Golden age, golden girl

The most comfortable thing is to watch a black-and-white movie on a holiday afternoon when there is nothing to do. There are even more luxurious mansions inside, beautiful like jade.

The 1940s and 1950s were the golden age of Hollywood. The beauties back then were different from now. They will wear wide skirts that stretch below the knees, have the most attractive breasts and slender waists and long legs, and they will sing the life of roses and the moon river in a slow and deep voice. They have such stubborn, thick eyebrows and big bright eyes, flashing eternally in the black and white film and the long river of history. They are the real golden girls.

This film can't help but remind me of Clark Gable's "A Night in the Air". I will never tire of the story of a poor boy catching up with a rich girl and a sparrow becoming a phoenix. The plot of the movie half a century ago is so simple and clear, it seems to be a Cinderella fairy tale with jokes and humor inserted and chopped off. Love turned out to be so simple that it blossomed, and it was simply fruitful, wrapped in the smoke of the cigar and the packaging of Givenchy's clothes.

Not long ago, I finally learned about Givenchy's real French pronunciation, ji vong she, with beautiful phonology and sonorous charm.

But now we always ask, why can a poor girl in a Korean drama run around carrying a Prada bag? Why does Carrie Bradshaw write a column for $1.25 but can live a life of night and night with 400 pairs of Manolo Blahnik shoes? Why do you always feel that he loves her and she doesn't love him or something like reasons are never sufficient?

Have we become reality? Vivien Leigh with a 17-inch waist, Grace Kelly who became the princess, Marilyn Monroe in a white dress standing in the subway vents, those beauties died one by one and became legends that only stayed on the screen. We will never see real love stories, dialogues that really exist for flirting, real masculine gentlemen and beautiful girls who fall in love with them. Teach people upset.

It is not that we have become reality, but that time has passed. That golden age and those golden girls can only exist in distant memories.

    Do not mention the dialogues of the beaded words, do not mention the supporting performances (such as the two old French chefs, the elegant baron-one time to grab the show), do not mention Hepburn only took three beautiful clothes in Saint Laurent, do not mention the fast-paced scheduling It’s suitable for editing, not to mention the affectionate and lively music of Rose Life, just look at the girl’s eyes and Mr. Bogart’s eyes. If Mrs. Bogart is not staring at him, the princess’s eyes will melt the eldest brother, and the eldest brother’s pair can be praised. Miss Man is heartbroken, not to mention, the icy lines can't conceal the scorching eyes, no wonder that William is obsessed with Miss Hepburn, but he is doomed, in and out of the play, he is destined to be defeated, you see many games calmly and unhurriedly arrange a variety of things to do The calm and capable, what is a big brother, what is a man, it is more contrasting that no matter how strong a man will be defeated in the face of love... Peerless romance is not in the beautiful clothes, but in that feeling. Early Watched on TV, watched the big screen last night, more details are more moving...

    Although the idol drama in 1954 has been heavily masked, many things have been evolved and borrowed from the current drama. The aura of the old movie is full of fashion, and it is a textbook-level movie. The story of love is always single, but no matter how it is told, it is still enjoyable to hear. It is not only the two people who are immersed in love who enjoy each other, but also the people who tell them and listen to them with relish. This is the charm of love

Sabrina quotes

  • [first lines]

    Sabrina Fairchild: [voiceover] Once upon a time, on the north shore of Long Island, some thirty miles from New York, there lived a small girl on a large estate. The estate was very large indeed, and had many servants. There were gardeners to take care of the gardens, and a tree surgeon on a retainer. There was a boatman to take care of the boats: to put them in the water in the spring, and scrape their bottoms in the winter. There were specialists to take care of the grounds: the outdoor tennis court and the indoor tennis court, the outdoor swimming pool and the indoor swimming pool. And there was a man of no particular title who took care of the small pool in the garden for a goldfish named George. Also on the estate there was a chauffeur by the name of Fairchild who had been imported from England years ago together with a new Rolls-Royce. Fairchild was a fine chauffeur of considerable polish, like the eight cars in his care, and he had a daughter by the name of Sabrina. It was the eve of the annual six-meter yacht races, and as had been traditional on Long Island for the past thirty years, the Larrabees were giving a party. It never rained on the night of the Larrabee party. The Larrabees wouldn't have stood for it. There were four Larrabees in all - father, mother, and two sons. Maude and Oliver Larrabee were married in nineteen hundred and six, and among their many wedding presents was the town house in New York and this estate for weekends. The town house has since been converted into Saks Fifth Avenue. Linus Larrabee, the elder son, graduated from Yale, where his classmates voted him The Man Most Likely To Leave His Alma Mater Fifty Million Dollars. His brother, David, went through several of the best eastern colleges for short periods of time, and through several marriages for even shorter periods of time. He is now a successful six-goal polo player and is listed on Linus's tax return as a six hundred dollar deduction. Life was pleasant among the Larrabees, for this was as close to heaven as one could get on Long Island.

  • Linus Larrabee: Why're you looking at me that way?

    Sabrina Fairchild: All night long I've had the most terrible impulse to do something.

    Linus Larrabee: Oh, never resist an impulse, Sabrina, especially if it's terrible.

    Sabrina Fairchild: I'm gonna do it.

    [reaching out and turning down the brim of Linus' Homburg]

    Sabrina Fairchild: There!

    Linus Larrabee: What's that for?

    Sabrina Fairchild: We can't have you walking up and down the Champs Elysees looking like a tourist undertaker! Another thing, never a briefcase in Paris and never an umbrella. There's a law.

    Linus Larrabee: How am I ever going to get along in Paris without someone like you? Who'll be there to help me with my French, to turn down the brim of my hat?

    Sabrina Fairchild: Suppose you meet someone on the boat the very first day out? A perfect stranger.

    Linus Larrabee: I have a better suppose, Sabrina. Suppose I were ten years younger. Suppose you weren't in love with David. Suppose I asked you to... I suppose I'm just talking nonsense.

    Sabrina Fairchild: I suppose so.

    Linus Larrabee: Suppose you sing that song again. Slowly.
