I newly ordered the "Hitchcock Movie Collection" online, and collected 34 of his movies. Some of them have been watched completely, and some have only been introduced. They are all my favorites.
I watched two movies yesterday, and "Butterfly Dream" gave me a whole new feeling.
The first time I knew about this movie was when I was young when I was reading a little man's book and I remembered the rough black and white paper. I didn't understand too much, but the hideous face of the housekeeper left me with horrified memories. After attending middle school, I read the English abbreviation of "Butterfly Dreams". I remember the first sentence: Last night I dreamed of returning to Mandeley...
This time I revisit this 1940 by the famous Joan Fontaine and Lawrence. .Oliver's interpretation of the classic film, from which he smelled a different breath.
In my memory, the delicate "I" is a kind, innocent, and unfortunate Cinderella. I met Mr. Derwent and fortunately became the hostess of Mandeley Manor. All visions of future life and emotions (this vision is also based on cultural shaping and social indoctrination) Rebbca is just a shadow. She is unruly and constantly hurts Mr. Derwent’s soul. In the end, she takes the blame, gets terminally ill, and is also sunk. Corpse on the bottom of the sea. It seems that she is seeking her own destiny, and it is heinous not to be a virtuous noble wife.
The deepest feelings are the following points:
1. This is a film with the core core of the following films. "Jane Eyre", "Pride and Prejudice", "Sparrow Turns into a Phoenix" are all how Cinderella met Prince Charming. In the film, Mr. Derwent is actually quite rude. Whether it is inviting "me" to have breakfast or pulling "me" for a drive, he can't help but drag him away. His identity and financial resources were fully demonstrated in front of this little woman, including the final marriage proposal, "Are you going to New York with her or back to Mandeli with me?" It seemed that his favor was a reward. In the unequal relationship between two people, "I" naturally needs to be obedient and obedient, otherwise he will change his face, roar or anger at any time. Although wrapped in a rose-colored shell, a closer look reveals the sorrow of a weak woman married into a wealthy family. Mr. Derwent said at the end of the film: "After experiencing this, I will never find the innocent girl who knows nothing." In his mind, the standard wife should be as innocent as a fool. In the world, you don't need to have the slightest understanding of the outside world, as long as you are a beautiful doll with no brain, everything will be fine.
2. Is Rebbca a female devil as described in the film, and is she disappointed in marriage? She loves the romantic and flashy life, and also despises the hypocrisy and ruthlessness among the nobles. In her eyes, Mr. Derwent regards life as the family honor and noble decent worthless, but what does she like? Just fooling around with your cousin? Or go to sea in a boat to find the true freedom of the soul?
3. When "I" just arrived at Mandley Manor and was greeted by a number of servants and servants, and when Mawei was taken down by Mrs. Danfoss, it reminded me of anyone who has just entered a new company. If he/she gets directly High position, the "old" person below will naturally wait and see, want to see his/her fineness, here "I" is a little girl who has never seen anything in the world, and got such a high position all at once-Mrs. Derwent, this TITILE, naturally It is natural for many people below to be dissatisfied, jealous and dissatisfied. It is a pity that Mrs. Danfoss was also wrong. Young and beautiful are enough for the position of aristocratic wife of the large estate.
The acting skills of Joan Fontaine and Lawrence Oliver are superb. Although the pictures are black and white, they are beautiful and unforgettable. I dreamed at night, and it was still images from "Butterfly Dreams".
