In "Blue Angel", Marlene Dietrich is undoubtedly the only and biggest bright spot. The Blue Angel made her, and she also made the Blue Angel. Dietrich's plump figure, beautiful face, provocative eyes, and charming voice made the words "beautiful, sexy, and charming" appear dull and pale in her body. She has always been the focus of everyone's attention, the talk after dinner, and the lover of dreams. Beauty is irresistible, and the film demonstrates that perfectly. It's to be expected that the school kids are crazy about Laura, but when the pedantic Professor Emmalas also starts to fall in love with Laura after he calms down in the first game, Laura exudes infinite charm. The most vivid display. The professor became more and more mad at him, fell in love with him, and proposed to him, after which the two lived together. It seems a bit nondescript and shocking. An old-fashioned professor and a sexy dancer always seem out of tune. Two people from different worlds can have intersections, but it is not as simple as imagined to coexist. Because of this incident, the professor was disgraced, his former majesty was gone, and he was reduced to a clown actor in a troupe. The peaceful and stable life in the past began to deviate from the right track and embarked on a road of no return, which is destined to end in tragedy. . Even though Laura is married, there are still many suitors, and Laura is also secretly in love with her. This made the professor intolerable, but helpless. In the end, the professor could not bear this humiliating life, and was on the verge of mental breakdown, and finally escaped from the Blue Angels and died on the school podium.
Did Laura ruin his life, or did he kill himself and ruin his future? I don't think it's Laura's fault. Beauty is innocent, and Laura should not belong to anyone. She is like an elf who has fallen into the mortal world. Although she has suffered some worldly dust, she is so innocent. People love. And the professor's feelings for Laura are not necessarily love, it is mixed with primitive impulses and more desires. The professor's pursuit of Laura, in a sense, is equivalent to a moth to a flame. It is an unstoppable process of degeneration, and the end can only be death. And Laura's attitude towards love can be found in her singing throughout the film: Love has always been my game/Play as you like/I'm like this/There's no reason/Men fly like moths to fire/I know it's not My fault. Of course, the professor's tragic fate is not her fault. Maybe we can only say that it is all the fault of beauty.
