Cabbage's Movie Recommendation "Monsters in Paris"
Because I wanted to write a movie recommendation to give to my heart of Paris, when choosing this issue, the little cabbage was extremely entangled, one was Woody Allen's dream back to the fantasy film "Midnight in Paris" of the last century, and the other was the comedy animation film "Monsters in Paris" produced by Luc Besson.
-Paris-
In culture and art, humor and vitality, I chose the latter because it is closer to the Paris in the eyes of the little cabbage. The film was produced by Europa Pictures, a French company whose founder was None other than Luc Besson.
The film is set in the Great Flood of Paris in 1910. The seine, which flows through the city center, is 8 meters higher than usual, and in the film we can see a very classic picture of the light infantry statue on the pier of the Alma Bridge has been submerged to the neck.
Previous film description: 1910, Paris, France. Cinema projectionist Emile and his friend Raul come to a scientist's laboratory to deliver goods, the scientist happens to be absent, two people randomly move the laboratory drugs, the result is a big chaos, but also a small flea huge, into a terrifying monster. The monster fleas escaped from the laboratory, causing a riot and panic in Paris.
In fact, this fleas are gentle and innocent, with a pure heart. It came across the beautiful bar resident singer Lucier, hence the name Franka. Franka has an amazing musical talent, and her performance with Lucy is well received.
On the other hand, the greedy police chief wants to destroy the monster to strengthen his authority. To protect Franka, Emile, Rohr, and Lucy work together.
The opening chapter takes the video material as the starting point, connecting one of the protagonists, Emile, fantasizing about dating the beloved girl, the fire-breathing dragon spitting out fireballs, and the white light transition.
Emile woke up in the film screening room, the film machine malfunctioned, and he was in a hurry to cut a piece of film into his pocket, which also paved the way for the police to come to the door later.
Then we followed Rolle, the sunflower-printed car, through the streets of Paris. See the Elma Bridge several times and the wooden planks that people have erected on the water to facilitate passage.
Not only that, but the robberies that existed on the streets of Paris a hundred years ago, as well as the particularity of the image of some police politicians in the eyes of the French people, can be glimpsed in the film.
When they entered the scientist's lab, Rohr's curiosity about the strange potion was like that of us in our first chemistry class.
In the brain hole of the maker, there are a few drops of potion that can make the apes sing, and there is a spray that can make a melon seed grow into a towering sunflower in an instant.
It is also these giant sunflowers, which were finally used to plant in the Seine River to solve floods, and it can be said that the imagination is really rich.
In the laboratory, the giant sunflower that grew up in the water fell, two bottles of potion collided, and a small flea leapt into a giant monster with an amazing singing voice, which broke out of the window and jumped to paris at night.
When small animals first "grew up", just like the dwarfs in the little man country who ate the medicine of becoming larger, came to the giant country, and were full of curiosity about everything.
In his constant contact with human beings, he established a concept of the world. Everywhere he went, he caused people to scream in horror.
Until he met Lucille. He curled up in the corner, recalling everything he had experienced, and sang a sad song: "The pearly heart is locked in a hard shell..." It was this song that touched the kind, beautiful, romantic, and beautiful girl who sang "La Seine" very beautifully.
At this point, the little flea has its own name: Franka.
Franka's talent for music made him a companion for performing with Lucille. However, all stories will have ups and downs, ups and downs, and Franke's encounter is no exception.
Betrayed by a bar attendant, the police chief comes to the door to catch the "monster". In a series of chases, justice triumphs, and the same evil is finally defeated.
As the captain of the police once said, "That flea has a more noble sentiment than the vile politician before me." ”
Franka is a flea, and if it were our common appearance, no one would be afraid of it, but it became an unusual one, so it seemed out of place.
And our politician, for the sake of his position, for the sake of his successful election for the mayor of Paris, went so far as to attribute the reason for the delay in the flood to the prescient he wanted to borrow water against fleas.
In the campaign speech, there was only a few applause, and the people of Paris were not stupid, and they had already seen through his stupid and ridiculous behavior.
The little fleas are not very pleasing creatures, such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies, etc., which are insects that people try their best to drive away almost as soon as they appear.
In France, the word fleas was originally often associated with filth and poverty, but the author chose to use fleas as the subject of amplification.
It is a being given a special mission, and it represents a group of people living at the bottom of France.
In fact, France is a very inclusive country, especially in Paris, strolling through several cultural neighborhoods on both sides of the Seine, you can hear a lot of different languages, see different races, as if people are used to this life.
When you enter a store, the owner always speaks French first, then English, and some even take turns greeting Asians in Chinese Japanese and Korean.
And it seems that in every city in France there are many refugees, and there are many tramps, as if they are avoided, disgusted, feared by the majority. I think that's one of the reasons the author chose fleas.
One of the most interesting cultural events in France is the second-hand market with many works of art, also known as the "flea market".
In 19th-century Europe, most of the clothes sold at that time had fleas. Since then, the flea market has become synonymous with this type of activity.
Famous flea experiment: The reason why people can because they believe in the "self-limit" problem of energy.
Fleas are experimental products in scientists' instruments because they can jump without restriction without a cap.
All the accidents will eventually get back on track, like a giant sunflower turning back into a seed and Franka back into a little flea. The emergence of life has its meaning and value of existence.
The film is full of humor that belongs to the French, who ridicule politicians and ridicule the disasters of the past. At the same time, it will also show romance and love to the fullest.
Romantic elements can be found everywhere in the film, as well as the M-(Matthew Shedi) rock and roll that the French loved.
All the protagonists have gained romantic love, whether it is a green plum bamboo horse or a long-term crush, just like in Paris.
You can see scruffy tramps under the corridor in the alley, or you can see affectionate lovers in the sun on the lawn, where everyone can find their own way of life.
The little fleas Franca survived in Paris, which was flooded in 1910, and was accepted and loved because of her kindness, and she could jump and sing as much as she wanted.
Breaking through the "self-limit" in the relationship with good people, it is no longer a flea, but a creature with human emotions as well.
Although the weak eat the strong, but there is animism, there is a reverence for living things, even if it is food, you will also receive the same lucky gift.
With a short subtitle at the end of the film:
"To my father."
(to my father)
Wish all fathers
Happy holidays
