Let's start with the "Valentine's Day Massacre" lying in Baidu Encyclopedia. In 1920, America entered the era of Prohibition. After that, the bootleg trade began to emerge. The gangster "Scar" and the gangster "Bug" often bleed and fight for territory. On February 14, 1929, in an auto repair shop, "Scar" people picked up machine guns and fired a burst of fire. A total of 7 people under "Bug" fell to the corner of the wall. "Bug" himself escaped the disaster because he was late. This "Valentine's Day Massacre" has not yet been detected. The identity of the murderer mentioned above is purely speculation by others. Some 30 years later, director Billy Wilder thought, why not make it a hilarious comedy? The producer immediately expressed that he couldn't bear it: "What match is this? Massacre? Blood? Comedy?" This movie is "Passion Like Fire". It was not favored at first, but it was very popular. In 1996, it ranked 14th in the 100-year best film list, and was rated as the first of the funniest comedy films of the 20th century. At the beginning of the movie, in a sedan carrying a coffin, there are four expressionless men in black. A sound of sirens breaks the pathetic atmosphere of the film. Run! The black-clothed driver of the car stepped on the accelerator. The police and the men in black started a fight, and the film was transformed into a police and bandit film. The coffin was shot through several holes, and the liquid gurgled out. This scene was surprising and funny to me, and I smelled it for the first time—Chicago, Prohibition Era. Yes, I saw this movie when I was very young, and it was still on a black and white mini-tv. But the black-and-white version of the film is said to be aimed at reducing the brutality of the shooting, and at the same time for the two upcoming male protagonists, to make their female makeup look more harmonious. In the first 4 minutes, there is no dialogue. The audience should abandon the preference to understand a movie by reading the lines, relying on eyesight, on the faces of the supporting characters whose expressions are not rich enough, and in the unexpected and reasonable transformation of several scenes, to capture the charm of this movie. . The wine-smelling coffin was carefully carried into a room by the man in black. People looked serious, as if they were going to go to their grandmother's funeral. Police officers in plainclothes walked through the door. There was no funeral. People were singing and dancing in the wine pool and the meat forest. The thunderous music was like a heavy curtain blocking the gloomy world outside. The film slides into a lighthearted and cheerful tone. The undertones of film noir have not changed, and the secret contest between the police and the gangster Big Mouth (the prototype of Scar) continues, and the film naturally strikes a balance between the two atmospheres. Voila! The two male protagonists are here, they are Joe and Jerry, one is a saxophone player and the other is a bass player. From the looks on their faces enjoying their work, to the joy of talking about debt, getting their paycheck right away, and betting on All the net worth, go to the casino, realize the wealth and life of money, and then to the fact that by observing a simple action of the police officer, they can understand the meal and leave work early, this series of arrangements, you have been keen to smell this. would be a good show. In short, these two faces and a few lines of dialogue mean a good show is coming. The police detained people and shut down the Big Mouth bar. Joe and Jerry escaped with mouse-like acumen, but there was no worst, only worse. Unemployment, lost all money, and even the only coat was pawned and used to gamble on dogs. The cold wind was blowing, Jerry kept complaining, and Joe kept pouring chicken soup. Joe decided to use his "accumulated" female resources in the past to find a new job. There is an agency that is looking for musicians, but only for women. Jerry thinks it's OK, just don't wear women's clothes. Joe denied it. However, he told the boss of the brokerage company that he was interested in the Valentine's Day party on the university campus. The performance was 6 yuan per person, and there was exactly 12 yuan to buy a coat, so that it would not freeze into two dogs. It's freezing cold and the road to university is long, what should I do? Old lover Joe uses his stunt and coaxes Ms. Nelly to lend them the car. They rushed to the auto repair shop in high spirits to pick up the car. Big Mouth broke in with his subordinates. The boss is the boss, killing is no nonsense. They shot Toothpick Charlie and others who were playing cards. Because he said that the last time the police targeted him, it was Toothpick Charlie whistleblower. Not even a single mental preparation. This rhythm, this picture, shocked the three audiences at the scene. Joe and Jerry, who hid behind the car for the first time, were very unlucky and were discovered by Big Mouth. The two hapless ones surrendered obediently, and Joe said I was blind and couldn't see anything, and I was still dumb and couldn't say anything. Jerry's humor is in another realm: "You guys grab your fat, we are poor ghosts who don't even drink soup, don't disturb each other, let's all be well!" Taking advantage of the victim lying on the ground, he got up and prepared to call the police , Big Mouth turned around and took the machine gun in the neutral position. The chaotic Chicago streets gave them a chance. Big Mouth kills them, it's only a matter of time. There is always a way out. Men can't do it, but women can still do it. They wear earrings, wigs, fake breasts, skirts, stockings, and heels. Get into an all-female band. Go to Miami. Jerry's complaints about his physique came online, "How can women still walk fast when they wear high heels? It's so cold, do they often catch colds? It feels like everyone is staring at me!" His retreat drum sounded. Marilyn Monroe's graceful "spring-loaded" figure passed by lightly. Big Mouth's Murder Makes Newspaper Front Pages remind them. Just keep going. When I got on the train, I was surrounded by a group of swaying women, as if I was in a pile of fudge rubbed with fragrant powder, and Jerry began to enjoy it, "I always dreamed when I was a child that I could be locked in a bakery. , yummy pastries everywhere, jam rolls, brownies, Boston cream pie..." Jerry's conception of gender started to get out of balance - he seemed to have given up his real gender and really thought of himself as a woman. In contrast, Joe seemed much calmer and more rational. He has been correcting Jerry's gender. When the head of the band, Sweet Su said, there are two things she can't tolerate the most, one is alcohol, and the other is men. Jerry answered righteously: "We don't want to be with men even if we die. Men are rude and savage, and they love to let go. They see women only for one purpose." At bedtime at night, Jerry put his hands on his cheeks and admired the sexy women The figure is like an innocent alien, who doesn't know what "pornography" is. In getting along with the stunner Monroe, Jerry became a good girlfriend. But Joe has the idea of ​​pursuing Monroe. Just because Monroe exposed, she always fell in love with the saxophone players and fell in love with their talents. Of course, it was also because of Monroe's sexy and delicate body and her innocent big eyes. Monroe said she was looking for a rich man with glasses who was a VIP of the Wall Street Journal and was emotionally helpless. Joe then pretended to be a rich oil tycoon who was a complete idiot when it came to sexual affairs. He can act successfully, also thanks to the 75-year-old rich man Felting. Miami. Like Felting, the people who have the money and the spare time to go to the beach are all old-fashioned grandpas. Tingting looked into the distance through a telescope and fell in love with Jerry. A fairytale encounter. The old prince Tingting picked up the shoes, put them on for Cinderella Jerry diligently, and then helped carry the luggage diligently, explaining the rich experience of 8 marriages one by one. The female version of Jerry's tall tiger body, big angular feet, ambiguous ironic response, and the slap in the face in the elevator, Tintin said: "Zowie (really beautiful)". Comic comic sense. He's really a pure love boy. Joe, who was wearing a skirt, was also sexually harassed. The little waiter who helped with the luggage teased Joe frivolously: "Do you want to see my driver's license?" Didn't this force the old driver Joe out of the driver's seat? After the waiter walked away with a dashing face, Joe angrily threw his bag on the bed. Retribution tut. Jerry felt his butt and complained that he was being eaten tofu. Joe: "A man sees a dress like a bull sees a red cloth." Jerry: "I don't want to be a red cloth, I want to be a bull." At this time, they could have gone as planned, and Jin Chan escaped. , slip away. Joe has his own little 99, he stole a box of men's clothing, ready to restore his bull status at any time and chase Monroe. Monroe, wearing a see-through outfit, sat on the stage and sang affectionately. The director uses shadows to "add" a blouse, which is really subtle and direct. Those blurred eyes and sexy lips were not eclipsed by the black and white background of the film. Let Jerry accept Tintin's courtship, and after transferring Tintin, Joe put on a new bull outfit and boarded Tintin's private yacht with Monroe. I watched the stars on the cliff with my fiancee, and when we were kissing, my fiancee died on the cliff because of my nearsightedness. Through this fantasy story, Qiao set up a 100% pure, infatuated diamond Wang Lao five for himself. With a low-cut open-back evening dress and a pair of ignorant and innocent eyes, the heroine created by Monroe knows nothing except love and the heart of the Virgin who saves the rich. Monroe kissed Joe, and Joe, who was lying on the sofa, raised one leg. It has become one of the classic scenes full of hints in the film. After dancing with Tintin all night, Jerry and Tintin got engaged! Joe: "You're a man, why should a man marry a man?" Jerry: "For safety." He was so telepathic, Dazui arrived immediately with his subordinates, and stayed at the same hotel. They meet in the elevator. Facing the two slightly familiar ladies, the gangster and the gentleman took off their hats to pay tribute. The provocation in tight spaces is also evident. Jerry cocked his orchid fingers, and said madly, "If you don't look for us, we will look for you." The big-mouthed machine guns were still in their ears, and they immediately began to pack up and prepare to get out. Jerry was reluctant to part with Tingting and touched the diamond bracelet on his wrist: "I will never find a man who treats me so well!" Like a man who is about to drown, he can't put down the five million jackpot he just won . But Hua Xin Qiao suddenly changed, and he remembered Monroe. He made up another story about a helpless puppet who wanted to marry another woman for the benefit of the family. The diamond bracelet was a gift of thanks for a generous and conscientious man. Joe and Jerry jump over the wall to escape. Turned over to the balcony of Big Mouth, and was caught by Big Mouth. The chase scene, which is limited to a small area of ​​the hotel, is still in the style of comic comics. They hid under the table in the conference room and came across another black-and-white shooting. Big Mouth is killed by the bigger boss. Joe, who was running for his life, stopped because of Monroe's sad song. He couldn't help kissing Monroe and wiped the tears from her face: "A man is not worth your sadness." Monroe recognized him. This scene, the picture seems grotesque, thoughtful and reasonable. Joe and Monroe, Jerry and Tintin, the four boarded the boat and left. Jay Leigh told Tintin: "We can't get married, I lived with a saxophone player; I'm an old smoker; I can't have children; I'm a man..." People." There are witty puns everywhere. Shots, montage techniques express cold humor. Dramatic, the weak are unlucky again and again, keep running on the road, and have to solve each problem subtly, because of this, the joy can't stop like a lit firecracker, there is no best, only a better drama is behind; if It is said that the weak are repeatedly saved in the dramatic plot, and the strong are repeatedly played by the drama. Thus, the strength of the role has a multi-linear balance exchange. In a word, baggage, don't stop. Achievement of "passionate like fire" consummate grotesque and ingenious. If you don't follow the routine yourself, you will let other imitators only follow the routine. Perfect
