A series of close-ups fill the beginning of the film, all kinds of jewelry are put on in an orderly manner, until the old woman in the mouth of the wife turns her head, and lives from luxury to poverty in just a few minutes. The jewelry at the beginning of the film directly explained to us Mrs. Kline's character, life status and plot trend of admiring money and seducing men for life. Here, jewelry is used as a prop, and the whole film is opened. I think it has two roles, one is to portray the characters, and the other is to draw suspense and promote the plot.

The film Crazy Boy and Resentful Girl is adapted from the well-known British playwright "Mrs. Weinmere's Fan". To discuss the use of props in the film, the fan is indispensable as the main clue of the whole film. The appearance of the fan is basically the turning point of the whole film. For example, when the Duke of Winmere first appeared, he was attracted by Mrs. Cline. The loving couple changed because of this woman. When the climax of the whole film was caused by a fan and the three men were nervous, Mrs. Kline bravely stood in front of her daughter, avoiding the deepening of the misunderstanding between the Winmilds. She thought that when the end was about to end in a near miss and a trace of sigh, Tup returned to Mrs. Kline again. This fan He helped a pair of lovers to solve the misunderstanding, and the whole movie officially ended with a happy reunion.

We can see that the fan plays an important and fundamental role in the plot and atmosphere of the entire film. Of course, there are also the use of a series of props such as telescopes and backless skirts, which are not listed here.

If the movie is the art of dreaming, then the props are creating a stage for the realization of the dream. When the props are integrated into the whole film, the props have vitality, and the film becomes a complete work of art.
