10 years marked this film, the words at that time were love poems to Moscow. After watching it again after 9 and a half years, this time I was deeply impressed by the delicate and emotional performance of the characters, and I laughed with tears. This movie is a childhood memory, and I have recorded it and listened to it repeatedly, so I am very familiar with the dialogue in it. At that time, I didn't actually see much, I was attracted by the wonderful lines and the conflict of characters. The reason why it is said to be a love poem to Moscow is to see the interspersed scenery, soothing and moving songs, busy or happy Muscovites, these interspersed in the film, give the story a background, and it is also like a beautiful song. The small poem, which has a special effect in the play, expresses the director's praise for the city. This time, before the six best films of CCTV were saved, I saw the host go to the filming location, and Ryazanov's assistant before his death also talked about his love for the city of Moscow. Looking at the story of the office this time, I will have a lot less labelled views on the male and female protagonists. The delicate emotions of the characters created by Ryazanov make the plot interesting, and the plot follows the flow of emotions. In a moment of tears, the female director learned that Navasheritsev had approached her for the position of the director, so she seemed to be poured cold water on her head, because the basis for her change was the recognition of his character, which was two The closeness of a sincere heart, especially after the deputy director handed the love letter to the third person and was slapped by Navasheritsev. This section of the female director's expression changed from brisk to bloodless, which was really distressing. At the back, Navasheritsev resigned, and the argument and fight between the two had an extremely dramatic effect because of the previous series of emotional roller coaster foreshadowing. The mood is like a gurgling stream for a while, cold like an ice cave for a while, and surging like an ocean for a while. In terms of controlling the audience's psychology, the director's technique is too wonderful. I think it's because the director cares about each of his roles, from the beginning of the day in the office starting with the ladies putting on makeup, to the moment the bell rang, people put down their work and hurried out, and there are some witty characters who are enthusiastic about society The chairman of the labor union at work, the office secretary Vera who spreads the gossip, and the man who peeks at the woman's thighs are all full of the reality of life. Rather than criticism, they are more playful and ridiculing. Ryazanov treats these with tolerance, no Too much praise and criticism, but with a kind smile. This is the world he lives in. He just expresses truthfully and exaggerates, so it produces comedy. It is not so important to change or not to change. Everything has its own orbit. Such a tone also brings more humane and reasonable side to his hero and heroine, even the seemingly indifferent female director, for the deputy director handed over the love letter written by the female staff to him. The behavior of the trade union was also angrily reprimanded. It was kindness that brought these two together. A lot of different elements can be harmoniously weaved into this work, which brings the audience to tears and happy laughs - these main creators seem to have won the title of People's Artists, and they deserve it. If you really love your city and your role, you will add more warmth and compassion to it. A movie that flows with emotions, a movie that relies on emotions to create a sense of drama, everything is so natural, unexpected, reasonable, and there is nothing unreasonable, such a brilliant, so such a film will never be Movies that are grandstanding and do not want to attract attention have been loved by so many people. Don't belittle yourself or belittle others, everyone has dignity, you can still make people laugh with tears, and laugh in tears, this is the most brilliant comedy. Life itself is full of a lot of disharmony, which is enough to make jokes, but it is not that a pair of discerning eyes can't discover it, and it is possible to express all this so plainly but not lightly, but it is ups and downs, which shows the depth of the director's skill. Whether it is the noisy street scene, the red fruits on the trees in the snow, the soothing melodies, the philosophical lyrics, or the Muscovites who have many shortcomings but shine because of their kindness, they collectively form this song for Moscow. love poems. This makes the film never get tired of watching it, and the delicate emotions in it are timeless.
