You were jactating through to midday twenty 4 00:00:15,813 --> 00:00:17,533 Speaker 2: five to ten in time to catch up with our 5 00:00:17,613 --> 00:00:19,773 Speaker 2: film reviewer, Francesca Rudkin Kildo. 6 00:00:20,813 --> 00:00:21,413 Speaker 3: Good morning. 7 00:00:22,093 --> 00:00:24,293 Speaker 2: Two films to talk us through this morning. Let's start 8 00:00:24,333 --> 00:00:27,413 Speaker 2: off with one that is showing at the French Film Festival. 9 00:00:27,453 --> 00:00:30,573 Speaker 2: Tell us about Marguerite's theorem. 10 00:00:30,893 --> 00:00:33,933 Speaker 3: So every festival is one or two characters who you 11 00:00:34,093 --> 00:00:36,933 Speaker 3: just love a little bit more than the others, and 12 00:00:37,173 --> 00:00:40,133 Speaker 3: Marguerite is a character that I absolutely fell in love with. 13 00:00:40,533 --> 00:00:43,693 Speaker 3: She's played by Ala Ulf, who is a French Swiss 14 00:00:43,693 --> 00:00:47,733 Speaker 3: actress who won the Rising Star Award at the Savar 15 00:00:47,813 --> 00:00:51,453 Speaker 3: Awards sort of like the French Film Awards earlier in 16 00:00:51,453 --> 00:00:54,133 Speaker 3: the year. Ben in a film she plays as brilliant 17 00:00:54,173 --> 00:00:58,893 Speaker 3: young mathematician and her world crumbles when a new student 18 00:00:58,933 --> 00:01:02,413 Speaker 3: at a university signs a flaw in her thesis. So 19 00:01:02,453 --> 00:01:06,493 Speaker 3: she's presenting this dissitation which she's spent many many years 20 00:01:06,493 --> 00:01:09,933 Speaker 3: dedicating her life too, and it's very quickly all falls apart, 21 00:01:10,373 --> 00:01:13,333 Speaker 3: and she kind of falls apart as you would, and 22 00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:16,853 Speaker 3: she's deemed overly emotional by her professor, she abruptly quits 23 00:01:16,853 --> 00:01:19,213 Speaker 3: the university and she kind of heads out into the 24 00:01:19,253 --> 00:01:21,613 Speaker 3: real world for the first time of her life. Because 25 00:01:22,173 --> 00:01:25,493 Speaker 3: she's always loved math. She's been in this very academic world, 26 00:01:25,533 --> 00:01:29,533 Speaker 3: and she's sort of adorably naive really to the real 27 00:01:29,573 --> 00:01:32,813 Speaker 3: world and normal relationships and all this kind of things. 28 00:01:33,333 --> 00:01:37,133 Speaker 3: And she's very logical, but she's got this really big, 29 00:01:37,173 --> 00:01:40,293 Speaker 3: beautiful brain, and it inevitably does bring her back to mathematics, 30 00:01:40,293 --> 00:01:42,813 Speaker 3: but with a whole new perspective that she's gained on 31 00:01:42,853 --> 00:01:45,413 Speaker 3: what it means to be human by just getting out 32 00:01:45,413 --> 00:01:50,493 Speaker 3: in the world and having a job and making friends 33 00:01:50,693 --> 00:01:53,573 Speaker 3: and kind of, you know, discovering a bit of love. 34 00:01:53,733 --> 00:01:56,413 Speaker 3: So it's just this lovely coming of ague story that's 35 00:01:56,413 --> 00:01:59,773 Speaker 3: a really great journey, fabulously acted. As I say, I 36 00:01:59,853 --> 00:02:02,053 Speaker 3: just kind of I got right behind her as a 37 00:02:02,133 --> 00:02:05,053 Speaker 3: character and really enjoyed it. So that's frending at the 38 00:02:05,053 --> 00:02:08,333 Speaker 3: French Film Festival, which will take place across the country 39 00:02:08,493 --> 00:02:09,693 Speaker 3: for the next month or two. 40 00:02:09,933 --> 00:02:13,333 Speaker 2: Very good. Okay, now for something completely different. I'm not 41 00:02:13,373 --> 00:02:17,093 Speaker 2: sure that this one's necessarily festival bait, but let's have 42 00:02:17,093 --> 00:02:20,973 Speaker 2: a listen to bad Boys ride or Die. We now 43 00:02:21,013 --> 00:02:24,413 Speaker 2: have evidence that the lead, Captain Conrad Howard, of Miami PD, 44 00:02:24,733 --> 00:02:27,493 Speaker 2: was working directly with drug cartels for years. 45 00:02:29,573 --> 00:02:31,813 Speaker 1: Captain Howard's being friend. 46 00:02:33,613 --> 00:02:37,813 Speaker 3: Don't trust anybody. You're my bad boy, you're my name. 47 00:02:40,133 --> 00:02:48,013 Speaker 2: You should be goodful Bye, Bam. Will Smith is Beck. 48 00:02:48,933 --> 00:02:51,773 Speaker 3: Hey is Beck. This is the fourth installment of this 49 00:02:51,853 --> 00:02:54,693 Speaker 3: franchise that started in nineteen ninety five. 50 00:02:55,093 --> 00:02:55,573 Speaker 2: Wow. 51 00:02:56,213 --> 00:02:59,093 Speaker 3: And I went this with my teenage daughter and we 52 00:02:59,213 --> 00:03:01,493 Speaker 3: had a lot of fun. But she walked down too 53 00:03:01,653 --> 00:03:03,853 Speaker 3: and said, I don't think there's one thing in that 54 00:03:04,053 --> 00:03:08,973 Speaker 3: film that is truthful about being detectives. And I said, Darling, 55 00:03:09,213 --> 00:03:12,093 Speaker 3: I think you're probably right. And there's the whole point 56 00:03:12,213 --> 00:03:14,813 Speaker 3: that is supposed to be fun and over the top 57 00:03:14,853 --> 00:03:17,573 Speaker 3: and ridiculous and corny, but they know they put a 58 00:03:17,573 --> 00:03:20,093 Speaker 3: little bit of heart in there as well. They've strong 59 00:03:20,173 --> 00:03:21,653 Speaker 3: quite a bit of money at this jack that's around 60 00:03:21,693 --> 00:03:24,453 Speaker 3: ninety billion US at this so it looks click, it 61 00:03:24,573 --> 00:03:26,933 Speaker 3: looks flash. Of course, it's an action comedy. It's a 62 00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:30,893 Speaker 3: buddy cop flick, not the most sophisticated storyline, but you 63 00:03:30,933 --> 00:03:33,973 Speaker 3: know what, the action keeps coming, the humor keeps coming, 64 00:03:34,253 --> 00:03:38,293 Speaker 3: the entertainment keeps coming. You kind of don't. It's okay, Yeah, 65 00:03:38,333 --> 00:03:41,533 Speaker 3: you'll you'll take the plot, you'll take kind of what 66 00:03:41,573 --> 00:03:44,853 Speaker 3: you get. Really, this film does race. The success really 67 00:03:44,893 --> 00:03:48,373 Speaker 3: does rely on that chemistry between Will Smith and Martin 68 00:03:48,453 --> 00:03:51,773 Speaker 3: Lawrence who play these two detectives, Mike and Marcus, and 69 00:03:51,773 --> 00:03:56,053 Speaker 3: that's a critical component and they actually do have great chemistry. 70 00:03:56,533 --> 00:03:59,533 Speaker 3: Do we actually need another one of these films? No? 71 00:03:59,693 --> 00:04:02,773 Speaker 3: Probably not. Did Will Smith lead this film? Yes? I 72 00:04:02,773 --> 00:04:05,693 Speaker 3: think he did because he plays an incredibly likable character 73 00:04:05,973 --> 00:04:09,813 Speaker 3: who reminds us of this amazing star power. It sort 74 00:04:09,813 --> 00:04:11,893 Speaker 3: of enables us to kind of forget some of the 75 00:04:11,973 --> 00:04:15,013 Speaker 3: stupid nonsense that's been taking place in Israel life, and 76 00:04:15,053 --> 00:04:17,053 Speaker 3: we just remember that when he's on stage. You know, 77 00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:19,493 Speaker 3: when he's on screen, he has this incredible star power. 78 00:04:19,653 --> 00:04:22,413 Speaker 3: But actually it's probably Laurrance who shines the most. He 79 00:04:22,453 --> 00:04:24,213 Speaker 3: gets a lot of the comedy. He's had a near 80 00:04:24,213 --> 00:04:26,493 Speaker 3: death experience, but here's a different perspective on life, and 81 00:04:26,493 --> 00:04:30,413 Speaker 3: he's quite funny about it and ridiculous. So he kind 82 00:04:30,413 --> 00:04:32,173 Speaker 3: of steals the show when it comes to the comedy 83 00:04:32,213 --> 00:04:34,733 Speaker 3: sides thing. So it is what it is we are 84 00:04:34,773 --> 00:04:37,693 Speaker 3: in blockbuster season is when North America just put out 85 00:04:37,933 --> 00:04:41,733 Speaker 3: all the amazing you know, these big entertaining blockbusters, popcorn 86 00:04:41,773 --> 00:04:44,493 Speaker 3: films for their summer and we're in the middle of this. 87 00:04:44,773 --> 00:04:47,493 Speaker 3: So you know what it is. What it is, You 88 00:04:47,573 --> 00:04:49,853 Speaker 3: know what you're going to get when you walk into it. Yeah, 89 00:04:50,573 --> 00:04:53,013 Speaker 3: if that's what you're in the mood for, go for it. 90 00:04:52,693 --> 00:04:53,533 Speaker 3: It's fun. 91 00:04:54,213 --> 00:04:57,333 Speaker 2: I think you can lean in a bit. You can 92 00:04:57,493 --> 00:04:59,293 Speaker 2: lean in just for a bit of dumb fun. 93 00:05:00,933 --> 00:05:03,573 Speaker 3: Actually, Jack, if you do remember the original, this is 94 00:05:03,613 --> 00:05:06,733 Speaker 3: probably closer to the original than the last two films, 95 00:05:06,773 --> 00:05:09,573 Speaker 3: which kind of didn't really quite fire. So they've kind 96 00:05:09,613 --> 00:05:11,293 Speaker 3: of they've found them. They've got in my Joback. 97 00:05:11,653 --> 00:05:13,093 Speaker 2: Is fifty million too much? 98 00:05:14,973 --> 00:05:17,613 Speaker 3: Oh? Of course it is, no, But I'll take it. 99 00:05:17,733 --> 00:05:21,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, okay. So yeah, if the choice is 100 00:05:21,653 --> 00:05:25,213 Speaker 2: fifty million or nothing, you go with the fifteen million. Thanks. Okay, 101 00:05:25,253 --> 00:05:27,573 Speaker 2: what about this? If the choice is fifty million or 102 00:05:27,613 --> 00:05:28,493 Speaker 2: ten million, what do. 103 00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:28,733 Speaker 1: You do. 104 00:05:32,853 --> 00:05:36,533 Speaker 3: This all? Do you know what I'll take. I'll be honest, 105 00:05:36,733 --> 00:05:38,813 Speaker 3: I'll take the fifty because what I could do with 106 00:05:38,853 --> 00:05:41,933 Speaker 3: fifty million could be incredible, and I would I would 107 00:05:42,013 --> 00:05:43,813 Speaker 3: be the kind of I would probably still tune up 108 00:05:43,813 --> 00:05:45,493 Speaker 3: into the Sunday session because I love my show and 109 00:05:45,493 --> 00:05:46,573 Speaker 3: I think it would be very good for me to 110 00:05:46,573 --> 00:05:49,213 Speaker 3: be grounded to work. But I but there's what I 111 00:05:49,253 --> 00:05:51,813 Speaker 3: could do with that, and the people I could help, 112 00:05:52,053 --> 00:05:55,293 Speaker 3: And you know, I've got a list of things in 113 00:05:55,293 --> 00:05:57,693 Speaker 3: my head that i would absolutely put that money into. 114 00:05:58,573 --> 00:06:00,413 Speaker 2: So I sort of pictured you behind the wheel of 115 00:06:00,413 --> 00:06:06,693 Speaker 2: a late model McLaren or something like that.
