Liu Bieqian is accustomed to writing about handsome men and women with elegant clothes and elegant clothes. He has the unrevealed emotional eyes in the silent film. In the era of sound films, he can still achieve succession and transformation. Billy Wilder, who has worked as a screenwriter for him and regarded him as a life idol, has gone further in speech. Although his frank and lively lines are no longer subtle and fascinating, there are frequent witty words. , There is another kind of clever interest. All of them are full of entertainment, one is a clever scene, and the other is a scene made by a clever man. In Liu Bieqian's films, the upper-class people who have just appeared on the stage are always in a mess and difficult to get out of. The protagonist of the latter seems to be a wicked dumb and declining Taoist, but often has the ability to turn things around.

Although Liu Bieqian remakes Wilde's novels, in fact, the two people only have in common in their wit and charming temperament. His gentle, honest and unhurried attitude is fully reflected in each work, like a flower mixed with delicate cream and cinnamon fragrance. Style mocha. Billy Wilder also likes to write about the protagonist who is hard to judge, but he definitely promotes good and discards evil and distinguishes good from evil. He writes about the dark side of human nature with sharp and sharp, and always reveals cute and smart bad energy, just like the mellow and slightly sour Mandheling. . Sefton can be used as a microcosm of Billy Wilder's style. This guy in the POW camp has not played the appearance of a mainstream hero like Steve McQueen in two famous prison escape movies, nor is it a subversive image of the three kings of prison escape. In postmodern Odysseus, he drifted away from the prisoner of war group as a black sheep outsider, earning his own money and privately trading with the German army, thinking that escaping from prison is meaningless behavior, which is not so sophisticated but insists. Take care of yourself. Billy Wilder does not establish the image of a lonely hero in the escape style, does not emphasize the yearning for freedom in the blood behind bars, nor does he describe the cultural opposition in Mr. Lawrence Merry Christmas. At the end of the film, Sefton escorted his private enemy away, while fleeing the prisoner-of-war camp. , It's just that the isolation of position and behavior has turned into moral and spiritual loneliness.

As an excellent "comedy" film that is cold and joyful, the film has a lot of jokes, from tolling telescopes to rat races, and it is hilarious. The phrase "I believe it" has been sprayed time and time again. However, to select the best lines, it is likely that you will not have the relieved "If I ever run into any of you on a street corner, let's pretend we never met before", but:

"Don't bother. I never liked you and I never will."
"Many people say that and then they get married."

There were two other affectionate dances at the party before, and it turns out that straight men are the most rot. The lethal XDD

p.s. Four years later, when Holden played the Bridge on the River Kwai again, he turned into an escapeist vanguard.

    Light ropes and chess pieces. The alarm clock that goes to work happily. Where there are people, there is business. The prison camp is also similar to the theme of King Rat.

    During World War II, Americans' attitudes toward Nazis and Germans were surprisingly humorous. Even in POW conditions, life went on and people needed laughter. Billy Wilder made this scene into an unusually good movie. It should be recognized that until the end of the war, and we saw films about concentration camps, the extent of the Nazi terror in Europe was not known. William Holden plays Sergeant Sefton, whose amoral cynicism and talent for cheap scams allowed him to feed himself even as a prisoner of war. Starger 17 has been widely imitated, and Roberto Benigni's Life is Beautiful, also finds humor in horror, but of a different kind. Like Ionesco's Rhino, Benny's films come from the Absurdist theater, not the Broadway stage. A jarring mix of comedy and dramatic elements that has an impact on our psyche because life is, in a way, very real, full of tragedy and laughs.

    [to Hoffy]

    Sefton: And you, the barracks chief, gave them the green light. That's how come. What are you guys trying to prove, anyway? Cuttin' trap doors, digging tunnels.

    Duke: Listen, Sefton...

    Sefton: You listen to me! What do you think the chances are of gettin' out of here? And let's say you make it to Switzerland. Let's say to the States. So what? They ship you out to the Pacific, slap you in another plane, and you get shot down again. Only this time you wind up in a Japanese prison camp. That is if you're lucky. Well, I'm no escape artist. Cigar, Cookie. You can be the heroes, the guys with fruit salad on your chest. Me, I'm stayin' put. And I'm gonna make myself as comfortable as I can.

    Duke: [Sefton lights a match on his jacket sleeve] Why, you crud. This war's gonna be over someday. Then what you do you think we'll do to Kraut-kissers like you?
