destruction and birth

I remember that I watched this movie on my mobile phone when I was playing outside, but the appeal was not weak at all. I fell asleep after thinking about it for a long time at night, and when the sun sets on the beach, a man listens to his beloved. I fell asleep in the resonance of the song going to death, and that kind of emotion makes people hang their hearts for a long time and cry for it. Tears (to be honest, my English is very poor, and the subtitle version doesn't translate the song and dance parts, but it doesn't seem to weaken the emotion at all), I want to say that the movie seems to shape the characters and the situation too well, Judy Garland's performance It is so sincere and moving, which is not only the talent of director George Cook, but also Mason's acting skills. These two roles jointly shaped the birth and destruction of this heartbreaking star. After watching it many times, every time Once at the beginning, when Mason woke up in the bedroom, the melody of "Gotta Have Me Go With You" sounded softly, and the visual sense shook him extremely strongly, as did the destruction in the sunset song at the end.

I don't like the way the ending is handled, I've watched it multiple times and always choose to end where Mason goes to ruin, which is the emotional climax of the movie, and it's not very good to extend it. The singing and dancing part is wonderful, but not how well planned or how new (the bedroom part is exquisitely planned and full of new ideas, but other than that, it is only traditionally used to narrate and express characters). The first "Gotta Have Me Go With You" opened, funny, but it created a strong sense of sight somewhere; the subsequent "The Man That Got Away" was amazing and extremely romantic; and then "Here's WhatI'm Here For" "Lose That Long Face", "Born In A Trunk", and "Someone At Last" all express things in Garland's voice and eyes, and the beauty of the last song "It's A New World" is already unbearable. said.

    Norman Maine: There are certain pleasures that you get--

    [realizes that the sound of clanging dishes is intolerable and they depart for the outside]

    Norman Maine: There are certain pleasures you get, little-little jabs of pleasure when a swordfish take a hook, or-or when you see a great fighter get in right for the kill, see?

    Norman Maine: You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?

    Esther Blodgett: No, not yet. Why don't you try bullfights?
