Chapter 16 The six movies that made me laugh the hardest

It is far more difficult to list the movies that made you laugh the worst than to name the movies that made you cry, and those movies that made you laugh are mostly your early experience, your childhood viewing experience. This is really an interesting discovery: when you are young, the pure joy and sorrow make you so easily infected by comedies, but as you grow up, laughing becomes more and more difficult. The movies that resonate with you are the ones that make you cry, and the heart-wrenching laughter has become unheard of. "God Is Crazy" In July 2003, in an obscure corner of an overseas film magazine, I saw an obituary—African aborigines who became popular more than 20 years ago because of starring in the two-episode comedy "God Is Crazy" Actor Li Su (N! Xau) passed away.

A month earlier, he was found to have died suddenly in a field in his hometown of Namibia. After examination, it was confirmed that he died of natural causes while carrying logs away from home. Although his real age is unknown, it is generally believed that he died at about fifty-nine years old. Yes, we don't know his age, and even the news of his death was so inconspicuous. Who will remember him?Before making the film, he was just an African hunter, and basically had no contact with the city. There were only three white people, let alone a camera. In 1980, "God Is Crazy" selected him as the leading role. He returned a Coke bottle thrown by civilized people to the tribe, which made the whole world laugh and won the French Cesar Award for Best Foreign Language Film nominate. In 1989, "God Is Crazy" started filming a sequel, and his pay rose to $800,000.

However, I believe that many Chinese audiences will remember him, because the two episodes of "God Is Crazy" were released in China ten years ago, and they were respectively translated as "Escape from Death" and "Return from Desperation".Although the translated name is cheesy, the movie is really exciting. It tells the story between the indigenous people on the African savannah (their language is always like a watchman knocking clappers during the Anti-Japanese War) and modern urbanites. Shaking skillfully and effortlessly, calm and unhurried, modern people are like gooses, always being rescued by the flattered indigenous people.There are eye-catching shots of the heroine's naked body in both films, and there are wonderful animal performances in "Escape from Death".There are many movies, the so-called "good-looking" are just word of mouth, which often makes you praise while still not convinced, but this set of movies, although not many people have seen it, they all say yes with a smile from the heart.

This is a movie that made the whole Chinese laugh.You have to ask a Chinese over the age of 30 to name the funniest movie, and I believe most people will name this one. I just want to talk about the deeds of my college classmate Toto (this is his pen name, from the kid who was raised by movies in "Paradise Cinema"): the TV station broadcast it a few years ago, the picture quality is high, but the new The dubbing made people unable to listen, so he found a way to find the movie version dubbed by Shang Hua and Yu Ding from Shanghai Film Studio in 1982, using the new version of the image and the old version of the sound, and re-produced it sentence by sentence. Together, coupled with the seamless combination of music and sound, it is hard to go into detail, but he enjoys it.That year, I got a strange birthday gift—a "Toto version" VCD—he used a Bate tape to turn it into a VCD, and then burned it down.

In the movie "Immoral Transactions", a group of wealthy people including Robert Redford are participating in a charity auction. When they raise the price to 50,000 yuan, a voice sounds: "One million yuan", poor boy Woody Harrelson steps out of the crowd.All applause, including Robert Redford.When I saw this, I also applauded Robert Redford who applauded.He can take out a million at will, but the million is all Woody Harrelson's property, and he can't take it out, but he knows Woody Harrelson. Toto just loves movies with everything he has. For those who like movies, even if they are not like him, at least they can understand him.

"The White-headed Detective" In many movies, the male protagonist embraces the beautiful woman, and you will feel wronged for the beautiful woman, saying that the flowers are stuck on the cow dung.But there is one exception, and he is the white-headed Leslie Nielsen, although every time he wins the beauty is so charming, old enough to be his granddaughter, but I think that is his rightful bonus-his "White-headed The Detective series, as well as "Death and Manslaughter", "Extremely Protrusive", "Space Convex Hammer", etc., can make people laugh so much that they only hate their small lung capacity.

It is said that there is a special saying for this kind of film, called "spoof comedy", which means to satirize the comedy of certain movies through exaggerated imitation.This kind of film can also be regarded as a test question for movie fans-it depends on how deep you are in group movies. Like the famous "Horror Movie" series in recent years, it is said that a total of 26 movies and five movies have been spoofed. TV series, Be a Good Dragon. As your immunity to comedies grows, it's hard to get a laugh out of a movie that claims to be funny in advance, and it's often other genres that don't preconceive that make you laugh, not as good as the Indiana Jones trilogy Even though the classification sheet says it's an adventure action movie, many people get more laughs out of it than a comedy that tickles your armpit.

I don’t know if anyone else sees it as a funny movie like me, anyway, I was really amused, from the huge Schwarzenegger walking in the wind and rain with a petite pet dog, to the horror boss at the end Hanging on the bomb to die, my laughter has never stopped.Of course, the most awesome scene is that scene: a few villains sat in the car, and after constantly adjusting their postures, they finally stabilized the car on the broken bridge. At the front of the car... There is also this scene in a comedy called "Four Aberdeen Traveling Group": a car was finally stabilized on a broken wooden bridge, and a buddy next to the bridge spit on it accurately... …

"Office Story" I don't know why, but the so-called "British" humor doesn't make me funny at all - if by British humor you mean "Mr. Bean" and "Four Weddings and a Funeral".On the contrary, what I most agree with is the humor of the great Russian nation, especially Comrade Ryazanov's comedies, such as "Battlefield Romance", "Office Story", "Two People's Station", "Fate of Fate". "Tricking" and so on, the dialogue has become a test question for some movie fans to show off their memory.In those days, it was a blessing to have Soviet movies to watch.

Oddly enough, when I write this, I don't have lines like "You say I'm dry?" "No, you're wet." It's another "Italian Adventures in Russia" The lion in the movie - it was chasing a few people who stole jewels in the middle of the night. Those people were in a panic, but this lion obediently stopped in front of the red light. There were four films based on Wang Shuo's novels in the late 1980s: , "Great Breath", "Half Sea Water, Half Fire", and this one that kept movie theaters laughing (many people had to pay more for it). Watch it several times to hear the lines clearly), but the fashion show in the film is transplanted from the plot in Xu Xing's novel "Variations Without A Theme".Wang Shuo's film was followed by "No Applause", etc., but I insist that "Sunny Day" is Jiang Wen's and not Wang Shuo's. Does anyone agree with me?

Many people will remember Ge You, Liang Tian, ​​and Zhang Guoli because of this movie. In fact, it is the director Mi Jiashan who is really awesome.The only regret of the film also happened to him—his wife at the time, Pan Hong, was cast as Ding Xiaolu. Her acting skills were so out of tune with this film—making the film only one step away from immortality.The laughter brought to us by this movie is still in our ears, but we are already in a new century, a new age, and a new world. The six coolest lines in memory (1) "You will succeed, but with whom will you share it?" This phrase comes from a Sino-French co-production film "Tears in a Sedan Chair" (renamed "The Boudoir" when it was released in China), and tells the life of Zhou Qinli, a female pianist living in France.The elderly pianist is played by Qin Yi, very old enough.The actor who played the young pianist was called Tu Jieqing, who was very good enough. He made a splash in the film industry and then disappeared.When she was young, she was pretentious and rebellious by nature, breaking with her father who she thought was vulgar and weak.Her father (played by Jiang Wen) said such a sentence to her, but unfortunately she didn't listen to it. She left and joined the business after a few decades, and only picked up the father-daughter relationship after decades. The reason why I think of this sentence is because I just shared a lot of feelings with the two old buddies. The three brothers who were inseparable back then, now some people are in trouble, and some have infinite glory, but they all find that even if you don’t want success or glory, as long as someone is with you It's good to pat each other's hairy legs and chatter about something.When I was young, I rushed forward too quickly, ignoring many things, "Youth is a book that is too hasty".Well now, old. "I love you." "I know." In "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back", Han Suluo, the captain of the "Millennium Falcon" spaceship played by Harrison Ford, was captured by the enemy and was to be made into a carbonized solid to imprison him.He and Princess Leia have been in love with each other since the first episode, but they are speechless.Now that life is parting, Princess Leia couldn't help but say "I love you", but Lao Han pulled his lips coolly and said "I know".It is said that in George Lucas's original script, his answer was the cliché "I love you too", but Harvard had an idea and changed it to this, which immediately became immortal.It is wonderful to love someone, and what is even more beautiful is to love him, and he knows it, just like Leslie Cheung and Zhou Xiulan's kiss in "The Drummer", and Meng Jiahui's gentle leaning on Andy Lau's shoulder in "Dark War". And "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones" is a major theme of forbidden love.Amidala has always been in love with Anakin, until the two were captured on the Genesis Star and were about to be sent to the Colosseum to die. Before entering the arena, Amidala suddenly said: "Since you came back to me, My heart is dying day by day." When I saw this, my heart trembled.She has always said that if you admit love, you have to live in a lie. In fact, if you don't admit love, why not sink in a lie?Fortunately, at the moment of life and death, she finally admitted, and then the two entered the Colosseum kissing, the sun was shining in their eyes, and love and courage drowned death like water.John Williams' music for this film has one or two passages of unprecedented softness to match this more poignant love under pressure. This entrance is one of the most soul-stirring movie scenes I've ever seen.Extremely numerous and extremely few, extremely strong and extremely weak, extremely ugly and extremely beautiful, extremely violent and extremely tender, extremely life and extremely dead, I like this kind of contrast with great gap. "If you love him so much, then he must have many advantages?" "No. He loves me, and that's all." "That's too little." "That's why it's valuable." These are a few lines from the film "The Bride Without a Dowry" based on another Russian Ostrovsky's play "The Thunderstorm".The beautiful poor girl Larisa married a small civil servant, which made the nobleman who coveted her very depressed, and the nobleman had a few conversations with her like this.The words are touching, catchy and sharp.But after all, life is not something that can be dealt with with a few words of relief. The final outcome is this: Larisa becomes a businessman's concubine, and dies tragically in the fire of jealousy.I suddenly found that writing this post is so vain, that love is no match for life.Roses need money to irrigate and are destroyed by money. "Yes, I was 'at one point' attracted to her." "'one time'?" "Thirty-seven-billionth of a second." "Oh." "But do you know? Thirty-seven billionths of a second, for a computer person, this is already a long time." This dialogue comes from an episode of "First Contect" (translated as "The First Strike in the Starry Sky") in the series of movies. One of the characters) felt a bit sad after the death of the robot queen, and then had such a conversation with the captain.If Einstein was alive, he would discover the true meaning of the theory of relativity; if Goethe was still alive, he would not be saddened by the reunion and abandonment of women.As I wrote this, my face froze suddenly, and my heart suddenly seemed to be stabbed. It only took one thirty-seventh of a second, which is 100 million times worse than the eternity. "After Stalin learned the news of Zoya's brutal execution, he issued an order to the troops of the Western Front to shoot the German officers and soldiers of the 332nd Infantry Regiment on the spot and never accept their surrender!" The Soviet film "Battle of Moscow" lasted five or six hours, and the repeated war scenes made people drowsy, but every time it was played here, the heroine Zoya was executed on the gallows. The narrator read like this, and then there was thunderous applause from the entire cinema. In the vast Soviet war movies, Stalin left behind many powerful words, such as his encouragement to the Soviet people: "Well, since the Germans want to get the war of annihilation, they must get the war of annihilation." He refused to be captured by the Germans. When his son returned from the exchange, he said: "I would not exchange a soldier for a marshal." But if you know the truth of history, you will not like him. Before the Soviet-German War, in Stalin’s anti-revolutionary campaign (the one that made Paul Korchagin extremely excited and involved), three of the five Soviet marshals were framed as “enemies of the people” and executed. 14 out of 16 commanders, 60 out of 67 corps commanders, 136 out of 199 division commanders, all deputy defense people's commissars (11), and 75 out of 80 Supreme Military Councils were shot.In addition, more than 30,000 regimental officers were executed.Hitler said happily: "They don't have a good commander", and then started the war, and then the Soviet army was defeated in the early days of the Great Patriotic War. But these movies are still imprinted on our childhood after all.At that time, we didn't have any channels to know the above information, so we sincerely believed that everything in the movie was true, and we believed it for so many years. What else can you see when you rewatch these movies now?Look at the Soviet people.Their iron-like will to fight, their honesty and kindness like peasants, their broad sense of humor, and their melancholy battlefield romances... noble users living in dirty houses. "Hemingway said: 'The world is a good one, and worth fighting for.'—I believe the second half." David Fincher's "Seven Deadly Sins" is a very hopeless film.When the film came to an end, the old policeman played by Morgan Freeman watched the seven deadly sins fulfilled one by one. No matter the good or the bad, they would inevitably fall into the abyss of the soul, so the old Freeman said this, and the film ended here.
