      Roman Holiday--Favorite Childhood Classic Movies

      The best of William Wheeler, the best of Dalton Trumbo, the best of Gregory Peck, and the best of Audrey Hepburn are in this movie, and they all join forces in that black and white image that is about to disappear in 1953, leaving the last classic.

      'Roman Holiday' movie review: The two forget each other

      In this world, there is always something called eternal. Such as love, such as "Roman Holiday". Although the two lovers could not get married, Rome became the witness of their eternal love. Perhaps, every girl once had a princess complex in her heart, fantasizing that one day she would be able to wear a crown and dress, surrounded by everyone, holding the prince's hand and carrying his white head with him. But one day, a real princess got tired of the dull palace life, secretly climbed over...

      only see half

      This movie was shown by the English teacher in the third year of junior high school. I remember that the middle school entrance examination was about to take place. The English teacher said that if we got the first grade in the English test, he would show us a movie. As a result, we really got to the first grade, and the teacher had to show us a movie later, and that movie was (Roman Holiday). That was the first time we knew Audrey Hepburn, the first time we discovered the angel on earth, the...

      first touch of love

      I am familiar with this classic film, but I have never seen it, because I saw the beautiful and romantic city of Rome in the popular broadcast of Flowers and Teenagers, and I immediately watched this film while the iron was hot. How would you rate Hepburn? Eternal goddess, I think Hepburn has always been an untouchable beauty. Because it is too beautiful, I would rather not look at it, otherwise it will be dwarfed by comparison. The elegance of a princess, the cuteness of a little girl. It...

      forever hepburn

      Today, with the rapid development of the film industry, it is a miracle that black and white films can be handed down for such a long time. It well represents the peak of the past, and it also tells us that it is not the brilliant technology of the film that really touches people's hearts. It's that touch of heart.
      Roman Holiday, that day is very short and very long, it is temporary and eternal, it represents the most beautiful part of our time, and every time I think of it, I am moved as...

      The love story of a noble woman and a male reporter, although very cliché, is very romantic and hilarious, which is very in line with the "dream-making" side of the movie. The part where the shoe is dropped is the highlight, and the scenes of the stone lion biting his hand (mouth of truth) and the riotous dance (guitar smashing his head) make people laugh. Audrey Hepburn is very good at acting, but unfortunately I just don't have any feelings for her....

      One day is more eternal (poof), and the pure trust and understanding in the end is based on the lies that provided a lot of jokes before, the identity dislocation, the real scene of Rome, the lovely people of Italy, the two faces that can’t be seen enough, the elegant body, the classic A romantic comedy that ends with pride rather than regret. Beijing Film Festival...

      I didn't expect it to look so good, it looks so much better than I expected~ If I designed the ending, I would use the princess to look at the photo, see this one on the poster of the two, smile, and then finish~ The world looks like Gregory Pike The same gentlemen are too few, princesses should be careful when they go...

      The beautiful Audrey Hepburn, this kind of plot doesn't feel old-fashioned at all. Generally, it is about giving up identity and reputation for love. Princess Anne knew the responsibility she shouldered and gave up her love. Audrey Hepburn interprets this feeling. Well...
