The last third a bit of a let-down but other than that Sirk shows most eloquently here that there is no inherent boundary between the melodramatic and the most human. The party scene is a textbook case in how to do maliciousness without turning into contrived parodies...

Female sexual repression, shackles of family space (generation of anxiety and unease), social criticism of small town gossip and moral dogma (social reflection/contradiction exposure in the 50s). The bright colors and anti-natural lighting (expressionist) are stunning, the multiple references to mirrors in the interior ("excess reflectors/frames"), and the TV as a mirror all suggest physical/spiritual limitations. An idealized romantic ending leaves regrets, and heaven is...

1. Marriage is still a good match, otherwise it will be easy to drink. Of course, the ending of the movie is good. 2. Tell us to work hard to live in big cities. People in small places like to point fingers and spread rumors about other people's...

The three editions of 2020.8.12-2022.3.20 are all addressing prejudice, inequality of class identities, family responsibilities, and worldly vision. Two contrasting tones of warm light and cool blue are used throughout. The storytelling template with light, with the plot development and character concept, finally completes self-reconciliation in the open...

A love that transcends the age gap and the waste of time, probably referring to the Douglas Sirke movie. A melodrama that had a major influence on both Fassbender and Wong Kar-wai. I've watched it quite a few times....

Just so you know I rarely give out one stars...it's not that the film itself is so unbelivable and horribly made in any sense--the melodramatic fashion was actually intended so. But to me I simply hate clichés too much to have any appreciation for anything else in the...

Everything that heaven allows
If it weren't for the director's interview in the sidebar attached to the DVD, I really didn't know that Douglas Sirk was originally a German, and not a typical Hollywood director. I am always in awe of most classic works before the arrival of the new wave, but I have no interest in appreciating...

It's an injustice for women! Not "flat chest"
For girls, watching American dramas and Korean dramas on mobile phones or computers is a pastime in the current Internet age, but it is also watching TV dramas in the United States in the 1950s with a different player-TV. There may be another kind of symbol-the lonely housewife kills time and kills...

[Howard passionately but forcefully kisses Cary, she pushes him away]
Howard Hoffer: I'm sorry Cary. I don't know what got into me. I know you're not like that. I apologize for what I said.
Cary Scott: That's all right, Howard.
Howard Hoffer: But I don't apologize for wanting you.
