    The simple repetition of lines can produce such a stunning effect! The phrase "There was once a love in front of me..." in "Journey to the West" should be forgotten by no one. Similarly, in many scenes in this film, the same lines appear repeatedly, and each time contains a different meaning, which is hilarious. If you read "Hamlet" and "The Merchant of Venice" while watching the movie, the fun will no doubt be multiplied - a lot of the lines are taken directly from these two...

    Hahaha, the comedy during World War II was also super interesting. Although it was a bit ugly to the Nazis of the hostile country, the jokes were well grasped. The rhythm of the whole movie was tense and exciting, and the last joke at the end was quite interesting. If this is a remake, it is estimated that it will become a shameless bastard + escape from the tiger's mouth. The old movie is really...

    A group of actors scrambled into the political world, causing chaos and turmoil. All kinds of thrilling and suspenseful moments, even all of them are trying to save themselves from danger. The funny burdens are one after the other, all of which are relatively subtle and worth savoring. They are the kind that are relatively clever. At the end, the heroine's husband, the pilot, looked at the stunned look of the other man when he left the stage in the middle of his lines, but it made me very...

    After the outbreak of the Soviet-German war in 1941, Nazi Germany occupied the whole of Poland. A comedy film about the salvation of Polish troupes under the Nazis was released the following year. The troupe plays Nazis ("serious realist drama" :P) and the Nazis come to Warsaw in the film. Multiple role-playing, inside and outside play. Maria is really famous for changing her face in front of her husband's lover's enemies. Don't want "the country is ruined by stupid actors" :P. Battlefield...

    I like to use "ingenious" to describe a good movie in my eyes, but when this word is applied to this film, it seems pale. So playful, fluid, self-contained, full of fun and irony, so independent that Ernst Lubitsch did it in...

    Having seen the remake in 1983 and re-watching the 61 edition, it shows Lubitsch's unique...

    “In order to maintain the delicate balance of nature, God will compensate the defeated country with artistic talent. This is the case in Germany after 1918. Berlin before Hitler came to power was full of genius. In this short Renaissance era, Germany and the surrounding countries have The Jews infused or expressed a certain spirit in Berlin for the best of times. Lubitsch is a good example of this, his satirical touches on major issues of the age, and his films are full of wit that particularly...

    Lubitsch and Carole Lambard. Comedy and tragedy coexist, tension and joy coexist, the rhythm is very tight, and the plot has several twists and turns. The beginning of the film is intriguing, taking a "play within a play" movie to the extreme, and it's a well-crafted story. Lambard died in a plane crash at the age of 33, leaving her then-husband, Clark Gable, devastated. After Gable died, the tombstone was placed next to his...

    From passive to active

    In the early silent film era, due to technical limitations, the sound and picture in the film could not be synchronized. It is for this reason that silent films entered another road where the narrative was completely dominated by the picture without the addition of sound. At that time, many...

    The Golden Age of Hollywood Cinema, Lubitsch, and Shakespeare Elements

    Clicking in for the 9.2 rating and the word "comedy".

    Originally I just wanted to laugh like an idiot, but after reading it, not only did I laugh like an idiot, but I was shocked.

    Although this is a black-and-white film released in 1942, his shooting technique, script, and actor setting are extremely...

To Be or Not to Be quotes

  • Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: The other night Professor Siletsky was addressing us at the camp and I mentioned the name of Maria Tura. And he never heard of her!

    Gen. Armstrong: Neither have I.

    Lieutenant Stanislav Sobinski: He's supposed to be a Pole who lived in Warsaw and she's the most famous actress in Warsaw.

    Gen. Armstrong: Now, look here, young man, there's lots of people not interested in the theater. As a matter of fact, there's only one actress I ever heard of and I certainly hope I'll never hear from her again.

  • Professor Alexander Siletsky: As a matter of fact, I'm not responsible for your being brought here at all. There's a charming young man in England - gave me a message for you. A rather strange message: "To be or not to be." You, no doubt, know it's deeper meaning?

    Maria Tura: Yes, I have a vague idea.
