The history of the Democratic wife's influence on the Republican husband

It's a waste of a Western epic if you're just thinking of James Dean's final film as James Dean's last film in memory of a teenage icon who died young: 10 Oscar nominations on full display (the year's most-nominated film) .But there were too many good films that year, and the awards were too scattered, so the film finally won only one - George Stevens' second best director award), and the 40 million box office highlights its popularity (maintaining Warner Bros.' box office record until "Superman" 20 years later), 95% of Rotten Tomatoes confirms its reputation, and its inclusion in the National Film Registry affirms its historical status... But I would like to like the original book more here. This is another best-selling novel by female author Edna Ferber, which tells the story of the struggle of Texas farmers in the first half of the last century, especially the confrontation between the new oil tycoon and the traditional livestock industry. But from today’s perspective, it’s more like a value propaganda film where a Democratic wife (Taylor) from a blue state gradually influences a Republican husband (Hudson) from a red state over decades. Family honor, industriousness, piety tradition, various (etc.) divisions (levels) and their (sub) positions (clearly), these American conservatives cherish and abide by the creeds, in the equality of men and women, racial equality, openness and tolerance, respect for individual freedom In the face of ism had to give way.

    It is recommended that the politically correct American emperors take a look at this work, conveying the voice of women and Mexicans. It should be shot like this, and should not be deceived, aftermath, and tampering with history! From the beginning of love and marriage, the slow change of the times leads to the western background, focusing on issues such as race, rich and poor, intergenerational, gender and so on. Although the middle section is a bit boring, I can't find the point. The slow influence and change of the female protagonist on the male protagonist and his environment, the first identification of the female protagonist with the male protagonist is actually the old one, and the male protagonist "overcame his own prejudice and desire for control". The female image is excellently displayed, and Elizabeth Taylor shows her acting skills in this film.

    You never know how far James Dean would have gone had he not left us a dominant image of youth idol.

    Dr. Horace Lynnton: [they pull up to the Lynnton estate and stop as horses jump over the fence in front of them] There he is, there's the stallion. That's War Winds.

    Bick Benedict: Beautiful.

    Dr. Horace Lynnton: That's my daughter riding him, Leslie.

    Dr. Horace Lynnton: Leslie's my daughter. She's riding him.

    Bick Benedict: [slyly referring to Leslie instead of the stallion] Doctor, that sure is a beautiful animal.

    Dr. Horace Lynnton: Yes she, well we'll get to the hoses first thing in the morning. Right now you're coming up to the house and get ready for dinner.
