The movies I've watched recently are getting older. This one is ten years earlier than the last one, in 1942, almost eighty years from now. But he looked excited and happy. This is a humorous, intense, exciting, and climaxing war comedy film. There are not many films of the same style, and it may be that I have watched less. I think that at the point of the plot, it is a An insurmountable peak. The insurmountable reasons are summarized as follows: The first is boldness. The screenwriter and director is a German who made a movie in Hollywood. At the height of World War II, the film was anti-Nazi and anti-Hitler by name, and openly let "Hitler" appear on the camera, showing the image of the Nazis and the German army, and did not hide it at all. Do not shy away from criticizing and ridiculing, compared with Chaplin's "The Great Dictator", the latter has done corresponding treatment on the names and symbols of the satirical objects, probably because the latter was released earlier (1940), at that time The United States has not officially declared war on Germany. This film is different. When dealing with an open enemy, it is natural to have no scruples and blatant frontal bar. However, we still have to admire the courage of the creator. own homeland. Next is confidence. Or pride, the film tells the story of a group of Polish entertainers who deal with and struggle against the German invaders. The entertainers feel that they are the best performers in the Polish capital, and the objects of struggle are the elites of the German Nazis. Even Hitler himself. At the beginning of the film, the theater rehearsed the passage of satirizing Hitler's play. It can be said that there is a play in the play, and the film creator's consciousness of using his professional or work advantages to fight the enemy is revealed everywhere in the play. Warriors, scripts and performances become weapons, and the film is a high-flying battle. This battle was not only won, but also played confidently and smoothly. It was manifested in the courage, lightness, agility, and ease of the protagonists when they fought against the enemies armed to the teeth. They felt that they did not take their opponents seriously at all. , is really despising the enemy. It is not difficult to imagine how shocked and inspired the audience who stood on the anti-fascist standpoint would have been when they saw such a film at that historical juncture, and because of its comedy status, banter and ease were the main keynotes, which could dispel people's feelings of being exposed to the war. Tension, dullness and anxiety can improve the confidence to win the war, can play a good propaganda effect, and can achieve a great victory in the struggle on the literary front. I can fully feel the emotions of the film creators before and after the work: they are full of victory, full of optimism, and everything stems from the kind of pride and pride in their own profession. There's even self-deprecation, even though the protagonists are doing anti-fa The Sith is serious and has won a perfect victory, but their image is not tall at all, and the main line of the story is actually designed as "the expensive circle is very chaotic", the big star heroine cheats on Xiao Xianrou, and the husband who is also a big star fights. After turning over the vinegar jar, this pair of enemies accidentally got involved in a spy war, and then a series of laughs were detonated along with the tense war atmosphere. Then there is the subtlety of the script design. The plot is compact and interlocking, showing the creator's talent and ability to make up stories and tell stories everywhere. If you watch more old movies, you will find that the level of human storytelling is not proportional to the extension of time. Occasionally, you can find some wonderful plots from the current movies and often find the source from the old movies, or simply copy them. It's better to call it a tribute. Interestingly, in this film, the creator is also paying tribute to Shakespeare, the originator of drama, and the lines of Shakespeare are repeated again and again. The idea of war; on the other hand, every time the male protagonist recites the phrase "To be or not to be" in "Hamlet", it not only plays a finishing touch to the plot, but also makes people laugh. The structure of the story is solid, the characters are full, the plot is ups and downs, and it is a bit of absurd comedy, so the audience will not be picky about some details, such as the scene where our team members disguised themselves and went into the tiger's den to fool the Nazis at the climax at the end. , I'm afraid no one will think about the language in which a large group of Poles communicate with the Germans. Remember this creator, writer and director, Ernst Lubitsch, who was already famous in China in that era, and the Chinese of that era gave him this kind and quirky Chinese name. The translation of the Chinese name of the film is not very good. "You Escape Me Also", people's original name is "TO BE or NOT to BE".
