Compared to this film, I like Garbo's performance in Camille more. In Camille, her performance was more natural and attractive. In both of the films, Garbo played the role of a beautiful, lonely, wealthy woman but desperate for love. When the love came, she became healthy and happy. When the love has gone, she ended with tragedy. It might be the trick of Hollywood cinema which presents that if a woman can not achieve man's love, she will live a miserable life.
Greta Garbo's personal story is more interesting. She was born in a poor family of Stockholm. She disappeared from the moviedom when she was 37 years old and lived a cloistered life in New York, which makes her more mysterious. The most interesting point is a famous, beautiful, wealthy woman like her actually very lonely and unhappy. There must be numerous women admiring her, imagining themselves to live a life like her- a luxurious and happy life. "To understand Garbo, you have to understand the north, the north The harshness of the world, the melancholy of the north, you have to understand the wind, the cold, the cold, the rain, and the stormy sky." Good luck makes people, not with beauty, money, status, and the ability to be happy. But at least, she had the chance to be lonely. If she was born in China, living in a dense population, she might not have the problem. This is the so-called "Lonely, so dirty and messy So hot".
