The Apartment 1960
finally returned to the 60s of the last century You don't need to watch movies from the 1930s or 1940s anymore. The name of this film has been heard in many channels, and today I can finally see it.
The story of the film is set in New York, the international metropolis. An office worker who worked hard in a big company, in order to get promoted and have a good relationship with the leader, had to lend his apartment to his bosses as a temporary hotel for them to date with the mistress. This kind of behavior of his is really effective, and the bosses are all saying good things for him. After the boss of the personnel department knew about this, he also asked the employee for the right to use the room. But the boss's mistress turned out to be the man's crush - Miss Elevator. He didn't know it at first, but only by accident. The boss of the personnel department was just playing with this woman, not serious. The elevator lady was very serious. When she knew that the boss in the personnel department was just playing, she took sleeping pills and prepared to commit suicide. Fortunately, the owner of the apartment found a doctor in time to save her. So, the two spent a happy two days in the apartment. Later, the secretary of the boss of the personnel department told his wife the truth. He really wanted to get a divorce. Xiaosan returned to the boss of the personnel department in return, and the owner of the apartment was rejoicing. In the end, the apartment owner resigned, the elevator lady also left the HR boss, and the two happily played poker in the apartment.
Billy Wilder's movies always surprise people. This film is a light comedy-style romantic comedy, just like the Hollywood romantic comedies we see every year. It is humorous, romantic and touching, but this film is better than them. . It turns out that this type of film in Hollywood has been around since 1960. The theme of the movie is very simple: you can't do anything for fame and fortune, and you need to pay for everything you do. For this film, renting an apartment without principle has hurt others as well as myself, and made myself lose a good opportunity to pick up a girl. Of course, there are also criticisms of the real society, some mistresses are immoral, men will reap the consequences and so on. In addition, the movie also praises the greatness of love through some romantic plots, such as people do some silly things for love and so on.
There are many advantages to this film. First of all, the setting of the plot is very fresh. Although this film is relatively far from our age, it is still not bad in the 21st century. The plot is novel and makes it impossible to guess the direction of the story. Today, when the plot of Hollywood movies is becoming more and more homogeneous, there is still no movie that can surpass it, and this film is worthy of being a classic. Moreover, a movie with a good story is more than half successful.
Secondly, the structure of the film is complete, the lines are clear, and the plot settings are very organized. Each link is linked to each other. Every event and every scene is related to each other. Without any link, the story is incomplete. For example, the secretary does not tell the elevator. Miss the truth, she will not commit suicide, if she does not commit suicide, the secretary will not be resigned, if she does not resign, the secretary will not tell the truth, if she does not tell the truth, the boss of the personnel department will not divorce, and so on. Films with such a compact and complete structure are increasingly rare now.
Third, the laughter of this film is very natural, not funny for the sake of being funny. The helplessness of the male protagonist while watching TV, the misunderstanding of the neighbors, etc., are all things that happen naturally in life. They follow the plot and go with the flow, not man-made. Such a funny style is very different from the comedies of this day and age. Still old Hollywood movies are timeless and stand the test of time.
Finally, the actor's performance is sincere and natural, lively and interesting. The hero Jack Lemmon left a deep impression on me in "Passionate", and this film still does. His performance when he had a cold was so funny. The constant phone calls, the constant nose blowing, and his endless supply of toilet paper, made me so happy. "Chaplin No. 2" is definitely not a misnomer. The heroine Shirley MacLaine's performance is a little worse, but still eye-catching. When she was young, she was really beautiful, pure and lovely, and had an elegant temperament. Although the acting is a little tender, but the performance in this film is also competent. The performance of a silly woman is perfect, just like a silly woman in life, which is very convincing.
In general, although it is a film from the 1960s, although it is a black and white film, it is many times better than the current film. This film series belongs to IMDB250 is well-deserved. A must-see movie in life.
