Fairy tale feeling

Many of the passages in the film not only still seem very interesting now, but they have also become passages that many later generations of directors compete to imitate. Te's resolute unwillingness to undress in front of the camera made Capra come up with this idea, which was later imitated in our country's "Cross Street". The story of the "Wall of Jericho" comes from the "Bible". It was originally related to the collapse of the wall when Joshua entered Canaan to blow the horns. In the film, the "Wall of Jericho" hung with sheets became A barrier for two people to love each other. At the end of the film, the sheets fell and the "Wall of Jericho" collapsed. Even if we didn't see the protagonist embracing the scene, we can still imagine the beautiful scene of finally getting married. In addition, the relationship between the rich girl’s falling in love with the civilian guy and the later "Roman Holiday" is exactly the same; the scene of the bride fleeing at the wedding, we can also see the impact of this film in films such as "The Graduate" and "Running Bride". Follow suit. In addition to these classic plots that have been repeatedly misappropriated, there are also many classic dialogues that people talk about. For example, Peter didn’t want to sit in the newspaper on the bus, so he argued to the conductor, “I don’t like sitting in the newspaper. I once sat, and all the headlines were printed on my white pants. This is Really, no one bought the newspaper that day. They followed me and read the news from my pants." In the motel, Alan reluctantly shared a room with Peter, so Peter acted Undressing her face: "I have my own set of procedures. If you notice, I will first take off my jacket, tie, and shirt. Next, most people may have to take off their pants. I am different. I took off my shoes first, my left foot, then my right foot, then my pants..." Seeing Peter was about to take off his pants, Allen hurried to his bed. It is said that Clark. In order to make shooting easier, Gable did not habitually wear undershirts under his shirts. As a result, the scene when he took off his shirts actually reduced the sales of men's undershirts by 40%. The scene where Peter teaches Allen to block a car on the side of the road is even more classic. Peter claims that he "can write a book about hitchhiking". When he blocks a car, he has "action number one", "action number two", "action number three" and so on, but facing the speeding car, None of his actions were effective. The helpless Allen said, "Don't forget to wake me up when you try the 100th plan." After Peter tried his best and failed, Allen stood on the side of the road, lifted his skirt and exposed his thighs. , As a result, a car stopped in front of them immediately, and Peter was dumbfounded. The conversation after they got in the car was even more funny. Allen said, "Aren't you going to praise me? I confirmed that the thigh is better than the thumb." Peter said, "If you take off your clothes, you can still intercept 40 cars!" Allen replied, "Oh. , I’ll remember your suggestion next time we need 40 cars.” In addition, the chorus on the car and Peter teaching Allen to chew carrots are also impressive. That year, this film that Capra was not optimistic about swept the 5 most important Oscar awards, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Corbett didn't even show up when he won the best actress. The success of "A Night in the Air" has also made the Columbia company jump from a second-rate production company to a first-class production company. At that time, almost all men regarded Clark Gable's Peter as an idol. His wide coat, V-neck shirt and wide-brimmed hat became the most popular dresses at the time.
