      walk with me

      The blockbuster "Nuns Are Crazy" is based on this film. In fact, the film was also very popular that year, and won seven Academy Awards including Best Picture Oscar. Songying amphibious superstar Bin. Crosby plays a young priest tasked with taking over a financially struggling parish. He used his composing talent, and with his easy-going style, he trained street children to become choirs, toured to raise money, and finally solved the problem of funds for the reconstruction of the church....

      collision of ideas

      Going My Way (1944) - Best Picture at the 17th Academy Awards The

            story is similar to "Spring in the Cattle Class", and some people say it is the predecessor of "Nuns Are Crazy", but I haven't seen this one. With the theme of truth, goodness and beauty as the main theme, the film successfully expresses the theme of church innovation. The characters of the three priests and the collision of ideas between them create a lot of comedic interest. It's a warm healing movie, but it's a...

      Healing positive energy

      17. Walk with Me
        This movie is full of love and warmth. It is a good positive energy movie, giving people love and hope.
        The songs in the movie are wonderful, the old priest is very cute, and the male protagonist is a perfect man. He is kind, thoughtful, generous, loves to help others, and has excellent arranging skills. He is smart and wise, always thinking of others.
        The movie portrays the characters so perfectly, I have nothing to say. I don't know if this is a religious...

      Carmen and the sermon, he chooses to go his own way (with soundtrack & lyrics)

      Carmen and preaching, two lives.

      He chose to go his own way (Going My Way), and there must be Rainbow Valley at the other end of the road.

      Religion healing the wounds of war, calling for the return of traditional values, and Bing Crosby's excellent soundtrack were the reasons why "Walk With Me" won the 1944 Academy Award.

      Because the original soundtrack is too wonderful, I don't want to interpret the meaning this time, just like in human life, reason has always been the...

      Not worthy of the award

      The story is also too ordinary. If such a plot can also win the Oscar, my personal experience is that the golden man can be taken casually. The movie has no climax, the educational significance is not deep enough, the love is not vigorous enough, the emotional drama is not thought-provoking enough, and there are many singing scenes. It is estimated that the award is for these songs. Is the taste of the Oscars in the last century equivalent to the Indian films today? The most ridiculous Is it...

      The jerkyness of early films. Young priests bring vitality to the impoverished parish, always take care of the feelings of others, encourage young girls to sing, organize youth choirs, play golf with old priests, and their charisma has conquered countless...

      The story is only a slightly interesting level, simple and straightforward, too warm, and the theme is related to religion and music, which is earlier than "The Sound of Music" and "Spring in the Cattle...

      That old priest is so...

    Movie plot

    In the forty-six-year-old St. Dominican Church, the old priest in charge of the church, Keith, has served for 45 years. His patterns of thought and behavior have grown out of step with the times. He put the church in crisis by not being able to repay its loans. The young Father Omani came to take over the diocese on the order of the bishop. In order to save Keith's face without telling the truth, he volunteered to assist Keith in the...

    Evaluation action

    The story of the film is not dramatic. The choreographer mainly uses the character contrast of Omani and Keith to create conflict and interest, and draw the audience's attention through some life-like details. Director Leo McCarey handles the rhythm of the film with a comedy sketch, and the film spends most of its time in a coherent plot with independent short performances and fast-fading cutscenes. Although this processing method...

    • Ted Haines Sr.: Where have you been the last two weeks?

      Ted Haines Jr.: Well, dad, I've been in a blue heaven dancing on a pink cloud. She came in on a moonbeam.

      Ted Haines Sr.: That's a lie. I had you followed.

      Ted Haines Jr.: That wasn't cricket, dad. When you were my age, I didn't follow you around.

    • Father Chuck O'Malley: [to Father Fitzgibbons as he goes to chip a golf shot out of a sand trap] Keep your head down now, father. And watch your language.

    • Father Fitzgibbons: Hope? You know, Chuck, when you're young, it's easy to keep the fires of hope burning bright. But at my age, you're lucky if the pilot light doesn't go out.
