Everything is new and the most fun, even if you break your head and blood, you are still in high spirits.
A flying competition in the early 20th century, from London to Paris, the huge prize money attracted the brave pioneers of flying all over the world...
It is not accurate to say that the pioneers of flying are not accurate. Humans have been trying to get out of the earth since they saw the birds flying freely in the air. , and glued feathers to themselves, some jumped off a cliff with a sheet draped over them, and some tied a few big two kicks and flew across the ice...
These contestants in 1910 had a very high starting point. They already have flying machines of all sizes and shapes. The take-off posture of the aircraft is very fancy, some flutter their wings, some jump up and down, some are towed by cars, some are run with bicycles, and some are pushed by humans...
We can't call them pilots, they don't necessarily always It can fly to the sky every time, but it can definitely land, and the landing posture and landing point are also renovated, and sometimes it is hung on a tree (the greenery was really good at that time, there were big trees everywhere, and every branch was strong enough to hang the plane. ), sometimes stuck in the sand (fortunately, it doesn’t fly high, and usually only falls halfway), so the organizers deliberately set the venue on the edge of a huge sewage pool, and falling into the water is always softer than hard ground. Point, although smelly point.
If they go to the sky, they are also very busy, they have to wave to the girls below, they need to drive away the birds that fell on the wings to watch the fun, and they have to catch the broken wind pole...
The biggest problem of international competitions is that they will attract a lot of foreign countries. People, in addition to the bonuses, there are also national honors to fan the flames. Young men and uncles from all over the world have fought hard, and they must be forced to go into battle even if they know they can't do it.
For example, the Germans, their pilots have all been heroic and can fly, but the Germans believe that they are omnipotent, so they come to the competition with this operation manual. Open the manual and read: The first step, sit down.
The British think they have conquered the sea, and the sky is none other than the British Empire. They sent two contestants, one specializing in smashing stones, and the pieces fell on their feet; the other sticking to gentlemanly manners and strict schedules. The reason for his delay in proposing marriage to his girlfriend's father is actually: "I'm afraid I can't find a space to live a married life. I want to be a soldier during the day, and I'm very busy at night. There is a dinner on Monday, bridge on Tuesday, and billiards on Wednesday. Going to the bar on Thursday, flying on the weekend...I'm willing to give up playing cards and marry her." Dad said, "Oh, no, we can't spoil them, it seems that you take my daughter seriously, I'm so glad."
At this time, the reckless and enthusiastic American western cowboy has an opportunity, but every time he saves the heroine, he always steps on other people's skirts by the way, so that the heroine grabs her skirt when she sees him.
In addition to not letting go of every beautiful girl, the French do not let go of the opportunity to play tricks on the Germans. The German-French duel was very aviation-specific. Each took a hot air balloon to shoot each other with shotguns. The French shot very accurately and shot down an Italian plane with one shot. The Germans' marksmanship was very poor, and they missed the French hot air balloon while swaying from side to side. The Germans were happy and excited...the tip of their hat pierced their own hot air balloon.
The most mysterious one is the Japanese. When he landed on the field, everyone was stunned. Japan is 10,000 miles away from here. What is more than a few dozen miles for others? The reporters rushed forward to interview, and the Japanese were very proud: I took the train to Yokohama first, then took the boat to Vladivostok, took the train to cross Siberia to Paris, took the sea ship to cross the strait, and flew all the way... 4 miles Woolen cloth.
This play was filmed more than 40 years ago, and the comedy rhythm is so well-controlled that even if it is remade, it may not be surpassed. Five star recommendation.
