Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967)
This is the list of AFI100 in 1998 Single's penultimate movie. When I wanted to watch it, I found that it was not on the hard drive. After searching on the Internet, I found that TLF had never suppressed the movie. In desperation, I had to do it myself, using BT, eMule, and Netdisk in a three-pronged approach, but there was no resources, or no seeds, or no one uploaded. I found an AVI format in Xunlei Offline. video! After downloading it, use the online subtitles to watch and tune it to the end. This movie is so hard to watch! It seems that sometimes Thunderbolt is still useful. However, this version is a TV recording version, and the picture quality is quite poor. Why don’t good movies always appear on Blu-ray?
The film tells the troubles of parents caused by a controversial topic-the marriage between whites and blacks. A couple in love intends to get married, and the man comes to the woman's home to ask for the consent of the woman's parents. Because the man is about to leave the United States, the woman asks her parents to speak before the man leaves. The biggest difference between this couple and other couples is their skin color. Women are white and men are black. When the woman's parents saw the man, they were shocked and at a loss. But the woman's parents are very well-educated people, and they chatted with men separately. At this time, the man expressed his thoughts: if they disagree, he will not marry a woman. The woman's mother gradually accepted the man, while the father was hesitating. At this time, a priest friend of the woman's parents came to visit and agreed with the children's marriage, and decided to join in before dinner. Later, the subordinates of the woman's mother came to hunt for strange things, and the angry mother drove her away and fired her. At this time, the man's parents are coming to visit his son, and the woman warmly invites them to dinner at her own house. So before dinner, the parents, priest, the couple, and the black maid were all gathered in the woman's house. Both fathers disagreed with this marriage, and both mothers agreed. The woman’s father did not waver under the priest’s persuasion, but he learned from the conversation with the man’s mother that love is not divided into black and white, and has nothing to do with skin color. At the same time, the man also showed his attitude with his father. In the end, both fathers changed their minds and agreed to the marriage. The movie ended in dinner.
This film is a light-hearted comedy that uses dramatic contradictions and conflicts to create funny and funny scenes. However, under these jokes, the movie reflects a profound social problem-interracial marriages, and it brings out all aspects of racial discrimination, which arouses the audience's thinking. In a nutshell, this film uses a comedic approach to reflect the distress caused by interracial marriages in the real society, and through this story, the different views and opinions of people in society on these matters are shown, which is thought-provoking.
There are many laughs in the film, mostly because of the embarrassment, surprise and curiosity caused by the appearance of black people. For example, the expression of the maid when the man first arrived at the woman's house, and the look of the woman's parents when they saw the man, these are all funny and playful. Of course, I think it’s more or less funny because I have some gloating psychology and a mentality of watching the excitement. However, the plot of the movie deliberately makes the story go deeper and the contradictions become more concentrated. When the male parents come to the woman’s parents’ house, this is the climax of the whole film, and it is also the most lively moment of the film, and it is full of joy. In the scene of the movie, using the words of the woman's father in the film, "it's messed up"!
Many topics that were still taboo at the time were discussed in the film, such as skin color, interracial marriage, racial discrimination, and so on. These topics are no longer a problem nowadays, but when they appear in a movie released in 1967, one can't help but sigh the avant-garde of the film and the forward consciousness of the directors. In the 1960s, when there was still racial discrimination in the United States, it was so courageous for the directors to make this film! Today when the presidents of the United States are all blacks, watching this film now seems outdated, but it records a period of history and records a process, and it is of commemorative significance.
In addition, through the plot of the movie, we can understand that love does not distinguish between skin color, which is what people were fighting for in that era. But now, what people have to fight for becomes: love regardless of gender! Today's homosexual intermarriage is the same as the interracial intermarriage in this film. There is no essential difference in the social sense. Both are to break the secular prejudice and fight for the right to love. About more than ten years later, people treat same-sex intermarriage just like we finished watching the interracial intermarriage in this film-disapproving. In order to fight for the right to love, people always have to fight for themselves, but different times have different goals.
The actors in this film are all familiar faces. His father, Spencer Tracy, has seen "The Nuremberg Trial" starring him, and he still looks impassioned and plausible. Katharine Hepburn played a supporting role this time, a typical good wife and mother. The actor, Sidney Poitier, is very handsome and has excellent acting skills. He deserves to be the first black Oscar actor. The heroine Katharine Houghton looks pure and pleasant, very likable, and is a typical blonde beauty. The choreographer chose her to match black people to completely subvert the audience's traditional concept. It's a pity that Katharine Houghton has very little information and can't even find a big picture.
In general, a good-looking, interesting and thought-provoking comedy, the heroine is still a pleasant beauty, not to be missed.
