    This woman is so lucky to have love waiting for her ten years later. It's a history of struggle, puppy love, and race. The taste is a bit weird, and the script is wrong. John Gavin is a rare protagonist, and he is amazingly...

    A reference to the mirror, emphasizing the atmosphere and mood of the scene, or facing the self. Before Laura and Steve are public, when Laura goes downstairs, there is a triangle composition, and the frame is the daughter and Steve. The mother outside the frame also symbolizes "intervention" in it, thus achieving a triangular relationship. This kind of expression of love triangle has also been seen in "Bitter Rain and Spring Breeze" before. In addition, before this, Lola snubbed Steve twice...

    The English topic is really good! My first Sirk~ did have an anti-melodrama attitude in melodrama. In such a multi-line plot with ups and downs, Sirk has even managed to have a lot of semi-hidden details worth pondering in his calm depiction. The white mother-daughter line has the meaning of lust and love, and the black mother-daughter line coincides with the later Shadow. As for Sirk, what specific style will continue to be...

    After Jane said it was tear gas, V went to the toilet and tore a piece of tissue paper. . . Then what was assigned to me didn't come in handy ==. But is it true that foreign devils are more fragile emotionally, they really cry. . . I think this is a good film in terms of plot. The design is quite dramatic, and naturally it has no sense of reality. It is indeed a representative of national cinema. Btw, I also feel that the phrase "born to be hurt" casually said is so...

    One of the craziest movies I've ever seen. . . .

    What's wrong with not wanting to be black? Don't you have to be black to be called right? If it could change in reality, I guess I would become white. . . . At least in the US. . . .

    This is the same reason that poor children think their families are poor. In reality, which poor children do not...

    The breakdown of women, races, families.

    A family melodrama that emphasizes personal emotions, moral and ethical standards. One of the classic Hollywood genres produced for female audiences. During the transition period of American society in the 1950s, in the post-Paramount Act era, the producers began to consciously present the...
