Wealth is more expensive than people

When I first watched Marilyn Monroe's comedy "How to marry a millionaire", what was always circling in my mind was Monroe's soft American English, red lips and white teeth, very tempting. In that era when the editing and switching effects were still very simple and rough, the ease of watching movies was even greater than today.

one. The story and the film
The story is about three impoverished beautiful models in New York who pursue their scheming plan of catching beetles for wealth, only to find that it is not easy to tell who is the real beetle and who is the fake one from the crowd of well-dressed men. Even if the golden tortoise is caught, the true love cannot be bought with money. When they face the final choice, they still put the value of love above money. Such a romantic comedy cannot be underestimated.
The elements used by the director are actually very vulgar, such as plot, beauty, love, jokes, singing and dancing, and of course, the fifth diamond king. The strange thing is that such elements can be innovative and legendary. This results in a lot of interesting big and small fits in the loop, making people laugh and marvel at the impermanence of fate. Although life is like a play, it is better to say that play is like life. No life is so wonderful, how can you be a drama student?
This is the wisdom of filmmakers and literati in the 1950s or even earlier.
Unlike the original shoddy production, although the lighting set is single and the color is slightly distorted, it cannot change the impact of the whole play on the audience.
Moreover, the characters in the play are portrayed in a relatively simple manner on the film. There is no unpredictable complex personality of struggle and contradiction, and it only makes you feel relaxed. This is a feeling that you will never have when watching a modern blockbuster.

two. At that time
, as long as there was inequality between men and women, there would be such a drama, fishing for golden turtles. Women have not received much education, and they are mostly only family and female workers, so they regard men as women's jobs for the rest of their lives, and their minds are full of the future, husband and children, and short parents.
Compared with today's girls in Europe, America and even the East, the pretty models shown in the film at that time were pure and innocent, with not a high degree of education. It's such a stubborn streak that people can't hate it, they're so cute and charming.
Of course, there are actions like seeing Qian Qian's eyes wide open - eyes wide, shining, breathing stagnant, the corners of the lips raised - too obvious, too easy to see through, but not annoying.
This is human nature impulse, isn't it?
Knowing to let go of all your thoughts and restraint and sit down with Mr. "Pauper" in a cheap burger joint to let go of his stomach and eat a full meal before realizing what he wants.
So at the end of the play, the protagonists have a dinner party in this small shop, where they can talk and laugh easily, which is what life is looking for.
It's a pity that such outspoken men and women are extremely rare. Where can you find a woman who dares to love and speak out like Pola and Schatze! When all the expressions and desires are hidden under the thick layer of powder, you will not know what they want, let alone read their hearts. It is indeed the level of education that determines that women give up their independence and rely on men, so they have an incomplete understanding of wealth and the value of life. Maybe colleges will one day turn into concentration camps for mistresses and juniors, but this is indeed the path women choose.

three. Unless you have a lot of money, ignore me
. Of course, such a lovely woman does not include another kind of person. Huali volunteers who shouted "would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle", maybe just for a moment of fame Noise, in exchange for a few cheap flashes.
The vulgar blind date draft, the vulgar blind date draft, and the scandal leftovers that the media digs and targets, the root cause of all this is the continuous decline of public taste, which eventually forms a vicious circle. So someone stepped on a few exclamation marks on the front page of an online newspaper and occupied the cusp of public opinion. Some people use the appearance of gimmicks to hype, some people use their ex-boyfriends to spread their pornographic photos all over the Internet, some people use people's ugliness to promote themselves, some people use the charity organization Weibo to show off their wealth... Many people sigh and scold them again and again Click on the relevant webpage once, buy one more thematic newspaper, and then gushed about your righteous and decisive views to relatives, friends, colleagues and customers after dinner. As everyone knows, he has fallen into a cliché.
The so-called "don't come to me if you don't have a house, a car, or a diamond ring" is just a manifestation of your own inability; the so-called "love is just a hormone secretion, and it will die out in six months at most" because of mental development The result of being immature but insisting on rushing to define it; the so-called "whose husband is a fucking temporary worker" is just a lack of rationality caused by a personality defect.
The poor and pathetic men and women show themselves to the public in the process of using and anti-using, hyping and being hyped again and again. They are full of ugliness and at the same time feel happy. Their abilities still need to be questioned, and they rushed out of the crowd and shouted loudly without hesitation. His so-called outlook on life is really disgusting.
The real wealth is not in dazzling, but in the process of creating a steady stream of wealth and wealth management. A real millionaire will not brag about himself in a high-profile manner, but can listen to your ideals and life carefully at the burger shop sitting on the corner with you, and give a unique idea. Wealth is something outside the body. It is not wealth that is rich, it is people's thoughts that should be rich.
Without the process of continuous improvement and enrichment to enhance their own value, there will be no real "rich" choices
