splendor in the grass

I just recently read the history of the United States in the 1920s, so I can feel it better. I finished watching it with full English subtitles; when I didn't watch it, I thought the title was pretty good, and after I finished it, I thought the title was terrible. A teen film set in the Depression Era, about sex, patriarchy, women's status, "The Jazz Age", "The Lost Generation"…

I also understand the meaning of "splendor in the grass", how can the meeting scene of the two people not make people sigh! "splendor in the grass" is a line from the English poet Wordsworth: What though the radiance which was once so bright Be now for ever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower We will grieve not, but rather find Strength in what remains behind. Beginning with the first kiss in film history, Natalie Wood was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for Splendor in the Grass, which is also the Len Beatty's first starring film, and Warren Beatty also fell madly in love with Natalie Wood on the set, but Natalie Wood, then 22, was married to actor Robert Wagner, but then divorced and the two got together, but unfortunately, Warren Beatty was an amorous man, and the two eventually parted ways.

    It's not Tennessee Williams' book. Oh, the twentieth century is too much of South America. It's really poisonous. It's very embarrassing. Why does Wood always play such a miserable role?

    Rather than depicting sexual repression, it is more about the inhibition of family and environment on people's desires. The whole theme is still very good. The people in small towns in the United States are really conservative to death, very much like the feudal society, and even in the current China, there is more or less a reference. Kazan's control is still effective, the camera feels dangerous and charming, and the characters' emotions are adjusted to a very thematic state, but this method seems to be a bit outdated now, it is a very old-fashioned stability, but also It is stagnant and rigid. Natalie Wood's beautiful face is matched with excellent performance. From delicate and sensitive to tough and mature, it is great from the inside out. As for Warren Beatty, it is enough to sell a skin.
