Ninotchka

Love is above all else

This film takes place in beautiful Paris.
When the bell rings,
it does not mean that the alarm is sounded, but beautiful women will appear!
If the French turned off the lights,
it was not because of an air strike!



Billy Wilder's humor,
Greta Garbo's glamour and Melvin Douglas' enthusiasm
created this richer Liu Bieqian touch.
This is not a film review,
just a record of that unconscious smile,
nothing more....

Garbo smiled............

The production of the title of this film can be described as a waste of trouble. In May 1939, the tentative title was "We Want to Be Alone", and before the film was shot, it was changed to "Give Us This Day". But no one likes the top in New York. The alternative name "A Kiss from Moscow" was also rejected by the company's publicity director. His suggestion is "Intrigue in Paris". It's much more than that. There are a long list of candidates, "This Time for Keeps", "The Love Axis", "Time Out for...

Temperament-you can't surpass

I occasionally watched "Ninochka" starring Garbo at station B. I found it very interesting. Garbo is the queen of tragedy. In this comedy, she laughed out loud for the first time. At that time, this film used Garbo to laugh for advertising. Selling point, very popular. The success of the film does not lie in Garbo’s comedic talent, but in the characters and Garbo’s personalities very close to each other, plus the green leaves of the male protagonist Melvin Douglas are well contrasted, and the...

Gossip Ninochka

When Arnold Schwarzenegger was filming "Detective Red (1988)", director Walter Hill suggested that he draw inspiration from Garbo's performance. This is one of the films he has "studied" seriously.

Garbo is very worried about her comedy performances, and is especially afraid of drunken scenes, because she thinks that is very vulgar.

"Garbo laughed" is a slogan that was set before the script was completed. It can be said that the film itself was shot around this slogan....

The story of this film took place in that beautiful era. At that time, "Silena" (note: the word has two meanings: siren and cold beauty) meant a dark-skinned beauty, not an air raid alarm... At that time, the Parisians did not turn off the lights because they were afraid of bombs!

A man goes to a coffee shop, and he asks the waiter for a cup of coffee without cream. After a while, the waiter ran and said: "Sorry, we have no cream today, only milk. May I give you a cup of coffee without milk?" (Zizek quoted this...

Black Soviet works. The clever arrangement of laughing points is really beyond the times, and the multiple flavors that can be expressed through the lens, such as the materialistic society and the well-dressed Europeans, have been adjusted quite well by Lubitsch. (Let's make this evaluation first, it's a bit too dark. I didn't succeed in trying to objectively round it...

Screenplay by Billy Wilder, directed by his master Liu Bieqian, also known as "Love the Ice Beauty". It's also a joke about the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The opening scene is the same as "The Romance of the Jade Girl" with three Soviets coming to a capitalist country. The most eye-catching slogan of the American media when the film was released was "Garbo laughed." This slogan has been circulated to this day. Garbo did laugh out loud in the movie, but it was a bit artificial and...

Lubitsch + Wilder? It’s still easy to make money from big companies. There’s a bit of political irony and humor in the front. The love line in the back is quite abrupt and inexplicable. Except for the arrogance and arrogance of American capitalism, I don’t feel anything else. Finally, I know what the famous Garbo looks like....
