I noticed that such an unpopular movie stems from the fact that the male lead is my favorite actor (the second in film history in the world is Robert De Niro).
It has always been thought that James Stewart is better than the greasy Gary Grant, so he always feels resentful for Hitchcock's abandonment in "Northwest" after "Victoria". In all fairness, although Stewart is a bit old-fashioned, he is more intimate. Of course, the most important thing is that the quality of his works crushes many Hollywood stars.
As far as "Harvey" is concerned, it is surprising that an unremarkable small production can reach such a level.
At the beginning of the film directly enters the main body, the first half of the film has been along the line of comedy, and there is always no shortage of sudden and joyous lines, whether it is the handsome judge’s assistant’s handsome shit skating or the American humor and strange encounters of the hero’s sister. All fully demonstrated the style of this movie, which is also the old tradition of American comedy.
"Is he alone?" (Is he alone?)
"There's two schools of thought, sir." (It depends on how you think.)
It seems that the people around you are still very welcome to the male lead (after all, the person is good). After Charlie's dance, the film has truly demonstrated its core. At this time, doctors and beautiful nurses gradually opened their hearts to each other under the influence of the male protagonist, and the protagonist, the catalyst, also received preferential treatment, thus forming the film. A buffer before orgasm (warm love always keeps my eyes moist). After that, the old-hearted dean was brainwashed by the male protagonist. With a dream, he began to accept the male protagonist. The driver's complaint and the sister's wallet are even more magical. This is very well done. It is in line with the character's personality and at the same time it is thought-provoking. This series of set off and contrast, powerful but not explicit irony and a bit of comedic effect. I am puzzled. Why does the ending without much conflict touch me so much. The performance of the driver and sister is in place? The emotional effect of the transition is outstanding? No matter what, the skill of the director and actors are very high. Few Chinese films touched me with such plain scenes. Now I only remember "Yi Yi" directed by Yang Dechang.
In the film Harvey brings positive things, and the last group of people are also infected, just like the male protagonist's consistent concept of good people, which makes people very warm (Stewart should have created a lot of this kind of image). In this way, Harvey should be a kind of inner good wish and hope for life. Judging from the idea of the doctor with a beautiful dream, this big white rabbit should be a beautiful dream. A higher level is an ideal. The beautiful ideal that leads people to good. PS. Apart from being moved, I am also very interested. The United States must also have superstar courtesy and protagonist halo. Stuart may be the most dazzling star among them. This can be seen from the role played by the doctors and nurses in the film. The eyes of admiration are already naked, and it's even more obvious in "It's a Wonderful Life".
