      Cultural Elegy of Real Time

      Before discussing the form and elements of this film, let’s clarify a few points of thinking about this film (connotation):

      1. Girls who have an open sexual concept and are willing to enter the car with boys but contradictly insist The Christian-style chastity morality shows the broken state of the original ethics. Whether it is supporting modernization or sticking to traditional morality, such a deformed social environment is worth considering by both parties.

      2. The...

      AFI100 The penultimate movie I haven't seen. Released in 1971, it is not too old, but it is a black and white film. Hey, what a pity the beauty in the film.

      Cybill Shepherd - just like old women

      This movie is so old, I'm fortunate to have only seen the clip!
      However, I am mainly interested in Cybill Shepherd when I was younger!
      In TLW, I found that she is no longer beautiful, but I didn't expect her to be so bright and moving in this movie!
      Maybe I shouldn't make such a fuss, the natural law that a woman's beauty is always short-lived is well known. CATHERINE DENEUVE is the best proof of beauty's age. Of course, my goddess is very graceful...
      Besides, I am a serious...

      When the youth graduate

      Every time I talk about youth at an age that is no longer youthful, it makes people feel very pretentious. But when can it be said? People who are youth have no time to sigh, their time just flies away.

      "The Last Movie", filmed in 1971, is about American Western movies in the early 1950s. In fact, there are no geographical boundaries. Young people have different lives when they are young. They are not comfortable with playing alone, and prefer to go to the pool room or the game room...

      Homesickness

      Old time!

      1. The scene where Sam takes Sonny and the fool to go fishing is a very important scene. Sam mentioned his youth and the girl who bet him on horseback crossing the river. The lion king Sam spent his entire life indulging in those beautiful days, muttering to himself: "Old time, old time". When he was young, Sam was...

    Behind the scenes

    Both John Ritter and Chris Mishim considered the role of Sony.
    All movie music (except for the end credits and the live band performance on Christmas) is background music played on the radio, jukeboxes, or a portable tape recorder at a swimming party.
    Except for one lens, all are eye-level....

    Piercing lens

    Geographical error: The location specified in the movie is the small town of Analin, but the main intersection signs on the highway are obviously highways 25 and 79 in Texas, which is the same as the author’s hometown and the actual shooting scene. The road signs in Torucheng are different.
    Coherence: Just before Jesse and Lester go to the party, she and Duny are dressing up in the car. As she stretched her legs from the car seat, she...

    Evaluation action

    "The Last Picture Show" is one of the most important films in the 1970s in the United States. The film tells the desolate scene of Nashville, Texas in the 1950s, depicting a dying landscape that belongs to the barren land of the west. The black-and-white photography of the film deeply conveys the meaning of that era, and the film can be regarded as a relatively outstanding representative work of director Peter Bogdanovich   .
