6.2 is a bit low
After all, it is the earliest batch of a type, and it is considered the first mover.
Moreover, it is an experiment of sound technology in the period when the subtitle card has not completely disappeared. It should have a relatively important significance in the history of film.
Later, some of China's nonsense concepts can get 7 points, this film ideally scores at least about 6.7.
The plot is indeed flawed, but it hasn’t been particularly unsightly, but it’s a bit inconsistent with the political correctness of women’s boxing, but it’s true.
In this film, it is true that women are either the background board for men to sing, or they are just a body
(The degree of American obsession with thighs is really scary. There is a scene where Hank fights the fierce actress, and a group of onlookers rushes up. The camera specifically took a picture of everyone’s calves staggered, but I didn’t see it. What's the meaning or connection with the plot, it seems to just show the stacked flesh)
The elder sister is very great, the younger sister is very frivolous, the male protagonist is so blessed that it is not fucked, and he can accept both sisters directly, so why bother to entangle.
Reminds me of "Powder Market", the role played by Hu Die is a little like his sister. He also entered the modern society of the city from a small place, choosing between a poor/talented/sincere man 1 and a rich/loving/lewd man 2. But "Powder Market" deals with it more realistically, shattering all dreams, new women can only rely on themselves, there is no good man waiting for you to change your mind.
I also think of the choice between the poor/talented/sincere poor painter and the rich, romantic/lewd rich second generation played by the singer Zhou Xuan played by Gu Yelu in "Song of the Showgirl", but there is a guardian here. Dad, played the role of the hero of the film.
The male protagonist’s actions towards the rich second generation are very interesting: labelled hatred and hatred, having money and having fun = moral decay, but he can't beat others at all. Is this due to the design of the film censorship law at that time?
The song and dance are completely out of touch with the plot. The camera is purely recording the stage. The song and dance do not reflect the emotions and motivations of the characters. The characters on the stage do not have the "dual nature" later. He is also playing the role of singing and dancing. What you do here and now. The broadway melody of "Song in the Rain" is also of this nature (of course, there are also elements of the memoirs of the male protagonist), which may be too long.
