When I was young, watching "Philadelphia Story" was always halfway through.
Attention always goes off the track. Instinctively felt beautiful and interesting, and then 2 hours passed, and I ran away in the middle. By coincidence, I never missed the scene where James Stewart hugged Katharine Hepburn by the pool. I was particularly impressed because the posture was so beautiful. That kind of cuddling posture makes people feel that the girl is as light as a piece of porcelain, while the boy is as strong as a street lamp. Now review the old film and figure out the context of the story. I fully understand why I couldn't stick to it when I was a kid. When children watch movies, they need an understandable thread. The main line couldn't be grasped for a while, and the doubts in my heart overflowed. In fact, even if I read "Philadelphia Story" now, there are still many doubts in my heart. In that era, what was the point of discussing such a story? What is the director's view of marriage and morality? How do the actors understand the characters during the performance-in fact, this question is fairly simple for a few male actors, and the main problem lies with the actresses.
I always appreciate the depressiveness from the superficial elegance, romance, and unrestrainedness. The object of this repression is a woman. Every woman dressed up in the movie is the same. Every lady is armed from head to toe: The costumes are exquisite, the taste is elegant, and the mentality is free and easy. There are also sharp teeth and sharp minds. Decent, it is decent, but everyone seems to live a face, and when they open the inside, they are patches. The director praised this patch. This patch is indispensable, it allows you to step off the altar and turn from a goddess to a woman. There is also such a story in the East. The Seven Weaver Girl Fairy Snails took off her gauze and Yuyi snail shell to wash her hands and make soup. Don't go into details. After all, this is a movie more than seventy years ago. In the past seventy years, there have been countless changes in the world, and countless changes in people's thinking. But it hasn't changed much. In 1940, Katharine Hepburn had to forgive her alcoholic husband and cheating father. Otherwise, she was not close to humans and was accused of being incapable of understanding human weaknesses. The elegant lady's mother accepted the cheating father and said: "The romantic affairs of men outside have nothing to do with their wives." The adult father gave a kiss and praised her for her thoughtfulness and generosity. And now there are Xu Zheng's "Hong Kong 囧" and happy twists "Charlotte Troubles" in the cinema. These downy and unsatisfactory men who want to find their youth by pouring their sorrows through wine, each one must be followed by a silly woman who has given up countless numbers. Ha ha. In this way, it is not as good as 1940. Zhao Wei and Ma Li were both dressed up as vulgar yellow-faced women in the 21st century. The only reason to love them is to cherish themselves. And in 1940, the men crawled at the feet of the second marriage Katharine Hepburn, sincerely admiring her remoteness and elegance. So, to watch "Philadelphia Story", just look at the beauty and the charms. It's the best thing that a person can extract, it's dazzling and amazing. Gary Grant, James Stewart, and Katherine Hepburn are all shocking and imposing, but the others, forget it! Hephburn is like a bright moon out of the Tianshan Mountains inside, and the plain socks are not sticky to dust. The figure is ethereal, the clouds are fluffy, and the corners of the eyes are not tears, but diamonds. The way he speaks is so charming. Tell your fiance that you are his old dog. The fiance smiled and said give me your paw and quickly stretched out his little hand, it was so cute that it exploded. Gary Grant is as warm as his casual jacket. The thick, linen, dark chocolate smile is dotted with dimples. Where is such a charming drunkard? And James Stewart, I'm so happy that he won the Oscar actor with this film. The tall, slender, unfit suit was worn with an oversize and weak feel, and a side hat was added, which was gentle and delicate. He is the purest existence in it, with the innocence and cruelty of a little boy, showing the true appearance of love. It is not the grateful support in "Pride and Prejudice", nor the high-mindedness and indoctrination of "Emma". It's a warm compliment and a single-hearted yearning, a glass shoe pumpkin car enchanted by dopamine and an endless dance rotation at midnight. Even though there were Lizzy and the affectionate Gary Grant who were silently accompanied by him, he did not hesitate to propose to Hepburn. His rejection is also logical. Love has always been that good things don’t hold fast and die after addiction. Breaking up is now a pleasure. So although love is frustrated, Oscar is proud. I will give you the prize, the love itself that has never been talked about in this love comedy.
