    When the hell are we gonna get some dinner?

    The story told in this film may seem to be just a bloody bridge today: black and white matching + Lolita (the heroine is 23 years old, the male protagonist is 36 years old) + flash marriage; but in the 1960s Against the background, the forward consciousness of the film is undoubtedly worthy of...

    Civil rights is one thing, marriage is another-guess who will have dinner

    Or about racism in America, a love story between blacks and whites. Three legendary movie stars play against each other. But what moved me the most was K Hepburn and Tracy. Their 30-year love history has long been a legend in Hollywood. The ice cream scene, what K Hepburn said to Tracy, and the ending of Tracy Confession is completely a true portrayal of their legend.

    Although this is to express that love can transcend skin color, heal the scars of racial inequality in American history, and promote a kind of "avant-garde" free thought, the performance of the heroine can only be ignored now. In short, it's pretty good for primary source :)

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner quotes

  • John: After all, a lot of people are going to think we are a shocking pair.

  • John: You listen to me. You say you don't want to tell me how to live my life. So what do you think you've been doing? You tell me what rights I've got or haven't got, and what I owe to you for what you've done for me. Let me tell you something. I owe you nothing! If you carried that bag a million miles, you did what you're supposed to do! Because you brought me into this world. And from that day you owed me everything you could ever do for me like I will owe my son if I ever have another. But you don't own me! You can't tell me when or where I'm out of line, or try to get me to live my life according to your rules. You don't even know what I am, Dad, you don't know who I am. You don't know how I feel, what I think. And if I tried to explain it the rest of your life you will never understand. You are 30 years older than I am. You and your whole lousy generation believes the way it was for you is the way it's got to be. And not until your whole generation has lain down and died will the dead weight of you be off our backs! You understand, you've got to get off my back! Dad... Dad, you're my father. I'm your son. I love you. I always have and I always will. But you think of yourself as a colored man. I think of myself as a man. Now, I've got a decision to make, hm? And I've got to make it alone, and I gotta make it in a hurry. So would you go out there and see after my mother?
