      Know everything and know nothing

      People all over the world are tired of having a place. People always feel that they know everything, have a subjective idea about everything and think that they are always right. In their hearts, Paris is everything, even the provinces have nothing to do with them. What happens to this kind of guy in other worlds, the strange thing is that they always succeed.

      Compared with France in Hetalia, who always let others see how beautiful his clothes are, 117 is basically the same, thinking...

      A little boring

      A relatively simple funny hero film, to me, the French funny section is very fresh, nothing more. The overall style imitates the movies of the 1960s and 1970s, but there is no need for the plot to procrastinate like that. It starts to get more and more boring to see in the middle. If you have to compare with 007, even if it is an old 007 movie, the heroine is not eye-catching enough, and the male lead is not cool enough. Dala La’s humor and straightforward funnyness are the characteristics, and...

      OSS117 Cairo Spies

      One of the biggest problems with this movie is to be funny for the sake of being funny. The baggage inside is too obvious. It feels like this movie is a piece of sketches pieced together. Each piece looks very interesting. Putting it together, it feels like chewing wax. This seems to be a characteristic of French comedy films. For example, police and female soldiers have similar routines, but the themes are relatively concentrated and they are quite interesting. But the history...

      It's really politically incorrect, the white suzerain is condescending, the male stare, cheap Hollywood heroism, the smell of hard hairspray from the 1960s, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha it's like an old 60s movie It is vivid, not only ran on the United Kingdom, the United States, Russia, Egypt, Iran, but also ran on France itself, as old as the old, refreshing...

    Behind the scenes gags

    ·When the film was shot in The Kingdom of Morocco Casablanca, Habuse, a tourist attraction, was chosen, where there are many shops and residential buildings on both sides of the street. The shop will be closed on the day of the shooting, and the shopkeepers can get a certain amount of compensation. There is a shop with very obvious characteristics of the door, but the owner would rather stand at the door instead of leaving. He wanted...

    About the choreographer

    The film is adapted from a serious French detective novel, and such a serious work has been adapted into a comedy that is enough to make everyone laugh and laugh. This shows the skill of the director. In OSS-117, all the laughter came very suddenly and extremely violently. When the audience is in the cinema, they have not had time to appreciate it. It is usually a laugh that makes people laugh wildly, and almost miss the next funny...
