Light comedy style, laugh not close

Another classic movie beyond imagination, "Escape from a Tiger's Mouth" always makes people unnaturally think of the style in the animal world, but the French do play comedy in war movies, especially when it comes to France's war in World War II. Was invaded and then disarmed and surrendered? It shows the self-joking and humorousness of the French. The 1966 film can still resist a day in comedy after more than half a century, which shows that it is full of quality.

The point of view of the film is the story of three British pilots who were shot down and forced to land in Paris and escaped from the pursuit of German soldiers. Although the story is general, the screenwriter shows the details, especially the comedy details, which are ridiculous. Of course, the laughing point is focused on the French who rescued them. On the public, the old-fashioned conductor and the greasy narcissistic painter will laugh to death. Many dialogues between them have far-reaching influence. Many comedy scenes are still being used for reference, and the ending is happy enough. The movie is a light comedy. Wind, neither has the humanity and philosophy of Jim Carrey or Xing Ye, nor is it like Chaplin's joy and sorrow, a simple film that seems to make people laugh, it is good enough.

In fact, it can be seen that many people in the war years are more tolerant towards life. The significance of comedy is not only to make people laugh, but also to be able to find the reason for the joy in the already fettered life. There are always people discussing the moment Eternity... I think everyone's life is not easy. Those that let us remember are always the moments when we laugh the happiest. So: cherish the luck of the moment, and engrave more splendor worth remembering in the future life. Those unhappy, go hell?
