Recently, nostalgia has been blowing in the office. The last third of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" could not be released, so I gave up and watched "Steal the Dragon and Turn the Phoenix" instead. It turned out to be the "Fake" I watched a few years ago. The film's plot is simple but vibrant with both romance and humor.
Audrey Hepburn is a goddess across generations. Different from the innocence of "Roman Holiday", the worldliness of "My Fair Lady" and the dust of "Breakfast at Tiffany's", she in "Stealing a Dragon and Turning a Phoenix" is both innocent and lovely as a girl, and beautiful and charming as a woman. The fashionable convertible mini cooper, the high fashion, hats and sunglasses on the court in turn, under these external packaging, Audrey Hepburn used more exaggerated body language and emoticons, and her gestures were full of culture and liveliness. unique charm of young woman. The focus of her makeup is on thick black eyeliner, highlighting a pair of talking eyes, and it still seems avant-garde today. The so-called fashion rotation probably means this. The only disadvantage is that she is thinner than her previous works. Could it be that it was also in the trend of losing weight at that time, so was she such a weak and squeamish body in order to show that Miss Qianjin was at the forefront of fashion?
The most impressive is the scene where the hero and heroine are hiding in the sundries. In this small space, the relationship between the two can be sublimated and they kiss deeply, and the dialogue during the period can be regarded as one of the classic scenes in romantic movies.
Another highlight that cannot be ignored is the heroine's talented father who takes the high price of selling fakes he draws as a sense of accomplishment. This European fairy tale image further highlights the comedy of the film.
However, after the lighthearted movie, some questions arose. The museum receives so many visitors every day, and so many people take pride in collecting, how many of them really know how to appreciate it? Confused by the word "authentic", or captured by the title of "treasure", the hypocrisy and vanity of human beings appear so ridiculous and pathetic under the humorous ridicule of the film.
When "the only collector in the world who doesn't do appraisals" held out the figurine like a treasure and found the engagement ring hanging on it, he probably had no regrets except for the accident, but the hero and heroine agreed that love is more important than money, Status, all external things are worth pursuing, cherishing and giving up. I think that's what the film wants to tell us.
