"Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" is a special category. This movie is about a British fighter jet that was hit by the Germans during World War II, and the three pilots forced to land in the German-occupied area of Paris. A hilarious tale of planes flying over borders. In the context of World War II, which should have been serious, the film is full of joy, and many of the stalks still don't feel outdated today, and they have the effect of making people laugh and even laugh. There is no doubt that it beautifies the cruelty of war, weakens the combat effectiveness of fascists, and generously gives the foreign survivors a bright ending; but it is completely different from the anti-Japanese dramas of the Chinese Dynasty, and it can be said to be unique. . After watching it, I thought about its charm as a war comedy, and I couldn't stop for a long time.
First of all, no one can die. After a series of arduous struggles such as forced landing, the escape of Paris-Lyon-Mossault, the fire at the headquarters, and the battle of agricultural aircraft, the only one who was injured in the protagonist was Peter who was hit in the left arm when he tried to climb over the wall after the forced landing. The loss was missing the Opera House's rescue of the Macintosh, and after that it moved as easily and intact as ever. All casualties in the rest of the film include: the conductor's shoes did not fit his feet, causing him to swear all the way, the painter accidentally splashed paint on the German general's body, and several soldiers were hit by pumpkins while chasing the monastery's fruit and vegetable truck, and the headquarters was on fire. Got a bunch of German soldiers all over the place with dust on their faces, and so on.
Allied friendship needs to last forever. After the British pilot made an emergency landing in Paris, he immediately received unreserved warm and friendly reception from the French people of all classes, including painters, conductors, beautiful actresses from the puppet theater, beautiful proprietors of the Universal Hotel, and beautiful nuns of the convent. Unhindered access. In particular, the single painter and conductor not only selflessly covered the two pilots for the first time, but also left their own jobs to go to the Turkish bath for them. Jin Yiwei's password "Yuanyangzhu" originally came from Sri Lanka), and then he escorted him without hesitation until the end of the film and flew to a new life with them. The camaraderie is touching.
The enemy's self-forgetfulness will not die, but will not die. At the end of the film, the pilot and the French find an abandoned agricultural aircraft in a wooden house, and they fiddle with it. They use the car as the engine to smash German armored vehicles and reconnaissance aircraft. Airplane scene. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what the protagonists have done to smash the German iron shoes; they once beaten armed soldiers off the road with a cart full of pumpkins, set fire at the headquarters, poked the tires of all German cars and escaped by themselves , once disguised as a German general, and entered and exited the opera houses all over the German army, as if entering a land of no one. (It needs to be emphasized that although the German army was teased and turned round and round, it was not torn by hand or destroyed. The exaggerated scale of this film is also good
. ) To make the audience laugh, the script has to be downscaled. The contradictions between the movie characters are scattered in the Germans VS French, Germans VS British pilots, French VS British pilots, French (painters) VS French (conductors), especially the latter two. The German army was completely blackened throughout the whole process, and there is no need to mention it. When the two pilots went to the monastery to steal the car, the French thought they had left him and couldn't help complaining, "The British really crossed the river and demolished the bridge." At this time, the British were saying, "Hurry up and pick up the French, I wondered about them"; the commander The family thanked the painter twice for saving his life, but he did not hesitate to support him, changing into comfortable shoes, riding on the painter's shoulders, and letting the painter carry two bicycles and throw away by himself, very arrogant. The British have very few black spots, probably only Peter, who was covered by a troupe girl on the train. He originally tried to get away with it, but because he accidentally dumped the seasoning and said "so sorry", he was defeated by the German army. Unstoppable self-restraint.
Must be logically consistent. The escape of a group of people is quite like an adventure legend, but the director did not give up the basic logic. After the squadron leader and the two pilots made an emergency landing, the three lines of escaping at the zoo, the opera house, the top of the building, and meeting the rescuers were stable. Harmony, looking for someone at the Opera House, separation at the train station, mixed accommodation at the Universal Hotel, reunion at the headquarters, several major scenes developed reasonably and clearly, and the branch lines were also appropriate (for example, McIntosh was arrested when he was hiding in the Opera House, Peter was arrested To Mosot), and the last few waves of people met in surprise in the hall on the first floor of the headquarters, although it was expected, it was also worth seeing.
A film that can do the above points is really worth cherishing.
