Like children, Tati's films are all about messing with the adult world. With the changes in the world in 1958, he also began to confront the world. It is better to let Mr. Hulot make jokes or make mistakes in life, and avoid directly criticizing the way of life. Bazin called him a careless angel.
Opposite to the idyllic life in the suburbs of Paris, there is an electrical garden with a Mondrian color design. The petty bourgeoisie lives in it and enjoys an automated life. They live in their own world, rarely communicate with the outside world, and are content with a world of money. Especially like the round windows like two eyes, they and the fountain of dead fish, constitute a rich life like a monster. This is Tati's poetic expression.
His films have the function of soul purification.
