The temperament of life is continuous flow

This is the second time I watched this play. When I watched it for the first time, I didn't understand it and fell asleep without watching it.

This time, I was surprised by the temperament of the play. It was very slow and stable. The relationship between the characters was developed completely by dialogue. They were basically indoor scenes, with a lot of close-up close-ups, and the few distant scenes were the conflict between father and son in the rain. This is the characteristic of this show, and its fascinating place.

Watching this play reminded me of another art of language, cross talk. The subject of the discussion is old, the techniques used are also old, even the preaching is old, but it still has its own charm. Its charm lies in that it presents everything perfectly, neat and natural, which makes people feel smooth and continuous, all in one go, like water like blooms.

I won’t mention the truths and contradictions in the play. In family life play, each needs his own understanding. It is meaningless to say it as preaching.

The biggest reward of the movie-watching experience is precisely that this kind of flow makes people think of life itself vividly, and it is worthy of "hot" love.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof quotes

  • Margaret "Maggie" Pollitt: This is a deliberate campaign to ruin Brick!

    Mae Pollitt: He don't need no help.

    Margaret "Maggie" Pollitt: [crying] And for the most sordid reasons on earth! Greed! Avarice and greed!

    Ida 'Big Momma' Pollitt: Margaret, darling, don't cry.

    Mae Pollitt: Well, that takes the cake! Who are the tears for? Brick? Big Daddy? Or are they for yourself? Are you crying cause you're childless? You know why she's got no kids? Ask her big, beautiful husband!

    Gooper Pollitt: Mae!

  • Gooper Pollitt: You said I never loved Big Daddy. How would you know? How would he know? Did he ever let anybody love him? It was always Brick, always. From the day he was born, he was always partial to Brick. Why? Big Daddy wanted me to become a lawyer. I became a lawyer. He said to get married, I got married. He said to have kids, I had kids. He said to live in Memphis, I lived in Memphis. Whatever he said to do, I did.
