    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...
