    Thus in your field/My seed of harverstry will thrive/for the fruit is like me that I set/God bids me tend it with good husbandry/This is the end for which we twain are...

    This is not a gangster. Although there is a bogart, he is obviously a supporting role. He doesn't have the edge in gangster movies, but he is a fallen and confused gangster. The male protagonist is like a humanist scholar, and uses some philosophical statements to influence others. The play in the tavern is very exciting. In a closed space, various characters are displayed, and it does not make people feel tired at all. It reminds me of "Twelve Angry...

    The lines are very interesting. The first half is a bit dull, but the gangsters break into the gas station and start all kinds of magic tricks. Actors are all good actors, but sometimes they feel like acting too much like a stage...

    The stage play has obvious traces. In fact, it can be a little more cinematic, especially in the lines. Although it is beautiful and poetic, it is a little embarrassing to listen to the actors on the big screen. It is very good to gather people to make group portraits in a short period of time...

    Feel the crush of my grandmother: Leslie Howard! It's like the Continental Americans in Henry James's writings, elegant and weak, full of clever but useless words, so whimper. It's a pity that the last minute of the movie was so...

    Putting the stage play directly on the screen seems to be numb today for sure. However, Leslie Howard is enough, he is so sweet and light even to ask for...

The Petrified Forest quotes

  • Alan Squier: The trouble with me, Gabrielle, is I, I belong to a vanishing race. I'm one of the intellectuals.

    Gabrielle Maple: That, that means you've got brains!

    Alan Squier: Hmmm. Yes. Brains without purpose. Noise without sound, shape without substance.

  • Gabrielle Maple: Petrified forest is a lot of dead trees in the desert that have turned to stone. Here's a good specimen.

    Alan Squier: So that was once a tree? Hmmm. Petrified forest, eh? Suitable haven for me. Well, perhaps that's what I'm destined to become, an interesting fossil for future study.
