precise comedy

This is an accurate comedy. From the beginning of the film, the design of every second of sending the wrong body to the beginning seems to pave the way for the later laughs, and this foreshadowing paragraph will not bring a lot of laughs, but it is usually very good. Funny, you will find it interesting, with the mood of looking forward to the laughs later, this mood is a bit like watching a suspense movie, very catchy. Unlike the French, who often use close-ups of faces with some strange dialogues, these dialogues are mostly neurotic expressions to create an atmosphere. But this atmosphere often makes me feel like I want to pull away.

Forget who said it, British films are full of British self-deprecation. Especially comedies. You will think, how could he make fun of himself like this, how dare he. Because the British are gentlemen, a little tight. They will use their own way, in turn, ridicule their tightness. So many bridges have reached a point of laughter that only the British can do. The brother-in-law who ingested psychedelic drugs and stood naked on the roof, the older brother who was jealous of his younger brother, the lover of his father (and how he died). . . . Therefore, you will see a group of outward looking gentlemen and panic-stricken madmen, who are organizing another funeral that wants to escape the attention of the public, so there are many unintentionally confused and embarrassing situations, which creates a contrast with the solemn funeral. This kind of joke is mostly a series, such as the coffin is overturned, the body is turned over at the feet of the mother, such as organizing manpower to deal with the uninvited guests at the funeral.

After a series of madness, there is finally a love affair at the end of each line. This probably also contains the British people's deconstruction of themselves. They are gentlemen, yes, but they are ordinary people, they also have emotions, they can do some outrageous and immoral things, they can panic, they can also be jealous, and they can also go crazy. , All this will eventually return to a starting point, a person with good nature will do it, for either family, or love, or friendship, this kind of love is just right, after crying, you will feel, fool, I why cry? After crying, my heart will be sweet again.
