The comedy films of the 1930s still have a bit of laughter. Cold, dogmatic, rigid, and the Soviet cadre Nino Tengka, who regarded the liberation of all mankind as her responsibility, came to the capitalist country-Paris, France. Here, the residence pays attention to luxury, fashionable people change their clothes several times a day, there is no rationed food, but an endless amount of wine and delicacies, you can talk freely without worrying about being informed, and no one will monitor your every move. The pursuit of comfort and happiness is human nature. Nino Chika soon fell in love with Paris, and also fell in love with the prodigal brother, Leo. It must be admitted here that Leo can speak well, is good at observing words and colors, and has the skill max of sultry girl, especially the plot of sending flowers. It is full of sweetness. There is a bottle of Nino Tengka’s goat’s milk that has been drunk since childhood. Such a caring little Wolfdog, no woman will not be impressed! The film is full of satire on the ideological and dehumanized former Soviet Union, such as the portrait of Lenin that appeared several times. When Nino Tengka first arrived in Paris, she brought a picture of the great leader and placed it on the bedside solemnly. Nino Tengka is as serious and cold as Lenin in the photo, worrying about the country and the people. When Nino Tengka was drunk in the gentle capitalist township, Lenin in the frame, like Nino Tengka, learned to smile and was relaxed and happy. After Nino Tengka returned to the Soviet Union, the statue of Lenin above the room became cold and serious again, and the portrait mirrored Nino Tengka's heart like a mirror. People in shabby clothes and no smiles held high the majestic portrait of Stalin in the parade, undoubtedly sending a message: the people are not happy. Another example is the triple room that my friends envy. The dilapidated house has no privacy at all. The administrator can come and go at will. People live under a magnifying glass, and every move is monitored. Nino Tengka’s silk pajamas caused controversy and rose to political heights. The shabby roommate asked Nino Tengka to talk about life in Paris, a world completely different from real life. Just listen and touch. Feeling smooth silk fabrics is already very fascinating. Nino Tengka generously gifted her pajamas to his soon-to-be-married girlfriend, and his girlfriend ecstatically took this second-hand pajama to her honeymoon. This plot makes people sad. A woman doesn’t even have any decent clothes. People don’t dare to laugh, sing and dance loudly. Friends have to bring an egg when they get together because of food shortages. All personal letters are reviewed, and the full text is crossed out and people are cut off. The connection with the outside world, such a country, still want to liberate all mankind? The last three friends staying in Constantinople means "they cannot examine our memory", Once the people are awakened, they will try to pursue a free, prosperous, and fair life. And Leo's appearance, although a happy ending, was really abrupt. The playboy changed sex overnight, and he went to the ends of the world for love. This curve is also a bit bigger. But since it's a comedy and Leo is so likable, I also love to hear the last kiss.
