This is a hilarious comedy with a strong Hollywood style: handsome men and beautiful women, friendship, love, gangsters, police, misunderstandings, true feelings, romantic and gorgeous seaside scenery, and beautiful music and dance. This is a movie ahead of its time.
Like smoke, mysterious and endowed with changing characters.
Fiery Joe. A Chicago orchestra player, saxophone player, poor and down-to-earth, "likes to think with his head." At first Joe was a playboy who was good at deceiving and teasing women. ; In order to achieve his goals, he does not hesitate to wrong his friends, let his friends lie for him, and make appointments with big money. But in the end, he fell into deep affection, and was willing to give away the precious jewelry that could save his life, just to say goodbye; parting to kiss his beloved woman, he did not hesitate to put himself and his friends in danger; after escaping from the tiger's mouth, he opened his mask and sincerely I sincerely apologize and hope that my sweetheart can find the love she hopes again. He went from being selfish to being responsible, willing to sacrifice himself to get the truth of love. Joe's courage to strive for his own happiness is admirable, and he is also very quick-witted and good at using skills and means flexibly. Although Joe appears more as a male in the film, especially when he pretends to be the heir of Shell Oil, he is actually On the film, the feminine tentacles have spread into his temperament, but the more subtle parts in the film are almost only the minutiae: the first time when I pretended to be oil Xiaokai, I put my hands on my knees, put my legs together and pursed my lips. Sitting; forgetting to take off earrings on a date in men's clothing; one of the most impressive shots is of him kissing sweetheart in women's clothing as he is about to say goodbye to escape for his life.
Jerry like water. A bass player who "likes to think with his stomach". He is a person who is easy to be happy, gentle and generous, content with the world and contentment: Sweetheart asked him how much wine was in the bottle, and he said it was "half full"; when Joe deliberately changed into men's clothes and wore glasses Watching the Wall Street Journal, Jerry was laughing at the beach with the girls; he was taken advantage of, danced all night in high heels, and came back humming, overjoyed to accept the proposal win. The characters are cute and humorous. Although he has been in a state of deception, at the last moment, out of conscience, Jerry sincerely explained the truth to Osgu and took responsibility for his wrong words and deeds, even though the other party had already accepted him unconditionally.
Jerry's impression of the audience from beginning to end is that of a female character who lacks action, which is in contrast to Joe. Jerry is always complaining and making various suggestions, but it is always Joe who makes the final decision: Joe wants to bet on the dog, he complains, and in the end Joe takes the coat to bet on the dog; Jerry is chattering trying to convince Joe to disguise himself as a woman To apply for the job, although Jerry was very dissatisfied with the other job Joe found, he still just found reasons to persuade Joe and had no plans of his own; the two witnessed the murder, and Joe immediately decided to disguise himself as a woman to join the women's band without any delay. Take action now. Jerry was always led by Joe, as if he had no ability to move, but only spoke with his mouth. His ideas are forever stuck in his head and have not been turned into reality.
In the film, Jerry's female tendencies are actually revealed from the very beginning: First of all, his interest in women is pure, not erotic. He contrasts women with sweet food: Jerry exclaims as soon as he gets into the train and sees a train full of women: "When I was a kid, my dream was to be locked up in a bakery for a night, and Jelly, mocha, Boston cream pie, and cherry pancakes together." He sees women with innocent interest rather than desire.
Second, Jerry is portrayed as a feminine character, and he is interested in cross-dressing and enjoys it. In terms of character, on the one hand, he was very secure-seeking, and fought against Joe's betting on dogs, on the other hand, he was very vulnerable, terrified, hungry, and cold, and had fevers and colds without a coat. He also doesn't have lover-like relationships with women, which is the opposite of Joe who is a playboy and a sexy man. In addition, Jerry's character did not reject cross-dressing from the very beginning. In the employment agency, he encouraged Joe to disguise himself as a woman to go to Florida with him, and changed his name from "Julette" to "Just before getting on the train." Daphne" because the name "Daphne" sounds better. After getting on the train, when the female conductor of the band warned the girls not to touch alcohol and men, he shrieked out the bad behavior of men. His self-gender confusion has continued to heat up since then: on the beach, when Monroe points out his small breasts, he looks angry and frustrated; when Joe asks Daphne to pay attention to her manners, the latter is encouraged Self-hypnosis, so much so that Josephine needs to be solemnly reminded of his masculinity after the engagement. He had to automatically start a self-examination exercise under Joe's lead to warn himself; in the hotel, when Joe asked him if the chain Osgu had sent was a real diamond, he naturally called him his fiancé.
Sweet as honey. A kind and simple band girl, a wealthy gentleman who likes to wear glasses and read lengthy special issues in the newspaper, longing not to be deceived, and longing for a sense of security. She has a plump figure, a beautiful face, and blond hair. Her tone of voice, facial expressions, body movements, and every word and deed reveal a bone-eroding style and sweet sensuality, which is captivating. Monroe is sexy and beautiful, which is her advantage, but it does not mean that she is a vase. The drunkenness on the train, the sadness after the man left, and the sad solo at the end of the credits are all very convincing. The naive and simple woman she plays is real and vivid, brave to pursue love, and even desperate for love: after knowing Joe's true identity, she chose to go to the end of the world without hesitation.
Like a joke, wrong and appropriate identity position.
"In a male world where the strong eat the weak, the male 'hero' character has to give up his original gender identity in order to survive." To be a man in "Passionate Like Fire" means either being killed or desperately running away. As a result, there are various cognitive impairments when the poor performers force themselves into female roles: the way of walking, the tolerance of cold, the tone of communication with people, and all kinds of sexual harassment.
But in the possibility of cross-dressing, the choreographer dug two completely different directions - Joe was able to freely switch genders; Jerry was caught in the labyrinth of identity, indulging in it and unable to extricate himself. Although Joe has been disguised as a woman, he has always insisted on his male identity: quickly changing back to men's clothes on the beach, pretending to be a millionaire to attract the attention of sweethearts, and finally returning as a "hero" with a beauty; From the beginning of the male identity to the female self-identity, he and the big-mouthed rich man had a Cinderella encounter, and the relationship between the two was inexplicably established. To help Joe and Sweetheart's romance, Jerry promises a date with Osgu and dances the tango all night. When Joe came back the next day, Jerry was lying on the bed rocking a sand stick and announcing his engagement, as if he had become a woman through and through. At first, when Jerry put on women's clothes and high heels, he complained all the time, but by the end of the film, he was able to run fast in high heels.
About sweetheart's home. Joe and Jerry have an equal chance until they meet Sweetheart at the train station, and they always share a point of view throughout the film. After disguising, Sweetheart developed a close relationship with both Jerry and Joe, and she was clearly more grateful to Jerry for helping her out. The incident of Jerry covering the bottle for Sweetheart caused the two to make eye contact for the first time. This time, Joe didn't appear. Sweetheart ran to Jerry's bed in the middle of the night and warmed his feet while Joe was sound asleep. I've almost decided that the director is going to put Sweetheart with Jerry in the end. But the end result was quite the opposite.
When Sweetheart invited Jerry and Joe to play at the beach in a swimsuit, Jerry was as elated as a satyr and agreed, without a strategic vision, Rui touched Sweetheart in the sea, pretending that he learned it in the elevator, just Just want to take advantage of sweethearts.
Instead, Qiao refused Sweetheart's invitation, and pretended to be a rich second generation with a more important goal to attract her. Rather than being seduced by superficial intimacy and easy access, Joe hits the subject. He always has a sense of distance, which is in stark contrast to Jerry. Jerry does not hesitate to pretend to be a woman to gain intimacy with his sweetheart. Joe is doing the opposite, constantly using ambiguity to capture sweethearts.
Joe is chasing after love. Except for the wine bottle incident, Jerry bravely stood up and took the blame for Sweetheart, and never took any action against her after that. Sweetheart ran to his bed, he was elated; invited him to the beach, he was elated, just passively waiting for the pie to fall from the sky. For such a passive and feminine role, the director has already hinted that he will eventually assume the function of another "female" and be pursued by the rich man.
Like fire, passionate lies and splendid truths are interdependent in the sparks beating among the characters.
Joe hopes to gamble for a living, but they lose their coats and everything; they hope to escape the thugs in Chicago, but their troubles are found in Florida; Sweetheart dreams of marrying a millionaire with glasses and a yacht, but She falls in love with a poor musician; Osgood is a real millionaire, and the Daphne he loves is a man. Destiny is always a joke in a falsehood.
Fake times, fake identities. The hearse is driving on the street, and the coffin is full of smuggled alcohol; the people attending the funeral wear black armbands and open the door. Falsetto; golf bags filled with machinery; birthday cake popped out of a killer with a gun; Chicago gang boss had a pair of women's pumps, and he needed a foot massage in his spare time. Prosthetic limbs; the gangster in the United States wears a huge hearing aid, which not only has headphones, but also has a square box hanging on his chest to help with radio, and his ears are just decorations.
Everyone runs the train with their mouths full, whenever they need to. Joe and Jerry went to music academy and played in a symphony band for three years, but they didn't have enough food to run around. Sweetheart Hypothesis's father is a bandleader in Ohio, who also claims to have attended music school in front of the rich. Qiao puts on sailing clothes and black-rimmed glasses, she is Shell II, has a trolleybus at home, and has three yachts at sea; she casually made up her heartbreak and indifference due to her past love experience, so she kissed her sweetheart and took the initiative to play the role of a doctor.
The names are also fake. Joe, he's the desperate saxophonist, he's transformed into a close friend Josephine, and he's Honey's dream lover Shell II.
The whole movie, from beginning to end, runs through the "lie". But in the end, the fake millionaire won the sweetheart's heart, and the fake woman also caught the real golden tortoise husband. At the moment when the two "fakes" took off their wigs, they both got the other's understanding.
There are lovers leaning on each other, which is the relief of true love.
