The wall of Jericho is falling, let it fall

Apart from the classic sections of innovative value that this film contributed to future love dramas: the two bed spacers, the bride escaping marriage, etc., the most moving scene in the whole movie is that the male protagonist cheats the detective and takes the female protagonist's collar. When the detective just left, the male protagonist squatted down while talking and laughing and buttoned the female protagonist earnestly. The whole set of movements was natural, gentle and gentle. Without any pre-contrast and close-up shots, it is a very natural scene, and no turning points are deliberately arranged. I haven't seen such a detailed and natural plot in a love movie for a long time. This is what a love movie should look like. Only when the emotions that are integrated into every subtle action are revealed naturally will it really move people. The light and shadow of the whole film are also very beautiful, especially the scene where the male protagonist carries the female protagonist across the river. The sun hits the characters, the grass and the water. Not only is the water sparkling, but the whole picture is covered with traces of light , harmonious and agile, full of dreamy colors, and the precious thing is that this dreamy color does not rely on powerful post-production special effects, and the real light and shadow effects are dreamy but not illusory. Seeing such a real and rare picture after watching a lot of special effects in a large film, I also feel fresh and unforgettable.

    "Roman Holiday" is 19 years later than this film. It seems that there are quite a few "incorrect" ones, but most of them have been noticed and eliminated, such as taking a car. Pitt has been expressing his dissatisfaction with this practice, but Ellen has shown a sense of innocence. The mature appearance and expression form a contrasting cuteness. The setting is quite simple, but it does a good job of drama. There are no big ups and downs and no typical villains are created. Several times I thought that there would be a big mess, but I didn't expect it to be resolved relatively easily. Gable is really cute and naive. It's a bit of a sweat for their married life. They are all honest and honest. Can they live a good life, but this is not something that needs to be considered. I forgot the Hays Code, and I can't complain that the ending was so obscure, but I didn't let them play again and it was bold enough to deal with it.

    It is another masterpiece that exists like a treasure, and it is inexhaustible; the chemical reaction between Gable and Kaulbe is full of sparks, and the ride-hailing scene breaks me; if a director wants to If you make a living by making love comedies, it is estimated that you will be considered a master if you have thoroughly learned the few handed down films of Capra Liu Bieqian Wilder.

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]
