      Formalizations that do not serve life are just empty appearances.

      "My Uncle", the starting point of the title is to observe all kinds of adult world from a childlike perspective. Uncle Huluo is the window of "my" interesting life, and life should not be boring and hypocritical. Formalization that does not serve life is empty and empty. The most important prop in the whole film, the fish head fountain, the irony behind the comic laughter could not be more indifferent. People in the old city, you come and I go to the parents, the disputes and noise are also...

      talk about it

      The photography is exquisite and delicate, and the color matching is very eye-catching. With the aid of cheerful music, the whole film presents a pleasant and beautiful tone. Mr. Hulot is an intruder in the established world. He brings joy to the audience but troubles the "adult" in the play. His bizarre behavior, poor expression and full of mistakes make him seem out of tune with his environment. , so at the end of the film, Mr. Hulot always leaves. Tati takes a loving look at the world in...

      mind, life

      Movies from the 1950s are as good as modern ones. The neat and simple layout of the wealthy area, coupled with the pink tones filtered by high-grade gray, seems to be lacking in complexity. Tati directly amplifies his tiredness of modern technology in the auditory language, electric doors and shark fountains. Every turn on and off, the hustle and bustle of automated kitchens, the noise in these modern minimalist environments is the murderer of alienation, hypocrisy, greed, vanity, and...

      'My Uncle': More Than Just a Game Spirit

      Original address: http://www.qh505.com/blog/post/3984.html

      The metaphor starts with a dog. Those stray puppies on the street are dirty, they have no owner, no warm home, no life without worry about food and clothing, but wandering means freedom, they run, they play, they play, although every day Look for food in the trash, but feel free. But that pet dog lived a different life from them. It was clean, obedient, and had a rich home. When passing through the hole in the door, the pet...

      my uncle

      The story is very touching and highly watchable. When I watched the movie, I completely threw myself into the storyline

      . The joys and sorrows in the movie were the most touching, because the movie has to produce good results in a short period of time. At the same time, the power of love is also great.

      The framing of the movie is excellent, especially its close-up shots, which bring out the inner world of everyone vividly.
      This movie is full of betrayal and pain, but in...

      The only choice for the 4++ TATI Film Festival is @SFM. It is more childlike and mellow than "Play Time", and the deep criticism under the cold humor is almost impeccable. Uncle Yule's unchanging outfit and forward-leaning rigid rhythm are almost ICON, and the royal soundtrack has 100 likes: sweet yet hilarious, and the melancholy and comical play is repeated mechanically like a wood. Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in...

      Tati is really a "magician". It's the first time to see this kind of French old town combined with a cartoon-like modern house. It's so interesting. That house is really fun. The arrow is crazy, and it's even more exaggerated in the factory haha. Beautiful music. The director must have satirized the world in his eyes in this nonsensical way. This is a solid "cold...

    Movie plot

    Hulot is eccentric, often riding his bike around with his nephew   . Once, Hulot was invited to his nephew's house for a few days. It was a clean, pompous, and inhuman world: a huge living room with nowhere to sit, and a postmodern kitchen with the noise of a jet engine   . The Abbes are busy coping with the conveniences that technology brings, such as turning on fish-shaped fountains for visitors. Hulot's comfortable and down-to-earth...
