The whole film runs through a witty and absurd tone. Opening in the form of a silent film reminds me of Chaplin's long past. The protagonist Dieter is a small man. Against the background of World War II, he brought a little legend to the ordinary life. The film is interspersed with the dual lines of reality and memory. After Dieter was released from prison, he was exiled to a desolate house in the forest. There was also a young girl who was also exiled here. She said that those who come here usually have stories. people. That night, as Dieter sat alone in the desolate house, looking at the floor, scenes from the past began to emerge.
Young Dieter worked as a waiter in a small restaurant, sitting in a chair and watching the boss proudly and enjoying the money spread all over the floor, he was very envious and dreamed of becoming a millionaire one day and marrying a beautiful Wife, bought a luxury hotel to be the owner. But the boss said to him, you are a small man with no background, and it is difficult to get ahead. But luck and misfortune always favor Dieter at the same time. Every time Dieter is forced to resign, a better opportunity will come. From small restaurants to luxury rich clubs, to the most luxurious Paris hotel in Prague, the clever Dieter relies on With his own cleverness, he became the chief waiter of the Paris Hotel. Men's desires are always inflated in the face of money and beauty, and Dieter is no exception. No matter which hotel or restaurant he works in, he sees all the beards and big belly millionaires enjoying themselves. Along with good food and beauties, the small Dieter can rely on the tips of rich guests to have a relationship with the graceful call girls or maids, and then erect a mirror, which he decorates with bouquets, money or meals. Women's bodies, and then show them through the mirror, this trick is very useful after Dieter has sex with women, and it has been tried and tested. Maybe Dieter, as a waiter, knows the hearts and needs of customers. In this unique way, he gently decorates the inaccessible hearts of call girls, making them feel different themselves through the mirror.
One of the clips is very ironic. Dieter, the chief waiter at the Paris Hotel, serves top guests. They are all fat old men with the same expression, the same beard and big ears. I almost watched If there is no obvious difference in their appearance, is this the sign of the so-called rich people at that time? They spent a high price on the meal and enjoyed the exquisite food. In the middle of the round table, there was a voluptuous and sexy call girl. They ate the food sensually while looking at her body. After the meal was over, they lined up to pay Dieter tipped, seemingly objectively, and left, and when the last VIP had left, Dieter closed the door, put away all the tips, and climbed to the table to have sex with the beauties that the VIPs who paid their expensive meals went to watch. The little man Dieter receives every day the rich people who are sensual and decadent. He also fantasizes about becoming one of them one day, but as a waiter, he enjoys the stupid rich people who spend high prices but can only sell. drooling beauty.
Dieter, who is well versed in interpersonal reception, participated in the reception of the Ethiopian King at the Paris Hotel. That day, the small size became his advantage. The king brought the medal originally belonging to the oldest foreman to the clever Dieter. After being awarded the medal and monopolizing this honor, he left the Paris Hotel. When World War II broke out, the Czech Republic gave up resistance on the grounds that "we Czechs do not fight", the Czech Republic fell, and the Germans easily invaded. In my opinion, perhaps the rich people in the upper class of the Czech society, as if there are only delicious food and beautiful women in their lives, they are greedy for pleasure, and their decadent life has made them lose their fighting spirit and resistance. They are born in trouble and die in peace. Interpretation.
With the outbreak of the war, Dieter also met his true love. Lisa, a German female teacher, got rid of the bullying of the Czechs under Dieter's rescue. Heroes saving beauty is an eternal opportunity for love, even on the streets of war years. , even if the hero is not that tall. After falling in love with Lisa, who was younger than himself, Dieter stopped dealing with sexy girls. He understood the difference between true feelings and pleasure. It seems that in the heart of the little Dieter, he There is also a macho protective desire. He emphasized that Lisa is the only woman shorter than him. He wants to marry Lisa, but Lisa, who has pure Germanic blood, cannot easily marry Dieter. The racial divide Between them, the persistent Dieter overcame everything and finally let Lisa marry him. The two hope to open a luxury hotel called Dieter after the war. Lisa was a fanatical Hitler admirer. Shortly after her marriage, after failing to conceive a future German leader, she joined the Nazis and threw herself into the war. Germanic women are needed like bulls and cows. In their eyes, Dieter is not regarded as a man. They can walk naked in front of him without any scruples. For Dieter, who used to enjoy sex with all kinds of beauties, it is really a kind of abuse. Performance.
The film always likes to express the theme with side description or capture of details. The women waiting to mate in the clubhouse are replaced by men who are disabled in the war, which shows that the war in Germany has gradually turned weak, and Lisa is tired of the war and returns to Die. At the same time, they also brought huge wealth - the priceless stamps collected from all over the world during the war were enough for them to open a few Paris hotels. Great joy, great sorrow and great ups and downs can always push the story to a climax. For Dieter, when everything seems to be going well, Lisa is buried in a collapsed house in order to retrieve the stamp box in the war. The stunned Dieter had a sluggish expression on his face, but the film was given a very full and emotional soundtrack, with a high-pitched rising tone, as if pushing the sadness to the highest point, blindly chasing the so-called desire to satisfy the desire. Money, Dieter lost his cherished wife.
At the end of World War II, the Czech Republic sold stamps, became a multimillionaire, bought a luxury hotel, and named it Hotel Dieter. The collected banknotes and bonds of various countries are displayed and displayed on a wall. The higher life pushes you, the more dangerous it is, which means the harder it will be to fall. At this time, two law enforcement officers suddenly came to Dieter's hotel, confiscated Dieter's entire property, 16 million and everything in this luxury hotel, and betrayed and imprisoned for reform. After the end of World War II, the Czech Republic entered the stage of socialism, and the property of the capitalists was confiscated. The irony is that before the war capitalism was in power, Dieter was the little guy at the bottom, trying hard to get respect, after the war he implemented communism, but Dieter became a so-called capitalist, was sentenced to prison, and entered the bottom again. .
In fact, the little guy Dieter has low self-esteem deep in his heart. Even though he is smart and tactful, he still can't get rid of the psychological obstacles of his small weakness and inferior status. He is eager to prove it by having relationships with beautiful women. Own charm, earn money to join the ranks of millionaires, improve your status by arming with money, and get rid of the established image of a small waiter. Even in the end, he hopes to be classified as a millionaire and actively imprisoned, hoping to truly become a member of the rich. . .
The whole film pays great attention to the depiction of details, and it will reflect the inner changes through the expressions of the characters. Things are also expressed through some side descriptions, such as a young woman exiled in the forest with the old Dieter. She was excluded from society because of her frequent enjoyment of dealing with men she liked, which showed the conservativeness of the primary stage of Czech socialism at that time. In order to prevent the reappearance of extravagant life, they confine their personal emotions and life.
At the end of the film, after experiencing all kinds of changes, Dieter looked at the large and small mirrors in the room, and looked at himself in the mirror, as if he had found his true self. The so-called secular, the camera cuts to the medal awarded by the king is worn on the dog, and the stamps symbolizing money are also scattered in the wind by him. . .
