About accents

i.

Before the 1980s, there were basically two ways for foreign companies to shoot films related to Chinese themes in Hollywood studios or in the colonies of capitalist allies at that time (for example, a 007 film related to China was shot in Hong Kong, the Commonwealth of Nations). , and since the Opium War, residents in the Pearl River Delta have moved to Hong Kong one after another, and most of them are near Foshan and Panyu. Those people in the play speak the Shunde accent,...

ruthless bitch

      The prostitute Shanghai Lily in the film does not hesitate to dedicate herself to a small warlord for her old lover. In reality, countless women dedicate themselves to many men for their men. Don't you mean bitches are ruthless?
     Mr. Liang Yuchun said: The most lovely women are the infatuated people in this group of people, such as salesmen, actresses, and singers; Yes, but if they really fall in love with a lover, their love is ten thousand times stronger than that of...

There is really no good or bad in every movie

If I had watched this film before translating Jack Smith, I would have thought it was very ordinary, just an ordinary Hollywood film of the 1930s, but what Jack Smith saw was different from what I saw. He admired this director because this director The storyline can be sacrificed to achieve the beauty of a woman. In his films, women are jewels, shining with the charm of other people. The whole film is used to show the beauty of women. The price is very high. In that era, it was true It's a...

looks beautiful

Marlene Dietrich under Steinberg's lens is the most beautiful. There is no lack of sexy and glamorous in classics. Even at the moment when love blooms, she is proud. This film seems to have become Dietrich's personal show, with different costumes and different accessories, taking turns in battle, so mysterious, arrogant, wronged, sad, playful, stubborn... It
seems that Dietrich is placed in a photographic scene . The shed changes the scene, the shape, and the character, but in the end,...

If you want to talk about it, it's too long to be separated for five years. The train shook so violently that the cigarette could hardly be caught between the fingers. Shanghai Lily, why don't we start...

There are still traces of the transition from silent films to sound films (audio-visual means, dialogue rhythm, etc.), and the photography is soft and beautiful, but this story is indeed relatively small, especially compared with Sternberg's works in his early...

Too ugly to provoke, the plot is ridiculous. The story takes place in the north, but the Chinese people in it all have an accent similar to Cantonese on the west bank of the Pearl River. The image of the warlord villain played by Oland (I don't know if there is a yellow face) is like a fat version of Fu Manchu. It seems that the two-stroked beard is standard for the stereotyped image of "Chinaman". It's probably as uncomfortable to watch as an Arab is to see Anthony Quinn as an Arab, the...

How did she manage to change into N evening dresses with so little luggage on the train? If the plot was set in a completely fictional country, it would still be quite an "exotic" romance. As for the appearance of camels transporting goods at Beijing Railway Station, the whole of China speaks Cantonese with a strange accent... It fits the setting of a fictional...
