The films advance as trains, you know? Like trains in the night.
Truffaut: Films are like trains
Je sais, il y a la vie privée, mais la vie privée, elle est boiteuse pour tout le monde. Les films sont plus harmonieux que la vie, Alphonse. Il n’y a pas d’embouteillages dans les films, il n’y a pas de temps morts. Les films avancent comme des trains, tu comprends? Comme des trains dans la nuit. Les gens comme toi, comme moi, tu le sais bien, on est fait pour être heureux dans le travail de cinéma.
Ferrand (François) Truffaut
La Nuit américaine
I know there is privacy, but privacy, it is lame for everyone. The films are more harmonious than life, Alphonse. There are no traffic jams in the movies, there is no downtime. The films advance as trains, you know? Like trains in the night. People like you, like me, you know, are made to be happy in the work of cinema.
Ferrand (François) Truffaut

It is easy to share the page since there are share buttons for all the major social media platforms! I don’t really know how the translation application could help since the majority of the posts are already in English!
