I have been thinking about one thing, whether the similar plots between several movies will harm their artistic value or perception.

For example, the beginning of the seven-year itch is much like a plot in one two three. A man sends his wife and children to be happy, and it's hard for himself. They are all men who can't accompany their families. There is such a thing in the big clock. Men always can't accompany their wives and children. In my impression, Lv Chuang Yan Ying also has such a thing, I don't know if the memory is correct.

In any case, a man who is always busy with work cannot accompany his wife and children. This is a very common bridge. If many people shoot like this, is it plagiarism? Is it an imitation? Does

it count as a lack of creativity? I think the value of the movie is not in the pursuit of the difference in the story, but in the touch. For example, when I watch avatar, the section that shocked me the most is the section where the navi people are holding hands and calling the gods side by side under the tree. Particularly spectacular, I think this is Cameron’s touch. That kind of plot is actually not his original creation, it has existed before, but why does Cameron give me the strongest feeling? That's because he has his own touch.

Similarly, Liu Bieqian also has his set of touches, not much to say. Ford, Ford also has touch, the most classic, when Qingshan Cuigu married his daughter, he put two blowers on both sides of the stairs, so Maureen O'Hara's wedding dress was flying in the wind, beautiful, people sang songs and gave them away. The reluctant bride got into the carriage. This is Ford's touch, others don't.

So touch is the only distinguished one.

Does Billy Wilder have touches? Yes, they are just different from Liu Bieqian's touches. I think Billy's touches are best reflected in the lost weekend. How simple is the lost weekend plot? But he can use the ceiling bottle The shadow tells the story, which is the same as his shooting the corpse up in the sunset Boulevard swimming pool. There is also ace in the hole, which is also the most remarkable film of Billy's touch. Billy's touch has a vicious feeling. He is a person who hates. Unlike Liu Bieqian, Liu Bieqian is too kind and soft.

The director's touch is passed to the audience, and the audience will be moved. This is a causal logical relationship. With touch, there will naturally be moved. You just have a plot, no matter how complicated, no matter how suspense, without touch, it will not make people react. So Hitchcock did not win with suspenseful words, but with suspenseful words. I think it is his TV show that best reflects his touch.

From another perspective, people say that good movie scripts are often second- and third-rate novels. This is the same reason. If a director gets a great story, he will often focus on how to reflect the plot of the original. Liu Bieqian always revamps those shit Hungarian scripts. He only does one thing, which is to make the script laughable. He doesn't add complicated plots, just makes it funny.

I finally figured this out in the past few days, so as a celebration

    A delusional hero and a brain-dead heroine. Lots of hilarious locations.

    Monroe is so beautiful....ain't she a living doll? :') The male protagonist is really annoying as hell.... Maybe projecting the director's own BT

    The Girl: Thanks!

    Richard Sherman: You're Welcome.

    The Girl: [drinks it, and coughs] Very good. maybe it needs a little more sugar.

    Richard Sherman: Sugar? No, no. I would strongly advise against putting sugar in a martini.

    The Girl: You would? Why ?

    Richard Sherman: Well, you just have to take my word for it. No sugar in a martini, ever.

    The Girl: That's funny. back home, they put sugar in martinis a lot.

  • Dr. Brubaker: [Entering the room] Good afternoon, Mr. Sherman. I see you've been working on my little book, 'Man and the Unconscious'.

    Richard Sherman: Yessss. It's a wonderful book, doctor. Very important. It has something in it for everyone.

    Dr. Brubaker: I think so.

    Richard Sherman: Now really, doctor, you'll be happy to know we're giving it a big promotion. The full treatment. Two months from today you'll be seeing this cover in every drugstore in America.

    [Shown artboard of a leggy woman in flimsy red dress backpedalling from a man on the street lunging at her]

    Richard Sherman: OF SEX AND VIOLENCE?

    Richard Sherman: Well, we had to soup the title a little.

    Dr. Brubaker: [Studying the artboard] And what, my I ask, is this supposed to represent?

    Richard Sherman: It represents Gustaf Mayerheim, you remember, the mad lover of Leipzig, terrorizing one of his victims. Isn't that just sensational?

    Dr. Brubaker: May I remind you, sir, that Gustaf Mayerheim was a very small man with a large red beard?

    Richard Sherman: Doctor, you're quibbling, Nobody knows that.

    Dr. Brubaker: They know it in Leipzig!
