The origin of "Shangri-la". It's a beautiful, concise, and clean movie. I haven't read the original, but the characters in the film are already perfect, and the character of the characters fits well with the tension of the plot. Although the film There is a difference between Chinese culture and the characteristics of Tibetan areas, but it seems to be a trivial matter in the whole film. Everyone is intensively searching for the Shangri-la in their hearts. This film is based on the original work, This original work is the Westerner's "Peach Blossom Spring"-"Lost Horizon". The original work and the film have many influences on later generations, and today the relationship between Europe and Tibet began with this masterpiece. 
Without the sorrows and joys of small people, without the label of the American Dream, without coincidences, without speeches, and without elements of comedy, it is really not Capra. However, the film still conveys a lot of his usual thoughts, such as tired of the flashy world, longing for pure environment, equality and peace between people, criticism of money, greed, desire, and struggle, etc., although in future works They all have different degrees of manifestation, but none of them "speak" so bluntly. It's just that this kind of film with obvious morality is a bit boring. It's called the "main theme" here, and it's a bit too much to watch. Although there are only male protagonists in the film lineup that I can name, all the male actors are familiar faces, and several of them have appeared in Capra's films many times. They are considered to be the Queen's team. They are also featured in some well-known films. They are the golden supporting roles commonly used by the big directors of that era, and each of them has played a role that is quite joyful, but I really hope that this lineup will not be released from this film.

Lost Horizon quotes

  • Lord Gainsford: Yes. Yes, I believe it. I believe it, because I want to believe it.

  • Robert Conway: [On the plane, having been evacuated] Hello, Freshie. Did you make that report out yet?

    George Conway: Yes, Bob.

    Robert Conway: Did you say we saved 90 white people?

    George Conway: Yes.

    Robert Conway: Good. Hooray for us. Did you say we left 10,000 natives down there to be annihilated? No... No, you wouldn't say that. They don't count.

    George Conway: You better try to get some sleep, Bob.

    Robert Conway: Just you wait till I'm Foreign Secretary. Ha ha... Can't you just see me, Freshie, with all those other shrewd little Foreign Secretaries? You see, the trick is, to see who can out-talk the other. Everybody wants something for nothing. If you can't get it with smooth talk, you... send your army in. But I'm going to fool them, Freshie. I'm not going to have an army. I'm going to disband mine. I'm going to sink my battleships. I'm going to destroy every piece of war craft. Then, when the enemy approaches, we'll say, "Come in, gentlemen! What can we do for you?" So then the poor enemy soldiers will stop and think. And what will they think, Freshie? They'll say to themselves, "There's something wrong here, we've been duped! This is not according to form. These people seem quite friendly, and why should we shoot them?" Then they'll lay down their arms. You see how simple the whole thing is? Ha! Centuries of tradition kicked right in the pants. Ha ha... and I'll be slapped straight into the nearest insane asylum.

    George Conway: You'd better not drink any more, Bob. You're not talking sense.

    Robert Conway: Don't worry, George. Nothing's going to happen. I'll fall right into line... I'll be the good little boy that everybody wants me to be. I'll be the best little Foreign Secretary that we've ever had. Just because I haven't the nerve... to be anything else.

    George Conway: Do try to sleep, Bob.

    Robert Conway: Sleep, yes. Good thing, sleep. Ever notice the sunrise in China, George? Ah, you should... it's beautiful.
