pickpocket is a very fascinating film.
in a modern world where people say "everyone is good at something"
allot of people don't acknowledge the individuals who are good at things that are deemed bad by society.i phrase that like its not, it is but our main character michel has the impulse to do that. that impulse and need to pickpocket people is the fact he's very good at it.
everytime michel pickpockets someone its shown like this elegant and precise movement.
even when michel tells jeanne that he's gonna help her take care of her baby, he ultimately goes back to his ways which gets him in jail.michel is a strange yet tragic character who sits in the middle of everyone where he's not specifically a bad person, he's just has a bad impulse, he's just to good.
