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.

    The initial suspense was well set. It's just that at first I thought it was about the relationship between men and women, but then I returned to the family. The big brother's family was so noisy that it bored me and felt real. The male protagonist is also Jake Su, I don't think he has anything worthy of his father's liking. The cat in the hot tin house is a nice metaphor.

    Rewatch. The script is very good, and the editing is also very thoughtful, but the photography is not good enough, which is a pity (I hope Ilya Kazan will make the movie). Paul Newman is really handsome, and Elizabeth Taylor is an absolute stunner, and the two go well together.
