      The period films I like (the literal title of the film is more appropriate)

      Relive the movies you watched as a child. At that time, I was too young to fully understand the plot, but I remembered the decadent and handsome male protagonist and the beautiful and unparalleled female protagonist.
      The Hollywood movies of that era had a special mood, representing the golden age and the rise and development of color films, and the film themes and shooting techniques were improving. At that time, actresses could have both beauty and acting skills. Although they did not...

      The crystallization of the strength of two sexy superstars

      At first, it was aimed at Paul Newman, and I didn't have much hope, but it turned out to be an unexpectedly warm film.

       Paul, who was in his 30s at that time, also happened to interpret the more than 30 decadent protagonists in the film, and Elizabeth Taylor, another most beautiful woman in the world, was also brilliant. The acting skills of the two prove that they are not just beautiful and handsome, but more of a consummate acting skill.

       This movie is more like a warm...

      Starting from Paul Newman, study the image of male stars in China and the United States

      The movie has created a lot of images of classic men, although 99% of the female audience is very clear that these men do not exist in real life, and the one around them just needs to be pleasing to the eye.

      Paul Newman is very handsome, Marlon Brando is wild, James Dean is unruly, and Gary Grant is a gentleman, representing different personalities and temperaments. Handsome men will always attract girls.

      Watch Chinese, Hong Kong and Taiwan movies again and discover. . ....

      this is drama

      "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (USA, 1958, also known as The Fantastic Woman)
      features beautiful women, handsome men, Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor, and Tennessee Williams who can tell a story.

      This is another of his works after "A Streetcar Named Desire", which is full of desire, depression and struggle.
      Among them, the love between husband and wife, the love between father and son, and the love between friends are all intricate, and the portrayal is very exciting and profound....

      Awesome.

      The first time I watched it was about 10 years ago--sign it, and the second time I watched it about 4 years ago.
      After watching it twice and giving it 5 stars, one of the decisive reasons I still remember it is that Paul Newman is so handsome, so handsome Now. If I set a reference for my boyfriend, it would be him. And silent and tenacious, and I still clearly remember him wearing a white shirt and khaki pants.
      I like the plot too, there is no big evil. Man, the battle within the...

      Such a ridiculous movie. It feels like it should be a tragic story of a gay and his wife, but it turned into a vulgar family drama about inheritance Even XOXO with Elizabeth Taylor is disgusting. Absurd...
