    As the first sound film in film history, although it follows the pattern of silent films interspersed with text and images, when the male protagonist speaks on the screen for the first time, I even feel that I have traveled back to the era 92 years ago and amazed the audience with the audience. call. I don't know if it's because of the imperfect radio equipment or what, there are only a few songs and the speaking part in the back. I don't know how people thought about sound movies at that time,...

    This conflict point is great. In other words, I would also be entangled between the two. In fact, it is now at this stage, but the conflict has not yet reached its peak. The finishing is great, both can exist at the same time, the show can be pushed back, and the jazz singer can lead. In fact, in the process of watching, I complained that the father was too conservative, but thinking about it, this is normal. As such a lead singer, I would like to hope that my mother is very enlightened, isn't...

    The close-up and eye-lighting in melodrama can already be so moving in black and white. Clips are smooth. Imaginatively feel the shock and ecstasy of the audience when they saw the actors singing on the screen in 1927. It seems that we should go to black and white to learn basic audiovisual language before playing...

    What I saw in the library is a digitally restored version. The old black and white film exudes a soft and cool luster, with the texture of ink and wash, which is particularly attractive. Although the plot is simple, it is a very "politically correct" movie: the son of a Jewish celebrant likes black jazz, and after all kinds of conflicts, he has not only obtained his father's understanding and his mother's support, but also won a successful career (and maybe also love me). ignored). There is no...

    What "Jazz Singer" depicts is the alternation of the old and new generations at two levels. On the surface, it is depicting the assimilation advocated by American society and the contradictions that followed. That is, the protagonist has been assimilated by the mainstream of the United States to...

The Jazz Singer quotes

  • Jack Robin: [singing] Blue skies Smiling at me Nothing but blue skies Do I see Bluebirds Singing a song Nothing but bluebirds All day long Never saw the sun shining so bright Never saw things going so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly Blue days All of them gone Nothing but blue skies From now on.
