Q

contrasts in music

A

between Albert’s house and the german hotel

28
Q

Who does Lucien try to control at the hotel?

A

France, tries to take her home early

29
Q

how many jews were deported during German occupation

A

76,000

30
Q

what period was the film made and filmed in

A

a period when people started to once again confront the truths of the vichy regime, explains a lot about the content of the film

31
Q

‘sheer thoughtlessness’

A

Arendt said this

32
Q

How does Malle make it difficult to answer whether Lucien is evil?

A

He constantly counters actions that lucien makes, he makes Lucien seem ambiguous and on occasions seem compassionate

33
Q

Does lucien ever stop to reflect?

A

Yes, when he sees France in the line

Yes when he tries on the suit and looks at himself in the mirror

34
Q

‘the screen play is assured, but minimal’

A

Schneider, he also adds both the actor and the character of Lucien wonder though “with a lack of bearing”- we are drawn into this, it makes judging Lucien all the more difficult

35
Q

what does the ending suggest

A

the tranquility of the scenery combined with the music contrasts subtly with the news that Lucien was tried and we are left in the same position we started in, with regard to Lucien.

36
Q

sadism

A

Lucien gets pleasure from inflicting pain on others, inferior beings

37
Q

How does Malle leaves viewers

A

we are not sure whether Malle actually condemns lucien’s actions, the beauty lies once again in the art of suggestion

38
Q

How doe we see Lucien is power and money driven

A

He hear’s that his comrade once had a very rich and beautiful girl friend and immediately goes to stop France from dancing with another man

39
Q

Is Lucien a impulsive thinker

A

yes he does not use his words, feels he has a reputation to uphold and perhaps consequently feels the need to assert his new found power and authority

40
Q

example of hatred to jews

A

Later has a breakdown when she sees that Lucien is sleeping with une ‘salle juive’

41
Q

Lucien doesn’t really have a base

A

he flirts between homes et.c and we often get a picture of him walking though the streets, with purpose?

42
Q

what does the mother say to Albert when she comes to visit?

A

that he is not evil

perhaps he can reason with him

43
Q

Is he generous

A

Gives his mum money to take away, perhaps he sees this life as a lucrative option

44
Q

example of disrespect towards albert

A

‘pourquoi me tutoyez-vous?’

45
Q

Perhaps Lucien is simply thoughtless

A

he ignores several signs, from his mother, from albert, his friends die. The fact that Louis Malle keeps him alive is almost as bad as killing him, he comes to see the destruction from both points of view

46
Q

Corruption inside the police

A

Lucien steels a watch from France’s case, the other soldier takes it off him though?
