Today, I watched 5 comedies for you.
05
Welcome to the North
A light-hearted comedy
Director: Danny Byrne
Starring: Cade Maillard / Danny Byrne
Country/Region of Production: France
Douban score: 8.1 points
As soon as the film was released, it ended the box office record of "Tiger's Mouth" held by France for 42 years.
During that time, the first words of the French people to meet were:
"Have you watched Welcome to the North?"
So what exactly is this film about?
Simply put, it's --
A civil servant living in the south was mistakenly assigned to a small town in the north.
Knowing that he was going to the north, everyone around him came to him and said:
It's cold in the north, and the people there are still vulgar.
Disheartened, Philip bid farewell to his family and went to work alone with trepidation.
After coming to the north, he found that everything was not as terrible as he thought.
He was infected by the simple folk customs here, and he was even more touched by the bold enthusiasm of these northerners.
This person, who was originally caught in the struggle for power and lived an incomparably tangled life, found his own warmth in this icy northern town.
04
Outstanding Citizen
A black comedy that blackens its own people to the end
Director: Gaston Du Palat
Starring: Oscar Martinez / Dardi Bleva / Andrea Frigerio
Country/Region of Production: Argentina / Spain
Douban score: 8.4 points
As soon as "Outstanding Citizen" was released, word of mouth exploded.
Someone gave it another name, "a hundred ways to die after the world's literary giants return home."
The film tells the story of the protagonist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature who returns to his hometown in South America after many years of absence, only to find that the absurdity of reality is far better than any magic realist novel.
The daughter of the first love, in order to escape from this town, takes the initiative to seduce herself to bed;
Small hair that I haven't seen in decades, I just come to ask for money, just because I think "this little money is nothing to you." ”
Local radio stations, the government, and even more in order to squeeze his celebrity effect, do everything to the extreme.
In the end, he was pointed at by Fa Xiao with a shotgun and escaped from his hometown.
The protagonist's return to his hometown does not have the warmth of "a little away from home and a big return",
There is only the indifference and embarrassment of "laughing and asking where the guests come from".
03
Captain Marvel
A cool and fun movie
Director: Matt Ross
Starring: Vigo Mortensen / George McKay / Samantha Isle
Country of Production: United States
Douban score: 7.8 points
Don't look at the title of the movie "Captain Marvel", but the protagonist is not a superhero, he is just a father of six children.
He is a little different from the usual parents.
His wife was seriously ill and hospitalized, so he slept in the jungle with his six children.
The most important lesson for these children is... Fighting, frog jumping and running.
In the evening, I began to read and study.
Of course, when a child returns to society, some situations inevitably occur.
For example, children look at the "hot dog" on the menu, and "Coke" will make a fuss.
When interacting with peers, there will always be some ironic "misunderstandings".
However, the director is still tall and does not criticize which way of life.
Whether it's the primitive people of the forest or the conformist "American Dream", there is no right or wrong, and all conflicts are presented in a playful and humorous way.
You may disagree with the values here, but it is these "differences" that make our world more exciting.
02
Seven Steps of Life
Absurd and very reasonable stories
Director: Terry Jones
Starring: Graham Chapman / John Chris / Terry Gilliam
Country of Production: United Kingdom
Douban score: 8.3 points
Seven steps of life - seven heavy topics with some absurd condiments, into seven absurd stories.
The teacher's lecture content at a glance was replaced by sexual intercourse in the blink of an eye;
Super fat foodies eat binge eating until they explode;
Children's choir sings: every sperm is sacred;
……
The problem is, in addition to the hilarity, you also think that what they say makes a lot of sense...
01
Electric Shock Girl
Thai version of "Thunderbolt Babe" + "My Girlhood"
Director: Chayanope Buenparakob
Starring: Sulcata Gu Longxi / Titan Maha Yutana / Pong Shan Lilatanaka Zou
Country/Region of Production: Thailand
This is an easily overlooked Masterpiece of Thai comedy!
The film tells that girls have a strange talent, that is, once the heart beats fast, the whole body will produce a strong current.
To do this, she had to hide from the boy she had a crush on – for fear of electrocuting him.
In order to get close to the person you like, the girl overcame the current battle to begin!
The movie is interspersed with all kinds of brain-opening small animations, hot blood, hilarious and very magical.
I know that Thais have a big brain hole in shooting advertisements, but I didn't expect to shoot a youth film to have a bigger brain hole.
