Formalizations that do not serve life are just empty appearances.

"My Uncle", the starting point of the title is to observe all kinds of adult world from a childlike perspective. Uncle Huluo is the window of "my" interesting life, and life should not be boring and hypocritical. Formalization that does not serve life is empty and empty. The most important prop in the whole film, the fish head fountain, the irony behind the comic laughter could not be more indifferent. People in the old city, you come and I go to the parents, the disputes and noise are also full of life breath, the color is bright and yellow, and the soundtrack is so happy that the characters seem to be rhythmic.
The movie as a whole is very interesting. Tati has a good grasp of the rhythm of the comedy. There are only three actions, and there is always a joke at the end. There are also a few very labelled supporting roles, and the repeated behavior produces laughing fruit. Tati is kind, and finally "I" grabbed Dad's hand, and Dad also showed one of the few smiles in the whole film. This is life.

    Godard said it well, Tati is interested in "everything and nothing". In fact, I think the two kinds of life that are typed by Tati are cute~ If you can't live without freedom, then there is nothing better, just choose One of them or the other.

    It's not funny in the legend, the part where a few children bet on who will hit the pole, and the part where the fountain is turned on when the guests come are very interesting.
