This one is much stronger than Morocco! The lens language experiment in Morocco has basically matured. Standing behind it is again expressionism. And the most powerful is, of course, Sternberg's deification of Marlene Dudley. What is also unexpected is that this piece is so politically correct that the Chinese (contemporary) author's depersonalization of women is exposed by comparing Anna May Huang's prostitute role with Jinling's 13 o'clock. The story of the ball of suet is still beyond the...

Sternberg's level is very high, in all aspects. The photography/lighting is excellent, how to describe it: night like day, day like night. The lighting was high, but soft, which was a strange feeling; he "controlled" the function and use of the...

Dietrich Anna May is extremely beautiful, and her photography is often brilliant, but the rest is lackluster. The blame is that China is only used as an exotic prop, and the drama of the story is really not strong...

[China in the Eyes of Outsiders] In the early 30s, the photography style of the 20s was maintained. The film used a lot of soft gray tones and moved the mirror slowly to create a charming image of Dietrich. The scene of the train leaving the station is quite exciting, and the relative delay in the introduction of some plots is inevitably boring. ｜The editing method of multiple exposures was continued in Venus in the same year, and was learned by Yuan Muzhi....

The story of a woman in the dust, desperate to recall her old love, is an idol drama that is out of the bone of a romance novel. It's awkward to watch, but you can't ask too much from the old movies of the 1930s, right? And even after time, Dietrich's smile will still make you...

The perspective is still the white standard of the contemporary era, and the Chinese are basically villains, but they are not dirty; the mixed-race military officer even expressed ashamed of his white blood; the European director still has something. Anna May Wong is very aura and can indeed be regarded as a Chinese actor restricted by the times. Marlene Dietrich is the only foreigner to say "Shanghai" correctly instead of "Shane Hi", possibly because she is German rather than...

ruthless bitch
The prostitute Shanghai Lily in the film does not hesitate to dedicate herself to a small warlord for her old lover. In reality, countless women dedicate themselves to many men for their men. Don't you mean bitches are ruthless?

looks beautiful
Marlene Dietrich under Steinberg's lens is the most beautiful. There is no lack of sexy and glamorous in classics. Even at the moment when love blooms, she is proud. This film seems to have become Dietrich's personal show, with different costumes and different accessories, taking turns in battle,...

Mrs. Haggerty: I've never been so shocked in my life. I suppose the Chinese girl deserves all she's getting, but as for the other lady... Well, I'm not going to say anything. Of all the brazen creatures, playing the gramophone. Why, she's the most terrible woman I've ever met. I don't see how she can look any of us in the eye. Going off with the late Mr. Chang after the way he treated us. Bad enough she tried it before he held up the train, but after the way he tortured poor Mr. Baum...
Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Look here, Mrs. Haggerty, I think you're doing the woman an injustice. I don't know what caused her to behave that way, but I'm sure there's a whole lot more behind this than appears on the surface.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Mr. Carmichael, when I had the pleasure of making your acquaintance yesterday, you volunteered an amazingly correct diagnosis of Shanghai Lily, and I see no reason for you to have changed it.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Look here, Captain Harvey, I happen to know that she prayed all night for your safety.
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I'd give anything in the world to believe the way you do, but I heard from her own lips she was leaving with Chang.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael: That's rubbish!
Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I wish it were.
Sam Salt: Defending that dame. I'm pretty liberal on the subject of betting, but I wouldn't back his viewpoint for all the rice in China.
Mrs. Haggerty: Neither would I.

Reverend Mr. Carmichael: I'd like to talk to you alone.
Shanghai Lily: I don't wish to talk to anybody.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael: I'm sorry to have to insist, but I must talk to you.
Shanghai Lily: If you're thinking of reforming me, you might as well save yourself the trouble.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael: I'm not trying to reform you. I'm not trying to reform anybody right now. All I want is to settle something that's been puzzling me all day. Why did you decide to leave with that barbarian who was killed by her this morning?
[Hui Fei and Carmichael exchange glances as she leaves the compartment]
Shanghai Lily: What makes you want to know? Curiosity?
Reverend Mr. Carmichael: You prayed last night, probably for the first time in years. This morning, you were to shamelessly leave with Chang. There's something wrong there. You can't tell me that a human being can do two things like that within six hours.
Shanghai Lily: Although it's nobody's affair but mine, I might tell you if you promise not to repeat it.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Of course I won't repeat it. I came in here to find out for myself. I'm not interested in the others.
Shanghai Lily: He was going to deprive Captain Harvey of his eyesight. I had no other choice.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Does Captain Harvey know that?
Shanghai Lily: Does he act as if he did?
Reverend Mr. Carmichael: He certainly does not. Despite the fact that I gave you my word not to tell anyone, I'm going to tell him this.
Shanghai Lily: You're not going to do anything of the kind. Mr. Carmichael, it may seem odd for me to use your language, but it's purely a question of faith. You see, once upon a time we loved each other. We parted, and I threw my life away because I didn't care to bargain for love with words. I haven't changed since them, and neither has he.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael: You're still in love with him, aren't you?
Shanghai Lily: Yes.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael: Is he still in love with you?
Shanghai Lily: I doubt it.
Reverend Mr. Carmichael: You're right. Love without faith, like religion without faith, doesn't amount to very much. I don't suppose I can help you.
Shanghai Lily: No.
