Who says comedy has to end with an As-you-like-it laugh

Funny Girl

Be sure to say it first:

The translation of "Funny Girl" is really... the literal translation can't be like this? ! ? ! (Please automatically fill in the black question mark face)

Fanny & Berry

After all, after watching Rachel Berry's version of many times, I came to watch and learn the original. I have to say that Ms. Lea Michele and Barbra Streisand are really similar in one way: the nose that catches the audience's eye. Of course, I don't think the nose is so annoying, but they all love to keep laughing at themselves.

Barbra's influence on Lea is really great, and I feel that Rachel Berry in is simply an extended version of Fanny Brice in : a babbling character, no need to breathe, in the singing career Unrelenting drive, even the expression and gesture when singing are imitating idols. It really deserves to be worshipped in and out of the play, paid tribute in and out of the play, and performed in and out of the play.

Of course, the goddess in Lea's mind is a goddess after all. After seeing the original work, she did find the gap between the two people. When I watched Lea's version of , I was already convinced by the appeal of musicals: songs that break apart the plot can also have enough tension. The only thing that makes people dramatic is why Lea keeps raising her head (although I think girls are so attractive and lethal when they look up). After reading the original version, I realized that Barbra had been raising his head when he sang. She looked up because she didn't want the tears to linger during the performance. (Inexplicably thought, "stand upside down when you want to cry, so that the tears will not flow down" 23333). Of course, before the two ends were sung, two bean-sized tears rolled down, and the heat of sadness could be felt across the screen. But looking at Lea again, half a line of tears came out after singing. Although I still like Lea very much, and is already a very good singer, it is still not comparable to Barbra.

Pity & Pretty

Let's talk about the movie itself.

It's no surprise to get an Oscar nomination that year. It's just that her editing is good, but I can't comment. Maybe the technology at the time was limited. This year people are still saying that "La La Land" dances awkwardly if it doesn't agree, so just look at the musicals from decades ago to see how smooth the editing is today.

I still remember watching "Roman Holiday" when I was a sophomore in high school, and then asked a friend of mine who liked Hepburn very much, "I always thought this movie was about two people together." My friend replied: "Silly JJ, the most beautiful It often ends up like this with regret.”

The happy ending in fairy tales probably won't be so happy.

The film that was messed up by translation also gave me the illusion that everyone is happy, and the "funny" girls are not necessarily "funny" endings. In the conversation before the hearing, in fact, I could already feel that the atmosphere was wrong, and everything was overwhelmed. It's not the people who are at fault, but the circumstances that are brought about by chance and coincidence that no one can control. It's not something you can fix by admitting "I was wrong and I'll never do it again". This is helpless, it is regret, but at the same time it is the inevitability of life.

Among the good works, I refer to the good works that can be circulated for a hundred years, and many of them contain a lot of regret and sadness. Because it has deep emotions and real sadness, it is a classic that can really move people.

Female & Male

In fact, I want to touch on some sensitive topics.

Remember the song "You are woman, I am man" by Nick and Fanny in the hotel?

This song is full of Masculinity of men and Femininity of women, the dominance of men is unmistakable, and the femininity of women is not violated. In fact, this piece shows the relationship between men and women in love. The reason why there are males and females is precisely because the two genders have their own advantages and disadvantages, and should have their own division of labor in the relationship between the sexes, and even in life (each has his own strengths) and society (each has his own strengths) to achieve harmony. of stability. But this is a reasonable law of division of labor, but in modern society, it is criticized as "straight man cancer", which is also a bit helpless.

Indeed, it cannot be ruled out that there are people who do not fit the above rules. After all, the world cannot be only black and white and polarized, but more in between. In a person, it reflects the comprehensive characteristics of both yin and yang. However, the "Yang" in most men is more important than the "Yin", or the "Yang" men account for the majority of the total, and vice versa for women. Facts like this form a stereo type, leading to a partially old-school absolutist view that labels both men and women. This is certainly inappropriate, but it is by no means a reason to reverse yin and yang. It can only be said that there are male femininity and female masculinity, which is normal and acceptable in modern society (No-bias). Excessive emphasis, appeal and promotion of male yin and female yang must be overdone.

Does it remind you of Han Han's "Manifesto of Man" a while ago? Hot articles about this incident are everywhere on the Internet, either criticizing his hype, or scolding him for committing cancer, or supporting his frank point of view. I also don't want to speculate on what his intentions were or what other people are like. But I don't think the lyrics of this song really need to be too fussy. In this free-speech society, to attack a point of view that is not legally or morally wrong, it implies a somewhat boring "political correctness".

There are differences between men and women in the division of labor. But in fact, men and women are equal to each other (it is impossible to achieve absolute equality in the world; only relative equality can be achieved). Nick used to be Fanny's Bole. It can be detected from Fanny's subtle behavior changes, she has gradually stepped from the lower class to the upper "class", it is indeed Nick's words or deeds or subtle influence. In the first half, men dominated, and I think he earned it. After all, Nick is also self-reliant and doing what he is good at. In the second half, due to the rise of women, her halo even covered her marriage surname from time to time, making men pale again. In the end, the two had no choice but to separate, but after all, they pursued their favorite careers.

In fact, this is a kind of equality (and freedom), a little helpless, but harmonious and reasonable. Whether it is Masculine or Feminine, both of them can achieve a career with their own characteristics, and they will end in the same way. It's really unnecessary to make it too high-level.
