There is a North that is the North in the eyes of others

Yesterday, I watched the French movie "Welcome to the North" on the recommendation of a friend. It felt very good, with typical French comedy elements.


The name of this movie when I saw it for the first time reminded me of two questions I asked a northern classmate a few years ago. The first is whether it is cold in Wuhan or your northeast, and the second is that it will really freeze penis in winter. Well!


At the beginning of the film, it was carried out in an absurd way. In order to please his wife, Cade Maillard, the leading actor, pretended to be disabled and applied to the post office chief in the south. The disabled director squeezed out the position. Of course, things didn't go as the hero wanted, and he was finally arranged to Begues, a remote northern town in France.


In order to go to the northern town of Begues, the husband and wife were well prepared. They entered a fake library, watched the weather in the north for a day, and visited a mysterious man. The down jacket is off.


Philip Abham, who just arrived in Bergs, found that he was out of place here. There was no tea but coffee. Everyone in the north drank and went to a dining car called "French Fries", but gradually he found that the people here were warm and hospitable. . To thank everyone for helping him find furniture, Philip Abham took everyone to a local restaurant and learned the local dialect "uh." Slowly Philip Abham fell in love with it.


When Philip got home and started talking to his wife about life in Beggs, Julie couldn't believe her husband was starting to like the place, and she even thought Philip was doing this on purpose to make her happy. In order to avoid his wife's suspicion, he began to describe the north as a hell-like life, and from then on began a divided life.


Until one day, his wife decided to take a look at Philip's life in hell. In desperation, Philip had to ask his colleagues to help him play the "barbarian" in the north. Unexpectedly, my wife discovered what the real north is like overnight.


In the finale, of course, the elector forgives him. Three years later, Philip got his wish and was transferred to the post office chief in the south. In fact, there is only one sentence that runs through the whole film. Outsiders who come to the north will cry twice, once when they come. , while walking.


Although this film uses the difference of life in the south of France and the north to carry out a full-scale hell black, but it is in this way of contrast that the protagonist walks into the northern town of Begues, and the director uses a lot of details. To reflect Beggs' lifestyle, for example, there is only coffee in the morning, and he will be warmly invited into the house for a drink when delivering a letter, and Philip returns home to steal his wife's perfume.


As the two questions at the beginning of this article, have not been, all misunderstandings.
There is a North that is the North in the eyes of others.
