Tradition and innovation may not contradict

In the creation of a typical Hollywood-style melodrama, men are often the dominant figures in the family. Although men are not present in films such as "Home of Loyalty" and "After Farewell," they are also important hidden characters. If the role of the mother is used to provoke the burden of the whole melodrama, this is from the perspective of the bystander, and it will provide some fresh air to the traditional Hollywood family melodrama. But don't expect me to praise Oscar, tradition and...

Evaluation action

"Mrs Miniver" is the most artistically accomplished film in World War II movies. The film focuses on humanity and humanity care. Although political propaganda is inevitable, the outstanding performance of film artists makes this film describing the lives of ordinary people in the rear area better than many films that promote heroism and become a civilian war. One of the representative works of the film (Comment on "Popular Film") .

Movie quotes

Mr. Ballard: What goes to make a rose, ma'am, is breeding... and budding... and horse manure, if you'll pardon the expression. And that's where you come in, ma'am.
Kay Miniver: Did you know that the 12th Lord Beldon was hanged?

Lady Beldon: He was beheaded! Such things happen in the best families. In fact, usually in the best families.
[last lines]

Vicar: We, in this quiet corner of England, have suffered the loss of friends very dear to us - some close to this church: George West, choir boy; James Ballard, station master and bell ringer and a proud winner, only one hour before his death, of the Beldon Cup for his beautiful Miniver rose; and our hearts go out in sympathy to the two families who share the cruel loss of a young girl who was married at this altar only two weeks ago. The homes of many of us have been destroyed, and the lives of young and old have been taken. There is scarcely a household that hasn't been struck to the heart. And why? Surely you must have asked yourself this question. Why in all conscience should these be the ones to suffer? Children, old people, a young girl at the height of her loveliness. Why these? Are these our soldiers? Are these our fighters? Why should they be sacrificed? I shall tell you why. Because this is not only a war of soldiers in uniform. It is a war of the people, of all the people, and it must be fought not only on the battlefield, but in the cities and in the villages, in the factories and on the farms, in the home, and in the heart of every man, woman, and child who loves freedom! Well, we have buried our dead, but we shall not forget them. Instead they will inspire us with an unbreakable determination to free ourselves and those who come after us from the tyranny and terror that threaten to strike us down. This is the people's war! It is our war! We are the fighters! Fight it then! Fight it with all that is in us, and may God defend the right!
