this is drama

"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (USA, 1958, also known as The Fantastic Woman)
features beautiful women, handsome men, Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor, and Tennessee Williams who can tell a story.

This is another of his works after "A Streetcar Named Desire", which is full of desire, depression and struggle.
Among them, the love between husband and wife, the love between father and son, and the love between friends are all intricate, and the portrayal is very exciting and profound.
The son kept drinking because of the death of his friend and broke his leg. His bullish temper made me smile, so extremely like me. The friend he admires is actually a coward, and there is also a homosexual tendency in between.

Paul Newman is so handsome, he's almost as good as Marlon Brando. I've never liked Taylor, but she was wronged here and won my favor.

The black and white films of the 1950s are really good. Start with Citizen Kane, whether it's Soulbreak Blue Bridge, Casablanca, Psycho. . . The charm of black and white is intoxicating. The photographic contrast is strong, while the story is dramatic, the dialogue is good, and the star beauty is eternal, which is worth cherishing.

  • Margaret "Maggie" Pollitt: This is a deliberate campaign to ruin Brick!

    Mae Pollitt: He don't need no help.

    Margaret "Maggie" Pollitt: [crying] And for the most sordid reasons on earth! Greed! Avarice and greed!

    Ida 'Big Momma' Pollitt: Margaret, darling, don't cry.

    Mae Pollitt: Well, that takes the cake! Who are the tears for? Brick? Big Daddy? Or are they for yourself? Are you crying cause you're childless? You know why she's got no kids? Ask her big, beautiful husband!

    Gooper Pollitt: Mae!

  • Gooper Pollitt: You said I never loved Big Daddy. How would you know? How would he know? Did he ever let anybody love him? It was always Brick, always. From the day he was born, he was always partial to Brick. Why? Big Daddy wanted me to become a lawyer. I became a lawyer. He said to get married, I got married. He said to have kids, I had kids. He said to live in Memphis, I lived in Memphis. Whatever he said to do, I did.
