"I Serve the King of England" (Czech Republic) 2006
Director: Jeremnzell's

film is very creative, transparently showing the pain of a country's nation with the most grassroots wisdom. The vicissitudes of the times experienced by a small person corresponded to the decline of the entire nation, which was shockingly shocking. What's more valuable is that this movie is not intoxicating crying and shame, not pursuing ideals filled with righteous indignation, but using the everlasting wisdom in the human brain to analyze things, metaphor reality, and whip the soul.
The strong power of this high point makes the film show the truth and helplessness of the decline and fall of the entire nation in the emotions of the little people, the survival of the little people in troubled times, and the return of the soul of the little people. Therefore, the impact of the film's tone lies entirely at the core of the story-the restaurant waiter Didi, the ordinary people who are too small.
In his later years, Didi was assigned to hard labor in barren land, and the harsh environment used to be prosperous. The old people here recalled the changes of the times and the whole life entrenched in history. According to Didi’s character, we discovered how to face and experience the huge history in the eyes of an ordinary person...
The young Didi has an unusually substandard figure and appearance, a little worse than the masses, and also has a more developed IQ and EQ than others. Therefore, the survival ability and thinking mode of this little individual who is very different from the world makes this guy special. But he is really too small, relying on the survival of others and the human nature of the little people can do it, what he wants to see is his own one-third of an acre. Therefore, this ordinary little person who is not a national hero or a savior can only be described as exquisite.
An exquisite grassroots made a fortune from a platform vendor, and reached a "millionaire" with the dexterity of observing words and colors. This kind of business-oriented personal development did not prove that this little man was a lucrative speculator. On the contrary, in the public perception, Didi is a person who is committed to good. His Xiangshan represents the long-cherished wish of the poor people to make money and live a good life. Before Didi flew the priceless stamps with the wind, he could always deal with money, beauty and power to serve himself. At these times, he has no love, no emotion, no human conception to support, and some are just the right way to make money. Thus, from hawkers, street cafes, wealthy clubs, national restaurants to Nazi fertility centers, he has the money and reputation he exchanged for his cleverness. At that time, his long-cherished wish was to be a millionaire.
Didi kept repeating his game in the film, dropping coins on the ground. As a result, those coffee shop guests with small money, businessmen who spend a lot of money on socializing, and officials who don't take money seriously will pick them with their ass. This phenomenon tells us what kind of trash selves are in the hearts of these people who are the pillars of the country. These people who are in charge of the wealth of the country have achieved self-greed, and also achieved Didi's life. However, the possible national defeat of the Czech Republic is indelible forever. The Germans are getting closer and closer, and some of us once meant that "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter." The people are rebelling, such as patriots represented by senior waiters. The government is compromising, using documentaries to confuse its incompetence. Finally, the Czech Republic became Nazi Germany. The nation fell, the country fell, and the waiter used the gentleman's demeanor and noble character to make people excited and admired.
There is no need to say more about the fate of a woman in Didi's life, but beautiful women are not uncommon. From prostitutes to senior prostitutes, there is no love, only love. Therefore, after the kind-hearted Didilu rescued the little German woman, this young and healthy woman is bound to become his favorite. And this favorite, with a single heart toward Germany and a single heart toward Nazi politics, was brainwashed, and has been washing Didi's mind seriously. Poor Didi is indeed a good person. For the sake of love and righteousness, he used a genealogy that he hadn't understood for 800 years in exchange for the identity of a purebred "good citizen", forgetting his country and being fooled by his friends. As a survivor of inaction, Didi is indeed very smart, already smart enough to serve his own national politics. As a result, the viewer saw Hitler's ugly face during the ritualized sex between the restless little man and the Nazi little woman.
Can't avoid the shock and nausea that this scene brings. This is how the common people are assimilated in the face of politics, and their beliefs distort humanity. This ridiculous conclusion is ridiculous in the ridiculous age. However, in that era, who was not like that? Either by doing it yourself, or duplicity. The individual is in front of the system, and the human nature is in front of the politics. The truth and the absurd are merged into one, which cannot be vetoed or shaken. The little woman went to the Soviet battlefield without hesitation, and the return of humanity before leaving did not let Didi get the nourishment of true love. By the time of goodbye, the woman had already taken a stamp from her underwear. This change makes people feel sad and joyful. Later, the woman died unexpectedly and left a stamp. Later, Didi became the millionaire of his dreams. Later, he was taken into prison by people wearing red hoops. In prison, the likes of Didi's lifelong hope ignored him.
When the director Jerry Minzer displayed Didi's memories, he vividly used stylized images such as silent films, which were vivid and vivid, and were really masterpieces. In the images showing reality, the dark and cool images correspond to the vicissitudes of the characters. These two artistic methods vividly express the taste of the original novel more clearly, one is lively and active, and the other is deep and restrained. The youth and old age of a person, the past and present of a nation can be vividly remembered. Didi's life has been ups and downs in the historical gully. The proposition of the film and the original work—I once served the King of England—is a small person’s evaluation of himself, a grassroots public mentality that says how I have been, and the ups and downs of the nation are revealed in the heart of this small person.
Using the kindness of ordinary people to illusion the changes of the entire era, "I Once Serve the King of England", a perfect film combining rationality and sensibility, shows the silent social background. Human nature is rising, integrating, seeking breakthroughs and moving forward. In this film that deliberately weakens the society, politics, and system, the only credible thing is the eternal beauty of human nature, and the only credible thing is the concern and salvation of the good human nature for the country. The beauty of this movie and the original novel lies in the use of human wisdom to highly reflect on the stupidity of human beings, rather than to continue something more stupid.

    It should be regarded as a comedy, with a lot of absurd humor, although overall it ended up on the inspirational path of "finding who you are"; the style is very romantic, and each supporting actress has its own bright spots; what's interesting is his every class change Both are identified by a new woman, and later we see Czechs harassing German women, and Germans tie women’s fertility and ethnic formation to the extreme. Class and ethnic identity are all imagined through the female body.
