Don't play silly white sweet path dependence!

I couldn't stand watching this film. I watched it once when it came out on Blu-ray. I saw Hepburn's noisy performances and exaggerated performances. Today, the 4k Blu-ray was released. It is said that the restoration is very good. I read the comments again, and said that Hepburn was not popular at first, but later it became more and more brilliant, and even the consciousness of life was improved, and the story stood up. Looking down again, it is true that 4k Blu-ray is extraordinary, and the sound quality and image quality are exemplary. However, the plot is still unwatchable. Please forgive me for bravely saying that I am disgusting.

The reason is not as others have said, Hepburn's bones are full of temperament, and he can't play as a flower girl, which is too inconsistent.

But one, the flower girl in Hepburn's performance is very disgusting, not objective, but subjectively trying to be ugly. Second, the transformation into a princess is not convincing enough, and Hepburn's elegance seems fake. Third, love came at an inopportune time. In the early years of Hollywood, the love of old men was popular. This was a common problem. At that time, there was nothing young and young on the screen.

To put it further, Hepburn, as a generation of beauty, I have seen four of her films, except for "Roman Holiday" which is a true classic, the other three have serious aesthetic deviations.

Earlier, Hollywood liked to tailor scripts for stars, and it developed into a path-dependent way to make money. It created a fixed model for many people. As a result, actors could not play more plays at all. Everything is right and wrong. Everything is wrong. Several of Hepburn's plays, in addition to "Roman Holiday" are silly and sweet, and "Love at Twilight" is also silly and sweet, I can still accept it. Next is "Breakfast at Tiffany's". When a courtesan also acts silly and sweet, there is a problem with the idea and lack of persuasion. The last is "My Fair Lady". If you still want to play silly and sweet, it's a completely wrong character design for pulling your hips. "Can't you give her a down-to-earth ending?"

Besides, I really like Hepburn, and I even watched the biopic "Audrey" some time ago. The "Roman Holiday" I watched when my wife and I were in love had a special meaning to me. And the second brush "My Fair Lady", the same discomfort also appeared on my wife, I couldn't watch it anymore.

    Professor Henry Higgins: And so I shall! If the Higgins oxygen burns up her little lungs, let her seek some stuffiness that suits her. She's an owl sickened by a few days of my sunshine. Very well, let her go, I can do without her. I can do without anyone. I have my own soul! My own spark of divine fire!
