I just wanted to take another look at you

Watched it twice. I feel a little bored when I see it in the middle. The interspersed musicals, as well as the lines of the whole film, make people feel very typical Hollywood haha.

Personally, I feel that the whole film is relatively flat. But I have a question, that pianist Danny (it seems to be called this), isn't he a pair with Esther? Why did they say goodbye as soon as the male protagonist appeared, and the emotional line changed a bit quickly. Does the heroine like the male protagonist very much from the beginning (the "like" of the love between men and women), or do they like it after they slowly contact and get along with each other. Then broke up with Danny because the two people's path choices were different. A blind analysis. . .

The male protagonist's "I just wanted to take another look at you" twice is too poking, ah ah ah wsl. The second time, I just wanted to take another look at you. After I finished speaking, I was looking forward to the twists and turns of another village, but no, he still died.

The ending climax, I love it.

    It's been a long time since I saw a long movie with an intermission. A very typical Classical Hollywood Cinema, the gorgeous costumes and props and the tone of singing and dancing pursued by musical films are all there, and then it is a sad love tragedy, an ordinary girl becomes a star but loses the person she loves, and finally 's lines are heartbreaking.

    The best version of the legend is the birth of a star, but overall it feels similar to the 18 version, but it is indeed better than the 37 version. The whole story is more logical than the 37 version because of the longer time, but the problem of this film is just the opposite of the 18 version. The 18 version is too focused on the fall of stars, this version is too focused on the birth of stars, for Zhu Digalang added a lot of meaningless singing and dancing, making the film too long and making the whole film's singing and dancing part too long. The script of this film is actually not bad, but the story has been read too much, and the ending is handled very well. It can be seen that the 18th version borrowed many scenes and shots from this version. Judy Garland is the core of the film, and it is definitely a performance worthy of a posthumous title. Unfortunately, she failed to win the Oscar like the film in reality. Gaga is much luckier than her. James Mason's performance is also not lacking in bright spots, but the whole movie has too few scenes for him, and the shots are basically concentrated on Garland's side, which makes his performance not particularly great.

    [Esther looks confused]

    Norman Maine: Well, do you like prizefi--have you ever watched a great fighter?

    Esther Blodgett: I-I uh--

    Norman Maine: I'm trying to tell you how you sing.

    Esther Blodgett: Do you mean like a prizefighter or a fish?

    Norman Maine: Look...em--

    [leads her into a kitchen]

    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?

    [Esther still looks confused]

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

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

  • Judge George J. Barnes: Were you Norman Maine the actor?

    Norman Maine: Yes.
