Before watching the movie, I found relevant information online. It feels very strange why such an ordinary romance film will win the 28th Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay. After watching the movie, I did feel that the director Delbert Manna's plain and humorous narrative style and detailed description of American civilian life are unique. The old otaku Marty is a 34-year-old single young man. He works in a butcher's shop, steady and approachable. But in the 1950s, the American emperor, the older unmarried youth, were also unpopular targets. People around him always question why he is not married, which makes him feel more pressured. Aji, an old otaku who likes to play bowling, is Marty's best friend. The two discussed how to spend a less boring weekend. Aggie told Marty that he had an admirer, which surprised Marty, because he felt that he was fat and ugly, and not decent enough. I have long been used to a life without a woman. But his heart also yearns for love, and he often feels anxious and distressed for the love that has never come. In this regard, Aji and him are sick and pity each other, this old otaku group is obviously going to be driven crazy by the old mother in the family. Cousin Tom came uninvited and brought his powerful wife Virginia to Marty's mother, telling how unreasonable the old lady and sister are. No matter in any era, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a topic worthy of in-depth exploration. Through this movie, we suddenly discovered that the American emperor in the 1950s had also experienced Mabao rampage and various frictions between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The cousin Tom and his wife took great pains to live apart from their parents. Marty's mother promised Tom to persuade her old sister, and did not forget to ask Tom, who was a good friend among relatives, if there was any suitable girl. Tom suggested that Marty go to the Stardust Bar and try her luck. At the same time, after listening to Aggie's suggestion, Marty took the initiative to contact the so-called admirer Mary Fanny. He called the girl, but he seemed overly shy and nervous. He wanted to ask the girl to watch a movie, but in the end it was obviously rejected. This is not the first time this has happened. In this section of the film, the actors acted very vividly, showing all the changes that the old otaku had experienced after the emotional ups and downs. At dinner, his mother was very dissatisfied with the state of the otaku Marty, urging him to solve the single problem as soon as possible, and suggested that he go to the Stardust Bar to try his luck at night. Because Marty had just suffered a setback and wanted to be alone, contradictions broke out. But Marty is still a filial son. He followed his mother's advice and took his good brother Aji to try his luck. In the Stardust Bar, the old otaku duo Marty and Aggie, dressed in suits and dressed up like dogs, are preparing for a possible affair. They are all eager for something to happen tonight. Aggie soon succeeded. We Poor Marty still can only be a bystander. At this moment, the elder woman, Clear, and her playboy-like blind date, also came to the Stardust Bar. Clear looks mediocre and lacks the skills to tease a man. She is a high school chemistry teacher with all the qualities of a high school female teacher. Playboy was not satisfied with it, wanted to try to get away, and happened to find Marty to help. After being rejected by Marty righteously, the scumbag found a second substitute. Clearly was a little panicked about this, a kind girl, is she always tortured by fate? Marty, who had been observing in secret, realized that an opportunity had come. In this way, the two broken hearts were tightly and dramatically combined together. As soon as Marty and Clear met, they fought fiercely, telling each other their troubles. It’s just because I looked at you more in the crowd , Never forget your face again. I would rather believe that we had an appointment in the previous life, and the love story in this life will not change. A person with an ordinary appearance may have an extraordinary heart. However, two people who love each other still need to experience many twists and turns and temptations. Even the opposition from the family, especially the opposition from the prospective mother-in-law, made Marty annoyed because he felt that he had found true love. Marty's mother is a traditional woman who has always been husband and wife, conservative and stubborn. For Clear, who has received higher education and is plain-looking, he is full of prejudice and incomprehension. Coupled with her old sister's experience, the old lady was even more afraid of her son's departure. But in fact, this kind of departure is inevitable. It's better to let go as soon as possible instead of struggling. The director has very ulterior motives in setting the film here. First of all, we have to figure out that Marty is a descendant of Italian immigrants, and his old mother copied English with a strong Italian accent. Because of war and poverty, in the early 20th century, a large number of Italians began to flood into the United States. Here they do not know English, believe in Catholicism, lack a good education, and can only do some physical work, so it is difficult to integrate into the mainstream society of the United States at that time. This has gradually led to their self-containedness, becoming more conservative and feudal. In the film, Marty's mother's dislike of Clearer, and Marty's work, can tell some clues. The mainstream belief in the United States is Puritanism, a radical branch of British Protestantism. After the struggle with European sects was hopeless, he chose to come to the United States. Puritanism emphasizes equality, freedom, abstinence, and democracy (the differences between these sects are collectively referred to as Christianity in China). On the other hand, Catholicism has always been regarded by the Puritans as authoritarian, ignorant and backward. The old otaku Marty in the film, his lifestyle and philosophy, is becoming more and more Puritan, that is, more and more American. They are breaking away from the shackles of the first generation of traditional Italian immigrants and are beginning to gradually approach the identity of real Americans. This is why the director wants him to find a woman who is obviously a Puritan to be his wife, and he does not hesitate to go against his mother's will. The director may hope that through this film, more Italian immigrants, accept American culture, become more diligent, hardworking, honest and trustworthy, cherish credibility, and take more public responsibilities for the country. Rather than relying on looks and violence to defile the pure young girls of the Puritans. Although the final ending was a little hurried, fortunately, the lovers came together after all. The problems of older men and women will resonate to a certain extent in all parts of the world, especially in this era when it is easy to lose themselves. Everyone is becoming more and more cautious about certain choices. Fortunately, the protagonist of the film has found the true love he desires. It's a pity that more people, for various reasons, eventually pass by with true love. Some people say that this is a good and approachable movie, and it describes things like things around us. The director did indeed have such a purpose. Using this technique, he played down the image of the Italian Mafia that had run rampant across the United States in the 1940s and 50s in the hearts of the American people. This is also the main reason why the male protagonist is set to be of Italian origin. Perhaps this can also be understood as an attempt by the Italian mafia forces to gradually penetrate into the Hollywood film circle to whitewash their own image and legalize the family business. It is not difficult to see that the US authorities are happy to accept the reconciliation signal conveyed by this film and the portrayal of the positive image of foreign descent. After all, the endless violent incidents of foreign descent at the time made the US government feel very troubled and powerless. The film "The Gentleman is Good", using reasonable and plain techniques, appropriately dispelled the image of Italian Americans who had been demonized in the hearts of ordinary Americans, and was affirmed by the Oscar judges. With regard to this kind of propaganda, can the Korean government learn from this model to ease the demonicization of the lower Han nationality's image of certain minorities in the country? Certainly.
