After many years, I saw the movie "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" again. I checked the Internet and it was a French comedy film from 1966. The film tells the story of a British Air Force bomber that was hit over Paris during World War II. With the help of several Paris citizens, the crew broke through the siege of the German Nazi occupation forces and successfully escaped from France.
I remember the deepest impression when I was a child was the scene where the conductor and the painter sang "Mandarin Duck Tea" to strangers in the Turkish bath, and now I still can't help laughing when I see it again. But when I was a child, I just watched the fun, and when I grew up, I realized why it looked good. First of all, it is very rare for a World War II-themed movie to be expressed through comedy techniques. In my impression, there is also a movie that embodies the war from a similar comedy. It is "Beautiful Life" made by Italians, but that movie is not a real comedy, so I finished watching it. Very sad. Secondly, from a technical point of view, each link of the film is very cleverly designed and connected very tightly, so that people don't feel like they want to urinate. Another thing I feel more deeply is the humanistic spirit embodied in the film. In the film, whether it is the help of the French to the French or the help of the French to the British, it is all out of great feelings and out of the spirit of nationalism. Everyone was against the war and supported the British Air Force, because Britain was the only country in Western Europe that was not occupied by the Nazis at that time, and Europeans, including the French, pinned their hopes on the British Air Force. This spirit of solidarity is really rare. This is what the European Union, which was later established in 1993, actually wanted to achieve. But in reality, the British and the rest of Europe are a little out of tune, and I know that. All in all, art comes from life and is higher than life, I think it should be reflected in this way.
