Think of a little and say a little

Although this ancient Wulitou doesn't have the more developed funny technology now, it is full of various classic spoof elements handed down, and more importantly, it has taboos that Hollywood does not dare to have now. The United States has lost this cultural confidence. The 1980s is indeed the best era, as can be seen from the pioneer works of the 70s.

Unfortunately, because it is in the early stage of the same type of film, from the current perspective, it is often dull. You have to wait patiently for the high-energy bridge to appear. It is better to watch the earlier classic comedies such as "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" or Chaplin's movies. The comedy style is indeed more able to withstand the polishing of time.

When we watch such old movies now, it feels very much like the hero in "Back to the Future" played the classics of the 1950s, directly suppressing the author's own relatives and driving all the audience crazy. However, when the protagonist played more and more high, and played until the 80s, the audience was dumbfounded and could not accept it. We are like traveling through the 80s, and we are used to seeing Zhou Xingchi, but people in the "50s" may pursue this kind of nonsense and can't accept the later ones.

But I still think that the U.S. pee is really rubbish now. A joke must first break the audience's expectations, which is the basic operating principle, and then it needs to be imagined to make people laugh and dig deeper into the aftertaste. Now the first step is hard to do in the United States, and then it starts to poop in a straightforward manner. It's really rubbish.

Another question is that by looking at the huge difference in the refreshment of the early Wushu and watching "Cat and Mouse", you can see that it is definitely a good thing to incorporate comic-style exaggeration into the movie. Of course, the two-dimensional and three-dimensional are very different, and it is important to integrate well.
