Many years later, in the face of the casting problem of the hero of "Victorius", Hitchcock will hesitate several times on the brink of rejection before finally reluctantly continuing to cooperate with James Stewart. In a word, he despised him for being old.

When I wrote a film review of "Victorius", I checked the information up to this point, so I stopped to join Xi Pang, and recalled how this man was once so prosperous.

Before becoming the "hanging man" in the history of the film, James Stewart, who was still a fledgling man, stood in the grocery store on the corner of Budapest, and inspected the shop display routinely. His casual thoughts were half of how to talk to the boss. When mentioning a promotion and salary increase, half of it was just received from the unknown girl's letter.

At this time the bell rang at the door, and he got up to face the girl who broke in.

There are many street corners in the world, and there are many grocery stores on the corners, but she just walked into his one. They didn't even know about all the love and noise in the future.

"In ancient times, we didn't text messages, chat online, cross the oceans, or get stuck on the road. If I want you, I will walk five miles across two mountains to hold your hand."

The waiting based on distance, the solitude based on waiting, the loneliness of thinking about you every day and not seeing you, it is only in the gaps of these wild thoughts that the fragrance can be brewed.

So the later "Electronic Love Letter" was ridiculed as a clumsy parody of Dong Shi's example, and the crime was not with Nora Efron or Tom Hanks. It’s just that when movie fans walked out of the theater in 1998 and shook their heads to miss Liu Bieqian, I was afraid that it would not be long before there would be a variety of instant messaging IMs, and all the IMs that could be turned back and forth would be crushed by time. inside.

That’s why Gene Kelly was caught in the rain, and even if he got confused, he could enjoy singing and dancing in the end. Later, Ryan Gosling and his favorite people walked on the hillside of magical moments, and they were so beautiful. , But only dared to climb the telephone pole and turn around in shame.

Later, when young people talked about love, it was a pity that they didn't have to write letters or dance.
