I watched "Tulip Fangfang" on CCTV-6 a few years ago, but unfortunately I can't watch it all the time. I started watching it from the second half, but the picture of the man in the white shirt stroking the Western sword in a dashing way has always been the case. deep impression! My white shirt complex may be formed like this! Haha
(I have always stubbornly believed that only a very clean boy can wear a simple white shirt handsomely, and also stubbornly believed that such a boy can deserve the word "handsome"!! Even stubbornly looking for such a boy The boy became a boyfriend!!)
When I was a sophomore, I got a computer, so I downloaded this movie and watched it. It has been on the computer for a long time, but I didn’t have the courage to watch it until today. Maybe I was afraid that I didn’t remember it when I watched it. So beautiful, I am afraid it is the beautification of memory. But fortunately, the result did not disappoint me, it was as good as I remembered!
The story takes place in the period of Louis XV in France, when social unrest is known as the "Lace War Era". Fangfang (Fan Shang Perret) is a young man born in the countryside. His parents are unknown. He is rambunctious by nature, but has a sense of justice, and has extraordinary skills (it is estimated that he was trained by the girl's family all day long). He ran away from home to escape his marriage to the landowner's daughter, and just when he was at a loss for his future, a beautiful gypsy girl took a palm reading for him, and she predicted that if he joined the French army, he would have a brilliant future future, because he was destined to marry the daughter of the most noble princess of France, King Louis XV.
Fangfang believed it to be true. At this time, he encountered an army that was recruiting and buying horses. Wasn't this God's will? So Fangfang signed up without hesitation, and when all the formalities were completed, he realized that the girl who told his fortune was none other than Adelina (Penelope Cruz), the niece of the sergeant of the Legion. The way, since I was tricked into joining the army, let's settle down for now.
By chance, Fangfang encountered several robbers on the way back to the camp who were robbing a female relative on a carriage. She would take action when it was time to do so. The three-legged cat robbers were naturally not the opponents of our hero Fangfang. What's more, it was the daughter of Louis XV, Princess Enriette who was rescued by him! Fangfang almost knelt down and thanked God. In order to meet the princess again, Fangfang tried her best to sneak into the king's castle in the middle of the night, but the princess' memory was so bad that she didn't even remember the savior at all. The guards came to arrest him. Is there anything more unfortunate than this? Fangfang was eventually outnumbered, and she was captured and sentenced to death.
On the other hand, Adelina, who has long been fascinated by Fangfang, does not hesitate to persuade Louis XV (Didier Bourdon) to release Fangfang. Unexpectedly, the king coveted her beauty, not only did not let Fangfang go, but put her under house arrest. At a critical moment, Fangfang, who had been unlucky all the time, finally turned around. An accident during the execution set him free. He hurried to rescue Adelina, but inadvertently spied on an enemy's conspiracy. Fangfang's sense of justice suddenly became apparent. The attack, for the king, for France, and of course for himself, he fought hard to stop the conspiracy and captured the enemy's supreme commander.
Things calmed down, France and the war brushed past. As a reward, Louis XV promised Fangfang a princess who turned out to be his newly adopted adopted daughter, Adelina.
Every nation has its own folk heroes and knights, Fangfang is called "Zorro of France", he is the embodiment of the French spirit and a legendary hero spread among the folk. However, compared with Zorro, Fangfang reflects the characteristics of the French more, a little less serious, a little more frivolous, a little less serious, and a little more romantic. In history, Fangfang was a real person who once existed, but the legendary elements were also far more than reality. In fact, he was a sergeant in the French army who became famous at the Battle of Fontenoy against the British on May 17, 1745, and has since been quickly deified in a series of legends. In 1819 he reappeared in a song written by Emile Debraux - "Go on, tulips! Yes, go to hell! Go!"
Later, Fangfang became a fictitious legend: handsome and full of youthful energy, he was never short of beauties and wine. His image has been brought to the screen several times: in 1907 Alice Gay directed a black and white silent film, and in 1926 Rene LePrince starred in an eight-act film with Em Simon Girard. The 1952 film directed by Christian Jacques and starring Chanla Philippe was the most successful, and brilliantly created the image of a folk hero who loves life, is energetic, lively and escapes, full of adventurous spirit and a sense of justice.
This is a remake based on the 1952 version of "Tulip Fang Fang", which was produced and written by the famous Luc Besson and directed by the famous French comedy director Gerard Krausec. Krausek has directed "Taxi Express 2", which set the highest box office record in France, and "Green Mustard", which is familiar to Chinese audiences. In the film, Fang Fang is played by French chief handsome Vincent Perret, while his lover is played by Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz, and she insists that she speaks French without dubbing. It is worth mentioning that the 1952 version of "Tulip Fang Fang" has become a household name and has become a classic in French film history, so the challenges faced by the remake are very great, and I am afraid that only a master like Luc Besson dares to challenge such a classic. It's legendary.
What kind of environment created such a man, he is like a gust of wind, a gust of unruly wind. Perhaps it is this kind of temperament that attracts so many women! When he was caught by an angry father and forced to marry a "persecuted" girl, someone tried to stop him by committing suicide! ! !
I have to mention the heroine in the film, Adelina, played by the great Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz, and she insists that she speaks French without dubbing. I was fortunate to hear her wealthy in the film. The characteristic low voice is not sweet, but it has a low and charming taste. (As an aside: her performance in Vanilla Sky is also very good, directly making up for what Tom Cruise lacks)
There are also many innocuous jokes in the movie, such as a priest who is cheating and greedy for cups, a little bit of defending his "comrade-in-arms" and defending Fangfang: a colonel with a face full of "flour", doing his best to defend a "beautiful scruff"; The king who doesn't know the reason for the war, doesn't even know the color of his soldiers' uniforms, can't tell the difference between himself and the other side; the minister who only wants to make money, sells the medals blessed by the king at a high price... The
whole movie is full of the romantic adventurism of the French , the color of the picture is soft, the costume design is also very beautiful, and the director's skills are really super strong. It is a movie that every girl who is still fantasizing about the appearance of "Prince Charming" can't miss it!!!
Finally, end this essay with the opening remarks of the movie. Now, I believe that people who have seen this opening line will be interested in this film: "War is a collective movement of those who are greedy. When the war gradually began, swords and lights and swords shadowed, and people fell to the ground, but the war continued. In the strife with its neighbors, thousands of years have passed, and weapons have improved greatly - flint throwing weapons, and gun barrels that use gunpowder, commonly known as cannons. It's getting serious, humans will aim farther, the provocateur can attack from a distance, but it's not improving understanding..."
