I thought that the best comedy I've watched this year is "Doctor Thieves". Who knows that "Benevolence and the Crown" was blown out in the sky. Coincidentally, the two films are starring the same person-Alec. Guinness, however, the appearance in this film can be said to be a handsome, elegant and charming model, but only 6 years later in 1955 in "Doctor Thief", it is extremely trivial, abominable and despicable. In terms of acting skills, the fierce liar in "Dr. Thieves" is even better, and the film's victory lies in the ups and downs of the plot, and the actors have not played out the versatility of the role itself.
The story tells the story that the daughter of a noble family fell in love with a poor Italian singer and eloped with them. Not only did the family severed their relationship with them, but she and her son Louis were also deprived of their duchy status by the family. Louis, who was impoverished in the first half of her life, swore to her family— -De Asconi family-revenge, kill every stumbling block on his road to the title. However, just when he got his wish as a duke and announced the news about the marriage contract of a noble woman, an inexplicable murder charge was quietly found on him...
The whole film is narrated in the form of a dying memoir. The Duke started from a poor dick and slowly improved his life with his own talents and efforts. However, his strong desire for revenge and ambition for honor changed his original aspirations, except when he murdered the first person. Feeling guilty, after that, the technique became more adept and stress-free. The twists and turns at the end are so wonderful that the filming is amazing, and it may also be the limitation of the times. The dark and open ending that could have been open is stained with the bright color of Skynet.
The comedic effect of "Benevolence and the Crown" is that it was originally a cruel serial murder of relatives. In the eyes of Louis, who is staring at the throne of the duke, he is only redressing grievances for his mother and seeking justice for himself, so the whole film is immersed in a kind of petty people asking for cleverness. In the cheerful atmosphere of big interests, murder seems to be an additional condition for the strategy to succeed. The bright colors and the murderer’s ingenuity paint the film in the absurd atmosphere of crime comedy, and as Louis approaches the upper class, the grace and action of his actions The cruelty has also increased simultaneously, and it also satirizes the hypocrisy against the upper class. The audience watched the cruel murderer pretending to be a polite gentleman, in fact, they were watching the process of jumping the beam clown. The most ridiculous thing is that Louis, who was so guilty of crimes, was finally convicted of another murder case that was slandered. How absurd and bizarre!
When Louis appeared in front of the audience for the first time, the police officer peeped at the Duke from the cat's eyes before entering the house. The Duke, who was guaranteed to be dressed in silk even in prison, appeared in front of the audience with a swift and swift appearance. So we can only observe the duke from one angle. As the whole movie shows us, we can only see the almost bizarre smoothness of each murder of Louis, and his elegant and noble manners and different mortals, just like that figure from behind. This is the key to maintaining the black humor of the film, and it is also a drawback, that is, the psychological portrayal of Louis, who almost murdered the entire family, is too thin and the characters are not three-dimensional enough.
It’s much more interesting to watch gentlemen and ladies quarreling than ordinary people. They know that they are playing scheming, but they have to maintain dignity in words, and they will not make themselves the laughing stock of the public in action. The high style makes people love. . It is also a bright spot when the two sides play the public and even the law in their hands when they disagree. British restraint is simply the aphrodisiac of crime comedies. Finally, the waiting of the two women, one white and one black, is also quite evocative. Walking towards the white-clothed nobleman, life is nothing more than a disguise after the victory of revenge, waiting for the recovery of conscience; walking towards the black-clothed mistresses, holding each other's hands, can make the future more exciting. interesting.
The family rules of the Louis family appear in the film: kindness is more important than crown, and faith is more important than noble blood. This motto is like a sharp sword, piercing the true face of this family. What reminds me most is that a female duke among the nobles, who took the feminist movement as her mission, used a hot air balloon to escape the police chase, but she happened to give Louis the opportunity to murder with an arrow. This is no longer an indiscriminate position. The feminist was obviously played by a man (it is possible that several people who were killed before were played by the same person). This contrast also highlights the contrast between men and feminists in that era. The darkening and contempt of
