Another way for an ugly woman to live in the world is to become a writer. Because she will never be the lover of any man. Men hate her. What a man needs is always one kind of woman: a vase. beautiful. As a woman in a vase, there is only one ending in the end: broken, because of heart death. Because the vase is impossible to be happy, after the vase lives for men, it can only develop into madness, loss of control and self-harm. For example, Liang Hailing. This is how the ugly and brilliant supporting actress Lucy in the old Hollywood film "Jincheng Spring" gave me the feeling.
The American film writer David Baldwell once said when talking about Hong Kong movies: Everything went too far, and everything was crazy. This sentence is also appropriate to describe old Hollywood movies. This excess and madness comes from absolute self-confidence at the peak. Once past this peak moment, this absolute confidence is about to disappear. It is equally suitable for writers, Hong Kong movies or old Hollywood movies.
Today I saw the best Hollywood musical "Jincheng Spring".
The most brilliant in the film are two women, one is Ann Miller, who plays the role of female genologist, and the other is Betty Garrett, who plays the role of a female taxi driver. The world is full of spring. When the beautiful, sexy, friendly and happy Ann Miller lifts up her skirt, reveals her black stockings, dances and sings, declaring that she does not like modern people and likes ancient people, because ancient men are simple and happy, although there is no internet. But very free.
Betty Garret plays a New York taxi female driver, the sexiest, bravest and most persistent taxi female driver in the world. When she saw the man she liked, she said: "I never give up what I like", and immediately pursued him. When the sailor played by Frank Sinatra was still holding back whether to accept the love of a strange lady, she had directly invited him to her house. She believes in love at first sight. In order to get the sailor she likes, she pounces on the shy sailor like a cat, brave and charming.
The most touching thing in the film is the chorus of three sailors and three ladies in the bar, "When You Are Sad". Frank Sinatra begins:
When you are sad,
you must remember this thing
is not as bad as you think
everyone will leave you
but I will not
I will be by your side. I’m sure
you can rely on me.
Just like the calculator says, "You can rely on me" (a clever use of the pun of "you can account on me")
if you commit a murder
and are ready Hanged
If I have a rope,
I will hang with you,
I will always be with you, I will be by
your side,
I will always be with you all my
life
,
I will stick to you like fly paper and flies
If you want to mother
wanted a baby in her arms
but when you get to where
you can come to me
if you have no money to buy food
I will not ask you why
not ask
me when will my mother's jewels
to steal my sister's rent
It’s all for you,
you can squeeze me dry,
just like a cow telling the farmer that
you can squeeze me dry.
If we can be together all night,
I will take him to heaven.
If the rescue arrives,
you don’t need to be afraid
because you just need me
like The cake group told the pastry chef that
you only need me
