Commemorating Yugu Taylor

The day after Elizabeth Taylor passed away, I suddenly wanted to relive her movies. The first thing I think of is the 12-year-old innocent girl in "Jane Eyre"; then the classic "Cat on the Tin Roof". I don’t even remember how old I was to watch this movie, or it was dubbed in Chinese. I had a strong urge to download it online, and I actually saw the dubbed version in Chinese on Tudou.com.

We like classics because they will not change with time. Lies, human nature, greed, marriage, love, father and son, reality. . . "The reality is cruel. It's you paying, it's sex with a woman you don't love, it's pain..." "I have the courage to die, do you have the courage to live?" There are many classic dialogues in the film, and I really want to Looking at the original English version, the dubbing of early movies is actually very good. Some old Chinese artists are very good, but now people are very impetuous. Of course, the film sometimes feels obscure, because the original book has homosexuality, which was still a taboo topic in the United States in the 1940s. Therefore, the conflict between husband and wife in the film cannot be simply attributed to the suspicion of the wife and the friend having an affair, and the wife pleases her husband. . The deeper human nature, depression and understanding of love are actually hidden.

The actors are also very classic. Paul Newman is very handsome, and his melancholy eyes are the soul of Brick; Taylor is exquisite and clear, even when she was watching michael jackson in 1997, she was still so graceful when she was in her 60s.

A person can have a lot in his life, but he will lose it in the end. We will all have the end of life, just like Taylor. Perhaps the only thing we can leave to the world is this kind of memory, such a classic, she is gone, in fact, it is still living in our memory, living in the silver screen.

This may be eternal.

And my eternity is these words.

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.
