A good comedy that causes conflicting feelings. The film is very simple plot and bribes with its uncomplicated rudeness. No, this rudeness does not concern the play of actors or images. It's a pretty straightforward thing to do here -- what would we do if we suddenly got rich? It’s a pretty common story and it’s not for nothing. It is not that a person becomes rich, such a thing is ordinary and banal, but that he becomes rich suddenly. This contrast, when you have not yet had time to change yourself, money has not yet taken possession of you, and you do not deserve them, did not give any part of yourself in return, all this resembles a journey into a fairy tale (in fairy tales it is often used). For example, the same "Light." If anyone has experienced this, they will understand. A coveted fat pack of dollars, oh, how much wonderful euphoria is hidden in it and how funny this amount will seem to you in a few years. How excited you are to remember a box of chocolate when you were a student and how indifferent you are to yesterday’s incredibly expensive dinner.
In addition, “If I Were Rich” film is quite respectable, it carries healthy looks, perhaps because it shows a typical little man, whom we loved at all times both Gogol and Dostoevsky. Aldo Bonard, a modest, smiling fellow who resembles a hobbit in everything, works in a trading company, barely making ends meet (for a respectable Frenchman). Not to be confused with our reality and unemployed Moroccans, running for customers and suddenly finds his magic ring.
Here, in continuation of the main topic, the question is what money can make of a person. Actor Jean-Pierre Darrussen perfectly coped with the role, or maybe he did not have to play. A team of unfamiliar actors has the advantage of not having the biases ever imposed on anyone. It's been a long time since Harry Potter, for example, and his characters are still little wizards.
Comedy with a special tonality, brightly sparkling it can not be called, although there are very funny moments, in all the same, some indescribable irony passes through. Some images cause conflicting feelings and they show the idea of the director. Aldo Bonara’s wife was played by Italian actress Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi (the French woman is beautiful), the only one I have ever seen.
The characters of the characters are carefully drawn, the sound range is very bright and unusual, these sounds are recognizable and this is the first thing that catches the eye (ears) when watching this film. A full set of wonderful secondary images, all the way I love - an ugly banker, a cheerful friend of Aldo's wife with a lover, ridiculous friends.
The film, of course, does not claim to the depths of the universe, and he has another mission, because he lifts the mood and rubs some hidden coarse strings of the soul. Of course, rather frivolous annotations could not attract viewers and the cast did not assume this either. I watched the movie myself by accident and still do not part with it. Ten million euros? Of course, I want ten million euros. Right now, so I don't have to ruin my karma. I know we can’t win them in any lottery. Once, out of interest, I calculated the probabilities in the Russian Lotto, and instead of the assumed probability theory, I got only 3 percent. This can only be done on purpose, and not from time to time. That is, it turns out that 2 + 2 can be 3 or 5, as much as you like. It depends on whether we buy or sell.
