Story background: In August 1939, shortly before Germany invaded Poland, a very good comedy, with dense laughs, but natural, not contrived. To borrow someone else's sentence: There are two kinds of comedy films: one is played by Lubitsch , one is that Lubitsch plays the rest. The plot is ups and downs, twists and turns, and successfully attracts attention. The play portrays the patriotism, wit and bravery of the troupe members. The relationship between the protagonists is a strange love triangle, but Reasonable, in the face of disaster, unanimous to the outside world, focusing on the country. There are many intriguing points, the first is the movie title To be or not to be. This is also the line when the protagonist plays Hamlet, and it is also Sobinski when the protagonist's husband Joseph plays The timing of the tryst with Maria, the husband from the first thought that he was unattractive in acting to the anger and helplessness after learning the facts, showed it most vividly at the end. Then there is the part of disguising the role, first of all, disguised as an admiral to prevent the leakage of confidential information , when everything was going well, but because Joseph was worried about his wife, he was found out and eventually killed the professor. The plot also began to make Joseph disguise as a professor. When visiting the general for the first time, there were also many interesting points that were not straightforward. It's funny, but when I understand it, it's meaningful and a knowing smile. Such as "I don't want the Führer to destroy you", and the most interesting thing is the full jealousy that Joseph took from the general's mouth as a professor. Sobinski's message. No. During the second visit to the general, Joseph's wit, calmness, and courage were extraordinary, but there was another turning point. The troupe's personnel disguised a group of people from the head of state again. There was a scene in the play, and the generals who were not high in IQ were fooled around. But the admiral's subordinate Skooze is still a little wary. The heroine Maria is also very smart and meticulous in the scenes with the professor, Skooze, and the admiral. The multiple rounds of dialogue and temptation fully reflect her adaptability and mind. Behind the meticulous is the disguised Führer, the admiral saw the disguised Führer, and criticized Skooze, which led Skooze to commit suicide, what a stupid admiral, a loyal and loyal subordinate. There are also many intriguing places, such as Joseph and Sobinski When saying goodbye to Maria, Joseph allowed him to say goodbye, but after hearing him call her Maria, he walked over,Sobinski changed her words to Ms Tura. And it was Joseph who took the door in the end. After escaping on the plane, the Fuhrer asked the soldiers to jump off the plane. B: I was born here A: What made you decide to die here? B: He (referring to Hitler) A: What do you want from the Führer? B: What does he want from us? He wants from Poland What? Why? Why? Aren't we human? Do we have no eyes? No hands... Organ-sensory scales affect enthusiasm Eating the same thing Being wounded by the same weapon... Suffering from the same disease Healing in the same way Having the same cold Winter and warm summer If you pierce us won't we bleed? If you tickle us won't we laugh? If you poison us won't we die? If you treat us wrong can we Revenge?
