Laugh from start to finish

The old movie from 1942 was the happiest and funniest movie I watched at the beginning of this year. I laughed from the beginning to the end. If I put it last year, it would be the happiest one in the whole year. A group of actors made jokes about Hitler, and then all kinds of acting skills turned out to be humorous. They were really talented screenwriters. In addition to being humorous and funny, the film has the same year's work "Casablanca", which does not remember the personal grievances of the relationship between children and children, and only asks about the noble sentiments of the rise and fall of the country, although it is not as profound and romantic as "Casablanca". Looking into the future, the genius director of Quentin Quentin's "Pulp Fiction" genius director Guy Ritchie's "Two Smoking Guns" after 50 or 60 years, and the latecomer Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone", etc. It's a little less than that. It's really a link between the past and the future. Art shines brightly between generations. I wonder if Quentin watched this movie, so he also made a movie "Inglourious Basterds" to assassinate Hitler, which is unique and absurd and funny. work.

    The first time I saw it when I was a kid was the color version, and I didn't get laughed at at the time (especially the part where "Hitler" was dropped in the UK at the end). Lubitsch is ruthless when he spoofs his motherland... (The "We also need to eat food..." in the play should be the first anti-racist thought I came into contact with.)
