Marty (1955) This
film won the 28th Oscar for Best Picture, and the Golden Duck at the 8th Cannes Film Festival in 1955.
The film tells the story of a bachelor before and after he meets the person he wants. The protagonist is an older young man, his brothers and sisters are already married, but he never meets a girl. One day, the hero's cousin and his wife came to their house, planning to let the hero's aunt move in. Because for the cousin’s family, they want to live a two-person life, and the cousin’s mother has become a burden. Both the mother and the actor agreed. In the evening, on the advice of his mother, the actor went to the ballroom to find a girl with his friend who was also a bachelor. During the prom, the actor stood for a long time and no one paid any attention to him. But when a man meets a new girl, he plans to get rid of the girl he first brought, and then pays to hire the hero to take her home. Although the actor refused, but when he saw the girl crying sadly, the actor became the girl's crying shoulder. Afterwards, the two developed very quickly. After a long chat, the actor took the girl home. After the mother met the girl, the actor sent her home and met to watch a movie together the next day. But the next day, the mother was afraid that her life would become like her sister, so she told the actor that she didn't like the girl. In the evening, the actor's friends are afraid of losing, and this friend who can play together doesn't like this girl. The leading actor had to continue to mix with these bachelors. Finally, the actor called the girl. Because whether everyone likes it or not, the actor just likes this girl and wants to be with her.
This movie has no theme, it just tells the story of a man looking for an object. If you really want to find a theme, it can be understood that love is invincible. Even if the people around you object, the instinct of love will urge both parties to come together. It can be said that "the mountains have no edges, the heaven and the earth are in harmony, the talent and the sovereign"! The male protagonist has this state of mind.
The above is the content of the movie performance, very single. After watching the film, I am really a little puzzled: such a simple and ordinary film has won many awards. It is not only the best film at the 28th Academy Awards, but also the Golden Duck Award at the 8th Cannes Film Festival in 1955. Film! What magic is it, I really can't see it! Is such a simple and straightforward story popular in that era? Or is it that older young people have become a problem that European and American society urgently needs to solve? Can't figure it out!
Movie shooting is even more common. Only one scene in the film is impressive, that is, the dialogue between the protagonist and his friends in the bar after the beginning of the movie. "What do you want to do tonight?" After asking these questions, it can be seen how boring the two are. This also allows us to understand the lives of Europeans and Americans. There is always something to do after dinner. This is probably called "socializing".
The actors in this film performed fairly well. The actor Ernest Borgnine looked familiar, he must have seen it in other movies before, but he can't remember it anymore. He played a stupid man in the film to be true, but this is just a due diligence performance. The heroine Betsy Blair is a natural performer. Seeing her sluggish look, she can't find a boyfriend, and she really doesn't blame others-looks and temperament are too ordinary. The others are all tricks, not much to say.
in conclusion. This is a movie that is so simple that it can't be simpler, and I was disappointed after watching it. It turns out that "gentlemen are so good", just ask for it like this! I really don't understand that a movie with such a plot won various awards.
