      How to save a bad character

      These pictures are footage from the 1966 "Spiritual Night". Professor Henry, the useless husband played by Richard Burton, watched Martha drive away in anger after a quarrel with his wife Martha played by Elizabeth Taylor. , leaving him alone in the wilderness, in the thick darkness.

      The superstar charm of the Burtons' appearance

      A feature of almost all of Burton's film covers is that he can always find his ugly pictures in the film to make covers and posters. So far, only two films have been found on the cover that can show beautiful pictures, one is "Spiritual Spring Night" in 1966, and the other is "Broken Heart Flower" in 1952. It's really not easy.

      Burton's Charisma and Artistic Attitude

      Although Burton is "very fragile and looks surprisingly sensitive" (reporter's words), his mind is particularly delicate, and his mind is very serious, but his disgust is basically limited to himself, and he has never been interested in others or in art. There will be feelings of jealousy. Even if this person is a competitor in his career, or even defeats him in the battle for the Oscar winner, his reaction is only self-deprecating, and there will never be any jealousy or anger.

      Tiny insects struggling in fate's spider web

      There are a lot of poor stars in Hollywood, but there are not many people like Burton who are always immersed in inferiority complex and childhood shadows, and even gradually develop psychological problems.

      As the son of a miner, it was not easy for him to become an undergraduate student at Oxford University. He even got a scholarship, but eventually dropped out of school because he joined the army in World War II. Oxford said he could go back to his studies and finish his studies...

      tear yourself apart and show it to others

      I've always wondered why a man would be "the greatest male symbol in the world", "he looks so strong, like he has four testicles", "women always surrender unconditionally to Richard Burton, even I don’t dare to say an angry word” at the same time, there will also be “this person contains a desire to be tortured and abused”, “he looks very fragile, and is surprisingly sensitive”, which is too contradictory. .

      The marriage and gender war film, based on a stage play, is much better than "Gone Lover". Elizabeth Taylor is so fat and acting like that, I didn't even recognize it. This piece suddenly let me get rid of her vase impression, this piece made her a golden man,...

      Originally, I wanted to appreciate the beauty of the jade girl, but I didn't expect to be old. A play that is completely supported by dialogue, the stage play is too strong, the two people torture each other, love and hate, and it is tiring to watch. A life full of illusions is too fragile to escape reality after...

    Evaluation action

    In "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", director Mike Nichols followed the original work and made full use of the absurd expression. The extremely emotional quarrel rendered by a large number of close-ups, the sudden addition of the father's voice during the memory of the boxing match with the father, the structure of the sound and picture counterpoint, and the increasing moving and elevation lenses in the second half of the film clearly...

    Movie quotes

    • George: Martha, will you show her where we keep the, uh, euphemism?

    • George: Vanish!

    • Martha: I disgust me. You know, there's only been one man in my whole life who's ever made me happy. Do you know that?

      [pause]

      Martha: George, my husband... George, who is out somewhere there in the dark, who is good to me - whom I revile, who can keep learning the games we play as quickly as I can change them. Who can make me happy and I do not wish to be happy. Yes, I do wish to be happy. George and Martha: Sad, sad, sad. Whom I will not forgive for having come to rest; for having seen me and having said: yes, this will do.
