Reviews on movie The Speech (2)

The French have always been famous for their humor. Comedies, in my opinion, are the genre in which they excel the most. But to call “The Bachelor at the Wedding” only an entertaining spectacle, I would not be in a hurry. The main character of the film - Adrien is experiencing a pause in relations with his beloved Sonya, repeatedly breaking the fourth wall in front of the viewer with his thoughts on this matter. Reflections of the hero sometimes resemble scenes from the familiar film “What Men Talk About”, except that Adrien has no friends as such. The entire timeline of the picture, he will talk to the viewer, scrolling through the possible scenarios in his head, in which Sonya will respond to the cherished SMS and a new stage will come in their relationship.
The morality of “The Bachelor” is extremely clear, and can become that life-saving therapy, a push for confused and lowered hands, because of the suddenly departed halves, people. Director Laurent Tirard explores Adrien’s complex problem. In the film, there is a place not only for the relationship between the former couple - most of the picture takes place at the family table, at which the whole life of the hero is revealed. His lost relationship with his once close sister is replaced by memories of his own awkward youth, which brought him more disappointments than joyous moments. The hero analyzes the petrified, painted roles of his parents at a family dinner. With his pause in the relationship, he finally got into the necessary vacuum in which a person (if he is not a complete idiot) must turn back, look around and work on his mistakes. Accept yourself and your immediate society, let go of the unnecessary and start doing meaningful things more decisively.
“The Bachelor at the Wedding” is a traditional European drama, a monologue in which the hapless and slightly dorky hero rethinks his life against the backdrop of losing the really important. Do not expect him to have fun and a series of hilarious situations. Laurent Tirard took a pill for those who need to distract from the endlessly long wait for changes in their own destiny. After all, the rule for these situations is always the same – to change the environment, you have to change yourself.

The case when the Russian localization of the name radically does not correspond to reality and rather repels from viewing, creating a deliberately false impression. To top it off, the poster also gives the impression of a bachelor party in Vegas, but not what the movie is.

Why is this happening? Unfortunately, the mass Russian viewer is more likely to go on something like this, thinking that he is waiting for a rusty-fart comedy, only after watching the first 15 minutes, he will realize that he was fooled and, most likely, will leave. Of course, this does not apply to everyone, but the statistics of fees, as well as endless domestic comedies of this genre speak not in favor of the viewer.

So what exactly is this film, the title of which in the original sounds like 'Toast'? This is a thoughtful film with sparkling humor, which sometimes even crosses the line of what is allowed, going into light sarcasm and irony, the classic European humor of French cinema.
In the story, the characters are experiencing a crisis inherent in each of us - a crisis of love, or rather confidence in it. Are we not afraid to tie the knot to a person who, in fact, may not be completely familiar to us? On the example of the three stages of marriage, the main character will talk about relationships, not forgetting to add a couple of peppers jokes.
I highly recommend this beautiful painting to view.
