"You Escape Me Also" movie review

Maegan 2022-03-22 09:02:28

The English name of the film "You Run, I Run" is actually called "To be or not to be", "To be or not to be." Both refers to the classic when the inexperienced actors in the film often play Hamlet The lines also imply that people in World War II had their own choices between life and death. The whole film reveals in a humorous way the story of the German occupation of Poland during World War II, and the actors in the patriotic theater in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, planned to assassinate the Nazi spy, Professor Linzky, in order to defend the motherland. The humor of the actor who plays the Gestapo also makes the audience feel thrilled all the time. Once the actor exposes his fake identity, what awaits them must be death. (Picture 1) The actor Mr. Tula played the role of the Gestapo after killing Professor Slintsky, and then played Professor Slintsky to meet the real Gestapo, during which he used the dialogue in the script when he was a young actor, and also imitated Part of what the real Slintsky said before. Originally thought that the plot would be undiscovered and escape smoothly like the ideal movie, but the Gestapo discovered the real Slintsky's body, and the plot returned to a tense atmosphere... "Slintsky" is true and false, one corpse and one person Dramatically locked in a room with no background music, real and brutal scenes exposed naked to the audience. (Picture 2)

The theater actors united as a small force and rescued Mr. Tula by "cutting the Hu" in the name of arrest. In the end, actor Bronski played Hitler, and the whole crew had different roles, which bought important time for the Polish underground. It can be described as imaginative. A 42-year-old film, capable of designing many reversals and full character characters, exquisite details, military equipment and makeup props all reflect its full enthusiasm. This should be the first war movie I've seen about patriots of Polish Germanic origin (I've seen mostly Jewish protagonists before). Moreover, the costumes and temperament of the actors are one of the most restored film and television works of this era among many movies. Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, and the film was shot three years later, in 1942, before World War II ended, so it’s unclear what kind of story was hidden during the filming. (ends 1945)

    The first time I saw it when I was a kid was the color version, and I didn't get laughed at at the time (especially the part where "Hitler" was dropped in the UK at the end). Lubitsch is ruthless when he spoofs his motherland... (The "We also need to eat food..." in the play should be the first anti-racist thought I came into contact with.)

To Be or Not to Be quotes

  • Joseph Tura: [disguised as Professor Siletsky] I didn't like the way Captain Schultz shifted the responsibility back to you.

    Colonel Ehrhardt: Neither did I. You know there's always something wrong with a man who doesn't drink or smoke, doesn't eat meat.

    Joseph Tura: You mean our Führer?

    Colonel Ehrhardt: Oh, no! No, please, Professor! I hope you don't...

  • Maria Tura: Colonel, whatever you decide. If you want me...

    Colonel Ehrhardt: Naturally, I would have to know you a little better. That is my duty and, if I may say, my pleasure.
