The originator of Broadway's KUSO

The name "Age of Empires" is not as good as another name, "A History of Crazy Mankind".
This film somehow only shot the first one.
Judging from the time taken to complete the filming, this epic, song and tearful (with tears of laughter) giant production can be described as a super gorgeous collection of nostalgic retro and era-crossing spoofs.
Here I have to pay tribute to the Broadway ghost Mel Brooks.
Sure enough, a genius of Jewish descent. I have to admire ~~~ I
have always wanted to watch his "spaceballs". It is said that the latter few films of Lu's Star Wars before the 80s came to a large collection of KUSO.
Basically, remakes of classic or orthodox movies or using various bridges to subvert the inconsistency are the best in my mind.
In "A History of Crazy Mankind", you can see this kind of wonderful creativity.
For example, in the primitive age, how humans used sticks to stun their partners and drag them back to the cave to rectify the law on the spot to reproduce the next generation. And the first Homo sex act was purely wrong after being injured by mistake. —_—||||Lao

Mei almost has to do it in person in her self-directed films. It is also because of his joyful expression, rich body language, good singing, acting, dancing, and writing. Written, and composing. The once famous Broadway drama "The Producers" came from him. Not only writing, but also on the big screen in the 1960s, even the tracks in the play were edited by himself. It's really a multi-talented wizard. The film has now been remade again, and I am also extremely looking forward to seeing how old Mei Shuai's second-hand Broadway lineage will reproduce this ironic comedy on the screen.

It is said that human beings have transformed into civilization from primitive times. Moses (also dressed as Lao Mei) took three slabs of stone from God, yes, in Lao Mei, these were three. Moses shouted, man, come and listen to me about God's 15 commandments~~~~~ accidentally broke a piece, Moses quickly changed his words, listen to me about God's ten commandments~~~~╭( ̄m ̄) ╮

In the blink of an eye, it was Roman times. It is another weird series of stories, from the past to the present. For example, the black slave on the main hall square actually carries the radio on his shoulders. Just like the hip-hop rapper on the streets of New York, the actress is sitting on the slum and chewing gum. In order not to be killed, another black slave emphasized his entertainment role, so he could sprinkle sand on the spot and jumped TAP DANCE on it.
who is he? He is the black dance king Gregory Hines in the tap dance world. It's not this film, I'm afraid no one knows that the dance king not only dances well, but also the comedy cell is so developed. He pretended to be an eunuch and was danced in front of beautiful women to test the hardness of his lower body, which was quite gimmicky.
Not only that, but he was still wisely blocking the pursuit of soldiers on the way to a temporary escape. It was to pull all the leaves from a marijuana bush and wrap it in paper with a cannabis cannon. In the end, all the Roman soldiers who were chasing after him also jumped up the male Boogiewoogie with their arms in prop clothes. Worship! ! ! ○( ̄﹏ ̄) ○

After this, it was even more spoof, Lao Mei and her group hid in an inn in the country. As a buddy, Lao Mei entered a room with a private meeting hanging by mistake. The people inside, you guessed it, were the 13 buddies who were pulling at the Last Supper. Everyone banged Lao Mei out. Lao Mei shouted angrily, Ye Su. Jesu said, what? Lao Mei said, what what? Yesu said, what did you say first. Lao Mei is crazy, call Yesu! ! Jesú was angry with wonder, and shouted: What! ! !
It's so hilarious~~~~ Lao Mei, you are a Jew, how can we use our god son to get rid of it like this? ! !
One person also came in. This man looked like a spaghetti cook. Undoubtedly, this was Leonardo. When I came up, I greeted everyone familiarly. It seemed that they were all neighbours. Then when they saw that they were sitting around the table, they were anxious and shouted: "How can this work? Let me sit aside."
As a result, the great work of "The Last Supper" has been able to copy and set a great style historically. If you pay attention, the light circle on the back of Jesu's head is exactly the silver tray that Lao Mei is holding in her hands with a flattering expression.

After that, there was the medieval religious court. The gloomy castle has completely become the scene of the stage show. The cardinal played by Lao Mei didn't talk about the Broadway singing and dancing with other priests in black, but also made the black monks dance the thigh dance one by one. In the end, the nuns came on stage, the floor of the execution ground rose, and the blue light was shining in the water prison. The nuns pulled their teaching robes and turned them into water hibiscus wearing only swimsuits. This is the classic scene in "The Water Lotus". Brought KUSO again.
It's really amazing.

In the last part of the French Revolution, the spoofs were not so brilliant. It may be due to lack of funding and energy towards the end. Although the second part never appeared on Lao Mei's production list, there was a teaser for the second part after the end. It is estimated to be an idea in the production process of the first part, such as the Jewish five-pointed star-shaped spacecraft, spoofing the air battle scenes in "Star Trek", every victory, the pilot dressed in Jewish traditional costume — _—|||| Dancing with a waistcoat and so on.

It's a spoof, but in fact, Lao Mei's film is not only completely meaningless, but it is really well made. Filming in Rome has the feeling of "Benxu", and filming French court films is also used as a background.
After reading it, think about it, maybe this is the reason why "Screaming" has been popular for three consecutive titles. There are always people who don't like official history. We just like the mess to be happy, let the seriousness go away.
