A classic French comedy film set against the backdrop of World War II. The bandleader meets the stucco, the antithesis between the Germans in France and the English. A comedy film full of class contradictions and cultures of various countries.
From the standpoint of comedy alone, looking at the movie "Raise Your Hands", which is called the Chinese version of "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", it is really not as good as others. The comedy in Escape from the Tiger's Mouth is still a classic and still very advanced. Coupled with the perfect dubbing of the Shanghai Translation Factory, it can be called a real comedy compared to the current comedy. There are many contradictions in the film, from the failure of the "Mandarin Duck Bath" plan to the different dreams of the painter and the bandleader and the German officer, to the women's clothes of McIntosh. Finally, the glider is "blown back", and the cockfight with the wrong barrel was wrongly directed at first. The eye mistakenly hit his own reconnaissance plane again, and finally the six people escaped from the tiger's mouth smoothly. The whole film is full of contradictions and surprises.
In other respects, the conductor of the band and the painter can understand English without speaking. The talented painter fell in love with the little girl in the puppet theatre troupe. The little girl pretended to be his wife to save the painter's life. The painter said with a smile "No way," said the girl, the war was not over yet. He asked the girl, do you really want me to wait until the victory? The girl said, I want you to go to sleep, really go to sleep. The girl kissed the painter, and the painter returned to the room happily. Ah, is this French romance?
The bandleader bullied the painter everywhere on the way, but the painter did not get too angry but saved the bandleader twice. The contradiction between classes was transformed into a bridge that made the audience laugh. The Germans partyed with the little girls of the puppet theater, celebrated birthdays, and played horse-riding games, revealing that France, as a German-occupied region, was not classified as an inferior nation because of World War II, and Germany's racial awareness is evident. Throughout the whole film, there is no particularly obvious discrimination against women, and the Germans can also have fun with the people. From the first part of the film, the Germans enter the hostess's house and help the hostess move the boxes without complaint. It can be seen that the Germans do not. Abusive tendencies towards German-occupied France. After the colonel understood that the bandleader had a connection with the British Air Force, he handed it over to the relevant departments, which showed the Germans' ethics and respect for the people in the occupied areas, which was completely different on the Sino-Japanese battlefield. Of course, this also makes Chinese people have such a profound understanding of such a European comedy film after comparing "Raise Your Hands".
The film uses class contradictions, racial contradictions, etc. to create conflicts and create a comedy atmosphere, and it is ridiculed in dialogues again and again. On the one hand, it uses a tense atmosphere to highlight the cruelty of the war. On the other hand, it uses the characteristics of comedy and the whole film to see no one The footage of death shows the proclamation of peace, soothing the hearts of people with romance and joy.
