French people are romantic, and after contacting them, we will find that they are very egotistical to say it nicely, and arrogant to say it badly. ;
Germans are strict and rigid, unreasonable, and unable to communicate;
Southern Europeans are lazy and unrestrained, and flirt with girls all over the country, but they have no intention of going to work;
Blacks are rude, casual, do not understand etiquette, and make people afraid
;
The Arab ethnic group is aggressive and extreme, and if they disagree with each other, they will bomb...
The above is all nonsense.
Just like the first impression of this movie, for the story between the rich white man and the poor black boy, some people will say that this is just a gimmick, in order to deliberately create dramatic conflict and create a comedy effect higher than life—— However, movies are always deceiving. In real life, the estrangement between people always exists and it is difficult to eliminate them; even if it is an adaptation of a true story, the two just happened to hit it off, and then they did not break up with one shot or two, and went on their own. .
See, hitting too many walls in reality gives us stereotypes about life too.
When this movie came out, I was still studying in France, and when I was having dinner with Colette, I heard her talking about the movie that was being shown recently, and it was said to be very good. This poster was also seen on the poster at the tram stop at the school gate. The sullen-looking middle-aged man and the brightly-smiling black man didn't interest me at all. Besides, when I was studying, I didn’t have money or time to go to the cinema to watch an unexpected movie, so I just missed it. To this day, seeing Paris in the movie is very real, so that the days in France seem to be vivid as if it were yesterday.
In 2011, France was much calmer and more harmonious than it is now, with no terrorist attacks, no immigration crisis, and no fuel crunch.
In the city where I study, there are relatively few African-French people, and they have little interaction with me; there are relatively more Arab students, especially North African classmates. There is a chubby Algerian brother in the apartment building where I live. Every time I watch As far as I was greeted cheerfully, but I have been keeping aloof. Once, he and two drunk Tunisian brothers went back to the apartment and made trouble in the common room. I took the computer and ran back to the room to lock the door (counsel). The fat boy met me the next day and apologized very seriously. So it became a buddy. So I found that the idea of worrying about being brainwashed by the other party's missionary was really stupid, because the main communication item between us was to complain about each other's pronunciation habits, and the secondary communication item was to talk about food... Little brother always laughs at me and suffocates to death. He can't make a big tongue, but he is completely confused when faced with the pronunciation of "renrenwang". This is not a friendship between Han Chinese and Hu people, nor is it a story of Buddhists and Muslims living in harmony—because we are ourselves in addition to our nationality and religion.
Just like this movie, it's not actually a story about two protagonists who forge a deep friendship across class barriers and racial prejudice - it's that Philippe and Driss have something in common from the very beginning. people.
During the interview, Philippe looked serious and stern to the point of making the audience think that he was paralyzed even his face, completely looking like an interviewer of a Fortune 500 company - this is also the stereotype of him: rich, Disabled, successful, accident victims. But when Driss heard Philippe mentioning music, he completely forgot his business and asked "Music? What do you know about music?", the audience could clearly see that Philippe's eyes lit up. Because he and Driss not only like music - yes, they like completely different kinds of music, but they can both appreciate each other's preferences, as evidenced by the fact that at Philippe's birthday party, Driss's enthusiasm for classical music classics Although the description is funny, it definitely grasps the essence of it, and the rock music where Driss dances vigorously also makes Philippe smile. This may be the legendary "good music has no boundaries" - aside from the musical symphony, What's more important is that they are all people with temperaments who put happiness above various material conditions, and they are all the kind of teasers who "as long as the father is willing, fame and fortune can be thrown away". The only difference is that Driss really does what you love (except housework), while Philippe is used to the stereotype of high society as he is used to a neat suit, like he is talking about birthday party invitations One of the guests said: Everyone is acting, in fact, I am annoying them, but it is not easy for anyone, I will act with them, just be happy.
In addition to being both gentlemen, another thing Philippe and Driss have in common is a love of art. When Driss said with a serious face that he was drawing in the room, I was as shocked as Philippe...and thought he was going to do something wrong, so when I saw him seriously erecting the drawing board, I felt this little The water is too deep.
It would be fair to say that because of talent and just doing something like Pollock, it can sell for 11,000 euros when painting; but later, when my little brother was interviewing for a new job, he said casually to flirt with his sister " When you said "Twelve steps", I really felt that the plot might be reversed I was tortured half to death in the two courses of French Literature History and Middle French, and I still have lingering fears when I heard it, but this little brother actually used it to flirt with his sister! This has dealt a deep blow to me... So my little brother may not have professional studies in the humanities and arts such as literature, music and painting, but he definitely pays attention to it. The reason why he is talking about operas and making outrageous comments about expensive nosebleed paintings, It's just because those posturing art forms don't meet his unrestrained discernment.
Another interesting little detail to think about is that the twelve-tone body is the content of French middle school textbooks. In the movie, Philippe's daughter is 15 years old, just the age of middle school. The little girl is busy you are the wind and I am the sand. While lingering around the rooftops, the teenager Driss memorized the twelve steps in class—though he probably failed the exam, if he hadn't dropped out and took the class in the first place.
That's probably what makes Driss lovable. There are no rules, no rules, no stereotypes, and it's full of surprises.
Philippe has everything materially, but he has no blessings; Driss is healthy and happy, but he has nothing.
In this way, the relationship between people and me can be logically combined into two situations:
1. The rich envy the poor with healthy hands and feet, and the poor envy the rich with food and clothing;
2. This is the movie.
Love the loopy narrative of this movie. Although I knew in advance that the friendship between the two was deep, at the beginning of the movie, when I saw Driss playing with a disabled person without limit, he would still silently mutter: Is this really good... and the two have always said " You" match. But in the middle and then put it on drag racing to pretend to be crazy and play the police, I feel that it will be a matter of course.
In addition, I really like the lala terrier in it hahaha. You don't need to go to the top of the line to pull the banner for LGBT and make a tiger skin. Originally, whoever one person loves is a personal matter of whoever loves someone else. It must be emphasized that "I am gay, so you have to respect me" or even "I am gay, so you have any opinion on me because I am gay." gay" is a bit of a posturing. Women and women together, is a complete world ah.
Speaking of which, on this issue, I still like the remarks of the Red Viper in "Game of Thrones": God created men and women, both are so beautiful, why should we reject God's creation? (You win)
PS Last year, I received an email from the fat guy telling me that he got married in Versailles, and he sent honeymoon photos with enthusiasm as always. Then tragedy struck in Paris. I asked him if he would be discriminated against, and he said that terrorism has nothing to do with religion, color, or race, just selfishness and stupidity.
So when the stereotype pops up automatically, we can actually turn it off with a fork in the upper right corner. You can only see the full picture of the screen after turning it off, right? Just like when I told a French friend confidently, "The Chinese just don't like the Japanese, just like you don't like the Germans, you don't understand at all", the other side choked me with one question: I hate Japan as a country It's easy, but would you hate every Japanese?
Not really. Because most of the Japanese classmates I met at school were polite and friendly.
I have seen extroverted Chinese, funny Germans, workaholic southern Europeans, super-learning Africans, shrewd and pragmatic French, etc., etc., etc. All kinds of examples that go against the stereotype...
So now I think, Anything that labels people is a joke. flow. rogue.
