FRANK CAPRA+ROBERT RISKIN One after another unbeaten records flooded the United States in the 1930s. Looking after one by one, there is always a sense of ambivalence that is divorced from reality and firmly grasped by reality. In Shangri-La, the Great Lama and Conway are always talking about wars and human disputes outside the world. There is no magic formula in Shangri-La, but there is an immortal kindness. Some people left their lives to be happy, some left as punishment and God sentenced them to death.

A story of 1935 was filmed in 1937. It was two years after the economic depression, and it was linked to the mysterious place farther away in Tibet in mainland China. The three characters of Commander Cheng on the tail of the plane made people contradict the country and the Communist Party. Sense, CAPRA relied on new attractions and things to grab the eyes of American audiences and not let go.

The plane that was supposed to return to Shanghai was led to Shangri-La by a member of Shangri-La. Conway, his brother George, and a pair of little Pibones who were in charge of funny, and a dying woman who broke down all fell to this so-called Shangri-La. place. At first they were full of doubts, thinking about how to leave. But Conway knew that his fate was here, and he met Sandra and started a new life. Xiaopi originally hoped to return to England and was knighted because of archaeological discoveries, but he was teaching and educating people in Shangri-La. Bonnie was a capitalist who went bankrupt during the Great Depression and wanted all over the country. However, he repaired the drainage system in Shangri-La, and the dying woman was calmed down. Come down and become a pair with Bonnie, they both live very contentedly, only George has been thinking about leaving, has been thinking about leaving.

George met a woman who loved him and asked her to bribe her porter to transport them down the mountain. Conway didn't want to go back, but George and the woman said that Shangri-La was a lie, and there was no such thing as age stagnation. But when they left, Conway saw the old George's woman and knew that Shangri-La was real. George couldn't bear such a big blow and committed suicide. Conway should have returned to London after being rescued by the Tibetan people. But he insisted on going back to Shangri-La, and finally escaped successfully and returned there with perseverance.

The story is extraordinarily plain but so illusory. The script is the script of RISIKIN, and the lens is the lens of CAPRA. Using a fixed photo shooting method, it can be regarded as leading the 1930s again.

Lost Horizon quotes

  • Chang: We rule with moderate strictness and in return we are satisfied with moderate obedience. As a result, our people are moderately honest, moderately chaste and, somewhat more than, moderately happy.

  • Robert Conway: You have no disputes over women?

    Chang: Only very rarely. You see, it would not be considered good manners to take a woman that another man wanted.

    Robert Conway: Supposed somebody wanted her so badly that he didn't give a hang if it was good manners or not?

    Chang: Well, in that event, it would be good manners on the part of the other man to let him have her.
