      i believe it because i want to believe it

      FRANK CAPRA+ROBERT RISKIN One after another unbeaten records flooded the United States in the 1930s. Looking after one by one, there is always a sense of ambivalence that is divorced from reality and firmly grasped by reality. In Shangri-La, the Great Lama and Conway are always talking about wars and human disputes outside the world. There is no magic formula in Shangri-La, but there is an immortal kindness. Some people left their lives to be happy, some left as punishment and God sentenced...

      The lost blockbuster

      An absolute blockbuster, in the 1937 era

      Judging from the only remaining stills, the starring, the art, the set, and the special effects of that era, such as avalanches, are definitely ahead of the time.

      Although due to the lack of film and the shortcomings of the recording technology at the...

      Understand that the so-called film adaptation can only reflect 10% of the original

      Although both the original and the film inevitably carry the Western "pride and prejudice" towards China, Conway has been my favorite fictional character almost from the time I read the original (of course). , I've read too few books, and I don't know too many fictional characters, which is also one of the reasons that make Conway the meat on the apex of my heart).

      Conway's character is described in the original book as follows:

      "There's...

      Shangri-La is more like the Garden of Eden

    The origin of "Shangri-la". It's a beautiful, concise, and clean movie. I haven't read the original, but the characters in the film are already perfect, and the character of the characters fits well with the tension of the plot. Although the film There is a difference between Chinese culture and the characteristics of Tibetan areas, but it seems to be a trivial matter in the whole film. Everyone is intensively searching for the...

    Movie quotes

    • Robert Conway: I think I'm going to like it here.

    • [last lines]

      Lord Gainsford: Gentlemen, I give you a toast. Here's my hope that Robert Conway will find his Shangri-La. Here's my hope that we all find our Shangri-La.

    • [a content Conway concluding a romantic interlude with Sondra]

      Robert Conway: You know, when we were on that plane, I was fascinated by the way the shadow followed us. That silly shadow! Racing along over mountains and valleys, covering ten times the distance of the plane, and yet always there to greet us... with outstretched arms when we landed. And I've been thinking that, somehow, you're that plane, and I'm that silly shadow. That all my life I've been rushing up and down hills, leaping rivers, crashing over obstacles, never dreaming that one day that beautiful thing in flight would land on this earth and into my arms.
