Together with the original version, it can be used as a teaching example of comedy movies

Compared with the original version, I just want to give two stars, but the subject matter is ok. There is also a comedian who barely gives three stars. The level of the director is really stretched, and even a poor student is not as good as a copy. I can’t copy it. Can a comedian be able to play a good comedy role? It's really a bad batch. Take the interview process as an example. The original two jokes can make people feel like they like black people, and they also give a day to think. The version just scolded the boss for a few words, and decided to hire it on the spot. It was a vulgar love story at first sight between a domineering president and a girl next door. I fell in love with my housekeeper. I don’t think it’s out of reach, but I’m caught off guard. Finally, to sum up, the original joke is a classic comedy technique that relies on the mismatch between black identity and high-class environment, and the emotional rendering is more in place. The American version just wants to single Relying on Hart to be funny to make everyone laugh, it's a very low-level way, but the actor's talent is not brought into play, and the laugh is not funny at all, and Hart's expression always feels unnatural, on the one hand, he wants to be funny, on the other hand. It always feels like bitterness and hatred, but the original version shows a delicate side of emotions under the casual appearance of the little gangster, and in the collision of the thoughts and behaviors of the bottom and the top, people can understand and laugh, and the smile is very natural. Instead of making a play, and fully showing the true emotions of the two people, the American version is like keeping a running account. The director was in a hurry to get off work, and after filming, he went home to find the little secret!
