lubitsch movies

The name Lubitsch fits his film quite well, with a seemingly reserved humor, but at the heart of it is as cunning as an old fox. Most of his protagonists are handsome men and beautiful women, or they are graceful, or elegant and moving, and they are very deceptive. Come, or a school of polite, elegant and noble. Lubitz also always took the time to find some trouble for our poor protagonists. When they all showed their cute looks, and things seemed to be out of control, he appeared "kindly", and he was able to handle it with ease. The mess he directed by himself was easily resolved, and it was clean and beautiful without any muddy water. So everyone settled in their seats, and another story happily started.

There is a kind of condescending ridicule in Lubieqian's temperament, but it is never sour, and there is a feeling that it just scratches your heart. With a uniquely nuanced sense of humour, he keenly captures the most dramatic moments of people's encounters, so even when viewed in isolation, each shot is interesting. Of course, in addition to being interesting, there is something vaguely impressing you.

After watching three of Lubitsch's films (Touble in Paradise; Ninotchka; Shop Around the Corner), I was fascinated by him. I looked at the director's chronology and found that his films are really suitable to be translated into particularly vulgar names, such as translating Shop Around the Corner into "pen pal pretty friend", or translating Ninotchka into "love ice beauty", but it seems Playful and cute. If Chaplin offered the possibility of a taste for both the refined and the common, then Lubitsch was a genius in creating the fine art of teasing.
