Old-fashioned and pseudo-elite prudes have more fun： ＂rotten people＂ who have been played badly.
1905 movie network exclusive feature The film starring Johnny Depp landed in the mainland cinema on April 17th. This time Depp unexpectedly took the comedy route, playing a crazy London art dealer in the film. In the first few months of 2015, after,, and Kingsman, this is the fifth time that we have experienced a different kind of "British style" on the big screen:
The British have always given people the impression of being rigid, serious, slow and elitist. In this era of pursuing efficiency, the "corrupt people" always seem out of place, and this old-fashioned style often becomes a joke in film works. Not only is our country keen on producing "black humor" that dallies with old gentlemen and is old-fashioned, but in the eyes of people in other countries, this unique national character of the British often brings a different kind of happiness, and the human touch revealed from time to time under the old-fashioned coat makes this happiness even warmer.
Johnny Depp — — Noble thief
Businessman by day and thief by night: the best "Jiaojiao B" with cold outside and hot inside
British — — The traditional English gentleman, in particular, is a kind of person who has a stormy heart and no face. They will bury their feelings in their hearts, but their mouths are all light. Just like the Charlie Mordecai played by Johnny Depp in The Noble Thief, it is clear that his heart has already started to thread. On his face, he is still, as always, with a thick moustache sticking up quietly, which is full of romance and no words.
In fact, the role of Charlie Mordecai is somewhat similar to that of detective Garriott and detective Du Suo in the movie. They are all lucky eggs with "teammates like gods". Without the help of his beautiful wife Joanna, a handsome government official and a simple and brave bodyguard Jock, Mordecai could not have accomplished any task at all. If he is surrounded by "pig-like teammates", he will definitely become a "but before he could conquer, he was dead" unlucky.
"Little Freckle" Eddie Redmayne — — Jupiter goes up
Kinship means nobility. Leng Yan: a wonderful work of alien aristocrats.
"Nothing is a scholar, this sentence is true. Look at Hamlet. Every day, he just thinks about humanistic issues. He is indecisive, hesitant and hesitant. Finally, he killed his fiancee, friends and mother, and finally killed himself. This kind of weak scholar is only suitable for looking at the moon in the attic and sighing, and can’t be released to do things at all.
Barham (Eddie Redmayne), an alien constantly chauffeured with a "Shakespeare accent" in The Ascension of Jupiter, is such an example. When he has nothing to do, he always says some metaphysical words at an inappropriate time, and he is obviously a cultural person — — All day long, strut, sit tight, full of pedantry and absurdity. However, this gentleman always does nothing at the critical moment: he is usually on his high horse, and when it is time to make a fist, he becomes a soft egg — — Even the newly arrived "toilet queen" (mila kunis) can still give him a fat beating and let him die in the fire.
Some people say that there are two great figures in western literature, one is Hamlet and the other is Don Quixote. The former did nothing and killed a group of people; The latter did everything, but caught nothing. In the present society, Hamlet-style literary youth is loved by people. Don Quixote, in a sense, has become synonymous with "headstrong". Just like the alien playboy played by "Little Freckle" in this film, everyone can’t wait to jump on the screen and lick it. And how many people will favor channing tatum, a "skateboard boy" who can play and jump and is responsible for playing cruel violence?
Colin firth — — Ace Agent: Secret Service Academy
Fighting and killing is still not chaotic: the old-school "gentleman’s style" of secret agents
007 has gained countless fans all over the world with her hair that will never be messy and her shoes that will always shine. However, after 007 became Rambo in a suit, it was colin firth who played the traditional British agent "Galahad". The agent always wears a customized suit and always wears shiny hair. In terms of action ability, he will always act meticulously and indiscriminately. This special agent will never rush to perform his task, and even such high-energy violent activities as "blood washing" and "slaughter" should be completed in a methodical way. It should be said that galahad is a typical subject of the British Empire, and every gesture is full of British flavor.
It is worth mentioning that the name galahad also refers to something. According to legend, this man is the 13th knight of the Round Table under King Arthur. The number 13 has always been regarded as an unlucky number in the west, and its position is also the most special, because only he can find the whereabouts of the holy grail, which King Arthur has been searching for so hard, and he is also the real protagonist in the legend of the holy grail.
At the same time, galahad is also the strongest martial arts among the knights of the Round Table — — Lancelot’s illegitimate child. Galahad inherited Lancelot’s valor, while galahad in Kingsman also inherited all the advantages of 007, and even he became more "unscrupulous" when he started hanging.
"big cousin"Dan Stevens — — Fantastic Night at the Museum 3
"Fight for the king" even if you have a nose: Don Quixote’s "chivalry"
The sense of honor, mission and responsibility has always been the core part of knight belief. Without these, knights are no longer knights, but only mercenaries who can fight. However, the romantic ranger era of "swear to the sword till death do us part" and "draw out a sword to help each other when the road is rough" has long been a thing of the past, and modern society has long been a world that pursues personal liberation and efficient legal system, so a certain pedantic and ridiculous "Don Quixote" spirit in the knight has also become the main content of the movie.
Because he can’t distinguish right from wrong, he can’t figure out the situation, and he can quickly get into the role, Sir Lancelot, played by Dan Stevens, the eldest cousin in the museum, has caused countless troubles to the night watchman in the museum. His loyalty and the spirit of accomplishing his mission at all costs have become the laughingstock of the whole people:
First, the Pharaoh’s gold medal was taken away as the Holy Grail, and then he broke into the stage play to admit that the main show was foolish and loyal, and the paragraph "I would rather not have my nose and fight for the king" showed this so-called "chivalry" that was "stupid and naive" incisively and vividly. However, the movie belongs to the movie. The legendary Sir Lancelot is a romantic, and his love affair with Arthur’s queen eventually led to the collapse of the knight of the Round Table.
Meng Xiao Xiong and the residents of "Greater London" — — Paddington bear
"Corrupt country" always welcomes you: you should be "human" in an orderly way.
The customs, traditions and long-standing civilization of one’s own country have always been a favorite of the British. Of course, behind self-mockery is strong self-confidence, but in fact, it is still a way to prove itself. Take the marmalade in Paddington Bear as an example. It is a delicious food in Britain, but the British don’t eat it. A bear who wanders from overseas can’t leave marmalade every time. In addition, the geographical society of looking at people through nostrils, the rare treasures collected from all over the world in the British Museum, all kinds of strange things in the lost and found station, and the gloverall’s horn button coat on Paddington Bear are all native products of Britain. Of course, London, which has been raining, will never escape the eyes of the screenwriter. There are 107 descriptions of the rainy season in the records left by the explorers to the Paddington bears.
Of course, spitting is not the key point of this film. What the film expresses is a burning heart under the cold appearance of the British. The human touch is the key to the film. Whether it’s the family that adopted the bear or the British people who follow the procedure and are meticulous and "keep calm", they all have a rigid and somewhat "sprouting" flavor.
The royal guard who appeared in the second half of the film is also an excellent example. In real life, this group of guards is famous for their good temper, and their faces are seriously allowed to be teased by tourists. In the story, the role of the guard plays a "cold humor" — — Their hats are simply a "small warehouse" filled with all kinds of "afternoon tea snacks". This paragraph has a source. If you have seen the banned restricted animation "The Story of a Great Britain", you will understand that hiding food in a hat and stuffing a vacuum cleaner in a chrysanthemum are actually the same thing in the hearts of the people of a corrupt country.
