I can't seem to laugh at the first half. Isn't this office and restaurant my experience before going to the movies? !

Office = subway station; Royal Garden restaurant = Pizza Hut

I walked from the subway entrance of Line 15 to the subway entrance of Line 8 to eat. Pizza Hut gave me a noodle and ignored me. After a long time, the order was successfully ordered. It was a cup of warm green orange tea, and I drank it for a long time. , and finally ended up with a pitiful plate of grilled wings.

There was an aunt with two children at the table next to it. The aunt was dressed plainly and behaved vulgarly. The cup in the hand of the youngest child dropped, and the cup rolled from the table to the chair next to the other girl at an extremely slow speed. When it got to the ground, the girl didn't move, just watched it smash to the ground with a snap, and the aunt looked at the waiter with a guilty conscience, but no one paid attention, so she calmly called the waiter to come over and urge the order. The broken glass was still on the ground until I walked away.

After leaving the restaurant, I thought I was going to take Line 15. I walked up and down the ground of Line 8. It was the same as Mr. Hulot's house in "My Uncle". When I got to Line 15, I found out that I was going to take Line 8. , keep going up and down and go back. I got a taxi on the subway but couldn't make it, and after I canceled it, I couldn't get a taxi again.

So it wasn't until, until the last amusement park scene that I was really happy, woohoo woohoo.

    #2017North Film Festival# A real "group play", a group play of a large group of people~ From a fully modern labyrinth office building to a high-end restaurant with constant problems, there is no protagonist, only the next character is constantly brought out The last character ~ This satirizes the casual nature of the French, and the portrayal of the Americans is even more distinct. Because a lot of glass is used, the borrowing and reflection are very good in this film. What is valuable is that this is very advanced humor.

    Playing on the modern age of the city, the length of the film is rich in details, and it is the kind of movie that gets extra points every time you watch it again. Tati is not only a comedy master, but also an architect and props maker and inventor who does not hesitate to lose money. He is also a uniformed leg controller. The super-large format shows the movement in the space. The composition is simply the gospel of obsessive-compulsive patients. Use to create a silent film-like environment with front and rear depth of field. 4K restoration of Beijing Film Festival Archives. 2021.5.28 The retrospective exhibition of the Archives is revisited, and the transformation of viewers and performers present and absent is also very wonderful.
