"Psycho" and "Vertigo" are thriller and suspense crime films, while "Acrophobia" is an alternative pure comedy. Even if the main line of the narrative is murder, incorporating elements of suspense, thriller, mystery, etc., it cannot be denied that it does frame the plot with a comedy atmosphere, exaggerates, satirizes, and spoofs social phenomena. And for this, he has been very tempted and thoughtful, and has withstood destructive disasters. It has the shadow of Hitchcock, but it completely follows the comedy line of Mel Brooks.
The result was Mel Brooks' comedic signature that gave the film its enduring appeal. He is good at remakes and has achieved a good reputation. His performance has not been affected, and he continues to be proud of being able to write, direct and act. Films like "Confused Detective", "Golden Producer", "Age of Empires" and other films are not unfamiliar to the audience, and for their counterparts in the industry, the remake of Mel Brooks' works has also become a climate.
At the beginning of the movie, a string of mischievous and excited notes swam in the seemingly "stunning" soundtrack, and then turned to ease the fear, watching the big bird swooping down into the wind in the camera, and the plane window showing happy faces one by one. Dr. Sendak (played by Mel Brooks) is different from other passengers because he is afraid of heights and has a look of fear on his face. His unusual inauguration journey with the audience starts from nervousness. It is not entirely possible to judge here that the comedy is biased, or it is deliberately playing tricks to try to make the crime suspense more ferocious. But when I came to the exit, I met a man who looked like an FBI and was taken into the public toilet by him. The effect was shocking, and there was no need to worry. This comedy is the main one.
The driver, Boffi, is an unforgettable character, utterly endearing. He is a photography enthusiast, and he has been in a mental hospital for a long time, and his whole person is also very different. There is not much wrong with people, but he can make you feel that "failures" are everywhere. Boffi, a driver sent by the mental hospital, "caught" Dr. Sendak, who was still in shock, outside the airport. The professional quality of the paparazzi, slap slap, and the camera shutter was fast. It may be that with the artistic talent of photography, he is as weak as a certain kind of artist. Don't let him do physical work. That is his weakness. He says "I got it. I got it", regardless of the importance , he promises not to. It's not a problem, the lengths complement each other. At the end of the movie, when Dr. Sendak is framed, it's absolutely safe to say that Boffi's photo had a role, although it didn't do much, and even put him in danger. But the role of his character is quite weighty in this play. The great wisdom is like a fool, the brave is fearless, and the little people are also of great use.
The characters in the mental hospital are also well-designed jokes. Nurse Deezer, the vice president, the doctor with the yin and yang beard, and the hired killer with braces, sarcasm and mockery are posted everywhere. From every move, to the costume background, exaggerated performances, avant-garde stance, and imprints of spoofing life phenomena are extremely dazzling. The tapered corset that covers Nurse Deezer is quite advanced. When Sister Mai leads the fashion of conical bras, I don't know if she has communicated with Nurse Deezer. Of course, even if I challenged the nerves that were not very open at the time in the 1970s, in the most suitable occasion of a mental hospital, they mixed morbid and unusual, and generously spoofed SM, conspiracy, pretended to be ghosts, and turned humans into beasts, but it was a serious interpretation. Weird, serious attitude, but can take the plot seriously when watching it, and laugh deeply.
Mr. Brisbane, an entrepreneur who was forcibly imprisoned in a mental hospital, is the target to be rescued. Dokin's boss status makes nurse Deezer and doctor Charlie have bad thoughts. Mr. Brisbane's role is only in the final rescue. The important character is Miss Brisbane. In order to rescue her father, she met the doctor Sendak. The two "died on the day of birth" together. Beauty returns. Miss Brisbane's favorite VB brand, a spoof of LV, is everywhere, from head to toe, from bags to cars, and is more publicized than the upstarts. The hostess has a lot of money, which corresponds to the poor girl who embezzled public funds in "Psycho", but it breaks away from the routine of answering questions in "Psycho" and focuses on rescue and the ultimate happiness. This kind of comedy is usually used at the end In a way that complements the context of the entire remake.
There is also a dark line in it, which is the origin of Dr. Sendak's fear of heights, a subject that the absurd but not confused old professor studies. The foreshadowing of hypnosis, a seemingly simple mental obstacle, is actually giving birth to a more serious implication, alluding to the influence of the family environment on children. This is in line with the family environment of the male protagonist in "Psycho", but the realistic color of horror is diluted, and everything is mainly entertainment.
The part where Doctor Sendak was bathing in the hotel was the most successful spoof. Doctor Sendak's posture and the ink on the newspaper were all so familiar and unfamiliar. I agree with him that the restless and unreasonable waiter has no tip. And other amusing memories of Dr. Sendak can’t be dismantled too much. The form and the god coexist, and many of them are shaped by language. One thing that impressed me was the part where he introduced his name to Miss Brisbane, where he interpreted the "H" in "Dr.Richard H.Thorndyke" on the badge as "handsome", saying that the first The second time I was embarrassed, I changed it to "Harpo". This person is quite good at taking the opportunity to recommend himself. When his heart is swaying, he tries to show that he is a normal mentality, and the mental hospital can't handle it.
If you simply want to watch a comedy, this remake will not let you down, and you can feel the American scenery in the 1970s. Mel Brooks is very loyal to the original master when he moves the camera, but he can still Enjoy the beauty captured by the camera, fun and entertainment.
