In Luc Besson's second film, Underground (1985), Fred the Golden Retriever robs Lorena's husband's safe. As everyone knows, this beautiful woman's husband is a wealthy celebrity, so how can Ma Zai give up. After searching all the way, the golden retriever had no way to escape, so he had to run into the subway. Golden Retriever pulled out Lorena's beautiful photos and some items from the safe. She was obviously more interested in herself than others, and the Golden Retriever, who couldn't help it, dared to call her and promised to return her belongings.
When the two met on the subway, it was love at first sight. Golden Retriever said I fell in love with you. Lorena, who seems indifferent, is of course also very interested in Golden Retriever's life. Later, after learning that Golden Retriever was wanted by the police, Lorena became more curious. So, she came to the subway when she had nothing to do, looking for golden retrievers everywhere.
At this time, Golden Retriever, who escaped from the police, met Lorna, a boy who used to steal pulleys, and then met a band living in the subway. Bodybuilding black Bill, helped Golden Retriever break the handcuffs. Interestingly, this band is from all over the world, and there are all kinds of people, but they enjoy themselves.
Hard work pays off. Lorena with the gun finally found the golden retriever, and like this, the two slowly got better. The world on earth and the world below are two worlds. The stunning Lorena is like a stunner from another world. And the golden retrievers can only live on the subway like a mouse.
Lorena asked what the golden retriever did before. He said that he started a band before and broke up without money. At this time, she was always in conflict. Love or not love is always Lorena's knot. On one side is the rich and powerful husband, and on the other side is the passionate and very down-to-earth Bill. She also has to deal with detectives from time to time. In an interesting scene, her husband took her to a politician's home banquet. Because she couldn't listen to the politician's wife's chatter, she responded, "I'm not interested at all in what you said," which made the politician's wife cry. Her husband asked her to apologize, but she got up and left arrogantly. Through this passage, we also know that Lorena does not belong to the world on earth. She just went underground.
What's interesting is that the film has exhausted the sarcasm of the sloppy detective who can't do anything. As incompetent as the detectives in Dumont's "Little Children." It turns out that the funny portrayal of the police in French films is also a legacy. They can't play on the ground, and they're even more useless on the subway. Except for the police detective who orders his subordinates to keep pouring coffee, or constantly asking the robbed passengers to fill out a useless form, or using "Batman" or something like false Apart from the name of the brain, nothing can be done at all. The arrogant battle is just a fake to scare people. In contrast, it is the golden retriever and the pulley boy who can come and go without a trace. They are affectionate and righteous, share difficulties, and enjoy cola.
Golden Retriever and Pulley Kid, determined to raise money for the band's desired stage performance. Easier said than done. After they succeeded, they were hunted down. The pulley boy was caught, but the golden retriever was safe and sound. He took a wad of money and finally let the band Ruyi take the stage with peace of mind. Just when the band was in full swing, Lorena came over with joy, but the golden retriever under the stage was shot by Lorena's husband's men. Lorena thought she could throw herself into his arms, but she didn't expect it to be a goodbye. Lorena hugged the fallen golden retriever, heartbroken. But the golden retriever smiled. He was embraced by his loved ones and fulfilled his wish for the band to perform on stage. He is satisfied. And the beautiful Lorena will eventually grow up against the wind in pain. At this time, the beautiful music drowned out Lorena's hoarse voice.
The young, bright and arrogant Isabelle Adjani starred side by side with Christopher Lamb, who was calm on the outside and fiery on the inside. Rearno, who first appeared on the screen, played jazz drums. Although he didn't have a line, he was considered cool, which also laid a solid foundation for his performance in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" many years later.
There are not too many movies about the subway, but it is really rare to be as cool and exciting as "Subway". The focus is on a group of people living in the subway. Habitual thieves, bands and florists, all colorful. With a bunch of useless funny police, it's even more funny and interesting. Although it cannot be said that it is vivid and fragrant, at least it is colorful. The people at the bottom of the powerful world are not just useless people who just want to beg. They have their own preferences and a real pursuit of a better life, just for the sake of life. When they were forced to help, they took the risk and embarked on the road of confrontation with the orderly world on the ground.
Obviously, the director, who was still young at the time, had his own in-depth thinking, and seemed to remind those in power to pay attention to the people at the bottom. For the filming itself, it is also a very difficult challenge, but Luc Besson did it. The use of mirrors for the subway in the film is superb. The underground kingdom that was ignored by people turned out to have a different kind of style painting, which was admirable and admirable. Time flies, and I don't realize that the film has been produced for 30 years, so here's a little graffiti to commemorate it, but it's a long-lost thought.
