PLAY TIME IS GOING ON IN TODAY'S CHINA

Still not happy, even though it's a comedy.

The ending part treats the city's turntable as a merry-go-round, and the glass tilts to match the people in the car, like a pirate ship. It seems that the director is still very fond of the living atmosphere of the Americans, and by the way criticizes the French themselves.

The first half was in the cold office, and the two of them were so close to each other that they could never see each other. The chaos and disorder in the restaurant part reminded me of the live broadcast of the Olympic Games in Pangu Grand View, interviewing the former equestrian athlete Princess Jordan, the security department and the foreign affairs department are careful, because only one of the two elevators has been renovated, and the other one is still in use. Before the interior was installed, the civil servants certainly hoped that the elevator that the princess waited for was the elevator with the interior decoration. Unfortunately, it backfired. The elevator that the princess went downstairs was the one that was not decorated.

The other rented office is in another one. At 3:00 in the middle of the night, accompanied by a New Zealand photographer, I climbed the stairs that were still in concrete (no handrails, almost suspended) to get the ink cartridges for the printer, saying that Bill Gates spent Pangu’s courtyard house was rented for 100 million US dollars. Both I and foreign reporters are very sure that this is fake news, but an unscrupulous game played by real estate businessmen. Everything is so magical. Seven years later, I learned that there are so many dirty stories in Pangu Grand View. My most respected media person, Hu Shuli, was passively involved in the incident of the rogue Guo family, fearing that last year's 21st century Southern Department would be taken completely. After the exit, can Hu Shuli hold on, so that the little remaining fire of supervising public power will be extinguished like this.

After watching the three films of Jacques Tati, I found that he is very concerned about the picture, color, architecture and space. He is unambiguous. Is it the WES ANDERSON of that era?

Comedies always hide behind the director's criticism of social reality. And the director is actually a profound thinker of society.
