If a director can perfectly combine war and comedy to produce the most predictable comedy film, then this person would first recommend Liu Bieqian. Today I recommend one of his classic comedy movies- "You Flee, I Escape ", perhaps here you will see the shadow of "Inglourious Basterds" and " Escape from the Tiger's Mouth".

Some people say that Liu Bieqian is the director who can tell the most stories, so after watching "You Flee, I Flee", you will also agree very much !

In fact, just the wonderful performances of the actors in this movie, this movie is worthy of your collection , the performances of the actors are too unforgettable!

Of course, the above is not just the reason why "You Flee, I Escape" is a classic comedy movie. This film is outstanding in its rigorous dialogue, perfect use of music, misunderstandings between roles, the transfer of the first and last scenes in the play, and the right The irony of human ignorance, of course, the most talked about is its wonderful lines!

People can't help but sigh, such a brilliant line of life! Bravo! I really like the works of these clever people !

The film wins with lines, and many humorous jokes are expressed in lines, such as "To Be or Not to Be" that appears repeatedly in the play . Shakespeare was simply broken by Liu Bieqian. After watching the movie, we will know that whenever the male lead Dura said this line, the pilot would always sneak out in front of him to meet with his wife!

I believe that after watching this movie, as long as you hear "To Be or Not to Be" again in the future, you can't help but laugh!

Of course, Hitler could not escape, the analogy that appeared many times in the play: "If Napoleon's name is used as the name of brandy, and Bismarck's name is used as the name of herring, then Hitler will be a piece of cheese" , which is also impressive. profound.

And the actor Bronsky who played Hitler said in the play: "Long live myself!" It was full of humor and mockery.

Forget that always shirk responsibility colonel, whenever he would have a similar problem , "I can not believe my hands up ! " Expression.

And the conversation between them when Maria comforted Dura, which I like, is as follows:

Dura: Someone left during my performance, tell me Maria, am I unattractive anymore?

Maria: Of course not, dear, maybe he feels uncomfortable, maybe he has to leave, maybe he has a heart attack and has to leave, or he will die!

Dura: Maybe he is dead!

Liu Bieqian’s comedy expression is like this. It is not a constant laughter, but a little humor, which makes you smile from time to time. Personally, I think his comedy is an immersive comedy, which is very substituting!

Liu Bieqian's comedy is a little advanced, some jokes are subtle and subtle, but unexpected and very unique!

I like the design of this talk-stopping section. There is a particularly interesting point in the film. When Dura, Maria, and the pilot end their bad talk and bid farewell, the husband Dura first walked out of the room, and the pilot walked behind. Ra returned to let the pilot go first (in case his wife Maria whispers to the pilot)

The scene when Bronsky was on the streets of Warsaw was also fun.

Bronsky played Hitler and appeared on the street impressively. The director first rendered the facial expressions and reactions of the close-up crowd, and then explained the reasons for Bronsky’s actions. Think of it as Hitler on the street to see the effect of the masses).

Originally, his appearance was very similar, everyone mistakenly thought it was a real Hitler. Later, a little girl appeared to him and said: "Can you sign me? Bronsky" , which created a comedic effect again!

I like Liu Bieqian's brushwork, I like him to express war in a comedy way, and tell stories with enthusiasm!

This kind of Liu Bieqian is really unforgettable!
