The story tells the stories of foreigners in various countries learning English in the 1970s, involving all kinds of homophonic stalks, accent stalks, religious stalks, political stalks...
Although it seems that some are outdated now, the plot setting of Victory in this drama is very clever, often reversing, reversing, plus reversing, so it is still classic today.
First of all, Ali from Pakistan came to sign up to learn English. He stepped on thunder as soon as he opened his mouth, the most basic kind.
The headmaster apparently had taken it off for a long time, and immediately understood the meaning, and guided him word by word to wait in the classroom.
But she forgot, if she can understand who else can learn English!
So, she had to use the simplest sentence to say it again very slowly,
Unexpectedly, it was about to succeed, but it was ruined by the word "right" .
After finally succeeding, the strong-hearted principal understands that this class of students is no different from the previous ones. She secretly hopes that the new teacher will be a persevering female teacher.
Because the male teacher last semester could not stand it for only one month, he was mentally confused and crawled out of the classroom window...
However, the new teacher is Mr. Brown , who is warm-hearted, gentle and cute, and very confident in himself .
Teacher Brown, who was ready for everything, stepped into the classroom confidently.
But as soon as he introduced himself, he was corrected by student Ali. Fortunately, the principal was vaccinated in advance, and everything was within the tolerance range.
Next, we will start to register for the roll call. If you ask Mr. Brown, what was the most broken moment in her life?
I think he will definitely answer, register this moment by name.
The lengthy name of the Greek Marcos makes him a big head;
Italian Giovanni’s non-standard accent made him consume countless brain cells;
But these are considered good, and it is simply great to compare the next challenges.
When the Indian Jamila opened her mouth, she seemed to be speaking an alien language, and she couldn't understand it at all. Fortunately, Mr. Brown had an idea, it didn't matter if she didn't understand it, then the writing was always done?
No, because the text is also a heavenly script, and I can't understand it at all!
And in just a few minutes, his hearing has also fallen.
When Indian Singh said that he believed in Sikhism, he heard that the adult family fell ill.
The accent problem is only a very small aspect, and there are also headaches of race and religion.
German Anna and Japanese Chang Ji Taro argued that their country is the most efficient nation;
And Ali from Pakistan and Singh from India mocked each other when they opened their mouths. If they weren't pulled by someone, they would definitely have a fight.
I thought these were bad enough, the principal gave another shot, saying that these are not troublesome, and the most troublesome thing is produced by foreign beauties.
As soon as the words landed, Danielle from France came.
As soon as she arrived, Italians, Spaniards and Greeks swarmed up.
And in the future, our teacher Brown will be teased by all sorts.
Have verbal teasing,
Deliberately flirting,
Behaviour flirting, etc.
In short, the accents of various countries are intertwined with each other, and the drama conflicts layer after layer, and the comedic effect produced is still worthy of fun even now.
Although most of the characters in it are deliberately stupid, due to the actor's performance ability and the rendering of the plot, the exaggeration is even more funny and cute.
Unlike some dramas, it is obviously cute, but it makes the audience feel stupid and embarrassed.
For example, once, the principal told Teacher Brown that an African student was coming, and another inspector was coming to inspect.
As everyone guessed, Mr. Brown successfully confuses the characters.
And in front of the other party, criticize the other party bluntly.
But when you finally revealed your identity, when you thought the inspector was going to give a bad review, the other party said that he was too happy and he did not hesitate to praise him.
Switch to a general comedy, and this is the end, but the reversal of this drama is always one more layer.
When Mr. Brown knew from the principal that it was a female student, she walked into the classroom and there was a black girl.
The heart that had been hanging before was immediately let go, and he immediately told the other party about his magical experience just now.
But as he spoke, he found that the other party knew the inspector better than himself, and even knew his name.
When I asked, the heart that I just let go of began to hang again.
In this drama, apart from being funny, we can see all kinds of problems encountered in English learning.
When Greeks with big accent problems learn to pronounce, the pronunciation of Tucao English is complicated.
The Spaniard who didn't know how to answer the question at all, but was so lucky that he was right.
In order to cope with the mock exam and prevent this course from being aborted, the teacher helped the students cheat, but in the end they found that the answer they copied was from the year before!
But when you think it's all over, the students' grades are surprisingly good...
Due to the chronology , although there is no shortage of British stereotypes of various countries at the time ,
For example, French schoolgirls always fantasize about seduce teachers all day long, Indian and Pakistani students always clash over various religions, and the quotations of Chinese student Grandpa Mao are casual...
But even with these, the play is still a classic,
Because the screenwriter did not treat the audience in front of the screen as superficial and stupid, the lines and character depictions in it are worthy of scrutiny.
For example, in the episode where the teacher confessed to his parents, combined with the starring real fate, it was obviously a comedy performance, but it looked sad.
It is very difficult to keep the audience from getting bored from episode to episode, but this show does it completely.
Sometimes you will be surprised at the screenwriter’s deep insight into the process of language learning, and the talent for comedy creation.
All in all, watching this drama is over.
