Plain humor

This is Luc Besson's movie that I have been looking forward to for a long time. When I want to buy it, people always sell three of them together, always challenging my wallet. Suddenly, I scattered a TAXI1, and I quickly bought it and took a look at it.

Almost known before the plot, a crazy Peugeot taxi driver, by mistake, helped his most hated policeman, and this is a super stupid super stupid typical of what is wrong, what is going to be done. Guys, deal with a group of thieves from Germany driving a Mercedes. The final ending, of course, is complete.

I've always finished reading it with a smile. The French has very low humor. He won't let you grin and laugh endlessly like watching an American sex comedy. The humor of the French is revealed from the person itself, rather than expressed in vulgar lines and exaggerated body language.

For example, the last smile made by the female staff member of the car management office who was unsmiling and talking super fast, the old man in a suit and leather shoes was sitting in the car, his facial muscles were twitching constantly, and the police did not know who he was fighting in the fierce gunfight on the street, fool. The police saw the actions of the Koreans and went straight to the trunks of others, the inexplicable friendship and mutual assistance between the old lady and the little beauty, the indecent behavior of the fool police to the female boss, etc., etc. The humor seemed to be that simple, and it was naturally revealed. , It makes you laugh easily. Yes, it's not humor, but trickery.

A movie that is blunt car, of course, indispensable crazy speed scenes, I suddenly remembered Michael Bay, he is the king of Hollywood scenes, his car chase scenes often cost tens of millions of dollars, and then full of rollovers and explosions. . The car chases here are like rollovers and crashes, and there are everything that should be. The scene is not that big, but it looks comfortable. When more and more movies gave up their efforts on complex plots, and simply began to accumulate people's efforts in front of the computer, we have begun to get tired of those so-called special effects. I prefer to watch such a speeding car. The driver will call the police to take pictures and take pictures. The speed of the speeding car will be explained by his scratching the speedometer. The protagonist will tell you with practical actions that driving 190 is often safer than driving 20 as long as the technology is good. The director did not use too many special effects and editing, basically a follow-up shot before or after a camera, which not only allows the viewer to feel a certain sense of speed, but also makes the film less flashy and more simple.

Like the soundtrack of the film, Luc invited so many popular French Rap and Soul Orchestras to participate in the performance, including Assia, Fonky Family, Akhenaton, Karl... and so on. After listening to English and German, I heard the rap in French, and it feels equally good.

A protagonist who looks so familiar to me and can’t tell where I’ve seen it, a little handsome guy who looks a little more Jude Law, and a little beauty who looks like Natalie Portman in "This Killer Is Not So Cold" , Sun, beach, Marseille, the warmth and warmth unique to French films, and comedy films are also indispensable.

The Germans have been vilified in this way, and it is normal. Let's make a joke. Besides, the feuds of France and Germany do not agree with each other. And why does the French police never take action when criminals start, but watch them flee in broad daylight? Why would the leader of a world-class crime syndicate chase someone for 10 francs instead of a cruel shot to solve him?

Haha, forget it, watch comedy, why not relax? Just laugh.
