When I saw this as a child, long before I knew who Truffaut was, I found his character to be the most memorable part of the movie.I think this movie is at its best when it is dealing on a small scale, like Truffaut's wisdom and silent intensity or Dreyfuss's obsession with the shape in his psyche.
For me, it turns unbearably pompous and condescending when it moves to a larger scale, such as a thousand people thrusting their forefinger into the sky in unison, or when it descends into obligatory technical babble, such as the verbal instructions to "play a semiquaver". I don't know if the new version has scaled this stuff down, but Spielberg rarely makes a movie that I can tolerate, and I really do try every time. I will now open myself up for complete ridicule and admit that I did enjoy Hook.
