You run away and I run away (1942)
9.2
1942 / USA / Comedy Love War / Ernst Lubitsch / Carlo Lombard Jack Benny

I'm really dying of laughter, hahaha

From the theater to the theater.

Every time maybe Tula read the dialogue, To be or not to be, looking at the man who stood up from the audience, everything seemed to be back to the beginning, it really shouldn't be too funny here. And the man got up to meet his wife

The middle segment started endless dramatic effects. Before, a group of people like them were just performing plays in the theater, but to a certain extent, they were only performing, and once they participated in real life, they pretended to be enemies. Fang's identity as a soldier, to defend the family and the country, no acting, no mistakes are allowed, and thrilling things are happening one after another.

Skooze is really a scapegoat, and he is the one who bears the blame for everything. It's too difficult for him.

The final ending is like returning to the original beginning, but too many things happened in the middle.

    To Be or Not to Be, To Be or Not to Be, directed by Liu Bieqian, a black-and-white film from 1942, a textbook masterpiece, tells you how a theater company fooled the Third Reich in its own way, and how justice bullied evil. With a blink of an eye, the old hen turns into a duck. Every minute spent in this movie is worth it, because it is full of magical reversals and juggling carnivals. ——Parrot Shihang

    High comedy. An encyclopedia of comedy, an actor's self-cultivation book. Lubitsch is so awesome.
