Two days ago I saw a movie on the subway, which should be an animation to be precise, and the film is only 76 minutes long, which is a French film.
Douban Film Review 8.0 (This is really a high-scoring movie!) ）
The name of the movie is "Tongue Like a Father", I actually went to the comedy, funny label, I did not expect to be greatly unexpected.
Because movies are so funny, watching hot-blooded anime and childish animations in our country in recent years has long forgotten what really funny animation looks like.
You think animation is all like this.
But it can actually be like this.
To be honest, the style of this film is very "stunning" at first, yes, I used stunning, not to say that the details are depicted very well, but the most direct interpretation of what is "animation", is not it a moving picture? Of course, animation can be divided into many kinds according to the form of artistic expression, such as watercolor animation, ink painting animation, paper-cut animation, puppet animation, clay puppet cartoon and so on.
The style of "Tongue Like a Father" is simply simple and rude, and even everyone in the film is holding a middle finger.
Pay attention to the fingers
In fact, although the style of this film makes people feel childish, the content is not "simple" at all! It's full of interesting yet ironic plots. Like what:
The main thing to say is the protagonist Lauren, a film and television screenwriter named "Budd Film Company"
Mainly responsible for writing the script, usually it is also a big brain, often telling stories to children, and these stories are usually about princesses, Zorro, swordsmen, etc., but also mostly Lauren herself, the favorite food is the pancakes made by his wife (I think this must be translated localization, what pancakes are in France).
Suddenly one day he participated in a "Dad Tells Stories to Kids" competition, and the film began. (As always, I don't love spoilers)
The main dads who made the final round had six representatives.
Lauren (the film translates to Laurent), our protagonist, is a good father with a huge brain and a rich imagination, but also very cowardly and timid, with no strength and no muscles, and all his storylines are one adventure after another.
Left Eric Right Lauren
Eric, the so-called villain in the film, and Lauren do the same position in the same company, but he has been bullying Lauren, shrewd and calculating, imaginative, but extremely bad-hearted, even his son is not much better. He has always wanted to kill Lauren, and even used murder to kill Lauren.
Momo, the only black dad in the film, the story is also very exciting, full of regional characteristics and fantasy style, but the first round of the promotion round lost the game because the story theme did not match.
Momo
Jean-Pierre is a very grumpy father, and even his story is full of this vulgar, dirty words, but he is indeed a very fragile person at heart, and he is quite cute in the film.
Jean-Pierre
Huber, the most cultured dad in the film, tells stories related to historical legends and celebrity biographies, and he also unfortunately lost the promotion round.
Uber
Marion, who is a mom, an absolute feminist exponent, can tell how strong she is when she can participate in the "Daddy Tells Stories to Kids" competition. Of course, even her story is full of feminism, since ancient times, it has been a prince saving the princess, and her story is a princess saving the prince, and even love can not save, but run around the world to pursue their love.
Marion
Although Eric has been deliberate and has always wanted to be the first, but in the end Lauren's story is really too brilliant, Eric's thinking can not keep up with it, and all his destruction of the story has let Lauren tactfully fill in, and sure enough, he still highlights the name of the movie - clever tongue like a father.
Sure, Lauren ended up winning the race, but surprisingly, instead of accepting the prize — a three-year trip to super globes, he gave up this real adventure of life, saying, "I've already taken risks here."
Eric, on the other hand, quietly picked up the prize that Lauren had thrown away, and began a fantastic and deadly adventure...
Finally, thanks to the great director Jean-Christophe Roger, for letting us see such a brilliant animation.
