Recently, I have watched several classic comedy movies of Billy Wilder in a row. I am really grateful to him for bringing so much laughter and joy to my boring holiday life. Regardless of the vulgar translated name, the content of this jade girl is really phenomenal and textbook-level. In my understanding, BW's humor is more about the play of language, the use of echoing plots, and most importantly-the irony of reality. From BW's point of view, everything seems to be ironic. In One, Two, and Three, when he laughed at the following groups, he used a non-discriminatory joking and exaggerated tone. 1. The protagonist and the supporting role: Every supporting role is full of laughter. Of course, the protagonist will not only have the slightest aura of majesty, but it is more ridiculous than all the supporting roles combined: middle-aged and old obese man who wants to climb up, he thinks he is smart Absolutely, in fact, it always makes a big circle and messes up the reality. It is a big office romance and thinks that his wife does not know it. He tried his best to transform the socialist youth, but Otto got his job from his family, and he didn’t want to return to Atlanta at the end. Still have to be dingy to accept reality. When the film was frozen in the last shot, BW completed his most ruthless mockery of the male protagonist: Pepsi cola? Even your iron rice bowl has been teased by the facts! 2. Capitalism and socialism: Since this film is a full-fledged political satire set in Berlin during the Cold War, how can it be meaningful that it is not full of ideological confrontations? BW did not focus all on mocking and demonizing opposing ideologies, but from this Uncle Sam vs. Internaxonner squeezed out of the crowd in the alley and ran outside to observe and describe the ugliness of both sides. This should be related to his life experience when he was not an old American since he was a child, and then joined the American capitalist family. As an outsider, he seems to have the right to ridicule without caring about honor and belonging. Although Wilder’s stance and cognition made him finally choose the cliché of "capitalism defeated socialism" (the fat Russian who chose "Go west" in the end, after accepting the "capitalist transformation", he was full of faces with his father-in-law and his mother-in-law. Otto laughing), but the sparkling two-way mockery in the whole film still makes people laugh. There are countless ridicules of socialist stereotypes: poor (look at the bum-like appearance of Otto before the transformation), poor manufacturing level ("It doesn't matter, anyway, what we gave to Cuba is also a junk rocket"), the appearance of justice and abstinence The heart is small (the desire of three Russians for the blonde secretary, the East German border police smashed Coca-Cola swigs), political intrigue and full of slogans, "people" (Khrushchev's head was shaken off in the tavern and Stalin's head was revealed , Otto described to Scarlett how their children would parade in the future, "Send him to the People's Emergency Hospital! ") Wait. But in fact, the line that impressed me the most was when the three Russians went to save Otto, the fat brother said: "They will shoot my mother-in-law, wife, sister-in-law, brother-in-law...comrades, Let's go! "Although it sounds like an old joke now, it is also very classic. BW's ridicule of capitalism is actually expressed in two ways: one is directly expressed from the mouth of the socialist root, the young man Otto. : "Imperialist puppets", "bourgeois parasites", "Soviet missiles: Suddenly-reach Venus; American rockets: Pounce-fall to the coast of Miami". However, these very biased remarks will only make If people feel socialist malicious, then BW's another mocking method is much more credible: let the characters representing "capitalism" express their absurdity. The capitalist roles are also divided into two groups: Americans and West Germany. People. The male protagonist McNamara is undoubtedly the representative of the vain, utilitarian and garish American old white man. This has also been said in the previous protagonist. And the West Germans have just switched to democratic capitalism and a dark history of war. Not far away, the bad habits left over from the war have not yet been cleaned up-when McNamara walks through the large office, all the staff have to stand up straight, like a salute to the head of state; the hero's assistant (seems to be? I forgot my name.) Every time I say two sentences to him, I will make a noise with my heel, as if I am reporting to the head of state. After seeing the second half, I realized that the original title of one two three is an expression of order, and BW Finally, with the help of Li's mouth, he mocked the West Germans' "unchanged nature" more openly. When the actor gave an order like a head of state and said this very urgent 123, the assistant smiled: "Just like the good old days! What do you expect from them? I just feel that even in terms of the completion of the plot, the end of the forced family carnival is still a bit hasty. Another part of the play is probably Mr. Otto’s acting skills... Every line is violent, nostrils widened, glares open, fists clenched, and every action is full of breath, just like a quilt in a movie. The "Ruski go home" balloon on the exhaust vent of his motorcycle-always held like it was about to explode in the next second, but maintained an extremely "smooth" performance from start to finish. Although we can understand him as a harlequin who fuels the farce, the more exaggerated the better; or the fanatical socialists in East Germany are so radical to terrifying, but I do have a little unpleasant view because of him. Shadow experience. Finally, the theme song of the movie is adapted from Sabre Dance. I remember that I felt very nervous when listening to this song before watching this movie. When I heard the familiar melody at the beginning of the film, it seemed to understand the tone of the movie. : A compact farce. I just checked it carefully. The Sabre Dance was composed by the former Soviet composer Chachaturian in 1939. It describes the Kurdish expedition and aims to show the bravery and bravery of the nation and its people (if I understand, it may be related to the Red Detachment of Women almost). This is simply the biggest egg in the film (so in the scene they came back from East Berlin, Otto sang the capitalist song Itsy bitsy tennie wennie yellow polka-dot bikini in a daze, but the secretary seemed to be washed away by the Soviet saber dance music. In the end, one of them laughed at the bourgeois father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the other followed the Russian fat man. This change is really intriguing.) Wilder didn’t even forget the irony in the soundtrack, and used two songs to represent the two ideologies, and passed The tune hints at the direction of the characters, which is really wonderful. Bikini, the secretary seemed to be brainwashed by Soviet saber dance music, and they ended up laughing with the bourgeois father-in-law and the other with the Russian fat man. This change is really intriguing. ) Wilder doesn’t even forget the irony in the soundtrack. It’s wonderful to use two pieces of music to represent two ideologies, and to hint the direction of the characters through the pieces.
