American Life in the Radio Age

Someone really photographed an era in their memory. Play the scene while you talk.
When TV, let alone computers and mobile phones, had not yet entered thousands of households, people's lives were like this. The cabinet radio at home is playing music, people are reading newspapers and quarreling in the living room, my aunt is sitting on the doorstep listening to music on a small radio, the performance in the dance hall is broadcast live on the radio, the lead singer girl is full of emotions and swaying. The symphony orchestra played hard, and the hall below the stage was crowded with men and women, dancing, drinking, hugging and kissing.
Full of breath of life, whether at home or in social situations, broadcasting has not completely invaded people's lives, face-to-face communication has not been interrupted, people and the media seem to coexist peacefully, and broadcasting has played a more positive role in making people life is richer.
The growth of the middle class, the outbreak of World War II, the Martian invasion of Earth, and the religious clashes caused by Sunday broadcasts are the hallmark events of the broadcast era.
The film has a lot of comedy effects, mainly reflected in the language, background music and action dubbing. Listening is the main thing, and the picture is second. Although the picture is also great, the whole color is relatively bright.
I don't remember which movie of Allen I have seen, and I will not comment on the style and type for the time being. Hmm, that's all I can think of.
It was a fun, easy-going, and entertaining movie to watch. In fact, you can listen to the whole story just by listening.

    The old man is a nostalgic film that reminisces about his childhood with a little sadness. The radio has become a synaesthesia carrier, and a piece of music corresponds to a piece of memory. Putting away the sharp edges and corners and complaining and complaining, what was left was a warm and moderate humor; I didn't expect him to have such a warm side. Almost all of Woody Allen's regular co-stars at that time (Diane Keaton and Mia Farrow also rarely appeared at the same time) 876 2020.02.19 Rewatch

    It's amazing that there is no scene in the movie that seems familiar to me or makes me feel the same way, but I can still be moved by the emotions and pictures inside, so I want to cry

Radio Days quotes

  • Narrator: What Aunt Bea did with the rest of the money was treat us all to a Broadway dance palace. She and Sy seemed very much in love, and she seemed happy. But it was not to be, because after a week Sy did not leave his wife and children, nor did he after two weeks nor ever. And as the year came to a close, Aunt Bea would soon be back to her old dreams of finding a true love. Still, on this night, no one had any thoughts except what a wonderful time we were all having.

  • Sally: Boy, that was fast! Probably helped I had the hiccups.
