A love letter from a senior movie fan to Liu Bieqian

Not inferior to the 42-year-old Liu Bieqian's "original", I think those who feel that this film is not as good as the old version, if they are not too stubborn, they did not know Mel Brooks.
Mel Brooks is a veteran movie fan who truly loves comedy movies and has an endless passion for comedy. The films and directors who have had influence in film history are all modified and written by him to pay tribute to the filming. In addition to "You Flee, I Flee", there are "Frankenstein and the Bride", "Mental Hospital", and "The Phantom of the Opera" Wait. From this, we can see that Mel is similar to Quentin, has a wealth of reading volume and crazy love for some movies. In the era when there was no DVD and Blu-ray, perhaps he had also worked as a salesperson in video tape rental and secretly after get off work every day. Go home with a pile of boxes.
You run and I run too (42 years), undoubtedly the perfect and most brilliant design and lines in the comedy, abandoning the stubborn idea that the original version is better than the new version, we can't find any shortcomings at all in the 84 version, from the lines to the set. Equally consistent, there is no innovation and no spoof, but because of Mel’s self-direction, self-writing and self-acting, from another perspective, it can even be considered as surpassing the original. Because Mel is the most talented actor in comedy, his self-direction and self-acting are the core content of the film. The purpose of presenting a leisurely and freely performance is not only to pay tribute, but also to show his deep love for his favorite comedy.
