The last Wednesday
afternoon we decided to go to the cinema. That day in Multikino people
who are users of Orange telecommunications operator could buy one ticket for
two so we took the opportunity very quickly.
There
were many movies to choose due to this fact we had difficulty in making our
final decision. That time the cinema offered a few cartoons, one
science-fiction, one thriller and two commedy movies. As I detest science
fiction and as we are not children, our options decreased. Initially, we
intended to watch a movie of family Stuhr called 'Citizen' but having read the
viewers' reviewes, we finally chose a french commedy 'Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?'.
I
cannot remember when I have been laughting so much watching the
movie.
The
action of the film takes place in Paris and in a small town when live the
parents of brides. You may asked brides? It means that there were organised one
big wedding for a few couples?
Not
exactly but if you think this way, you are near the right answer.
The parents Verneuil have four daughters (oh,
irony of fate). Three of them are just got married but not in a Catholic confession
as the parents intended (especially mother, an ardent Catholic). First one
married an Arabian, the second a Jew and the third a Chinese. You can consider
what is wrong in mixed marriage? For the first sight nothing. The women have a
satisfied job and in the same time fulfil themselves in bringing up children.
However, one element disturbs the life of these married couples, that is the father Verneuil and more clearly his attitude to sons-in-law. For sure dad is
a racist who likes making causting comments about Jewish religious traditions,
always well-organised Chinese and no-pork eating Arabians. The opinions of
conservative French always collide with those liberal ideas of young immigrants
which always create funny situations and gags.
The father does not lose his hope to have a French son-in-law because of his maiden daughter
who intends to marry a Catholic but it turns out not to be so easy...
For me this movie
jeers stereotypes related with people of various nations who live in France and
also in another foreign country. Shows that not everything which is different
must be worse or dangerous for us. I recommend this movie for those of You who
would like to spend time watching a movie which presents our racial antipathy
in a satirical way.
