Un petit bijou d'inventivité et d'absurde

Un petit bijou d'inventivité et d'absurde

jacques tati critiques the modernistic lifestyle that plagued the lovely whimsicality of traditionalism— where the people live among eachother without a care for theatricality, unnecessary consumerism, and a routine of mundane cycles that diminishes the child-like wonderment. although he argues here that a balance between both worlds can easily be done!

i'm gonna explain this movie in minecraft terms; imagine you're playing with a friend and you both decide to make a house. as you build your house made of wood and stones which are easy to get, your friend decides to jump into the nether to get quartz to make a "modern" house. he is literally risking his life to acquire something he could just get at anytime, only to create what he thought is a better looking house that has the potential to impress you. after watching this movie though, both of you decide to make a mansion together. which is a perfect blend of modernist scale and traditional architecture.

i think it's obvious that the set pieces, the visual comedy, and running gags are hilariously brilliant and truly remarkable. heck tati is known for that! and for a movie made in 1958 it's incredible that a man could envisioned something like this in the first place.

Beyond Mon Once’s antics and slapstick shenanigans (which are tastefully done), lies a social economic lesson crafted by Tati that transcends decades and generations. Boring wealthy people will do everything within their budget and social circles to appear like eccentric people, but want nothing to do with the community that corresponds with the actual eccentrics. Flashy gadgets, unusual furniture and colorful cars ornate their lives, but exclude building a community with people less fortunate than themselves. Fences are built; the perimeter is secured and monitored to keep those people out. God forbid, the commoner could look inside their empty vain homes. Oh, and the movie is incredibly hilarious.
