      I still remember that during the entertainment time, the heroine played the piano, which suddenly made the noisy atmosphere classical.

      In this film, the public space on the first floor of the Hôtel de la Plage was originally silent, but Mr. Hulot suddenly played a jazz record, which also changed the atmosphere of the space. His outdated diesel-blasting 1924 Salmon Amilcar3, American "peeping", folding boat-loaded shark...

      Excerpt from Bazin "Mr. Hulot and Time"

      From: Bazin "Mr. Hulot and Time", translated by Cui Junyan

      However, if we wish to start the analysis from the character, then we will immediately see that, unlike the improvised comedy tradition that has been carried on through the burlesque comedy, the character's Uniqueness lies in a certain incompleteness of it. The protagonist of an improv comedy represents the nature of a comedy, and the role of the character is distinct and consistent. On the contrary, M. Hulot seems to be...

      Analyzing Jacques Tati from the Perspective of Face

      From the point of view of appearance, Jacques Tati, 1.9 meters tall, with a full heaven, a face with a Chinese character, and the appearance of an emperor, can infer that he is a genius full of energy, has a strong desire to control, and has a different laugh. .

      Ridiculous comedy seems to focus on the subtleties of body and daily life, and as a comical comedy wizard, Mr. Hulot, created by Jacques Tati, is just like himself. Very funny. Mr. Hulot, in...

      André Bazin, "Mr. Hulot and Time"

      "What is Cinema?" French cinema has a bit of comedic genius, and it's just a cliché to point out. At least thirty years. Because it should be pointed out that the school of burlesque comedy originated in France at the beginning of this century, Max Linder became its representative, and Mack Sennett moved the performance program of this school to Hollywood. In Hollywood, comedy blossomed especially brightly, producing actors like Harold Lloyd, Harry Langdon, Buster Keaton, Stan Laurel &...

      Mr. Hulot's holiday

      Three and a half. A leisurely vacation, but the people around him don't seem to be so leisurely. He has to listen to the bell for dinner, go to sleep after the broadcast, and businessmen who keep calling and keeping an eye on stocks. However, Mr. Hulot interspersed in it, shy and polite, enthusiastic and brave, sometimes a troublemaker, sometimes a comedy observer, a door that always made a monotonous noise, a boss who saw meat cuts, a waiter who troubled the footprints on the ground, The...

      If you look at this as a comedy, it seems a bit outdated, and there are not as many laughs as you think. In my opinion, the film's greatest contribution is to create a character who is free from the so-called normal...

      Full marks! Laughed from the beginning to the end, but sad at the end! French Chaplin! Brick Manuel! Black and white tati is really good! Great brain! The car listens to the back of the jazz paint bucket, the shark boat tire turns into a wreath, the children buy ice cream, and there is a colorful postmark on the cute freeze frame at the end of the...

    Evaluation action

    The film is not a hilarious comedy, but a mood of memory, nostalgia, love and joy. There are places in the movie that make you laugh, but it brings something rarer, a humorous, tender love of humanity—so strange, so important, so special. The film is built on Keaton or Chaplin's meticulous attention to detail, and the visual jokes are patiently arranged to almost reveal the hidden functions of the cosmic intricate machine.  .
