Guys and Dolls (1955)

This is a movie that has been downloaded for a long time. I want to watch it because of Glee. Now that there are subtitles on the Internet, watch it all.

The film tells about the love of two gamblers. The male number one has opened a casino since he was a child. Recently, the wind is very tight, so he needs 1,000 yuan in cash in order to set up a secret gambling game. The male number one met the generous male number two in the restaurant and wanted to get money from him. Therefore, the male number one bet that the male number two will not bring the female number one to Havana, Cuba. The male number two accepted the bet and tried to get close to the female number one. Female number one is a nun of the church, male number two used the crisis of the church to lure him and offered to help them when the superiors inspected. This made the female one had to follow him to Havana. At this time, the male number one quarreled with his fiancé who had been engaged for 14 years and refused to marry. Just as the actor was about to open a gambling game, the police came. The gamblers had no choice but to say that they were preparing the wedding for the male number one. Hearing this news, the female number two was very excited, and agreed that the two eloped the next day. In Havana, the female number one fell madly in love with the male number two. The two reluctantly returned to New York, only to find that the male number one used the church to set up a gambling game, which made the female number one think that the male number two had deliberately transferred her. Makes her very unhappy. The male number two had difficulty arguing, so he came to the male number one and told the female number two that she had eloped. The male number one came to the underground casino, gambled on the souls of all gamblers with money, and won. In this way, gamblers became sinners of the church, and the church was successful. Finally, male number one and female number two, and male number two and female number one tied the knot.

I didn't have much hope before watching this film, but after watching it, it brought me great surprises. Because the dialogue in the movie is so interesting! It can be said that it is a hilarious comedy. From the first line of dialogue, the film is full of joy, and in the process of the film, there are frequent laughs. The humor in this film is beyond words, so I won’t say more. I can only say that although the lines of the movie are playful and funny, they are reasonable and highly humorous. What impressed me the most in the film was the female No. 2’s airy tone and the joyful sneeze. The screenwriter of this film is really powerful, and he can come up with such an irrelevant laugh. ! In short, the first impression of this movie is not singing and dancing, but witty dialogue, which is a rare comedy movie.

In addition to the humor of the movie, the most prominent feature of the movie is singing and dancing. The song and dance of the film bears the distinctive mark of the musicals of the 1950s. The songs are not beautiful, but they rhyme with the dialogue, and the tunes are all very traditional old-fashioned songs. I have to talk about the dances of the movie separately. They are very delicate, especially the coordination of group dances, which can be described by the word "tidy and uniform", which looks very comfortable. All these make the film very attractive in terms of singing and dancing, especially in a few large scenes.

The above are the advantages of the movie, and it is also worthy of appreciation. As for the rest, the movie is very ordinary, and so is the theme of the movie. After all, this is a comedy that focuses on singing and dancing. The light and pleasant plot is the focus of the movie, so it will not have any profound themes. Of course, the film is still praising the beauty of love and involves some vices about gambling, but the film is not critical, just for everyone to laugh. In short, you don't need to think too much about the process of watching this film. You can watch it with a normal heart. It is just for leisure and entertainment.

The filming is quite satisfactory. This film is adapted from a stage play, so the scenes are very concentrated. Basically, one story and one scene are not much different from watching a stage play. Therefore, the film is not unique in terms of shooting, so I won't say much.

Finally, let’s talk about the actors. The male second actor is Marlon Brando, he is very young in the film, and his gestures are very elegant. All of this reminds me of Chuck Bass in "Gossip Girl." The male number one actor is Frank Sinatra, a familiar face. I was surprised that this ordinary-looking singer appeared in so many movies. The leading actress is Jean Simmons. She has seen a lot of movies. It seems that she was also a very popular actress when she was young. Vivian Blaine, the second female actor, is not very famous, but her superb acting skills have left a deep impression on me, especially the strange character of the character, which is so fun.

in conclusion. This is a particularly good-looking comedy musical, although the song is not ear-worthy, but the hilarious dialogue is too good! It's a pity not to watch such a classic movie again in your lifetime!

Guys and Dolls quotes

  • Sergeant Sarah Brown: [after Sky confesses that their date is just part of a bet] Why not? You're a gambler. And darling... you are also a chump.

  • Sergeant Sarah Brown: Apparently you're a successful gambler.

    Sky Masterson: Is it wrong to gamble, or only to lose? I'd better come back for help when I'm broke.

    Sergeant Sarah Brown: Please don't misunderstand. It's just so unusual for a successful sinner to be unhappy about sin.

    Sky Masterson: Besides, my unhappiness came up very suddenly. Maybe it'll go away again.

    Arvide Abernathy: We can keep you unhappy, son. Give us a chance.
