      An in-depth chat about the Oscars

      In 1936, MGM relied on the musical "Song and Dance King Siegfried", which was a project that Universal Corporation could not afford its huge cost, and the screenwriter resold it with MGM, which had the most financial resources at the time. MGM made this film to the highest standards of luxury, and of course it was extremely profitable at 100 percent. It set off a wave of biopic musicals in the late 1930s, but it was still no match for the invasion of time. At that time, only nominated "Mrs....

      Real best wishes

      It’s an old movie from 1954, and the black-and-white picture shows a strong American comedy style, but I want to talk about the protagonist Diez.

He loves music and can play the trumpet, including when he is about to leave Manpu Town to go to the big city, he also said goodbye to the people who sent him with a smile. When he arrived in New York and told that he was about to...

      A mixture of a night of romance and a Smith tour of Washington

      The emotional line is like a romantic night, one is a male reporter and Bai Fumi, the other is a female reporter and Gao Fushuai. They are all used first, then lost, and everyone is happy in the end; the

      drama line is like Mr. Smith's tour of Washington, the male protagonist is kind and loyal, he runs into a wall everywhere in the materialistic world, he is conspired to frame him, and he is persecuted by shrewd politicians and cunning lawyers. It is possible, but evil does not...

      Thoughts

      After watching "Mr. Diez's Into the City", this 1936 movie is really wonderful. It is recommended to everyone in life who is regarded as a "freak". In the movie, the media deliberately cast a stranger who is out of place with the city into a madman and a laughing stock; take him to court to take his property, and the court witnesses also have a pair of old women who only think they are normal people...you will Don’t you think it’s absurd and funny? In real life, many people who think they...

      Ideal reality

      The reason why classics are classics is that they are still alive a hundred years later.

      This film more than eighty years ago uses a comedic approach to tell the attitude to life and the irony of the American national conditions at that time. Let's discuss the background of the times. In the 1930s, just after the financial crisis, Roosevelt issued a series of policies to help farmers, and the measures Diez took to help farmers in the film were also taken from this. The director's...

      ① "Mr. Deeds Comes to New York" ② Sudden rich and still sticking to his heart, despite all the hardships, he still insists It is the most comfortable theme for people to read the film. ④Every man is innocent, but he is guilty, but the innocent heart of the male version of Cinderella is regarded as crazy. This is an elegy of traditional...

      If it doesn't make a sound, it has already been a blockbuster. In the end, Cooper's court play is really handsome~ Kaplan's comedy is always permeated with a lot of philosophy of life, and many lines are still used today. People work hard to live and forget how to enjoy life. They built many magnificent palaces here, but they forgot to create the nobles who lived in...
