    If it wasn't for the slow pace (21st century vision), I would have given it 5 stars. Hollywood in the United States used to be very good at making movies. The writers and directors were all talented and talented, and there was no link in the chain. The heroine is really beautiful, and she can act again; I'm used to watching old movies, and I really don't like the current movie stars (especially actresses, because even HC is impossible). Debut's male protagonist is so handsome, no wonder Shi Tai...

    Was the screenwriter inspired by Wordsworth's poem to create such a script, or did he first come up with an idea for the script and then use it in the movie after finding it was a good match for Wordsworth's poem? In any case, this poem and this film are too suitable. In the film, only a few short lines in the poem are mentioned. In fact, not only these few lines and the whole poem match the temperament of the film. Embarrassing adolescence, heartbreaking growth, Kazan, and similar...

    Wow! Kazan Kazan! Inge Inge! A great classic that joins forces! Coupled with the legendary character of the two protagonists, this film is comparable to a streetcar named Desire! Such a vulgar story, such a proper presentation and questioning! After watching this film, the rebellion without a reason will no longer dominate the top of youth movies! Natalie Wood is so amazing! It's a female version of JAMES DEAN. Warren Beatty is still such a male prostitute, no wonder it's not popular in this...

    The title is taken from a poem by William Wordsworth, but the tone of the story is quite different from the poetic title. The hero and heroine from a conservative town in the south are under the pressure of feudal ethics (expressed as a strong Christian atmosphere) and their parents, and gradually fall into the mire of sexual repression, unable to extricate themselves. Coupled with the innocent feelings of boys and girls when the two fell in love, it is full of tragic meaning. . I originally...

    Americans were so conservative in their sexuality in the 1920s that not only society and parents would supervise their children's chastity, but even teenagers would feel self-blame and guilt for their sexual desires. After an indulgence, the fortunes of the two young men take a sharp turn. Kazan is very familiar with this kind of moral story, especially in portraying a woman who is deeply tortured by desire. Although the depth of Natalie Wood's character is not as deep as that of Vivien Leigh...

  • Bud: Hi, sweetheart.

    Bud: What ?

    Wilma Dean: I saw the way you were looking at her. I think she's disgraceful. Well, she stand there waiting for the...

    Bud: Now wait a minute, wait a minute. There is no reason in the world why I shouldn't see her.

    Wilma Dean: Then why were you speaking to her...

    Bud: What ? You think I'm not suppose to notice her ? It's that what you expect out of me ? I'm not even suppose to know girls like that exist, eh ?
