Tragedy is that in the eyes of God, everything he created has no meaning, and the loss of meaning creates the root of tragedy. Comedy is that everything that God created has meaning, and when you see it, wholehearted admiration and love naturally arise in your heart. Seemingly the opposite of simplicity, is comedy that simple? It seems that it is not so simple. When we feel that everything in the world is so meaningful, will it be because we are too young to see the existence of tragedy, so comedy is not satisfied with such a simple and happy path. In the ancient Greek period, comedy was used to sing and chant the harvest, express the spirit of the sun god, and simply praise the meaning of life. Later, comedy developed other definitions. Lu Xun: Comedy is to tear up meaningless things for people to see. In this senselessness, comedy produces a more powerful ironic power, stronger than sings and praises. It sees through meaninglessness and not only praises the existence of all things. significance. Beginning of a genre: dark humor, Catch 22, like an insinuation of life, obedience or break, will be in dire straits. Such comedies, full of melancholy and allusions to meaningless predicaments, enter the realm of black comedy. The film is a eccentric comedy, born during the Great Depression in the United States. In the past, the shooting method was subject to the film set equipment, and the filming followed the axis. According to the Hollywood screenwriting principle: When you meet and start a quarrel or fight, you will definitely be married. Mainstream tendencies to hide behind bad tempers, outrageous actions to break down class hierarchies, that's why we love each other, we love each other's differences, so we're in love. The friction between the poor and the rich is a very beautiful Hollywood dream. After the chorus in the car is over, the transition from a national crisis to a personal crisis is just a metaphor for the national crisis that the audience does not feel, but becomes a personal intuitive pain, and the feeling will be deeper. The rules for shaping characters: A mature and credible character is a fully functioning microcosm, including revolution and rotation, centripetal force and centrifugal force. Revolution is to serve others and the society, rotation is something to consider for one's own survival, centripetal force recognizes mainstream values, and centrifugal force reverses mainstream values. Achieving a complete balance is a flesh-and-blood character that makes people approachable. The production of joy cannot exceed three minutes, otherwise the audience will be bored. Overhead shooting is not good for expressing heroes In Hollywood screenwriting principles: If you meet and start a quarrel or fight, you will eventually become a family.

    The ancestor of vulgar films is not a false name, and all romantic comedies have to bow their heads. If Colbert is replaced by Vivien Leigh, I don't know what effect it will have, alas. . classic!

    Frank Capra's representative work, the first film to win the Oscar "Grand Slam". This film is the originator of romantic comedies, and it also allowed Columbia Pictures to become a first-line studio in one fell swoop. The poor reporter played by Clark Gable and the rich girl played by Kaaba are very charming. The film’s lines are superb and there are constant laughter. Many wonderful sections are used for later generations: Jericho’s Wall, Beautiful Legs to Stop Cars, Carrots, Carrying People and Ass, Traveling and Fleeing Marriage. (9.0/10)

It Happened One Night quotes

  • [Peter watches as Ellie dunks her donut]

    Peter Warne: Say, where'd you learn to dunk? In finishing school?

    Ellie Andrews: Aw, now don't you start telling me I shouldn't dunk.

    Peter Warne: Of course you shouldn't - you don't know how to do it. Dunking's an art. Don't let it soak so long. A dip and

    [he stuffs the donut in his mouth]

    Peter Warne: plop, in your mouth. You let it hang there too long, it'll get soft and fall off. It's all a matter of timing. Aw, I oughta write a book about it.

    Ellie Andrews: [laughs] Thanks, professor.

    Peter Warne: Just goes to show you - twenty millions, and you don't know how to dunk.

    Ellie Andrews: Oh, I'd change places with a plumber's daughter any day.

  • [Peter is carrying Ellie across the creek slung over his shoulder]

    Ellie Andrews: You know this is the first time in years I've ridden piggy-back.

    Peter Warne: This isn't piggy-back.

    Ellie Andrews: Course it is.

    Peter Warne: You're crazy.

    Ellie Andrews: I remember distinctly my father taking me for a piggy-back ride.

    Peter Warne: And he carried you like this, I suppose?

    Ellie Andrews: Yes.

    Peter Warne: Your father didn't know beans about piggy-back riding.

    Ellie Andrews: My uncle, mother's brother, has four children and I've seen them ride piggy-back.

    Peter Warne: I'll bet there isn't a good piggy-back rider in your whole family. I never knew a rich man yet who could piggy-back ride.

    Ellie Andrews: You're prejudiced.

    Peter Warne: You show me a good piggy-backer and I'll show you a real human. Now you take Abraham Lincoln for instance. A natural born piggy-backer. Where do you get all of that stuffed-shirt family of yours?

    Ellie Andrews: My father was a great piggy-backer.

    Peter Warne: Here, hold this.

    [Peter hands to Ellie the case he was carrying and slaps her behind for that remark]
