"Philadelphia Story", shot in 1949, is a very interesting story. The artistic technique of the film is very unique, and the views of several main characters on the heroine Tracy and the dialogue with her are very interesting. Tracy's ex-husband Hafen said that she is strong and does not allow vulnerability, but does not understand others and does not understand the fragility of human nature; popular novel writer Mike said that Tracy is like a queen, a person of flesh and blood, full of vitality, tenderness and warmth; and Tracy George, who is about to marry him, thinks that Tracy is cold, noble, and looks like a goddess; Tracy's father, who knows his daughter well enough, says that Tracy is too self-inflated and lacks a caring heart, like a bronze elephant. And Tracy knew that deep down she just wanted to be loved, not worshipped. These interesting details not only describe the quality and character of these characters, but also make a necessary and sufficient foreshadowing for the future development of the storyline. The funniest scene in the film is that Trish was so excited at the party, drinking with Mike until he got drunk, and went to his own swimming pool. Haven guessed that Tracey and Mike went to the pool together and got into the water, so he persuaded George to go back to his place. When it was late at night, when the drunk Mike hugged the also drunk Tracy back to the house, Hafen, who was at the door, smiled knowingly, but George was very angry. When George was about to beat Mike after Tracy entered the house, Hafen took the lead and beat Mike to the ground, and said to Mike with a smile that because he couldn't beat George, he had to shoot first. This scene was all seen by Tracy's sister upstairs, a naive little girl in her teens, and the next morning, she would definitely publicize everything she saw, and the result would inevitably lead to that Interesting ending. The film is like this, interesting stories, humorous jokes, and praises the sincerity, generosity and vitality of human nature. And if these excellent personalities can be added with humor, it will be even more perfect.

    There are really many lines. I really hope that Trish and Xiaobian are together. But I still guessed wrong. Katherine Hepburn's unforgettable beauty and talent have never been surpassed

    3.5. It seems to express a lot of things, the rich and the poor, ideals and reality, the invasion of privacy by journalists, feminism, etc., but it feels superficial. The core should still be to explore what is true love. In this film, Katherine Hepburn is dealing with three men. She experienced a test before marriage, which is not only a test of her true inner feelings, but also a test of how she recognizes herself. Old love, fiancé, soulmate, her fiancé regards her as a goddess that she can only look up to, Stewart thinks she is a noble queen, only her most hated ex-husband sees her most thoroughly, so the ending seems a bit vulgar and conservative, but From the point of view of the plot, this is better than Hepburn and Stewart coming together. The quirky little girl is very interesting, and the little actor has a lot of spirit.
