The French are back

Haven't seen Luc Besson for a long time? At least, it has indeed been a long time since he actually picked up the guide tube. Yes, this guy has overseen countless goofy laughs and goofy action films over the years, including the TAXI trilogy, but none of this is him. Leon aside, remember Luc Besson in Subway and The big blue? He should be French first, then a director, and then a commercial director.
A rare black and white movie, the opening line "An American should shut up and let the whole world have the freedom to choose" is very popular. That's right, the Frenchie is back.
Luc Besson's urban fairy tale in which fallen angels save fallen souls. But in this fallen world, who else believes in angels?
Woody Allen said in "Death Showdown" that everyone has a unique death that belongs to him, and this death may also be a useless person. And Luc Besson gave everyone an angel, an angel who may not be perfect but makes you recognize yourself.
For the real Luc Besson, the film is still not good enough, the plot is rushed and not smooth, and I still like the soothing and powerful of "Subway". Fortunately, the Frenchman has created a classic shot of Angel-A and André flying in the air and then crashing into the Seine, which is especially shocking in black and white.
The Seine in black and white is beautiful.
