Gentleman's Agreement

This afternoon, I watched a movie from a long time ago called "Gentlemen's Agreement". I don't watch many old movies, and sometimes I don't want to watch it. It was a coincidence. The movie will be so old! It's still in black and white, I'm thinking about it, just look at it, anyway, the computer is out of the Internet, I will go home early tomorrow, and I will go back to my May Day ahead of time! Hehe~



The film is two hours long. When I saw the end, I almost fell asleep. I was lying on the table with my headphones on. The voice of the protagonist's dialogue. When I was fully awake, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. I went downstairs to collect the fluffy quilt. I also went to the cafeteria with my roommate to buy something to eat. I came back and watched the ending.



Not long after watching it, I kept sighing to myself: Why did I find such an old film! I guess it was released around 1958, and the FOX logo inside is still black and white. When I saw the middle, I knew: this movie was originally from 1947! Suddenly I found myself so retro!



In fact, if you look into it, you won't find it unsightly. I really like the male protagonist in it. He is so handsome, really!

So handsome and dashing, it's a pity that he and I live in a different era! . The heroine is also good, and she is very beautiful. Their love is also full of twists and turns. In order to write a serialized article about anti-Semitism, the male protagonist Filmin pretended to be a Jew without telling his family and friends. For this article, he paid The price was too high, and love and marriage also fell into crisis several times. Fortunately, the ending was good, the two finally got married, and he also embraced the beauty~



Only then did he know that the male protagonist in it was the famous Gregory Pike.


In fact, I didn't know him well at first, until it was introduced that he and Hepburn starred in "Roman Holiday", and I began to respect him in my heart. I like Hepburn, but I didn't watch her "Roman Holiday", I watched her "War and Peace", because of this, I also fell in love with this star who lived in a different era from me.



"Gentlemen's Agreement" was filmed after the Second World War. Although the war was over, people in various countries still had a deep-rooted mentality of exclusion of Jews, discriminated against Jews, and restricted the rights and freedoms of Jews. This film was officially shot during this period. , gave a powerful counterattack to those anti-Semitic people at that time. After the film was released, it was well received by all parties and won the 20th Academy Award for Best Picture. Parker was nominated for this Oscar. The Mockingbird eventually earned him an Academy Award.
Here are the pictures I took from the movie:

    I don’t know if it’s a translation or a problem of understanding. It was only about halfway through the film that I realized that it was to reveal the incident of Jewish discrimination. I kept looking at “anti-Semites” and thought they were looking down on Jews, but the truth was the opposite; the heroine felt too contrived, It looks a little chilling under the close-up facial expression; can the incident end because of the heroine's final reflection?

    This 47-year-old theme film is recommended because it still has a reference: individual and system, system and accomplice. Of course, the charm of Gregory Pike goes without saying.
