But the appearance of Paul Newman is outstanding. Compared with his later role, especially after the age of 40, the studio temperament of his experiential actor in this period is more prominent, showing a publicly aggressive male temperament. At this point, it looks like Marlon Brando. Let us think of Brando in the period of "Dock Storm", "Speed Car Party" and "Street Car" not only because of Paul's white undershirt and slightly curled head, but also because of the cigarette dangling from his mouth and his wanton eyes. The ambiguity lines that were ahead of that era removed the stage accent, and the strong emotions that broke out from time to time. The experiential performance, especially in the young actors, shows a blatant and sexy posture. However, Paul and Brando's bad boy temperament is obviously different, he is a more classic type. Paul is even more late blooming. The cat on the hot tin roof and this film are considered his famous work, but he was 35 years old at the time. Compared with the four famous Brando who surprised the four famous brands at the age of 27 10 years ago, Paul has experienced more. Hesitating and tempering, he is no longer as arrogant as Brando's sharp edges and corners, and his age also prevents him from playing the youth hormone card more freely. So only two years later when we saw Paul Newman in "Prison Break King Kong", he was already the calm and deep paul newman we are familiar with. "Jiang Hu Boy" is very precious as Paul's hard-to-see experiential sexy performance work.
At the end, I felt that I didn’t fully understand this film. Why did the heroine die? What anxiously caused the hero’s heart. Why was his first failure a problem with the character? (In my opinion, he just lost physical strength superior). I can’t find any good film reviews on the Internet. They are all ambiguities about the male protagonist and can be evaluated in two ways, even some good English websites.
It is really funny that oscar didn't give the Golden Man to Paul this time and waited 25 years later for the same role in "The Color of Money". Because in my opinion, the film is far inferior to the film in terms of performance and the overall breakthrough, depth and richness of the film.
