When we talked about this topic, it was 2006. I watched this film in 2001. I vaguely remember that the plot is a story of a strong woman's emotional failure. The second impression is satc. I
watched it again last night and clarified a few points:
1 . The hero and heroine not only dated but also got married, I forgot they had a child at all.
2. satc not only stole the last scene, but also the male protagonist made mean remarks at the reception and a group of playboys, and the female criticized the scene angrily. Putting it into desire is very similar, the difference is that the woman runs to the balcony and the bartender smokes marijuana.
3. In the end, the woman did not become a leftover woman, but remarried and seemed happy. The sadness of the reunion between the two is not at all like the sadness I mistakenly thought ten years ago.
Looking at it again, the most impressive thing is that after the Hollywood 10 Gentlemen Incident, the woman went to protest with her stomach held out, and her husband went to arrest her, but ended up fighting with passers-by, and the two of them had a big fight when they got home. The main idea is:
Women shout, we have to fight for human rights.
The man shouted, this country has no human rights at all! (Haha, the people who watch it have a lot of emotions). This is not a university anymore. Politics is very dangerous. After many years, the hostile parties will make peace and collude with each other, and those sacrifices in the past will be in vain.
Of course, this is not lust, and the heroine is not Kwong Yumin.
This film has been regarded as a romance film for 40 years, because there is no political conflict between men and women, but one is radical and the other joins the WTO. The contradiction is a conflict of character rather than principle.
Going to Wiki to see gossip, it touches some clues.
Arthur Laurents, screenwriter, was a member of a left-wing political organization when he was young, and the heroine prototype was his former comrade-in-arms.
Arthur Laurents is gay, best known for his script of West End Kirk's "The Ropes," which featured his then-boyfriend.
Very old-fashioned, gay, playwright, left wing.
The starting point of writing twww is to portray a political woman, so the original script is completely the center of the heroine, and the man is just a foil. Homosexuals write heroine stories, and cliche.
al writes according to Barbra, and the male protagonist is Ryan O'neal, the male protagonist of "Love Story".
But the producers disagreed because barbra and ryan are a couple and just broke up.
So al recommended Pollack, who had just broken heads at the time, and Pollack brought good news. He could find Redford to play the role through personal friendship, and it was a bigger name.
Redford was dissatisfied with the script and felt that the male role was too "superficial" and wanted to play more. Apparently in doing so, the script would break the woman-centered setting.
The gossip said that Redford insisted that he and Barbara not be in the same room privately and that "there must be a third person present".
The queen was known for her fiery temper and difficulty in cooperating, and it seemed that Redford was on guard.
No wonder later generations of movie fans see the latter two views, one thinks that the chemical effect is super strong, and the other thinks that these two people are in love with each other, obviously they don't even bother to look directly at each other.
Al was kicked out of the group because the male protagonist and the director gasped out of one nostril.
Another classic case, exactly the same as the original "Gone with the Wind".
The script was revised by a group of people, and in the end, the hero and heroine couldn't stand it any longer. The producer had to find al to come back and rewrite it, of course, it must be on the basis of equal status of men and women.
However, in the final film we saw that the first name to appear was barbra, which shows that the role of Oscar is still very large.
Pollack took out the results of the first cut, al was dumbfounded, and it sucked.
Pollack had to go back and re-cut, and finally cut out what we see now.
After 10 years, the feud between al and Redford has disappeared, and they talked about cooperation again. They once mentioned making a sequel, but the director did not ask Pollack, and al sent the script over, but Redford did not reply.
