Okay, let's see how long-winded the French in the twentieth century are now

I don't know why, but every time I see a French film, I have the urge to turn off the stereo or plug my ears (choose one). Why? ! Why? ! Remember the Louis de Fines movie? ! Whether it's an old lady on the street, a police chief, or a conductor at a train station. . . As long as there are characters who have lines in the camera, their words will fly around your ears like a machine gun (a machine gun with infinite bullets). It seems that French humor is only expressed in language. . . (Who said that French is the international official language, is this also a joke?!)
Having said that, let's talk about the director who is a household name. The American student Luc Besson was born in Paris, France in 1959. What a glorious young history. From blue sea and blue sky to violent block 2, . Our French director who has short hair but sleeps like a chicken coop all day brings us a different French movie. But whether it is a literary film or a commercial film, it projects American-like coats and French-like shirts. This is the reason for Luc's success. He is often able to combine American-learned action commercials with French romantic literary films into his films. Some people say that he is the Spielberg of France, which cannot be questioned. He really, like Spielberg, is constantly changing himself, his style, his attitude towards movies. Of course, not everyone is perfect, and not everyone can take their legs to the next level as steadily as Spielberg did. After seeing this new work, I feel that Luc is getting old, starting to like nostalgia, and starting to reminisce. Memories of the wonderful childhood in France, memories of the neighbors' chatter. Some people say that he is fighting against the world, against all routines and habits. . . So Adela, the woman who pushed his childhood memories, entered his head. Ok. . . We have to learn Adela's calmness. . . Strangely enough, in the French-like language humor we've seen in the past. Calm down, not the protagonist. Like the chattering taxi driver, the nimble but equally chattering street gangster (Leto). People don't get bored like that, at least their ramblings aren't boring. . . But. . . Adela's long-windedness is based on a woman who is hysterical. . . And this hysterical woman has an extraordinary composure. . . This abnormal music permeates the film as if it were the monologue at the beginning of 'Angel Emily'. . . It seems that Luc is not good at directing an intelligent woman. Because she always said her wisdom so calmly. . . Can't get up. . . Therefore, under the background of this calm to boring protagonist, many small characters and small supporting roles have emerged resolutely. It seems that the main line of the story is not to follow in the footsteps of the protagonist, but to follow the many extras. . . This makes the story seem like a beautiful jigsaw put together (even if it is beautiful, it can never be a complete picture) and we seem to be reading a storybook. As a result, the short stories in the story meeting have no title, only the words "story meeting" are written on the cover, and that's it. . . There is a painless adventure plot on the shelf. . . This made the film lack Luc's previous American coat, but added a French coat. . .
