"NOT TOO BAD!"

I had a little fever last night, which didn't affect watching the movie. I
watched "Six Heroes of the Light Pig" again , which I watched with the students.
A good movie should meet several criteria:
truthfulness, accuracy, and subtlety.

British comedy is never an escape from reality.
All the jokes are not funny and funny, but come from awkward life and absurd circumstances.
The low-level jokes can be picked up alone, but the high-level jokes are:
only happen in a certain situation, in a certain person, at certain moments.

In the third scene, the actor, his best friend, and his son
stole a few rusty steel bars from the bankrupt factory.
They stood on the roof of a car in a pond, relying on the steel bars. Build a bridge to escape over.
But the steel bar fell to the bottom of the pond, and they were helpless.
Finally a passerby came, an old dog walking, and asked them: "Are you okay?" The
buddy shrugged and said, "Not too bad!" The
next shot, the panoramic view, they stood helplessly in the water. Roof.
In the next shot, they were walking down the road wet.

If it is an American movie, they will definitely be shot on the left and right on the roof of the car, and they will enter the water in an infinite embarrassment.
But British movies won't. He filmed the embarrassing situation of a poor brother,
and in this situation, he was still trying to save face, shrugging his shoulders and saying: "Not too bad!"

This is the difference between funny and embarrassing.
This is the subtlety, measure, and wisdom of the British.
This is British cinema.

I love British movies.
