Not so impressed with Gad Elmaleh before seeing his standup comedies. I thought the few films I saw with him were pretty average, didn't like the soft loser characters he played. Often wondered how could such lifeless dull eyes soften lover's heart thus overcome being a total dumb. Youtube gives me another chance to get to know Gad better... OH MY GAD! I wish my French was better so I could enjoy more clips. I find this one funny because it brings back my weird happy memory in France: where is Brian?!?!?! He is such a charming guy on stage, ça j'aime bien.

attends.. encore 10 secondes?

I have 10franc in my wallet.
It buys nothing but
it gives me the peace of mind
and reminds me of what love I had.

Finding love in the strangest places, so I was told. Sure, just look around you! This "love" is everywhere. What is love? It gives you pleasure, it troubles your heart, it confuses your judgement, it takes everything from you and it breaks your heart. It's not necessarily a good thing, but I crave for it. No, I refuse to take down this path therefore I persist in being so idiotic, in being so envious of your carelessness. I am not myself when you are around, just so to have your attention on me, however slight it may be. Can parallel lines ever meet? Well, nothing is impossible, but there's a price to pay for happiness.

Priceless, priceless indeed.

O but why this mundane, this lonesome life.

La doublure

Durée : 1h 25min.

Année de production : 2005

一直以來我還蠻算Francis Veber的忠實觀眾的。

久而久之，好像沒有新意了？還記得此片剛出時我還在里昂，廣告很大，愈看愈覺得俗氣，建立在經典之上的幽默定要有某方面的突破才能給人除了笑點以外的享受，老實說我覺得此片並沒有。。法式幽默總有一絲沉重的社會階級和性別以及種族上的束縛，即使在言語對話間以輕鬆的態度對這些種種制度問題調侃，字字句句似乎又可以瞬間讓你陷入思考這樣的制度問題。這是對人性自我的玩笑，當你覺得好笑時也就表示你被蓋括在此制度裡而不自知，幽默至高。

冷靜的女人可以掌控局面，但不代表她就不會受傷。
