from "taxi"

I am a bit of a casual person, so when I watched "The Killer Isn't Too Cold", I didn't remember who the director was, except that I felt that the film was very good, or I remembered it at the time but then forgot about it. ; And when I watched "Blue Sea Love Sky", I still didn't remember who the director was, except that I felt the film was very good. Later, I finally knew who was who and who was who. It turned out to be Luc Besson.

I read "Taxi 1" and "Taxi 2" in succession. Ronnie and Emile, the one who is as smart as a monkey is a mess, and the other who is as stupid as a bear. The French are really romantic, and Besson is really good. He dares to make fun of the French police, and he drives so high. The French police are all Emile-style bears. They giggled when they were rectified. Once they were rectified, it did not count, and the next time was the next time. The most handsome is Ronnier's Peugeot Citroen. The most handsome moment is when Ronnier activates the device in ten seconds to complete an impossible passenger-carrying task and instantly upgrade his Peugeot Citroen to racing class. The deliberately manicured look on Ronnie's head that looks like a knife mark is also sexy, as dazzling as his car and his skills. A lot of drag racing scenes in the film are also addicting, coupled with the romance and humor of the French, this film - or the same sentence: very good!

Besides being good looking, I also thought of a few other things that had nothing to do with the movie and had something to do with the car.

After four years of reading in Wuhan, the most seen on the street is Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen. But I haven't seen a Peugeot Citroen like Ronnier in four years. Is it because the word "Dongfeng" is added in front? At first, I didn’t understand why there were so many Citroen in Wuhan. Later, I learned that Wuhan is a sister city of France, so the French symbol Citroen runs in the streets and alleys of Wuhan, as well as Carrefour, and three towns have its sites. After understanding this, I have understood "Beijing Hyundai", "Shanghai GM", "Guangzhou Honda" and so on. However, after I understand it and then think about it, it feels a bit wrong - why do I think this is not a so-called friendship city but a bit like a colony? ! Suddenly I remembered the classic "current situation map" in the history book - a map that uses animals to represent the Western powers to divide up China, for example, Tsarist Russia is a polar bear, the United States is a jaguar, and so on. I feel the same way now thinking about these cars. Later, I searched for this "current situation map" on Baidu, and guess what - there are really people who have the same idea as me - I found a "car current situation map", which is expressed in the same way as "current situation map" , but instead of drawing polar bears and leopards, the national flags of each country are placed over major cities in China, such as the red, white and blue flag over Wuhan, the Taiji flag over Beijing, the Stars and Stripes over Shanghai, and the flag over Guangzhou. The sun flag...



I have no intention of objecting, just seeing these facts, my heart is a little stinging. I feel a little heavy to write here. This is not my intention. Originally, I only intended to write about "Taxi Express", to write about the romance and humor of French people. As a result, the heavy weight of Chinese people made me think about these and write them. - Ha, not French after all!
