Timeless classics and laughter

Time can take away a lot of things, those that it can't take away may be classics.

"Seven Chances" is the third movie I watched today. I thought there would be states such as drowsiness and nausea, but I didn't expect the film to be very catchy from the beginning.

Jimmie Shannon's attempted lovemaking for several consecutive seasons gives the illusion that it looks like a literary film for the first 20 minutes. But the moment the testament of the hero's grandfather appears, the comedy factor of the film bursts out.

People in the whole room are laughing in different directions. A movie without lines can only move people by its exquisite plot, and the unconventional "burdens" one by one.

Not every film needs to be shocking and memorable after 90 minutes. After watching the life of a middle-class American in 1925 for more than 50 minutes, I laughed until my stomach was tangled. After more than 80 years, people still applaud on the spot. Show good, and only the classics of the classics can do.

Which films are rarely given five stars, Seven Chances is one of them.

    8.4/10. 56 minute version. ①The male protagonist who was in financial crisis received a surprise inheritance of 7 million from his grandfather, but the condition was that he had to start getting married before 7 o'clock today, so he was single and went around looking for someone to propose. ②The part of the proposal group (and the chase scene after that) is the funniest and most exciting. The three parts of referring to the wrong proposer, taking off the head at the shampoo shop, and wanting to kiss but being interrupted by the dog that came out are not bad. The other parts are relatively unsatisfactory ( Most of the lines are funny). PS: This deep focus lens is quite a lot. ③ Some racist jokes that discriminate against blacks and Jews.

    Wow, hahaha, the middle section actually feels like using the keyboard to control Buster Keaton to avoid Gollum's stone!
