The Hollywood movie "It Happened One Night" was not well-received before it was filmed, and both male and female protagonists were reluctant to star in it, but it won the Oscar Grand Slam when it was released. Twenty years later, it was remade into "Roman Holiday" and won another Oscar. Classic stories people really can't get enough of.
One Night's Love and Roman Holiday are both stories of a runaway rich woman and a civilian journalist from conflicting to each other.
The beginning is the same. A rich girl escapes from her family and meets a reporter who wants to get a scoop.
In a romantic night, the banker's daughter's love is opposed by her father, and the eldest miss escapes from the house and goes to New York to find a boyfriend. The father sent detectives to track him down and published a reward for finding his daughter.
During the Roman holiday, the princess, tired of court etiquette, sneaked out of the palace to get some fresh air. The Huang family lied that the princess was ill, and secretly dispatched detectives to find the princess.
The eldest was recognized by reporters when she was on a long-distance bus. The two sides reached an agreement, the reporter escorted the eldest lady to New York, the eldest lady asked him to do an exclusive report, and let him get the bonus offered by his father.
The princess fell asleep on the side of the road and was picked up by reporters. The reporter recognized the princess, but kept silent. He took the princess on a tour of Rome, secretly took pictures of the princess at her play, and wanted to sell it to newspapers to make headlines.
The story of "Roman Holiday" is simple and happy, and a pure romantic day trip.
The princess' day trip to Rome was a joy and a simple one. She lost her long hair and tried a little boy's head shape. She sat directly on the steps, stretched her legs and ate ice cream. She also rode a scooter on the street and was caught in the JC Bureau.
The reporter accompanying the princess patiently accompanies the princess to play, trying their best to make the princess happy, all for the dramatic effect of the photos.
The eldest lady in "It Happened One Night" had a harder time finding her boyfriend. The male protagonist of "It Happened One Night" was not so polite either.
The eldest lady has never been out alone, and is usually accompanied by bodyguards and servants. So she didn't have a sense of precaution, and her luggage and money were stolen within minutes.
She still couldn't change the eldest lady's temper. She treated the bus driver as her personal driver, and completely ignored the driving time. She was late and blamed the driver for not waiting for her.
With only a few dollars in her pocket, she was planning to eat snacks. The male passengers around her kept approaching her, and she didn't know how to get out.
The reporter scoffed at the eldest Miss's silly and sweet behavior, and kept sneering at her. The eldest can only suppress her temper and occasionally find an opportunity to fight back.
For example, when she saw the male protagonist eating raw carrots directly, she did not dare to eat them. Later, I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it anymore, and I started to chew on the skin outside.
For example, when she went to take a shower in a public bathroom, she didn't know that she was going to be in a queue, so she went straight in, and was laughed at by the women in the queue. When she came back, she said, mockingly, that she had a good talk with the women.
For example, reporters boasted about their skills in getting a taxi and invented various gestures for taxis. But when he really took a taxi, dozens of cars whizzed past, ignoring him.
The eldest lady was lying on the wooden bench by the roadside watching his jokes. She laughed enough. The eldest lady said let me come. Then she walked to the side of the road, lifted her skirt, exposed her thighs, and a car stopped immediately. The reporter was stunned.
In order to avoid the pursuit of police and detectives, they could only stay in a small hotel. When the police came to the door, they pretended to be quarreling as husband and wife, crying and vivid, and successfully passed the test.
Along the way, they went from hostile to cooperative to chatting and laughing. "It Happened One Night" showed the process of accumulating and turning the relationship between the male and female protagonists in more detail, which is more convincing than the story of the princess and the reporter falling in love.
The eldest lady and the reporter have a good impression of each other. When the eldest lady poured out her heart to him and expressed that she wanted to escape with him, the reporter refused.
When the eldest girl fell asleep crying, the reporter went out quietly, went to the newspaper boss to borrow money, and wanted to propose to the eldest lady.
But the reporter's quiet departure made the innkeeper suspicious. When the boss found that the reporter and the car were gone, he thought he was a liar and ran away, so he also kicked the eldest lady out of the inn.
The eldest lady thought that the reporter had really run away, so she had to call her father and ask him to come to the inn to take her home.
The reporter borrowed money, and it was almost dawn. He happily drove back and saw the luxury motorcade picking up the eldest lady. He wanted to turn around and chase, but failed to catch up, the luxury motorcade sped away.
In the rich man's manor, the eldest lady is going to marry her boyfriend. Her father found her unhappy and asked her if she was in love with someone else. The eldest girl cried. She said that she fell in love with the reporter, but the reporter despised him and looked down on her.
My father decided to talk to reporters. When the reporter came, he said angrily that he had been tricked by the eldest lady and wanted to get back what he deserved. The banker's father offered the reporter a $10,000 reward, but the reporter refused. He asked for $39.60, which was the money he spent on buying food for the eldest lady on the way.
The father took the eldest lady's hand and walked to the wedding oath platform. He told his daughter that the reporter was good, and there was a car ready outside the door...
So the lady ran away again.
The princess returns to the palace, the eldest lady and reporters tear down the Jericho wall
The eldest and the reporter have stayed at the inn twice. The reporter pulled a rope and draped a blanket over the rope as a curtain to separate the two cots. They call it the Wall of Jericho.
Across the Jericho Wall, they started chatting.
The eldest lady said that I have never been out alone, and that I have been surrounded by bodyguards and babysitters since I was a child. I also want to be my own boss. She asked the reporter who you had loved and what kind of life you wanted to live.
The reporter talked about his yearning, a small island in the Pacific Ocean, a beach, moonlight, and a quiet life...
This is the beginning of their friendship. At the end of "It Happened One Night", the hero and heroine returned to the inn again. The walls of Jericho came down, the lights went out, and we laughed heartily.
At the end of "Roman Holiday", the princess retreated to the palace, the crowd dispersed, and only the reporter was left in the hall. He put his hands in his pockets and, step by step, walked out of his dream with the princess. The clear footsteps echoed in the empty hall, like footsteps in an empty valley.
------
Some say it would be more popular than "Roman Holiday" if the "It Happened One Night" actress had the beauty of Audrey Hepburn in "Roman Holiday". Maybe so. The heroine of "It Happened One Night" is not amazing enough.
However, I like Clark Gable in "It Happened One Night" more than Gregory Peck in "Roman Holiday".
Pike is good, he's tall, handsome, very upright, that kind of sunny, upright, suave handsome. And Gable was ruffian, bad, with a sly light in his eyes.
So Gable also played the "complex" man Reid Brad in "Gone with the Wind". Parker also played the refined and refined mental patient in "Dr. Edward".
