Even if you watch a lot of romantic comedies from the golden age of Hollywood, it will not prevent you from feeling how different and moving the movie "Golden Jade League" is. Its original intention was not a romantic movie in the traditional sense. The 37-year-old heroine Deborah Kerr has long passed the young and moving age, and her voice is so unfeminine, and her temperament is so. actual. 53-year-old Gary Grant also seems to have taken off the chicness of his Hollywood's first handsome boy. In this movie, we feel more helpless and lonely. This is a real movie, from the beginning to the end the emotional development of the two people is abandoning romanticization. Deborah Kerr told Gary Grant from the very beginning that he was famous and that Grant's voyage was also to welcome his marriage. From the beginning, the two had no desire to love each other. Their getting along is more to dispel each other's loneliness, and to guard against the spread of scandals everywhere. But the deep affection arises from here. The few short hours at grandma's house pushed this kind of warmth to each other's hearts. The scene of grandma playing the piano was so warm, and everyone was enveloped in a kind of warmth and contagion. Simple and straightforward, in just a few days, they knew each other, got acquainted with each other, and suddenly felt that they could no longer do without each other, even though they resisted intentionally. Facing the end of the voyage, they made the most famous agreement in film history. This was even after the heroine struggled overnight. She is not the woman who falls in love at first sight in a crazy romantic movie. They all have to think about their future life. Grant that night. The loneliness is so touching and sad, because he knows that he can't afford each other's lives.
The next thing is that the two of them are fighting to give up their superior life for each other's agreement. Just like the movie's title An Affair to Remember, the motivation they rely on is the good time for those few days. Memory and nostalgia. Recall the scene of Deborah Kerr praying in her grandma’s house. It was a moving moment like apocalypse. It instantly opened the heart of Playboy Grant. We later saw through that painting that it was so deeply engraved on Grant. The depths of his memory. What connects them is not so much romantic love as it is a deep affection. This is a movie that really brings comfort to people. Few movies can bring me such a touch.
