Humble opinion

The first time I watched this famous film, it was indeed full of jokes. From the beginning of the British pilot parachuting, the film kept using contradictions to promote the development of the plot. In addition to the two protagonists, the painter and conductor, and A large number of ordinary French people helped the British pilots escape from Paris regardless of gain or loss, which allowed us to see the incomparably kind side of the French people in addition to laughter. French comedy, in addition to what the teacher said, gives me the feeling that the overall situation is extremely reasonable, and the details are slightly exaggerated (some plots are somewhat unreasonable) to create a sense of joy. Not in other French films as well, I need to see and experience this more.
As far as this film is concerned, the most impressive thing for me is the three extremely witty performances of the painter. One is to save the conductor who is in conflict and stop him from the bicycle to avoid being discovered by the German patrols. The second time was when they pretended to be German patrolmen. After the commander was brought into the German squad by a dog, the painter tactfully fired two shots, pretending to be an enemy, and led the German patrolmen into the woods; the third time was when they were taken by Germany During the interrogation by the major, in order to delay the time, the painter took out a handkerchief and blew his nose very loudly, and cooperated with the conductor to say some outrageous words. From these plots, it can be seen that the painter is actually a wise man, he is patient with the conductor in every possible way, and he appears to be "stupid", which is not his essence; he is just using his own "stupidity" to maintain the inequality between the two Relationship, at critical moments, what he often shows is his true side, turning the tide. It can be said that he is the backbone of the two-person team.
