Black and white films should be American films of the 1920s and 1930s. Now it seems that they are really classic, so that black and white films seem to be the representative of classics. Of course, there are also bad black and white films, and we can't be fooled by this illusion.
In today's commercial films, it feels like dazzling stunts, that is, sensory stimulation. In that era of black and white films, what dazzled was not stunts, but acting, language, and stories. It was really great!
When I watch "Passion Like Fire", every picture, every line, every expression of the actor, including some small details that are not noticed, will smile knowingly when you notice it. This kind of feeling is a very comfortable feeling in your heart. You will feel the humor and seriousness of the people of that era, and there is a taste that is connected with your heart. This kind of spiritual connection is a rare feeling when we appreciate literary and artistic works, and it is also a realm that we have been pursuing in communicating with the world.
Writing such a film review should be free, because such an old film is not afraid of spoilers.
At the beginning of the film, the background of the times is explained. At that time, alcohol was banned in the United States. Therefore, selling alcohol in private, or selling alcohol on the black market, has become a very profitable industry. Of course gangsters will not let this industry go. So, by putting the wine in the coffin, the bar is turned into a funeral party for those who love to drink. Of course, there is no shortage of singing and dancing performances in the bar, so the two protagonists were brought out, which is very natural.
Many details in this are simply beyond words. There was a coffin in the car. The audience thought it was a serious funeral. The police chased them, and a fire broke out. Later, it was found that the coffin was leaking. At this time, the audience will definitely understand A smile, oh, it's filled with wine!
You need a password to enter the bar, and you need to wear a black hoop on your arm. You can't say wine when you order a drink, but say it's coffee, all kinds of coffee. In fact, it's all wine, and some people are drunk. The comedy factor makes me smile.
The pursuit of the police and the live dance performance in the bar brought out the two male protagonists. A pair of musicians, two destitute fellows, when they were still discussing what to do after the salary was paid, the police broke into the door, and their income was also in vain, so they had to flee in embarrassment.
The story is arranged very well. The two guys went on to look for jobs, and by coincidence, a band that was going to Miami was missing two players, but it was a girl band, which made it possible for them to dress up as women. As a result, the two of them were eyewitnesses and were chased and killed by gangsters in the garage, disguised as women as musicians, and went to Miami, which became a very reasonable plot.
The next story is even more interesting, and the audience must want to know, what will happen to them all the way to California by disguising as a woman?
On the train, they meet the female singer played by the alcoholic Marilyn Monroe. After going back and forth, they and Marilyn Monroe became close friends. Marilyn Monroe dreamed of finding a rich man to marry.
Arriving in Miami, a guy was spotted by a rich man with a big mouth, and another guy, with a deeper scheming, stole a set of men's clothes, pretended to be a rich boy, and seduced Marilyn Monroe.
Yachting, dating, dancing, the storylines are all great. When all goes well, unfortunately, they meet the Chicago gang, the gang recognizes them, and a hunt begins again. Escape, farewell, tears, true love, gangsters caught, truth exposed, lovers snuggle together, happy ending, beautiful ending to the story.
In fact, a wonderful movie is not afraid of spoilers, and no matter how wonderful the text is, it cannot resist the temptation of the movie. The name Marilyn Monroe, her image, her voice, her stature, will draw generations of people to her movies.
