    A man goes to a coffee shop, and he asks the waiter for a cup of coffee without cream. After a while, the waiter ran and said: "Sorry, we have no cream today, only milk. May I give you a cup of coffee without milk?" (Zizek quoted this...

    Black Soviet works. The clever arrangement of laughing points is really beyond the times, and the multiple flavors that can be expressed through the lens, such as the materialistic society and the well-dressed Europeans, have been adjusted quite well by Lubitsch. (Let's make this evaluation first, it's a bit too dark. I didn't succeed in trying to objectively round it...

    Screenplay by Billy Wilder, directed by his master Liu Bieqian, also known as "Love the Ice Beauty". It's also a joke about the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The opening scene is the same as "The Romance of the Jade Girl" with three Soviets coming to a capitalist country. The most eye-catching slogan of the American media when the film was released was "Garbo laughed." This slogan has been circulated to this day. Garbo did laugh out loud in the movie, but it was a bit artificial and...

    Lubitsch + Wilder? It’s still easy to make money from big companies. There’s a bit of political irony and humor in the front. The love line in the back is quite abrupt and inexplicable. Except for the arrogance and arrogance of American capitalism, I don’t feel anything else. Finally, I know what the famous Garbo looks like....

    Greta Garbo’s female envoy from the Soviet Union is cold and cold, and she can also be said to be an iceberg beauty. However, the evil capitalist enemy has corrupted our worried people’s great comrades and made her laugh. It is a very sinful crime and must be sentenced to compensation. A man stayed with him for...

    BW screenwriter, "The Merry Girl" has a strong flavor, but it is much more gentle and forgiving. The Nazi salute, the three hats, and the cigarette girl made people applaud, and the lines were even more exquisite. Lubitsch not only mocked and satirized the communists, but also ruthlessly tore down the flashy veneer of capitalism. The phrase "One half of Paris is making love to the other half" really captures the romance of the French, and is so affectionate that any ideology can be left behind....

    What I saw in Huang Jianye's script analysis class, if I read it alone, I might not feel very magical, but after the teacher's analysis, I saw a lot of things I didn't see, and I felt that I still have a long road to film. It's very long, and then I love the shot and meaning of champagne defeating Russia. It's really brilliant, and the ending is precise and...

    System dispute

    Not a comedy, it's more like a political propaganda film. The West's vigilance against socialism is really innate, the slander of socialism is really complete, and the combat effectiveness of the U.S. Propaganda Department has really been leveraged since ancient times! ...It's just that we have now...

    Absence itself also has a positive presence

    The hero walks into the cafe and orders a cup of coffee without cream. The waiter responded "I'm sorry, we ran out of cream, can I give you a cup without milk?"

    In both cases, the guests drank the coffee without added anything, but this cup of pure coffee represented different without added anything...

Ninotchka quotes

  • Swana: The morning after always looks grim if you happen to be wearing last night's dress.

  • [Ninotchka is examining a map of Paris]

    Leon: Pardon me, are you an explorer?

    Ninotchka: No. I'm looking for the Eiffel Tower.

    Leon: Good heavens, is that thing lost again? Oh, are you interested in a view?

    Ninotchka: I'm interested in the Eiffel Tower from a technical standpoint.

    Leon: Technical? No, no, I'm afraid I couldn't be of much help from that angle. You see, a Parisian only goes to the tower in moments of despair to jump off.

    Ninotchka: How long does it take a man to land?

    Leon: Now isn't that too bad? The last time I jumped, I forgot to time it.
