Philadelphia Stories

Watching the [Philadelphia Story], being conquered by the "classic", but willingly.

Finally know that the real classic not only can not be copied, but also the precipitation over time, the more mellow the more fragrant.

Katherine Hepburn's statue-like facial lines are the type preferred by black-and-white images, and with Cary Grant's style and humor, it is itself a classic version of "Dragon and Phoenix".

And ridiculed stories are equally attractive when viewed in the present. The collocation of lines and actors is very typical. Hepburn is bossy, Grant is uninhibited, and all other characters are not inferior to Huacai, which is definitely a unique product of the golden age.

The first time I saw American "classical Chinese" in a movie:

——You want to check He Shu.

- You may have convenience.

- Thank you.

The man who did the translation is definitely a master who cultivates both "inside and outside"! Such a classic deserves such a touch. Recommend him (or her) to translate [Journey to the West].

    Although the cast is very powerful and the film has been highly praised by the academics (in the AFI 100-year-old star, Catherine Hepburn is the first actress, Gary Grant and Stewart are the second and third actor, and this film is also selected as one of the top 100 stars. Big movie), impeccable performance, exquisite lines, but the plot and ending are still not to my appetite, but I recommend it to friends who like Hollywood golden age black and white feature films~ (7.5/10)

    What a young Jimmy Stewart! Almost unrecognizable, it's a completely hilarious character - a part-time writer with a backbone, a full-time poor gossip reporter, a pair of trousers and a breeze (you are too tall and thin!) The story of the n-angle relationship of a rich lady seeking true love... How does it sound like a stick drama? But don't like the ending! Fortunately, Jimmy became the best actor~~ The fifth star is the ending for him as the best actor~~

The Philadelphia Story quotes

  • Seth Lord: What most wives fail to realize is that their husband's philandering has nothing whatever to do with them.

    Tracy Lord: Oh? Then what has it to do with?

    Seth Lord: A reluctance to go grow old, I think.

  • Librarian: What is thee wish?

    Macaulay Connor: I'm looking for some local b - what'd you say?

    Librarian: What is thee wish?

    Macaulay Connor: Um, local biography or history.

    Librarian: If thee will consult with my colleague in there.

    Macaulay Connor: Mm-hm. Dost thou have a washroom?

    [the librarian points]

    Macaulay Connor: Thank thee.
