If you are proficient in English and French, you must adjust your mentality before watching the movie. Don't get too deep into the movie, otherwise the moment you walk out of the movie theater, there must be twenty-four cats in your mind grabbing hairballs.
The French woman Marion took her son, and the New York radio host Mingus, Mingus's daughter with the potential to be the "first black goth", and a cat with a hairball, began a happy cohabitation life-until one day, Marion's father, sister, ex-boyfriend and current boyfriend came to visit relatives. The half-way love between the two of them has met the deep test of Culture Shock.
The father who stuffed his underwear with sausage and cheese as a gift and was detained by the customs; the double French boyfriend who was deported after smoking leaves in front of the police station; the French girl who was naked in front of the strangers and often beat up with her sister, The French communication and French humor of the old and two young players are vividly displayed. Unsurprisingly, the relationship between Marion and Mingus was in crisis. As an artist, Marion was more determined to auction his soul in a solo exhibition; Mingus, as a black literary youth, revealed his emotions to Obama's portrait.
There are climaxes and constant laughter in the play. French lines and English dialogues echo each other, creating one after another absurd but reliable contradiction. This kind of cultural humor is based on context. This is like 10 years of Norwegian Very Cold Trip-hastily released in Paris and rolled off the line ahead of schedule. If you don’t understand France or the United States, you cannot understand the parody in the battle between the two armies. Delpy is a talented woman, and her interpretation of her transformation into a jade silk is calm. Only by facing it indifferently, or really having suffered in this kind of cultural conflict, can we so cleverly find a check and balance, that is, the new life produced in the collision of these two contexts.
Under the bright tones of the film, it is full of powerless black humor—the first black goth girl, auctioned souls, the bouncing appreciation of works of art...all of which died down before the arrival of a new life.
Life is beautiful. However, can the birth of a new life quell disputes? Maybe the children of Marion and Mingus will bring the collision of the two cultures to a higher level, right? Looking forward to this climax, I also look forward to Two Days in Anywhere.
