      dissect

      Through psychological analysis, a great proposition has been parsed. Today, after listening to the analysis of the film by teacher Thomas Willems, the original messy feeling during the viewing process gradually became clear. I searched the Internet for a long time last night, but I didn't see any more detailed movie reviews. Now I'm recording his analysis.
       The clown in the film appears 24 times, with a hidden mystery. He is the symbol of inner desire. He opened and closed the door and...

      Review of "Blue Angel"

      I don't know much about Josef von Steinberg, but Marlene Dietrich has long heard of it. If you are familiar with the new German film movement, then Fassbender and his "Lily Marlene" are no stranger to you. The song "Lily Marlene" with anti-war complex and a touch of nostalgia, which was popular in World War II, was sung by Marlene Dietrich. The deep and sexy yet desolate voice makes people remember this cold and unruly woman forever.
          In "Blue Angel", Marlene Dietrich is undoubtedly the...

      Sternberg draws tigers but not dogs

      After watching the first half, people will think that they are watching a comedy movie with a bit of ironic comedy. Along with music and singing and dancing, occasionally inserting some cheap funny jokes, posing some lively seductive poses, everything is perfect. The professor and the "Blue Angel" have lived a good life since then...
      But in the later part, the old professor was expelled from the teaching position, forced to perform with the group, and even played a clown, and learned how...

      There are continuous surprises during the viewing process: I thought it was a custom comedy, but it turned out to be a big cup, as if it was a satire on the weakness of intellectuals? I thought Marlene Dietrich was a skinny beauty, but I didn't expect that she was quite baby fat when she was young; I thought Lola was the most brilliant character, but I didn't expect that the head of the team was the most flesh-and-blood character; The biggest surprise came from The scene of the "Blue Angel"...

      20190714@天山重看, 4.5 Marlene Dietrich's beauty is so innocent, so independent, and her smile has a sense of tragedy of fate. I used to think that she was burdened with the sin of causing her to fall into the abyss, and the reason was not sufficient. Looking at it again, I feel that if I simply find a charming femme fatale, it will degrade the story a lot, but borrowing the sentence "We are all lost people" in "Diary of a Lost Girl" that I read on the same day may also be used in this book. film; t

    Background creation

    This film is a classic masterpiece in the early days of sound films, aiming at the degeneration and corruption of the German upper class at that time. The film made the heroine Dietrich an instant hit and became an international superstar. Her coquettish and charming slut image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and she became the "founding father" of this type of screen role. Moreover, the love relationship described in...

    • Lola Lola: [singing] They call me Naughty Lola, I'm known far and wide. I have a pianola that is my joy and pride. They call me Naughty Lola, the men all go for me. But I don't let any man lay a paw on my keys.

    • [to stuffy Professor Immanuel Rath, who is dressed in a clown suit]

      Lola Lola: Your boys should see you now.

    • [singing]

      Lola Lola: Falling in love again, never wanted to. What's a girl to do? I can't help it. What choice do I have? That's the way I'm made. Love is all I know, I can't help it. Men swarm around me like moths 'round a flame. And if their wings are singed, surely I can't be blamed.
