A good silent love movie

I heard about this masterpiece directed by Capra when I took the film history class last semester. When I was going to look for a movie to watch today, I was surprised to find this movie, so I watched it without hesitation.
At the beginning of the film, the heroine's rebellious, pungent, and rebellious image deeply attracted me, making me feel that the heroine has the personality of a little swallow. In order to marry the pilot, she resolutely went on a hunger strike, and bravely jumped to escape, and ran to New York to meet her fiancé by herself. Although this kind of drastic measure for love seems a bit crazy, her spirit is very commendable. . I can't help but think that in Chinese costume TV dramas, there are also many such plots in which they rebelled against their father's fate and ran away from home in order to be with their beloved ones. The heroine is so lively.
However, when she met the male protagonist on the way to escape, the two experienced various dangers and gradually developed a relationship. Just when she was holding a wedding with her previously crazy boyfriend, she once again made an amazing Action - escape from marriage. Running away from home for her boyfriend and escaping marriage at the wedding later, although the two seem to be contradictory on the surface, the spiritual motives of the two are the same - that is, to sacrifice for love!
In the film, the plot of running away from home and finally escaping from marriage astonishingly became the classic plot narrative mode of classic love stories, which had a significant impact on the development of the later films.

In addition, the humor, wit, and superb acting skills of the male protagonist also greatly enhance the film, making the film always full of comedy atmosphere, making people look relaxed and happy!

    The origin of countless scenes, Capra is very simple, and Gable is very strong. Thinking of how many movies in the next few decades will not be as good as him, are those bad directors and bad actors not ashamed at all?

    So classic! Comedy, romance, road, and a little bit of a detective, and this is a movie of the thirties. But these are not the most important things. The key is that the director can willingly let the director play with his little feelings, and every little bit of delicate mind is carefully controlled, and the heart is stretched, wrinkled and smoothed out, which is very enjoyable. If there are 100 stars, I want to give 100 stars. #BJIFF2017 4.22@UME Shuangjing Store
