French humor

I almost finished watching "Taxi Express" with a smile. This is Luc Besson's director's work. "Taxi Express" has a series of one, two and three. It is said that the first series in 1998 has won the first box office in France. . The second series I’m watching is the second series, which was shot in 2002.

Last year, I saw the American blockbuster "Taxi Biaohua". I have to admire the Americans’ plagiarism ability. In other words, the world’s Drag racing movies will always be copied and copied. There is always a driver who does not want to be a policeman and is facing the police. He is a taxi driver; there is also a driver who can't learn to drive, but has a beautiful boss, girlfriend, and good friends who can drive. Help; there is always a group of stupid police colleagues; always encounter terrorists or bad guys such as bank robberies; ...

Americans use their skills naturally in "Taxi Biaohua". Personal heroism finally put the driver who helped the police catch the bad guys on the championship stage of the international competition; while the French are always loyal to life, the racers surpassed the runners in the mountain race all the way, and even surpassed the first place, just for the sake of Going to an appointment: He made an appointment with his girlfriend's parents that day, and by the way, he drove the big belly to the hospital to have a baby.

American humor is reflected in technical effects and different living habits or language. The French film is not strong in color, and does not intend to achieve their goals through visual effects. They often value the effect of behavior. The humor of the French in performances is attributed to the fact that they have always been very rigorous, and their rigor makes you I have to believe that there is such a group of human beings who live seriously but cannot make people laugh without laughter.

The French general in the movie is scorching the cowardly stool? Today's young people hate the police, rebel soldiers, and they are against everything. Rebelling against authority and wanting to ruin the image of his father. The same line, Americans may not be funny, French people, then you can't help but not laugh. This is probably the essence of the performance. French General Shaking his head and steadfastness, even if the truth bursts out of his old man's mouth, it has become a joke.

If you let me choose, maybe I am more loyal to French works. Although many people can't bear their seriousness and dullness. French film music is rarely overwhelming and irritates you to get excited with it; on the contrary, its musical nature It is more inclined to humorous colors and to pure rhythmic beats. Its existence seems to be the background of a humorous drama, setting off the black humor of the performance. And American music. When actors need to speak, they must be inserted in the music. In the quieter gap, and then after the speech, there was rumbling music again, reminding the audience that the game had started again.

A detail in the film made me laugh: the chief of police lifted the silver on the Peugeot. When the music sounded, the police chief began to introduce the new product car developed by his country, with a trace of pride and inviolability. The music that sounded at this time was not any formal gorgeous music, but similar to that in China's 1980s commercials. This kind of special is really true, but in fact, everyone knows what is the fake model fake accompaniment (I don't know where to get it).
Immediately after, the police chief introduced the excitement, a shot of the car, the AIRBAG in the front seat (Air bag) suddenly bounced, and the poor driver who was sitting in the driver's seat was stunned by the bounced air bag, and he was immediately unconscious. The protagonist who was hiding behind a military commander seriously commented: This car The anti-theft function is good.

After the whole movie, the driver drove a taxi to follow the parade team. The driver absently said to a foreign guest, a minister of Japan, if you send you to the rostrum, you will go down and I will go home.
This is the French. Humor. Return to humor, life to life. After the incident,

what should I do, and live a quiet life. Watching French movies. It often makes me understand what life is. Life is the ad slogan, "Infinitely happy, happening at any time" There is no need for a gorgeous music background, no need for a rich and colorful city landscape, no need for a particularly good-looking protagonist and car, as long as life is fun, jokes are casually picked up, and humor is everywhere, then this experience It is incomparable.
After watching , I can't help but go to see 1 and 3. This is the charm of French humor.
