The film can be divided into two paragraphs, just like an emotional turning point in life. The first half is a joyous, impetuous life struggle: a small man, Dieter, kicks his dream of becoming a millionaire, from a hot sausage vendor under a train station, step by step. The chief waiter who was promoted to a star-rated hotel finally fulfilled his dream of becoming a "rich man" dramatically. This series of life and workplace experiences are the topic.
In the first paragraph of the original plot, the story structure of the common man Dieter's rise to fame and inspiration is uninnovative and slightly thin; however, with the historical changes of the war between Nazi Germany and the Czech Republic in the middle, it is a link between the past and the future. The second paragraph lays a solemn and serious historical background and social environment, showing the dignified heritage of the times. The emotional tone of the second half of the film becomes a little heavy because the characters are in the turbulent social torrent, and the humorous scenes also show a little loneliness and bitterness.
The film adopts a cross-narrative approach, telling the old Dieter's memories of his various situations and dramatic life in his youth. The images are alternately reproduced in memory and reality. The film is edited smoothly and easily, which can connect Dieter's past and present The two stages of life form strong opposites. When he passed away in the mirror, he looked at his past, and it is not difficult to understand that director Elie Manzo's thoughts in this film are based on the psychological description that pays attention to the consideration and reflection of human nature. "Big", a story style that looks at the development of a big era with tiny individuals
This comedy film has several highlights.

In terms of shooting techniques, a large number of flashback shots flexibly switch the faces of the protagonists in two age groups through mottled mirrors or transparent beer mugs: one is the very recent fame of young people, and the other is the age of old people. Sadly weak. In addition, the flowing scene soundtrack is closely integrated with the plot, which is very enjoyable to appreciate.
In the plot, hot erotic scenes can be seen everywhere, and there is no intention of making a gimmick. The purpose is to highlight the extravagant life of the bourgeoisie, which is lavish and lavish; another purpose is to express the protagonist Dieter's sexual fantasies and romantic feelings for women in his youth. There are also beauties in the film. They wantonly expose their bodies, and even a "female body" appears, which stimulates the senses. Under the camera, the women's round and jade-like bodies are not indecent, and Yili Manzo conveys the graceful and intuitive visual sensory experience to fans through soft and charming images.
In addition to the slight infiltration of sexual topics, all living beings' desire for money runs through the narrative line of the film from beginning to end. In the film, Dieter threw a steel shovel in the air many times as a mischief, watching those decently dressed rich men bow or crawl on the ground, picking up money with dignity and disregard. Dieter's bizarre and direct behavior is actually not difficult to understand. From this behavior, the audience can see that people's insatiable desire for wealth is not divided into classes.

It seems to have a sarcastic and teasing kind smile, piercing and peeping the various desires and psychology in the hearts of the public. Moreover, with the help of the thoughts and opinions of individual characters, in the form of comedy and witty art, it considers how the turbulent historical pattern of World War II and people's destiny are closely intertwined.
