's hard to believe that "Philadelphia Story" is a movie from 25 years ago. Until today, AIDS is no longer an "incurable disease", and the suppression, discrimination, stigma and ban on LGBT people and minorities are still spreading in the land under their feet. It turns out that we are not even qualified to compare with the fairness, legality and tolerance of the US imperialists 25 years ago.
In addition to the subject matter itself, the film also reflects a lot of human beauty. The male protagonist's tenacious struggle on the road of fairness, the warmth and infinite support of the family, the dignified farewell before his death, and so on.
Even though the tone of the film is heavy and tense, I found several cute points. Including the great impact of the male protagonist listening to the opera (good taste) on the lawyer's aesthetics (and willpower) (going home and chatting with his wife next door); as well as the lawyer's black baby and the dolls we are familiar with. The shades are very different.
finally.
We once made a movie like Farewell My Concubine, although it ended tragically; but after many years, we can't even make such a tragedy.
