Notes on the movie "Sweet Sister"

-Hepburn is really not suitable for acting as a young literary girl, she is very suitable for acting as a girl princess, both in terms of temperament and appearance. "Roman Holiday" is the "Princess Diary" sixty years ago, and Hepburn is Anne Hathaway of the golden age. All Hepburn acting as a young literary girl, such as "Breakfast at Tiffany's", such as this one, are very embarrassing, and they are very distant from the role. For example, Hepburn played a nerd in this film, a bookstore girl who is keen to read and talk about philosophy with others, watching her seriously carrying those things that she obviously doesn’t understand about existentialism, materialism, idealism, and resonance. The lines of theory and empiricism are really amusing. .

-The parts of this film other than the main story are very beautiful, and quite remarkable, just give a few examples.

· The age difference between the male and female protagonists in this movie is about 20 years old. Most movies of the same period are like this. It should be related to the current social situation in the United States at that time.

· The female editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine is probably the prototype of Miranda in the later fashion female demon, but it is much softer. In fact, watching the female editor-in-chief and the male lead come to Professor Huo's house to find Hepburn, and the scene of impromptu singing and dancing by the way is really much more interesting than watching Hepburn. The female editor-in-chief actor deserves to be Jiang is old and hot.

· Speaking of Professor Huo’s family literary salons, imaginative literary activities, contemporary director Baumbach also satirized in While We're Young, what can you say, you can only say that New York and Paris have a time difference of about fifty years. The rest of Paris’s fifties, and New York’s literary and artistic youths are still very interested in playing in the 21st century.

· The actor saw Hepburn admiring Professor Huo wholeheartedly, and angrily warned her that Professor Huo was not approaching a student as a philosopher at all, but approaching you as a man approaching a woman. Hepburn refuted unconvincedly, could it be that he Are you not attracted by my wisdom at all? The actor sarcastically said that he is as interested in your mind as I am in your mind (that's probably better than nothing.

-So although there are still lovers who misunderstand the twists and turns of this film at the end, they finally get married, but if we really get closer to see the truth about the two people together, we will find that the protagonist still treats Hepburn as an interesting and beautiful girl. He It's cute to watch Hepburn talk about those philosophies endlessly. As for what she is talking about and what she is really interested in, the actor neither wants to know nor wants to cooperate. This may be a man’s love for a woman, but obviously it’s not a man’s love for another. This kind of love is not based on understanding—not even the intention to understand. It is entirely based on the sexual attraction of appearance. . As an old movie, it may be enough to present a story, but the nature of this feeling is frustrating, and it also makes people discover that the contempt for female minds and intelligence in the movies of that era is really specific and thoughtful. The female characters themselves, no matter how they are packaged, Still treated as a sexual resource. The "growth" of a woman is presented as an awakening of her own sexual charm, but this recognition is obviously still not outdated after 60 years, and this is the most sorrowful place.
