Film Review of "The Last Subway"

Grango in the film is tall, upright, humorous, impulsive, and passionate. As an actor, he not only has superb acting skills, but also has connections with the underground resistance organization. He even modified the theater's tape recorder and loaned it to his companions in the underground resistance organization to load explosives to carry out the assassination of the Nazis. Through this image, the French people's resistance and anti-war ideas are expressed, and the power of justice is added to the film.
Marianne's husband, Lucas Steiner, a Jew, has been living in the cellar throughout the film. He listened to his wife telling himself about the rehearsal every night. Later, he dug a hole in a corner of the stage and a pipe went into the cellar so that he could know the situation of the rehearsal. He carefully recorded detailed notes based on the performances of the actors on the stage, and then guided his wife to make changes. He is an out-and-out typical artist who persistently pursues performing arts. However, he cannot protect himself. The description of the film reflects the hatred of war. The film once again pointed the finger at the Nazis and silently denounced the crimes of fascism.
Other characters in the film are also superbly portrayed, like the theater manager Raymond and the cute kid who grows fireworks. The short and fat Raymond lived a very humorous life. Finally, riding a bicycle to generate electricity to ensure the power supply of the theater and make the theater open as usual.
The visual effect of the film is worth mentioning. Because it is a movie-in-the-play structure, the gorgeous scenes in the theater, the actors’ various shapes, especially the heroine’s bright red evening dress, and the large purple-red dress. The curtains are always closed, the moving stage, luxurious guest seats, etc., all create an accurate and perfect atmosphere for the film's interpretation of the romantic life of the French, and lay the foundation for the display of the character's personality.

    The quality of the high-definition videos on the Internet is very good, and the subtitles themselves are smooth. To be honest, I think the film is a bit long, and I don’t think the chemistry between the male and female protagonists is enough. However, the story is about the entanglement of totalitarian oppression, drama, and triangular love. The plot is very interesting, and the ending is also very moving.

    The warm colors are really intoxicating, and the ending is wonderful XD [I hate big noses, hum!

The Last Metro quotes

  • Daxiat: This may sound strange coming from me, but I think your husband, Lucas Steiner, was wrong to leave France. The new anti-Israelite theater laws apply to spectators and profiteers. But your husband, Mme. Steiner, was a gem. He was the only Israelite theater director...

    Marion Steiner: You may say 'Jewish'.

    Daxiat: Yes. He was the only one to be a leader, stage director and an artist. You see, the Germans are deeply attached to culture. They don't want talented artists to leave France.

  • Raymond Boursier: [Yelling at Nadine as she gets out of a Nazi jeep] Not only are you late, you showed up with the Jerries. Jean-Loup will be pissed.

    Nadine Marsac: What do you want? I was at a dubbing session. We worked late. They offered me a ride.

    Raymond Boursier: Nothing stops you, If they had offered you a part in 'Jew Süss' you'd have taken it.

    Nadine Marsac: And how! But they didn't have a role for a French girl.
