    It does not have much connection with the 1924 version of the work of the same name. Instead, this work draws on several classic elements selected from Arabian Nights, which are collectively mixed into a folk myth and legend of Middle Eastern Arabian art, which can be regarded as a masterpiece; It is also a model of the skilled use of double exposure technology in the 1940s. Most of the special effects are already the peak model of the era; but in contrast, the body design is not as good as the...

    1940, British fantasy color and sound film based on Arabic mythology. Photography and montage from the exploration period, flying on horseback, characters turning into puppies, giants in and out of bottles, landslides and ground fissures, and walking on flying carpets, the filmmakers of the 1940s fully displayed their imaginations in The Bandit of Baghdad. The title of the film "The Thieves of Baghdad" implies that the prince is not the protagonist, but the thief is the real protagonist of the f

    There is nothing behind the beautiful colors. The problem of Hollywood commercial films is actually no different from that of domestic urban romance films. It is fake. Humans have no emotions, but they can see the anxiety and money worship of the whole society. The early blue screen special effects were actually done very carefully, presumably the viewing effect at that time must have been very shocking. Originally, seeing Anna May Huang actually see this as this thing, I was very upset and...

The Thief of Bagdad quotes

  • [Abu enters the tent and sees the Old King]

    The Old King: Welcome, our prince.

    [Abu steps forward to the Old King]

    The Old King: Welcome, little prince.

    Abu: Father of a beard, there's some mistake. I'm not a prince. I'm only a thief.

    The Old King: For you, we have been waiting twice two thousand years.

    Abu: Oh, no. Not waiting for me, because I didn't know I was coming, and I don't know how I've come. Who are you, father of miracles? And where am I?

    The Old King: This is the land of legend, where everything is possible when seen through the eyes of youth. We are the remnant of the golden age. Golden because gold was nothing, no more than the sand beneath your feet. Or the stone that we became.

    Abu: How did you become stone?

    The Old King: We were petrified with horror for the evil done among men when they ceased to be children, and to believe in the beauty of the impossible. Whenever the heart of a child returns to us, and comes into us, we live again. And so, as that child, you are to be my successor. Now, come with me and I will present you with two insignia of true kingship.

  • [Jailer and the guard are taking Abu to prison]

    Abu: No, I say! No, not in prison! Don't put me in prison, no!

    Jailer: Come on in, thief. Cut off his right arm, and then his left, and then his left leg, and then his right, and then his head.

    Abu: No! No, no, no! I say, no!

    [Abu tries to take the key from him and Jailer pushes him]

    Abu: Don't kill me, I don't want to die!

    Jailer: Tomorrow morning.

    [turning to Ahmad]

    Jailer: And as for a madman, our great Sultan Jaffar is merciful. Only his head, as the sun rises.
