The Irreversible Role of a Mother

Certainly very dramatic, but it is also extremely entertaining. I cannot help but imagine what the men who just came back from the War would have felt about Mildred's character in the film. The portrayal of Mildred is also entertaining, much like the woman who were thrusted into work in the 40's, Joan Crawford's character is also thrown into the world of business. The theme of gender reversal in the movie is apparent, so is the symbolic representation of each character, all of which are well...

melodrama paradigm

How to make a J.Cain novel, I think Curtiz is more successful than Wilder. Curtiz is good at dealing with the moral dilemmas of characters, and the dilemma is his forte. And J.Cain is not a tough guy in the real sense. Whether it is double insurance, the postman always rings the bell twice or the sea of ​​lust, he is not a tough guy. Although they are all based on the clues of murder, the focus is not on finding the real murderer, but on the cause of the tragedy.

Therefore, J.Cain's...

"Desire of the Sea" | An adaptation different from the original

Because I watched Wilder's "Double Indemnity" (adapted from James M. Cain's novel of the same name, "Double Indemnity"), I also learned that "Desire" is also adapted from Kane's other women and families The theme novel, then read it. Also film noir, screenwriters are vastly different in how screenwriters adapt and directors approach film style and dramatic structure and themes.

Kane's original novel focuses on the female protagonist Mildred from a third-person perspective, creating an...

The Vague Self-Portrait in the Chaotic Patterns - Joan Crawford's "Desire"

It has nothing to do with the intertwined affection and love, nothing to do with the romantic and euphemistic gorgeous chapters, only the cold and lonely banyan with the lonely and lonely red, only the consonance and earnest warning of the parents' hearts. Romanticism teaches us to banish the affections of human nature, while conservatism requires us to repent of the affections of lust.
Mild is a mother who sacrifices everything for her daughter. Her temperament is open and...

gunshots that accompany the close-up

The mirror shattered and later, there was a fire burning in the mirror. See you, let me hear, there are wings flapping all around. The rhythm in the front was very slow, and the middle part suddenly accelerated. The dead daughter immediately visited the business and the business was booming. There was only one scene, and the great sadness was followed by the great joy. The shot that cuts back to reality is very special. At 1 hour and 16 minutes, the superimposed painting under the shutters...

In the end, it turned into a brutal incest drama. Crawford, the mother and daughter characters, are really mentally ill, especially the dead...

How to effectively get used to a superb bear child? The answer: love, unconditional, uncontrollable, deep to blind pampering. This film can be called a history of a divorced mother's hard work and self-improvement, and what supported her to overcome all difficulties was to satisfy all material desires of her eldest daughter without reservation, and finally raised a white-eyed wolf. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, they dig their own pits and enter them by themselves. In addition,...

Milder is Vader, and Vader is Milder. Mother-daughter relationship, the taboo of hating mothers expressed by love against the mask. Little Vida is too hateful. Mild is independent, diligent, intelligent, and advocating freedom. It is a pity that such a good quality was not conveyed to his daughter, and the education failed. As a classic movie, it is a good work of black plus drama. Joan Crawford has all kinds of beauty, and the little Vida actor is also...

The name doesn't really fit the movie. Joan Crawford did a great job, with big eyes that sparkle. The three men in the film are all around her, and they want to make money if they want to start a business. No wonder her daughters are vicious and jealous of her. The kind of mother-daughter relationship revealed in the film is impressive, with daughters always hating their mothers and falling in love with their fathers. It's hard to believe that it's the same person as Joan Crawford in the Grand...

It's a pretty good noir movie, a little better than expected. It's one of the better looking black and white movies. The part involving black is especially well done. The final suspense is also pretty good, although Not a big reversal, but still exciting enough. But I am not particularly satisfied with the description and interpretation of the relationship between the characters in this film. In other words, the role of my daughter is portrayed too shamelessly. I feel like a normal person can't...
