      You can watch it online

      Someone uploaded TUDOU and everyone went to watch a

      greatly underrated film. Could it be because you didn't get the main Oscar awards of the year? The Oscar is like a pass, a guarantee for the classic name, and the film to go to this pass is always wrapped in an overly orthodox and tacky. . . And this film is just like the personality of BARBRA, not restricted by any restrictions.

      Her success as a singer somewhat offset her influence as an actor and director. It’s very...

      Regardless of male and female related taboos

      For Chinese audiences who are familiar with "Blessings of Love", "Yanter" has already lost half of the fun in the story.

      But having said that, even though Mrs. Barbra Streisand holds high the banner of feminism, this scene is just as valid if it is put on a man-in such a country where the younger brother commits suicide, it will affect her marriage with her sweetheart. Maybe it is. It's unknown if Brother Tian committed suicide and couldn't study anymore? Let’s open up my mind a...

      Classical love

      When I was very young, CCTV showed this film and was moved. At that time, I thought, how could there be such a beautiful movie, how could there be such a beautiful love. Barbra Streisand was never a beauty, but she was so talented.

      Today I suddenly remembered this movie I saw when I was very young, and it was translated as "Yanter" or "Yang Duo". Forgot the details. Roughly speaking about the background of the Middle Ages, Barbra Streisand dressed as a man to go to church school and...

      There are moments that you will never forget

      There are moments you remember all your life.
      There are moments you wait for ans1 dream,
      Of all your life. This is one of those moments.
      I will always remember this chair, that window,
      the way the light streams in. The clothes I 'm wearing,
      The words I'm heating, The face I'm seeing, The feeling I'm feeling,
      The smell, the sounds, will be written
      On my mind, will be written in my heart
      As long as I live!
      I can, travel the past and take what I need...

      Beautiful Hardys

      Hardys is beautiful and dignified, but it is a full vase. A perfect woman under the patriarchal structure. In terms of life choices, she obeys the arrangements of her parents; her every word and deed is prepared to serve her husband; it can be said that she does not even have love.
             Hardys is the most sympathetic character, she lived under the arrangements of others from beginning to end. Finally, Hardys, inspired by Yantel, knew that he asked the husband to satisfy his wife, and...

      The appearance of this movie had a huge impact on me when I was a teenager. Although Yan Teer was not beautiful, she was such a strong girl, and it also made me start to dream about my future. Of course, because of this film, I fell in love with...

      He may give the love she longs for, and he will never give the equality and respect she seeks. Looking at today, two women are living together across the world, what else is there to do with men? Still a new...

      Streisand's first directorial work, the shooting is extremely beautiful, and the songs written by Michel Legrand are also excellent. Unfortunately, the storyline of this Jewish version of "The Liang Zhu" is too loose, and the second half makes people sleepy. The song is directly degraded to the musical films before the 1960s. The Blu-ray version looks scary in some places, but video-like in others, and the audio quality is...

    Evaluation action

    The story of the film is a bit like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, but it does not focus on love lines, but aims to promote feminist ideas; the film’s handling of songs has completely got rid of the traditional "stop the show and sing" method, and the songs have appeared. Very natural, like a dramatic monologue that comes naturally. The film is very delicate in these aspects, in addition to the protagonist’s Electra complex. The film's...

    • Tailor: A tailor's like a doctor, what's to be ashamed?

    • Bookseller: You're in the wrong place, storybooks for women are over here.

      Yentl: [holding a book] I'd like this one, please.

      Bookseller: [takes the book away] Sacred books are for men.

      Yentl: Why?

      Bookseller: It's the law.

      Yentl: Where's it written?

      Bookseller: It doesn't matter where it's written, it's the law.

      Yentl: Well if it's the law it must be written somewhere, perhaps in here

      [the book]

      Yentl: . I'll take it.

    • Yentl: Why is it that every book I buy, every bookseller has the same old argument?

      Yentl's Father: You know why.

      Yentl: I envy them.

      Yentl's Father: The booksellers?

      Yentl: No, not the booksellers, the students. Talking about life, the mysteries of the universe and I'm learning how to tell a herring from a carp.

      Yentl's Father: Yentl, for the thousandth time, men and women..."

      Yentl: [cuts him off] have different obligations, I know, but...

      Yentl: Thank you, papa!

      Yentl's Father: The shutters, darling.

      Yentl: We don't have to hide my studying from God, then why the neighbors?

      Yentl's Father: Why? Because I trust God will understand. I'm not so sure about the neighbors.
