looking for Antoine Doinel

After watching "Love on the Run" with Judith, we Walked under the Snow at the video store... to pick up more Truffaut movies, no kidding. We were then wondering where all the Romance went... We or at least I want to meet Antoine Doinel. Antoine Doinel, a Man that Suprises Women, act in Unexpected Ways, Hop a Train to meet Colette. Antoine Doinel is the Eternal Romantic Figure. He is Convincing because he is Convinced. Antoine Doinel doesn't wait and Act Instinctively. He does therefore get this extraordinary Sense of Timing. The Man is in Touch with Himself. He listens to his Urges and Impulses not because He wants to but because He has to. Antoine Doinel never gives up whenever He loves a Woman. He is Sincere, Foolish, Vulnerable, Capricious, Moving cause of the Child that's never left him... Antoine Doinel Courts his Woman Endlessly, Writes her Letters because Love is as Important as Air. If not Expressed, there is no Possible Life. Mediocrity is not an Option. For Antoine Doinel, there might be no Tomorrow. Judith and I realized that, back in our "European days", having "Truffaut fights style" with our Euro Exes were an O.K. Thing. Drama was permitted back then. You weren't Hysterical just because you were acting Impulsively or because Angry. We both feel Nostalgic and denounce this Whatever Archetype we live in. I love Antoine Doinel because he is the Antagonist of that. For Antoine Doinel every Detail is Significant. Love is not to be taken Lightly. Love is the Essence. Antoine Doinel could be any Man. He has a Fucked up Childhood, lots of Flaws, has what's Considered an Average Job... Nothing about him is Heroic but its Idealistic Views of Love. Antoine Doinel, my Hero, where are Thou?
