      Tiger's Mouth Escape and Hands Up

      Hands up is a movie I liked to watch very much when I was a child. It was our sixth grade. It was our first computer class. The teacher showed us this movie. The whole class laughed and laughed. The most memorable one Is Guo Da holding the pot to block the bullet?? Compared with this movie, it is also a war movie, and it also weakens the enemy's IQ. There are also some bugs, but it is undeniable that both movies are very exciting, but just because one is made in China, the score gap Just...

      This is just a movie review

      This movie was shown to me by my father. I thought it was not good at first, but later I thought it was funny and beautiful.

      The French are very good at laughing at war. They express their disgust for war by smearing the enemy. This can also be learned from Chinese movies. Don't keep recalling the pain of war. Let’s talk about sleeping and sleeping is the right thing for East China Jiaotong University to answer the phone, good good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good,...

      a comedy film textbook

      A warm comedy film, many classic scenes are still imitated, the whole film is full of the wisdom of the director, and the events one after another make the film full of fun.
      The background of the film is France during World War II. At this time, France has fallen, the country is controlled by Germany, and the people are forced to accept German rule. In order to protect themselves, most of them choose to live peacefully with the Germans, but they still want to expel the Germans from France....

      European version of God of War

      To be honest, I should have watched this movie a few times in

      theory. Why is it theoretical, because in my impression, it was probably when I was in elementary school, and Channel 6 would play this movie from time to time every Saturday, or the starring Louis A comedy film by De Fines.

      It was said that I had seen it, but the specific movie details had long been forgotten, so on a boring Sunday night, I re-watched


      the storyline again, that is, a few Frenchmen...

      Tiger escape

      At the end of the film, two red gliders fly away from what was then Nazi-occupied France. On board were three British pilots, a nun, a painter, and a conductor. They follow the wind to free mountains and fields of wheat.

      The handsome and handsome British pilot couldn't contain his excitement after regaining his freedom. "Can you? Mammy." He turned his head and kissed the nun beside him.

      Everything is so beautiful.

      How...

      Overall, a little disappointed. From the perspective of photography, the picture is impeccable; from the arrangement of the plot, many contradictions and coincidences can be regarded as a classic; its French character portrayal is also a highlight. It is a pity that the key conflict points of the convergence did not achieve perfect performance, so that "comedy" stayed at the level of "witty" and failed to further sublime. ps The French director's pursuit of scenes is really full of...

      The play is actually not compact enough, but the design of the jokes is very advanced, and various high-end blacks under the cultural differences of various countries; Turkish bathhouse, Paris sewers, German wine cellar with French wine barrels, these three scenes made me laugh to death. PS pot friends, have you let go of the...
