    Havilland is well-chosen and well-acted! The temperament and behavior before and after the lovelorn are different, and the best actress deserves her name. But I can't understand Cathy's resentment towards her father. People should have self-knowledge, and even if they don’t have it, they shouldn’t get angry when others point it out frankly. This is a defense mechanism for those with low self-esteem, and it is also a sign of a person’s inability to accept himself. These all portend tragedy. It's...

    Based on the novel "Washington Square" by Henry James. This version, the story is relatively weak, I haven't read the original, I still prefer the handling of the 1997 version. The heroine's specialty in this film is embroidery, she is clumsy, she dances cutely, and her attachment to her father is not obvious. However, he has a straightforward personality. When he meets a handsome and sweet male protagonist, he is immediately willing to fly away with him; he shouts that even if he only likes...

    See that little girl blowing soap bubbles in the neighborhood? Sometimes she jumped and scratched with her hands, and when the soap bubble burst, she cried, thinking it was her own scratching. She didn't know that the instant the soap bubbles flew in the air did not exceed 5 seconds. The film is also a story of disillusionment in which a daughter feels disillusioned when she longs for her father's approval, but also because of the ulterior motives of her suitor. At first she was full of...

    Looking at Melanie from an old enemy, the heroine is so miserable, she has no beautiful appearance, no smart mind, and no interesting soul, but fortunately she still has fortune, if she really has nothing, wouldn't it be...

    Legacy and grim dual succession. I thought that there would be a reconciliation and redemption when the old man closed his eyes, but Old William's arrangement was an unexpected revenge by releasing pigeons. From the previous scene, it can be seen as an excellent adaptation of Grandet. The father-daughter drama is more exciting than the love scene. Olivia's character transition was natural and smooth, and several close-ups of light hitting her face dazzled. From the appearance and voice to the...

    Ha a bit hit too close to home... It's not just a superficial story of marrying a daughter, but an analysis of the father-daughter relationship and male and female rights through blue-faced troubles. I don't know if it is due to the original work, but it is an unexpected...

    Olivia de Havilland gave her acting talent unreservedly to the show. She created two of my favorite female characters in film history, Melanie and this one—the...

    Adapted from Henry James "Washington Square", a masterpiece! ! William Wheeler is a great god, as always psychologically brilliant! ! A woman develops a mind! ! The difference before and after Havilland is so good! ! You will have new ideas almost every ten minutes after you see it. She stood by the window and said she would leave forever and never see Washington Square again. It hurts to think about it! Clift was so sexy in the Red River a year ago, I feel old...

    cruel? The cruelty of heartbroken people is a kind of nature. . . The masterpieces are styled and the emotions of the scene are laid out. Various treatments are in place, although there are also suspicions of old-fashioned...

    Where does the woman's misfortune come from

    100 years ago in 1949, this story was almost the same as the Cinderella fairy tale. It could begin with once upon a time. But just like today there are still Cinderella looking forward to the prince to find her to marry a wealthy family, today there are still countless men vainly trying to become a...

    Deliberately retaliate, showing that there is love in my heart

    "Heiress" was filmed in 1949 and adapted from Henry James' famous book "Washington Square".

    The original novel has carried out an extremely profound analysis of the relationship between father and daughter, family ethics, family love and human nature. This is not a love story, but a story that...
