new book

I have always believed that no matter how perfect a movie is, it is inferior to the delicacy and realism depicted by reading a novel, and novels can always bring me more imagination and shock. As a die-hard fan of "Butterfly Dream", after watching the movie several times, I accidentally discovered that the novel "Butterfly Dream" has a new book. I bought this novel at first because the cover pokes me too much, it's beautiful! The translation quality of the text is also good, which vividly reflects the cold and desperate atmosphere of "Butterfly Dream". After watching the movie and then reading the novel, every time I can find a lot of missing details. Maybe a good story is like this. Every time I reread it, it seems familiar, but every time I can have new feelings and surprises. Recommended to everyone who loves the movie "Butterfly Dream"~

    I regret that I actually fell asleep holding a warm water bag halfway through. And why did Hei Hei in the front row applaud and cheer. And why does the eldest sister on the right keep shaking the chair. And why do the men and women in the front right keep kissing? And why did this movie have to be made for so long? I didn't know until now that Rebecca is a butterfly dream. And this movie is really Hitchcock.

    Hitchcock's angular sculpting thinking is that since you are already a male idol, "the audience may even faint at the thought of Clark Gable being killed", this strong empathy has been from the moment of debut. If it is established, then in the next plot, we will focus on showing the handsome, charming and affectionate or the gentle, courteous, respectful and frugal who walk in the same direction. This story will go to kitsch and boring. It must not be so! He must also have all kinds of negative elements that can inhibit the growth of good feelings, such as mysterious identity, mental illness, and even sinister inner heart, but the process of showing should be moderately vague and avoid being realistic, so as not to destroy the audience's empathy and anxiety towards him. , and in favor of the final surprise reversal—in either direction for good or evil. ...Also slightly embarrassing is that although "Butterfly Dream" received eleven nominations and won best picture and cinematography among them, and Oliver Fontaine Anderson was also nominated for his respective roles, it has been a supporting role since 1936. Since the award was first established, it is the only film that has won the best film but has all failed in the acting director and screenwriting awards.

Rebecca quotes

  • Mrs. de Winter: [opening voice-over] Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter, for the way was barred to me. Then, like all dreamers, I was possessed of a sudden with supernatural powers and passed like a spirit through the barrier before me. The drive wound away in front of me, twisting and turning as it had always done. But as I advanced, I was aware that a change had come upon it. Nature had come into her own again, and little by little had encroached upon the drive with long, tenacious fingers. On and on wound the poor thread that had once been our drive, and finally there was Manderley. Manderley - secretive and silent. Time could not mar the perfect symmetry of those walls. Moonlight can play odd tricks upon the fancy, and suddenly it seemed to me that light came from the windows. And then a cloud came upon the moon and hovered an instant like a dark hand before a face. The illusion went with it. I looked upon a desolate shell with no whisper of the past about its staring walls. We can never go back to Manderley again. That much is certain. But sometimes, in my dreams I do go back to the strange days of my life, which began for me in the South of France.
