So in that order, "Roman Holiday", "Sabrina", "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "My Fair Lady" came out in Hepburn at 24, 25, 32, and 36, respectively.
Hepburn's acting skills have yet to be verified, but when she was 36, she still looked 24 years old, which is really admirable. The image of this flower girl doesn't suit her at all, and she can't act that kind of poverty and lack of realism, maybe because she is born to be a noble pretender, just like her own real family, right?
There is a certain kind of actor that is really like this, and nothing can be inspired from her potential, because such actors can't act, but they have a particularly convincing face, and they don't need to say anything more when they are placed there, they feel immediately. Here it comes, this kind of actor needs the bold adoption of a good director, a script that completely fits his temperament, and a company with commercial confidence to distribute. Hepburn is in line, becoming the darling of God, the object of all attention.
"Roman Holiday" William Wyler
"Sabrina" Billy Wilder
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" Blake Edwards
"My Fair Lady" George Cukor
"Roman Holiday" was pushed as a classic, especially the last scene, a long shot that lasted for N minutes without switching, was almost always brought out as a demonstration when learning long shots. I don't have any feelings for this movie, except that Hepburn is very princess-like in it, nothing at all. The sensation at that time was due to the great changes of the times, and the hierarchical system was gradually weakening, and it was only on the surface, but in the eyes of the people at that time, it was also a thing worthy of praise, and this film came into being. Said to fit the theme of the times, it gave people hope and the screenwriter made up new ideas.
Is there any other meaning?
"My Fair Lady" leaves me speechless. I like Hepburn very much, but I still give it 2 stars. Check the time. This time is 1961. It has been a long time since the film was born and developed. Wilder In the 54 film, I knew that people's emotions were expressed by close-up shots, but Cukor still used the tracking method of musical dramas to switch between medium and long shots. At the end, my mind was blank, and every character was It's a blurry face that makes no sense at all. The dialogue between the characters has become the only pillar and clue of the whole film, and there is nothing new and more procrastination. This film was rated as one of the top 10 best song and dance movies in the United States, and the review made me collapse.
Maybe it's just to console the difficulty of making a 3-hour movie?
"Sabrina" is Wilder's film, one of my favorite American screenwriters. "Watching the Movie" once introduced his topic in great detail. This great man who couldn't talk to the director later decided to start directing himself. After watching this movie, I think that the story line is still very simple, nothing more than a Cinderella story, but the wonderful lines, very tight editing, and very inspirational lens changes, this is 1961, not the 21st century, this is just A United States is still in a pioneering era. Who does Wilder pay tribute to with this film?
In any case, he won the attention of future generations of filmmakers, thanked those heroic defenders of the film, and used his own hand and pen to create a bloody but beautiful road. Wilder has a bad temper, but he put all his Feelings are integrated into this career that he has struggled for all his life. I admire.
Forever Billy Wilder
