You run away and I run away: kiss goodbye three times in two days

Dariana 2022-01-12 08:01:09

Gossip and Superman are two genes that are inherent in the actor industry.

An actress, even if she doesn't have a fan, she can perform a "lovesickness in the wind and rain".

Otherwise, the audience can't believe that she is all over the country.

An actor who played the role of Emperor Kangxi in the Yongzheng dynasty, encountered a thief and sexual harassment, how could he not shoot the crime, I, angry!

No anger, his emotions suffered internal injuries, and he will never receive the drama of "Emperor Generals" again.

Liu Bieqian put two actors, a gossip girl and a superman man, into a Hamlet comedy in 1939, against the background of the Second World War, the German Blitz, the invasion of Poland, and the occupation of Warsaw.

"To Be or Not to Be"

If you don't see it for yourself, you really missed the good life.

What’s amazing is that

This 1942 film is so politically correct from the standpoint of feminism in 2020.

The heroine, in two days, dated 3 men, a Nazi spy, a Nazi colonel, and a stand-in for the Nazi head of state.

As a result, the two true Nazis died on the same day, and the true head of the stand-in did not escape the punishment of death.

What does it mean that beauty is justice?

That's, 100%, one kiss, goodbye.

The core of the whole comedy is: the arrogant male protagonist frequently makes mistakes, and then everyone desperately saves the scene.

Constant low-level performance errors,

Temporary rescue for the miraculous reversal.

A fake beard played 5 different jokes.

If you don’t read it for yourself, if I describe it in words, then I can only copy the script.

The most memorable thing is,

An extra who pretended to be Hitler,

Without saying a line, without a look, he just turned and left the action, frightening the Nazi colonel and killing himself with a bomb.

What is Nazi-level terror?

Just imagine the possible consequences, you would rather die now.

Suppose, imagine,

If "The Man in the High Castle", science fiction becomes true history.

Liu Bieqian’s film is banned.

His own fate is Auschwitz.

You and my life, there is nowhere to escape.

So,

To be able to translate "To Be or Not to Be" into a humorous title like "You run away, I also run away" is really a kind of winner's happiness.

Do not watch the movie, it's up to you.

But there are times when you can’t escape,

To Do or Not to Do.

Remark:

Liu Bieqian, work, "You Flee and I Flee" To Be or Not to Be (1942)

"The Man in the High Castle" is an American novel written by Philip Dick.

Won the Hugo Award in 1963. Using the "Book of Changes" to guide the plot, through interspersed descriptions of characters of different classes and identities, it tells a reversed "history"-the Allies lost in World War II, the United States was divided and occupied by Germany and Japan, and justice was discussed. And injustice, cultural inferiority and identity, as well as the consequences of fascist dictatorship and racial discrimination to human society.

    A brilliantly ironic comedy of World War II, it can be said that Lubitsch's style and style are vividly interpreted. The interlocking, ups and downs of the play design and the witty dialogue, including those of deconstruction, intertextuality and analysis of classical drama, are equally ingenious. The chameleon actor went deep into the German army to play Nazis, and the younger brother used the drama lines to express his thoughts and puns. "To be or not to be" "Long live myself" hahaha~ Off topic: This film was the last film made by the heroine Carlo Rumbai, who died in a plane when she went to Indiana in 1941 to implement the wartime public debt. Wreck and Gable's third wife.

    [The 400th film in 2013 dedicated to Lubitsch] The 1942 Nazi satirical comedy. Very sophisticated and funny. Well-designed and natural jokes are still hilarious 70 years later. Unforgettable. You can see the shadows of many later movies: the jokey head of "Inglourious Basterds"; the "Mission Impossible 4" both sides and so on. It turned out that it was Lubitsch who played the rest. Comparable to The Great Dictator. But still not as great and immortal as it is. Four and a half stars

  • [repeated line]

    Colonel Ehrhardt: Schultz!

  • Maria Tura: [Talking about who sent the flowers] It's true, Anna, I don't know who it is; but, I'm positive who it might be.

    Anna: You mean that young aviator?

    Maria Tura: Yes, he's very young. He's in the second row again. He gets better-looking every night... Don't misunderstand me. I love my husband dearly, and why not? He's wonderful. Only he gets so unreasonable, so upset about little things.

    Anna: Like the little thing in the second row.
