content retelling

At the beginning of the film, Ellie and her wealthy father quarreled on the boat and jumped into the sea. Various situations were encountered along the way: luggage was stolen, the bus was missed, the bridge collapsed due to heavy rain, the bus got stuck in the quagmire... Although all these did not shake Ellie's pursuit of gold, Ellie's heart already belonged to Hua En. In the end, Hua En used his principles to impress Ellie's father, and Ellie fled the wedding under her father's persuasion.

- The walls of Jericho have begun to fall.

experience

"Roman Holiday" is a tragedy, "It Happened One Night" is a comedy.

"Roman Holiday" forgets the rivers and lakes, and "It Happened One Night" accompanies them for life.

But which of the two is better? not necessarily.

True love, knowing what is love at first sight and what is not.

Really rich people know what money can buy and what can't.

When love can be bought by money, it is not love.

The impoverished sincerity and the tenderness of accomplishing nothing are the most original appearance of love.

classic quotes

① "If you insist on getting married, it would be stupid. That Hua En is good. He doesn't want a bounty. He only needs 39 yuan and 9 cents to compensate him for the money he spent on you, saying that it is a matter of principle, and that you are playing tricks on him. He loves you Ellie, he told me himself. You don't want to marry a fool like Wesley, I can buy him. You'll make me and yourself happy. If you change your mind If so, your car will be waiting for you outside."

② "The walls of Jericho have begun to fall."

It Happened One Night quotes

  • [Peter hangs a blanket between the twin beds in their room at the autocamp]

    Ellie Andrews: That, I suppose, makes everything quite all right?

    Peter Warne: Oh this? Well, I like privacy when I retire. Yes, I'm very delicate in that respect. Prying eyes annoy me. Behold the walls of Jericho! Uh, maybe not as thick as the ones that Joshua blew down with his trumpet, but a lot safer. You see, uh, I have no trumpet. Now just to show you my heart's in the right place, I'll give you my best pair of pajamas.

    [he offers her the pajamas - she ignores them - so he tosses them at her]

    Peter Warne: Uh, do you mind joining the Israelites?

    [indicates he wants her to go on the other side of the blanket - she doesn't budge]

    Peter Warne: You don't want to join the Israelites? Alright.

    [he begins to undress]

    Peter Warne: Perhaps you're interested in how a man undresses. You know, it's a funny thing about that. Quite a study in psychology. No two men do it alike. You know, I once knew a man who kept his hat on until he was completely undressed. Yeah, now he made a picture. Years later, his secret came out. He wore a toupee. Yeah. You know, I have a method all my own. If you notice, the coat came first, then the tie, then the shirt. Now, uh, according to Hoyle, after that, the, uh, pants should be next. There's where I'm different... I go for the shoes next. First the right, then the left. After that it's, uh, every man for himself.

    [he starts to unbuckle his pants and she runs to the other side of the blanket]

  • Ellie Andrews: You think I'm a fool and a spoiled brat. Well, perhaps I am, although I don't see how I can be. People who are spoiled are accustomed to having their own way. I never have. On the contrary. I've always been told what to do, and how to do it, and when, and with whom. Would you believe it? This is the first time I've ever been alone with a man!

    Peter Warne: Yeah?

    Ellie Andrews: It's a wonder I'm not panic-stricken.

    Peter Warne: You're doing alright.

    Ellie Andrews: Thanks. Nurses, governesses, chaperones, even bodyguards. Oh, it's been a lot of fun.
