The Little Orphan (1948)
Nibbles and WW
Thanksgiving Day. A rich of food table. Nibbles has an endless appetite and Jerry is taking care of him. See how Nibbles is a potential candidate for eating the whole table. However, his intentions didn't come true, because Tom wanted to join, but in his own manner, as a provocator... At first,Tom tries to get the mice individually, but when they prove to act together, he starts attacking both of them, and loses. Notice how Jerry takes care of Nibbles, but they both get into trouble twice. Nibbles might be naive and stupid, but he surely can destroy this table, as opposed to Jerry. We can see how both sides progress from a decorative gun to these burning things. We see Nibbles crossing the line way too far by burning Tom with a candle and rocketing the champagne, though Tom is no longer trying to eat the mice, he is scared, but Nibbles won't stop, he doesn't even look. Finally, Tom destroys the cupboard, and raises the white flag, being buried in the ruins. There's barely anything left of the food, except for the turkey they then want to share and some leftovers. When I am watching it, I first think about why is Tom trying to fight on the table that he is probably supposed to guard, then why Jerry is overreacting. When Nibbles goes crazy, I pity Tom... Notice how while Jerry is saying the prayers and Tom is listening, Nibbles is only concentrated on being the first to get to the interesting part. And yes, he gets it as soon as the other two only touch the cutlery. Who wins this fight? Nibbles, because he gets the prize, and he does so because that's all he cares about :) The cartoon ends with finally full and happy Nibbles. He is the winner, and what matters to him matters to everyone in the end. Poor unsung hero Jerry. Notice how the music changes and always "defends" the mice team. Poor loser Tom. To me this is a 1948 lesson from WW I/II explained in a way that is possible to understand as a child. That's how I understand it, and I think it deserves 10/10. I really enjoyed this.
L'entente cordiale (2006)
Underrated, non-template and hilarious
Although not everyone would like the movie, what is obvious, I'll try to explain with taking no care of others who say that the movie is disappointing.
Actors' play was worth a few more times of re-watching the film. I think that Christian Clavier and Daniel Auteuil both perfectly acted their roles. There was no underplay that my eye could remark. They were incarnating a couple of losers who were pretending to be cool spies.
The scenario made me being interested in what will finally happen. When it seemed that everything would be over, there was something in the background to come up. I didn't guess the ending of the film. This means that the movie didn't follow those stupid templates.
As for humour, I was giggling from the beginning till the end of the movie. I think the movie deserves more that it was given. I liked it. A lot.
