In last year's "Qi Hua Shuo Season 4", there was a debate topic: Do you think the wedding should be done?
At that time, not only did the contestants chat with red ears on the show, but also set off an upsurge of discussion on the Internet. One side said that the wedding was full of copper smell and became a competition between family and friends; the other side said that the wedding was a ceremony and a testimony to the happiness of the two people's marriage.
Whether the wedding needs it or not, at least every girl will have a romantic wedding fantasy. Or longing for a dreamy wedding, or wishing for an undistinguished wedding. I've heard about the groom running away from the wedding at the wedding scene, and I've seen the bride lose ten pounds after getting married...
Of course, what we are going to talk about today is not whether the wedding is necessary or not, but a movie related to the wedding - "No Coincidental Marriage".
How difficult is it to hold a wedding? Perhaps the protagonist in the movie, Max, has the most say.

The directors of the film are Olivier Nacash and Eric Toledano.
In 2011, the two directors directed a classic French warm comedy "Untouchable" together , creating a film critic miracle with zero bad reviews in that year.
"Unreachable" stills
After six years of absence, they joined forces again in 2017 to present this heartwarming and inspirational "No Coincidental Marriage". After the film was released, it also received excellent reputation and praise. In the nomination list of the "French Caesar Film Award", which is known as the "French Oscar", it was nominated for 10 awards.
It can be said that "No Coincidental Marriage" once again allows us to appreciate the warmth and beauty of French humor.
Today is a difficult day for the actor Max, the owner of a wedding company.
Early in the morning, he met a couple who were nitpicking in order to save money on their wedding, and in a fit of anger, he sneered away at the couple (what about the good customer first?).
But this is just the beginning of Max's "mourning" for the day. Because of the wedding in the lavish 17th-century castle in the city center, Pierre, the "narcissist" groom, just wanted to make the wedding his own show.
The wedding scene was also in constant situation. As soon as Max arrived, he saw Adele, a black girl , roaring and arguing with DJ James. Not only that, Adele lost his temper and quarreled with all his colleagues today.
This DJ James also gave Max a headache, because he played big names and sang his "conventional" songs in his own way, completely disregarding the music style of wedding planning.
The photographer Gai , who feels good about himself , not only took pictures absent-mindedly, but also stole food from the wedding, broke the mobile phone of the guests, and even hooked up with the groom's mother using social software just after he learned to use the mobile app from an intern.
The most bizarre thing is Max's brother-in-law Julian , who came to work wearing a pair of floral pajama pants, and even went after the bride at the wedding scene. It turned out that the bride was his dream lover when he was young!
After that, Max finally overcame many difficulties, and the wedding celebration began immediately. However, bad things always happen one after another...
The main course beef for the dinner was all expired, which resulted in no main course for dinner.
Bands who ate these at work meals were collectively sick and unable to play music.
The groom prepared a thick speech and spoke for three hours at the banquet, and the scene was drowsy.
DJ James violated the client's previous instructions and even let the guests wave their napkins.
I thought it was the ultimate surprise to turn the situation around. The groom drove a hot air balloon in the air to show his love to the bride, but Adele and James, who were pulling the hot air balloon rope, let the hot air balloon go and kissed passionately!
In the end, two employees caused fireworks to explode due to manipulation errors, resulting in power outages at the wedding banquet...
This farce-like wedding was about to ruin Max's career. But the most romantic French people will always give a warmest and romantic ending in the most depressing experience.
A little suspense is reserved here, so that everyone has a little fantasy about the happy ending of the movie.
I think if you like French humor, you must be very fond of the movie "No Coincidence". In the film, not only the leading actor Jean-Pierre Bakry's skillful lines are used to please the audience, but also the excellent acting and speech of a bunch of supporting characters, which makes the film's humor more saturated.
For example, the humorous dialogue between photographer Guy and the intern; the bickering between Adele and James, etc., each actor made the audience laugh through humorous lines and expressions.
We all know that the French are a country that pursues romance and humor very much. Similarly, in French comedy films, directors are very particular about the setting of lines. Often, the dialogue in a film can well show the effect of comedy. , rather than relying solely on the actors' facial expressions and exaggerated body movements.
More importantly, the actor's lines can always penetrate into the hearts of the audience, making the audience feel both humorous and aftertaste.
For example, in the scene that impressed me the most, when Max went to get beef back to the wedding, Adele told him the bad news: "There was an old man who choked on meringue pie." Max asked her how she dealt with it. , Adele replied with a serious expression: "Dead, we put his body in the cold storage."
The atmosphere instantly changed from the tension at the beginning to interesting. There are actually many such dialogues throughout the film, including the protagonist Max, photographer Guy, DJ James, and brother-in-law Julian. pregnancy.
Mr. Lin Yutang pointed out in the article "On Humor": "Humor is a part of life, so when a country's culture has reached a certain level, humorous words must appear."
The humor of French films is not only reflected in the plot, but also in the eloquence of the lines. It can be said that "No Coincidental Marriage" is another classic that presents French humor.
What is even more commendable is that this movie is also the same as "Unreachable". In the joyful laughter and the self-deprecating self-deprecating life, the viewers can still feel a strong sense of warmth from it.
The director did not deliberately exaggerate the helplessness in life and work. Instead, he highlighted the realism through comedy effects, and finally set a perfect curtain call to make the whole film emotionally noisy.
"No Coincidental Marriage" is true, maybe what it conveys to us is the yearning for beauty.
