    On the surface, it is the loss of love, the entanglement of the family and the impermanence of fate under the times, but the whole film actually talks about one thing: sex. Kazan stood in the early 1960s on the eve of sexual liberation and looked back at the end of the 1920s on the eve of the Great Depression from a sexual perspective. However, a series of dramatic conflicts strung by sexual anguish seems too dramatic - the depressed boy, the crazy girl - which makes the film show a false...

    7.5 Story "The Umbrella of Cherbourg": Pure love is subject to family pressure or at the mercy of fate, and the final thing is a hot and cold drama. As the second part of the "American Trilogy", it focuses on Kazan's restoration of the background of the Great Depression in the United States in the 1920s, his line drawing of sexual repression and perversion in society (especially in southern towns), and the appearance of the male and female protagonists. Nice...

    The correspondence of the times in Kazan’s films is fascinating every time. The group of young people in the film who were trapped in the Great Depression of 29 years are essentially the young people in the 1960s who were struggling in the early stages of the sexual liberation movement. A reflection of sex, as the elephant in the house in this story, is the element that every character avoids talking about, yet is at the center of the swirl of conflict. Sexual subtext, Freud, coming-of-age,...

    This is the second time I've heard Wordsworth's "Ode to the Immortal" in the movie "We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind"...Love the way Angelina leans against the door at the end and doesn't say anything, Bud Blocked the question and answer with a kiss - do you love me?

    American aesthetics in the 1950s and 1960s were really healthy. The actors are all beautiful. Why are pop star third-rate idols so ugly these days. A conservative and traditional southern town, boys and girls who suppress their desires. Lovers made in heaven are pushed into the abyss by the dross of tradition and are on the verge of destruction. interesting story. Small towns all over the world are the same, gathering narrow, hateful, ignorant and arrogant...

    Are you happy? Am I happy? Happy (happiness) is not a word I (we) can think of anymore. "There is no age for young people", the glorious bubble oppresses young people, who thought it would disappear in the river of desire, or burst out on the eve of the Great Depression. But neither, the director is too kind - the sun is so good, even if the car drives through the dust. Warren Beatty loves...

    When Fufu chatted with Arnaud Desplechin about Demi, he said that he liked the film very much, and it was very similar to the love in "Autumn Water Yiren". Time is irreversible both in and out of the play, and Fufu also said that it was a pity that it was too late to share this feeling with Demi. Natalie Wood is young and lovely, and if you compare Deanie and Geneviève with the aunts in "The Knitting Girl", they both are not as good as aunts together....

    In the past, when it was shown on TV, the magnificent grassland was used. This name directly used the poems of Wordsworth. How wonderful. This film is very sad, even if I was only ten years old at the time, I knew it was about the helplessness of life. : "There will be no more bright sunshine, magnificent grasslands and gorgeous flowers, no sadness, we have to draw strength from everything we...

    It is another Kazan film that is wild and poetic in expression and can be viewed in many ways in content. On the surface, it depicts sexual repression and explores the relationship between characters and society. In the state of multiple situations, the viewer can experience that the characters return to peace after struggling and sadness, but the best ending is the fact that things are different from others. 【1961 Top Ten...

    Except the protagonist is good-looking, there is nothing

    1. During the meeting, the speaker mentioned this movie and was curious, so he downloaded it and watched it.

    2. The overall feeling is not very good. It turns out that foreign films are also bad.

    3. The heroine is so beautiful. Only now did I realize that girls with big eyes are so pretty. The male...

    A tearful film

    This is a very touching film.

    In the beautiful and peaceful American countryside, the beautiful girls Deanie and Bud are deeply in love with each other. Their love carries the enthusiasm and excitement of youth, as well as the helplessness and confusion of youth. However, they were forced to break...

Splendor in the Grass quotes

  • Miss Metcalf: Now, what do you think the poet means by this line ? Deanie Loomis.

    Wilma Dean: I'm sorry, Miss Metcalf. I... I didn't hear the question.

    Miss Metcalf: Well, I know it's Spring, Deanie, but I must ask you to pay more attention. I quoted some lines from Wordsworth's Ode on Intimations of Immortality, Deanie. Did you hear them ?

    Wilma Dean: I'm afraid not Miss Metcalf.

    Miss Metcalf: Well, then I must ask to turn your text to page 380...

    Wilma Dean: Yes.

    Miss Metcalf: You read the lines to me. Stand, please.

    Wilma Dean: "Though nothing can bring back the hour/Of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower/We will grieve not. Rather find/Strengh in what remains behind..."

    Miss Metcalf: Now, perhaps you can tell me exactly what the poet means by such expressions as "Splendor in the grass" and "Glory in the Flower".

    Wilma Dean: Well, I think it have some...

    Miss Metcalf: Yes ?

    Wilma Dean: Well, when we're young, we looks at thing very idealistically I guess. And I think Woodsworth means that... that when we're grow-up... then, we have to... forget the ideals of youth... and find strength... Miss Metcalf, may I please be...?

  • Bud: Hi, sweetheart.

    Wilma Dean: I suppose you wish I was more like Juanita Howard, don't you ?

    Bud: What ?

    Wilma Dean: I saw the way you were looking at her. I think she's disgraceful. Well, she stand there waiting for the...

    Bud: Now wait a minute, wait a minute. There is no reason in the world why I shouldn't see her.

    Wilma Dean: Then why were you speaking to her...

    Bud: What ? You think I'm not suppose to notice her ? It's that what you expect out of me ? I'm not even suppose to know girls like that exist, eh ?

    Wilma Dean: Bud, I'm sorry. I'm sorry Bud, honest.

    Bud: All right, you're sorry.

    Wilma Dean: Oh Bud, please don't be mad !

    Bud: I'm not mad, Deanie.

    Wilma Dean: Oh Bud, Bud, I just can't stand when you're mad at me...

    Bud: Oh, Deanie I don't know the matter with me lately. I always lose my temper. You're the only girl in the world for me, don't you know that, Deanie ?
