At that time, I was still a young man who was deeply in love. Twenty-one years later, I feel as if nothing has changed. Although this film appeared occasionally in the later growth, I didn't have the urge to watch it again; although I was familiar with Belmondo at that time as a superstar no less than Alain Delon.
Until today, by a coincidence, I happened to read a web page for a whole day-about the colonial plundering of Africa and the competition between the great powers in Africa in recent years, let me find the film again for aftertaste... It can be regarded as looking back on the past, it is counted Completely understand the film.
After World War II, the global political pattern changed from chaos in Eurasia to bipolar confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. France, which has never chosen a side, began to slander the "Bretton Woods system" of the United States after the outbreak of the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979 (refer to the film "Escape from Tehran Blue"), and almost at the same time began to infiltrate the third world countries. France has exhausted political, financial, military, economic and other means to expand Africa on a large scale to expand its own interests and influence on the planet. The film is based on this background to tell a French story. (The film was produced in 1981) This
film can only be released in a relatively free country.
The film satirizes the authorities with strong dark humor.
A political victim, he questioned the authorities with his personal emotions throughout the film; he made things difficult for the authorities with his helpless fate. They also use the superb methods trained by the authorities to make the authorities helpless.
This kind of helplessness and embarrassment, self-confidence and loss pervade the entire film, reflecting the suspicion and irony of the French people about the French authorities' international political diplomacy.
It's no wonder that for many years, I remember the alias of the film "Death of the Crispy Beast", and the heart-wrenching violin melody...
