But anyway, when the Liberation came, the family resumed their ritzy lives back in the their properties. The period costumes which are authentic and detailed. I also enjoyed seeing the actresses and actors in their younger days. It was a comedy that is neither slapstick, situational or toilet that we are so used to seeing in many of the comedy films these days. Pacing is fast, which is one thing I like in movies.
Movies really do a good job documenting a nation's history, sometimes unconsciously.
I also noticed that sometimes movies become good indicators of how good or how bad the economy of the country is at the time those movies were done. It is most evident in the storyline, the characters portrayed and the sets used. Of course, stories of suffering and poverty cannot help but creep in when a director is working on a economic crisis, otherwise it will not be realistic enough.
