** Sadly, after his movie ''Film/{{Playtime}}'' almost ruined him, Tati did end up writing a few more personal scripts that were a lot more depressing. One was called ''Confusion'' which ended with ''killing'' his most famous character, Mr. Hulot. The other script ''The Illusionist'' was eventually made [[WesternAnimation/TheIllusionist into an animated film by]] [[Creator/SylvainChomet]].

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: His films are feel-good movies and are more on the idealistic end of the scale.
