    It's not bad, when I grow up, I won't think about my previous dreams. Wood's acting is in place. I rarely see this kind of youth film from Hollywood. When I think of those youth films in modern times, I feel that there is something in this movie. Nolan, but it doesn't matter, Wood's short haircut is so...

    American tragedy, the eve of the collapse of the family. Bud's older sister, Ginny, disappears in the middle, and she becomes a ghost in the movie, and when Bud and Deanie can only stare at each other with nostalgic emotions, Ginny tells us another possibility. The seeds of rebellion without cause have been...

    Rather than depicting sexual repression, it is more about the inhibition of family and environment on people's desires. The whole theme is still very good. The people in small towns in the United States are really conservative to death, very much like the feudal society, and even in the current China, there is more or less a reference. Kazan's control is still effective, the camera feels dangerous and charming, and the characters' emotions are adjusted to a very thematic state, but this method...

    "Even if there is no more / To bring back the glory of the grassland / And the glory of the flowers / Let us not be sad / Why should we find the strength deep in our hearts." It fits perfectly with these sentences. A group of young people trapped in the era of the Great Depression were forced to give up their original ideals due to traditional education and the repression of the times. No fear of sadness. If you look at the title of the film, you will know that it will never be a certain...

    Though nothing can bring back the hour, splendor in the grass, glory of flower, we will grieve not; rather find, strength in what remains behind. —Wordsworth "Intimation of Immortality" Well written, Great Depression, South Town The joys and sorrows of the last two families, a young man who was sexually distressed in 1928. The female protagonist is too beautiful, and the male protagonist doesn't like it very...

    I don't like sexually repressed private goods very much. The plot added by the director affects the core of the script itself. It is superfluous to tell a deep story. It's not that sex itself is low, but that it's very deliberate and...

    The story of teenage sexual repression is very suitable for Chinese people to read. But I don't like what happened to the Bud family very much. The unrestrained sister died in a car accident, the authoritarian father jumped off the building, and Bud, who once betrayed Danny, became mediocre, and he dared to be derogatory to someone with a relatively open attitude. How is this different from the cliché that good people are...

    Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower, we will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. Wordsworth is so beautiful and so fitting. This film has a taste of youth and pain literature. The young man turns into a butterfly from the wound of growing up, and the beauty and regret of the past are all gone. Those who go can not be remonstrated, and those who come can still be...

    The story is vulgar, but the emotions are expressed so vividly and contagiously... At the end, when the heroine silently said "goodbye" with her mouth, it was really...

    'Splendor in the Grass': The first kiss on screen brought tears to my eyes

    Natalie Wood was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in 1961 for "Where There's No Grass". The filming was very successful and moved people's hearts quite a bit, reflecting the mentality of middle school students in the relationship between men and women at that time. "Where is the End...

    The saddest romance movie I've ever watched

    To Eternity(william wordsworth)

    What though the radiance which was once so bright
    Be now for ever taken from my sight,
    Though nothing can bring back the hour
    Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower
    We will grieve not, but rather find
    Strength in what remains behind.

    The once splendid and...

Splendor in the Grass quotes

  • Bud: Deanie, you're a nice girl.

    Wilma Dean: I'm not. I'm not a nice girl.

  • Miss Metcalf: Now, what do you think the poet means by this line ? Deanie Loomis.

    Wilma Dean: I'm sorry, Miss Metcalf. I... I didn't hear the question.

    Miss Metcalf: Well, I know it's Spring, Deanie, but I must ask you to pay more attention. I quoted some lines from Wordsworth's Ode on Intimations of Immortality, Deanie. Did you hear them ?

    Wilma Dean: I'm afraid not Miss Metcalf.

    Miss Metcalf: Well, then I must ask to turn your text to page 380...

    Wilma Dean: Yes.

    Miss Metcalf: You read the lines to me. Stand, please.

    Wilma Dean: "Though nothing can bring back the hour/Of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower/We will grieve not. Rather find/Strengh in what remains behind..."

    Miss Metcalf: Now, perhaps you can tell me exactly what the poet means by such expressions as "Splendor in the grass" and "Glory in the Flower".

    Wilma Dean: Well, I think it have some...

    Miss Metcalf: Yes ?

    Wilma Dean: Well, when we're young, we looks at thing very idealistically I guess. And I think Woodsworth means that... that when we're grow-up... then, we have to... forget the ideals of youth... and find strength... Miss Metcalf, may I please be...?
