The trumpet sounded and the walls of Jericho fell

This movie was shown by the teacher in the classroom. Seeing the black and white pictures with the weird Chinese dubbing and discordant subtitles, it was really hard to make people want to watch it at first. After watching a plot, you will gradually be attracted by a series of humorous and interesting plots in the film, and can't help but go back and confirm whether this is really a movie from the 1930s. Many of the plots in the film seem to make people smile today, and many plots and lines have even been imitated and used by many filmmakers until now. The most classic of them is "Roman Holiday" in the 1940s. The structure of the story is almost all derived from the movie "It Happened One Night". The story of the handsome and upright diaosi and the beautiful and willful banker's daughter is just like the routine plot of the rich second generation and Cinderella on the screen today. This movie in the 1930s can be said to be the originator of these plays. The end of the film is very interesting. The couple in the hotel discussed that they were holding horns, ropes and blankets. I believe that the audience who saw this would be able to smile knowingly. The walls of Jericho collapsed. The city wall between the people collapsed abruptly with the sound of the horn, and a real night of romance began. The title of the movie that seems to be thought-provoking is actually a fairy tale story, with interesting dialogue between the two along the way, and many classic scenes: Scene 1: Peter goes to find carrots for Ellie to eat, Ellie mouths She murmured that it didn't matter if Peter was gone, but when she found out that Peter was gone, she immediately screamed out to Peter, Peter rushed to Ellie when she heard the sound, Ellie hugged Peter tightly and said that she was no longer hungry. . Scene 2: The two of them are on the highway. Peter wants to intercept an oncoming car and wants to hitch a ride. Peter confidently used three gestures to show his thumbs up, and said that he could write a book. Later, Ellie said let her try, but Ellie stopped the car with her beautiful thighs and she won. Peter said angrily: "Why don't you take off your clothes, so you can stop 40 cars" Ellie smiled and said: "When we need 40 cars, I will remember this." There are many more in the film The plots are all impressive. Although there are not many main characters in the film, each of them has a distinct personality. The relationship between the male and female protagonists along the way has been from distrust at the beginning to the secret affection later, and the two clearly love each other. , but always bickering; the two have very different identities, but they are contradictory and cute when they live together. It can be said that the intention of the script and the excellent performance of the actors brought the audience a fairy tale-like feeling.

It Happened One Night quotes

  • [Peter hangs a blanket between the twin beds in their room at the autocamp]

    Ellie Andrews: That, I suppose, makes everything quite all right?

    Peter Warne: Oh this? Well, I like privacy when I retire. Yes, I'm very delicate in that respect. Prying eyes annoy me. Behold the walls of Jericho! Uh, maybe not as thick as the ones that Joshua blew down with his trumpet, but a lot safer. You see, uh, I have no trumpet. Now just to show you my heart's in the right place, I'll give you my best pair of pajamas.

    [he offers her the pajamas - she ignores them - so he tosses them at her]

    Peter Warne: Uh, do you mind joining the Israelites?

    [indicates he wants her to go on the other side of the blanket - she doesn't budge]

    Peter Warne: You don't want to join the Israelites? Alright.

    [he begins to undress]

    Peter Warne: Perhaps you're interested in how a man undresses. You know, it's a funny thing about that. Quite a study in psychology. No two men do it alike. You know, I once knew a man who kept his hat on until he was completely undressed. Yeah, now he made a picture. Years later, his secret came out. He wore a toupee. Yeah. You know, I have a method all my own. If you notice, the coat came first, then the tie, then the shirt. Now, uh, according to Hoyle, after that, the, uh, pants should be next. There's where I'm different... I go for the shoes next. First the right, then the left. After that it's, uh, every man for himself.

    [he starts to unbuckle his pants and she runs to the other side of the blanket]

  • Ellie Andrews: You think I'm a fool and a spoiled brat. Well, perhaps I am, although I don't see how I can be. People who are spoiled are accustomed to having their own way. I never have. On the contrary. I've always been told what to do, and how to do it, and when, and with whom. Would you believe it? This is the first time I've ever been alone with a man!

    Peter Warne: Yeah?

    Ellie Andrews: It's a wonder I'm not panic-stricken.

    Peter Warne: You're doing alright.

    Ellie Andrews: Thanks. Nurses, governesses, chaperones, even bodyguards. Oh, it's been a lot of fun.
