When it comes to French comedies, fans must have watched "Tiger's Mouth" and "You Shut Up" to appreciate the unique comedic charm of French comedies.
The audience does not need to destroy the three views, but also bursts out laughing or smiling heartily.
So the movie recommended today won the second box office in 2012 in France, beating the Hollywood blockbuster released locally in the same period
Title: "Tracking Matthew the Long-tailed Leopard" aka "Tracking Masubi rami"
Douban score: 7.5 points, some fans commented that this is the French version of the "Tai 囧"
The film continues the three good traditions of French comedy (good looking, funny, fun), telling an animal protection story in an extremely romanticized exaggeration, criticizing the perverted psychology of the ambitionist, and making the dreams of fuerdai and di si come true.
The mode of the story is very simple, the urban bitter radio reporter and the stupid veterinary partner team up to explore, the collision and friction between the two is the biggest source of laughter, plus a villain who will eventually be deceived to the end, the standard "good or bad ugly" character setting becomes a solid scaffolding of the story narrative.
The radio reporter is a chattering nagging, the pet doctor hates to be called a liar, and when the movie repeatedly jokes about their weaknesses in multiple episodes and makes them ugly in front of everyone, the image of his character is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The film revolves around a long-tailed leopard that can "turn the sky upside down", and the shot of it lying by the river fishing with its tail is extremely cute.
This is a legendary mythical beast that becomes the focus of the pursuit of various people and horses in the story. Journalists use it to boost TV ratings, pet doctors use it to wash away their reputation as liars, and botanical professors use its food to make aphrodisiacs.
The reporter and doctor are the protectors of the long-tailed leopard, while the botany professor is bent on subduing it, and the struggle between the two camps for the long-tailed leopard becomes the scene of the dramatic conflict in the film.
To highlight the importance of the long-tailed leopard, the film also designed the mayan population existence, they told reporters and doctors that the long-tailed leopard is an important species to preserve the ecological balance, once lost, the volcano will erupt and humanity will perish.
From this point of view, although the film is the cloak of French comedy, its narrative borrows from the way hollywood apocalyptic themes are drawn, and at the same time, the theme is related to the relationship between man and nature in Miyazaki's cartoons.
