The more absurd the more serious

Origin France. A movie that is quite old and still has traces of silent films. This is a disc I bought at the audio-visual store at the gate of Huada for a long time. Now I have verified it and said it is a good film, so I watched it with him in the name of sharing. Ashamed, I was always very enthusiastic when I bought the disc, but it took a long time to wait for the mood to watch the film.

OST enjoys it very much. With the psychology of the little people, the heart also gently follows the beat rhythm, which is vivid and icing on the cake. In contrast, "Atonement," which just won the Oscar for best music a few weeks ago, was too bravado.

Let's talk about the plot. It's absurd from start to finish, shattering order, downplaying good and evil, and creating gimmicks. But we were willing to jump in circles with this farce. This feeling is very similar to watching "White Cat and Black Cat" before, full of joy and satisfaction. It's not hard to guess the director's intentions, each character is tagged with iconic behavior, such as the couple who turned on the fountain before opening the door, and the little old man who always has a pile of rubbish to sweep but always loves to mess with people. , There is also a woman who laughs more terrifyingly than crying, but Mr. Hu Luo is a little troublesome, neither entangled nor at ease. There are many figures and no one is there. His role is incomplete, and because of this incompleteness, it brings reverie.

Director Jacques Tati, the best comedy master of the 1950s and 1960s, has a trilogy around Hulot, who wears a large trench coat, shorts and check socks, always carries an umbrella by his side, and always has a pipe in his mouth. ------- "Mr. Hulot's Holiday", "My Uncle" and "Playtime". I might have a chance to check out the other two.

    Watching this kind of movie, if you want to give a low score, you have to bear the pressure of appearing to be unartistically literate. But it's really funny, I almost thought it was based on Maupassant's "My Uncle Jules"
