The pure meaning of childhood in movies

So many well-known standard songs were originally written for such an early movie.

The wonderful fast pace of the musical part is in great contrast to the ridiculous procrastination of the drama part of the content. It makes people feel that this is really in the childhood of the art of musicals and even movies. The wisdom of the screenwriters and the satisfaction threshold of the audience are still in such a relatively pure and simple stage, which reminds people of the pre-reform and...

Berlin's first and most beautiful original soundtrack was for "Top Hat," a film that also brought him and Astaire together in one of the most satisfying examples of musical score collaborations. The lively style of the film's plot is consistent with the mild irony produced by its high-society language, etiquette, and costumes, and is set for five deftly constructed songs - "No Care," "A Beautiful Day," "Top Hat," " Face to Face" and "Pickerino" - provided the perfect...

[Film Review] Top Hat (1935) 7.5/10

Likely the most popular Astaire-and-Rogers picture, story-wise, TOP HAT is a prototype of mistaken identity screwball comedy, much like their prior rendezvous in THE GAY DIVORCEE (1934), shot in various cavernous studio spaces with its with-it black-and-white Art-Deco set design (courtesy to Van Nest Polglase).

I'm in heaven.

The so-called ancestor of musicals is probably like this! Although the plot of "Top Hat" is simple and ordinary, the elegant foxtrot and Broad Way in it are simply classics.

The protagonist Fred Astaire has his own unique views on the shooting of dance. He has always believed that the camera must follow the dancers throughout, without editing, so that the dance itself can be represented in the most comprehensive and true manner. Therefore, watching the movie starring him, you will...

Our teacher who was shown in the musical class of Hollywood's golden age, which was recorded in history, complained that no matter where we went, it was a scene in a studio. It's true, but it's not a musical, is it...

After more than a year, I watched it again. Fred is worthy of the man who can dance the most in the golden age of Hollywood. Every time he cooperates with Ginger, he calls the golden...

Although musicals can't pick a plot, it's a bit of a flaw. The front looks better than the back, I feel that because of the development of the plot, the space for play is...

I was shocked when I saw the 1935 film. My first impression of this film is: Oh my God! The clothes here are so pretty! Get the best dress on the red carpet or the best street shot at the airport now. Looked and found, eh, isn't this lalaland? If Sister Stone and Commander Gao can have this level of dance steps, the feeling of singing and dancing will be a professional level. Although the inconsistency of the plot is a bit tough, it is a 1935...
