FILM REVIEW:
Comedies are hard to make, and war comedies are especially so. Strictly speaking, the French film "King of Kings" (1982), starring Belmondo, can't necessarily be considered a comedy, but the comedic elements of the film are so obvious that it's reasonable to consider it a borderline war comedy. The director's grasp of the subject matter doesn't consistently carry a comedic flavor through the film, but rather uses biting satire to poke fun at the Nazis in key passages.
The movie takes the action-comedy route of "Die Hard. The film mirrors "Die Hard" in terms of content and presentation, relying on thrilling chase scenes, slapstick action, intelligent and humorous dialogue, and the charisma of its stars to drive the story forward. Hitler's sister (an old woman who can't get married) appears in the movie, and her relationship with her brother and the dialog between them is hilarious. The film has drawn cheers from countless fans when it was shown in China, and the dubbed version by Shanghai Translation Factory is equally classic.
This is a heavy escape story, but here it becomes a touching story of warmth and caring that is not so heavy. Escape from death becomes the ultimate ending, and the happy and righteous King of Kings brings joy and hope. Always smiling, Belmondo's "King of Kings" successfully portrays the kind and brave spirit of a boxer, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
