’s a strange thing to remember the pretty girls "Kate and Leopold" (Kate and Leopold) , we always think the past is beautiful. When talking about the naming of the novel "Looks Beautiful", Wang Shuo said, "The title of the book is a memory of mine... We lived in No. 29 at that time. It was the kind of golden yellow. At dusk, the playground was full of willows. Being blown away by the wind, I think it’s a pretty good-looking picture. In fact, when I was young, the wind and rain in the society could not hit the children.... "We often live in regrets, always feel that we are young. Ignorance, but I don't know that only pure thoughts in life can have pure happiness. Perhaps, turning it around and living from old to young, we will feel more pain.
What is the nobility of 1876 to us? The mellow wine more than a hundred years ago? Is it the spirit of more than a hundred years ago? Or is it a romantic love more than a hundred years ago? The beginning of the film is a classic Chinese Confucian education: "To break the shackles of death, one must establish immortal achievements and creation." Leopard said a few important lines: "If you lack cooking skills, life will have no interest at all. ", he is very disgusted with the crude food of modern people, because he does not pay attention to food, for him a lot of fun in life; "Never should do things against conscience", he is difficult to swallow for Kitty's sales promotion. "If I love you, I will write to express my heart." Leopard not only did it himself, but also guided Kitty’s younger brother Charlie to pursue his girlfriend with a sincere heart. , Not like a clown. In Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, the nobles are sinful; in the Titanic, the nobles are great. The nobility here is still remarkable. Of course, for Duke Corbani, Leopold, who was able to invent elevators and counterweight pulleys, his greatest feature, we guessed it should be truth-seeking. Leopold has received excellent riding and fighting training, which are classic women's sense of security needs. The sincere, knowledgeable, and brave Prince Charming finally won his heart. Movies, like literature, are always about love, about love, and always about choices and what you really want. "The other party loves you, but you hesitate", so in the end Kitty jumped into the crack of time and went to Leop's 1876. However, take a look at a passage in Schopenhauer's "Additional and Complementary Metaphysics of Sexuality": "Women are completely attracted by the personality traits of men—characters are inherited by their fathers. The element that captures women’s favor is probably : Firm will, determination, courage, as well as kindness, integrity and other qualities. On the contrary, wisdom does not exert any direct or instinctive power on women, because these are not inherited by fathers. Men lack understanding, women do not. I don’t care, but think that superior mental power and genius is a kind of abnormality, which will bring unfortunate results. Therefore, ugly, stupid, and rough men often defeat intelligent, cultivated and lovely same-sex and win their hearts." Maybe, This passage itself is somewhat contradictory (the translator’s question should also be taken into account). Perhaps Schopenhauer used these words on the basis of the people he knew about Socrates, or his own personal experience. After all, the basis of philosophy is always relatively empty. In the movie, although Kitty chose Leop, Charlie won the date of her girlfriend in the same way as Leop. Leop’s letter even touched Kitty’s secretary, and first made her own proposal, drafted a reply, and persuaded Ji Di promised Lee's appointment. When Kitty was arguing with Leop about the right and wrong of the advertisement, Kitty said that the other party was born with a golden key, and that she wants to survive, so she can't care about the quality of the butter. "Sincere" is indeed a bit "hypocritical" in the modern era where survival is perilous.
This is a science fiction but the least sci-fi movie. It still displays the dream of transcending time and space, but it is not the main body of the work. Scientist Shi Chaohuo discovered the crack in time. He ran to 1876 and took Leopard back. But on the same day, because he took away the man who invented the elevator, all the elevators failed. He was severely injured and sent in. After going to the hospital, Li rushed home because he was not at ease, publicizing his crazy discovery, but the hospital thought he broke his brain. Finally, he finally said a beautiful analogy: "I found the crack in time. This is really crazy. It's like a dog seeing a rainbow. Dogs are color-blind and cannot see the rainbow. People feel that time is passing, but they can't see time. . It’s like sitting on a supersonic train and seeing the scenery disappear quickly. If the train stops, go and take a look at the scenery.” The nurse red eyes and told Shi Chaohuo that she believed him, so Shi was able to escape the lunatic asylum. This passage makes us feel once again that the scientific spirit of the United States originates from "no impossibility." It also makes us people from liberal arts classes feel the importance of language. 2005/2/13-14
