Roman Holiday--Favorite Childhood Classic Movies

Raleigh 2022-07-15 13:01:33

The best of William Wheeler, the best of Dalton Trumbo, the best of Gregory Peck, and the best of Audrey Hepburn are in this movie, and they all join forces in that black and white image that is about to disappear in 1953, leaving the last classic.

When talking about classic movies, "Roman Holiday" is often the first name that comes to mind. August 27, 2013, is the 60th anniversary of the release of "Roman Holiday" in the United States. This romantic comedy starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn has been a worldwide phenomenon for more than five decades.It has long since become a well-known screen classic.

This feeling is like first love, fresh and lovely in the bones, which is the reason why this movie is still deeply loved after 60 years. It is one of the most touching love stories in the impressions of countless audiences, and it has fascinated generations. Even without considering the fairy tale color that transcends class, it is a warm and comfortable story that can soothe people's hearts.

Note: The above is excerpted from Time Network.

I watched the translated film when I was very young. I remember that the first foreign film I watched was "Butterfly Dream," recommended by my mother. It was a black and white TV show with a black and white film. Black and white dubbed productions have a sense of dependence similar to drug addiction, and I have seen this "Roman Holiday" countless times, and my nose is sore many times. Today is the 60th anniversary of "Roman Holiday", and the images in the film are vivid in the past. But now that things have changed, and I feel a sadness welling up in my heart, here is the memory of William Wheeler, Dalton Trumbo, Gregory Peck, and Audrey Hepburn, who have been an integral part of my childhood happiness, and at the same time, thank my mother for opening a window of light and shadow for me. You are the projectionist of my life.
