Watching a lot of old Hollywood movies during this period is quite touching.
Look at this "Everything Allowed in Heaven" (also translated "Deep Locked in the Spring") filmed by Douglas Seck , and there is no charm. Presumably the older the person is, the more emotional it is. In the film, the heroine is played by Reagan’s former wife Zhenhui, and the actor is the tall actor Rock Hudson who has starred in "Giant". Unfortunately, he died of AIDS in 1995.
"Giant" is painful, and the ending of Rock Hudson's own life is not painful. This time I also watched his "Second Life" and "Pillow Drizzle". Rock Hudson looks tall and handsome, so many women fall in love with him, but he is a "homosexual", this can only be an undisclosed secret in that era. Regardless of tragicomedy, his interpretation of the role is extremely serious and wonderful, with unique qualities of both tradition and modernity.
"Everything Allowed by Heaven", a widow and lone old lady guarding a large garden house, although she has a pair of children, she is lonely and lonely, and the pruner Yandeni can almost be her son, in the passage of time and emotions In the collision, the two fell in love. So all kinds of rumors and rumors came to the sky.
This movie naturally reminds me of Fassbender's "Fear Eats Soul". The truth is that it was also adapted from "Everything Allowed in Heaven" to pay tribute to his respected Douglas Seck. The same story elements and deconstruction, but Fassbinder's story is more terrifying, because the old lady fell in love with an Arab guy from Morocco. Salim, who played the role of the Arab boy, is even more embarrassing. The detached "gay" relationship with Fassbender made him feel at a loss and take risks, and eventually fell to a tragic death.
Similarly, what "Fear Eats the Soul" shows that in Germany in the 1970s, this kind of disparity in foreign affairs was also intolerable by society, not to mention that Faji used this to explain a kind of obscure humanity that can't see the light. The Fassbender of the big boy makes people love and hate. He is hysterical at every turn, and it rains and clears up immediately afterwards, but who can deny his movie. Only after carefully savoring his films, can he take a complete look at his genius and devilish fit life. But what I want to say is, how many years later, people only remember his movies, and who really cares about his complicated and reckless life. For his short life, there is only regret and sadness.
"Everything Allowed in Heaven" is much clearer. She is simple and rich, and always has a overflowing sense of happiness, and bitterness is just a condiment. What's more, this happened in the early 1950s. Porcelain, moose and small town style are all poetic elements. There is no bitterness, no screaming, only a trickle, clear and translucent, and then a little bit into the viewer's mind. This is also incomprehensible, it touched Fassbender's brittle heart so much. It's really worth watching again, and it's colorful. In the transition period of the 1940s and 50s, the color is like the clarity of the blue sky, giving people a sense of visual novelty and warmth.
In 1969, "Stolen in Love with Flowers on the Wall" (also translated as "Cactus Flower") is a comedy film entirely. The silly girl Horne appeared as a young girl, and fell in love with the old-fashioned dentist, while the old maiden who was a female dentist’s secret has always loved the old dentist. But the silly girl who wanted to commit suicide was rescued by the writer on the wall, so she died in secret Sentimental.
The whole story is full of jokes, misunderstandings, and quite innovative. Thinking of the two Hong Kong and Taiwan vying to show old films in 1991, I watched a lot of films called silly girl Horne by Hong Kong people. The silly girl rushed through the barriers with endless thrills, and the ending was always happy. It's hard to have such a happy silly girl in Hollywood now.
It is worth mentioning that Ingrid Bergman, who played the role of the old virgin, is still charming and charming, and evokes many associations even though she is middle-aged. Thinking of her appearance in "Casablanca" in 1942, she was deeply moved. After marrying the famous Italian director Rossellini, he also made a lot of good films. Passion is always cooling down. Like Vivien Leigh, Ingrid Bergman's life is also full of sadness and pain, which is regrettable.
During this period of showers, it seemed that the air was filled with the smell of sadness. Only by immersing in light and shadow can people calm down.
Indeed, the old Hollywood movies have a lot of fine works, and there is always an inexplicable temptation, but many good films were innocently overwhelmed. For example, during the "Prohibition" period in the 1920s and 1930s, many good films were banned. Films, as well as the "McCarthyism" that prevailed in the late 1940s and early 1950s, also cast a shadow of invisible light on many films. Shao'an, don't worry, this requires us to slowly dig and deconstruct. I think this is also a different style and fun of European art films.
