Nine nominations, no winners

After watching this film for the nine Oscar nominations, I always feel that I owe something. Compared with the best film of the year, Qingshan Cuigu, both films made a certain attack on social reality and were full of depression, but this film did not have the power of Qingshan, and in the end, the bad guys were not severely punished, maybe they were defeated. one of the reasons.

Bette Davis's performance in the film is quite satisfactory, not very good. In contrast, I think her performance in Comet Beauty is better. Maybe the Hui film is closer to her real life. . Also, I don't like her hairstyle. Among the other actors, I think that Uncle Ban's portrayal of the bad guy makes people hate it, which is a bright spot. The little beauty TERESA WRIGHT in the hot hand destroys flowers still looks very young, but she has already begun to show her beauty.

Overall, it wasn't as good as expected, with none of the nine nominations winning, perhaps explaining something.

    One of the cases of what Bazin calls "a dialectical step in the history of film language". Griffith-esque analytical editing is abandoned, and depth-of-field shots are used throughout, with particular emphasis on creating depth through interior sets, the camera movement is still relatively simple, and the climax scenes use zoom to intensify the tension. Bette Davis and Teresa Wright are both mother-daughter images.

    Thanks to the social university and colleagues in the unit, I am used to seeing the greed and malice that kill people, so it's okay to watch this. This family is really awesome. The last class is a declaration of war. There are thousands of people like us (greedy and vicious), and sooner or later we will control the world, but don't worry, such people have been besieged and suppressed for centuries , still has not taken over the world. Aunt is really a pitiful character. It may be a portrayal of many women's lives. They marry bad people and hate their sons. The drinking part is a blood and tear complaint, watching crying. Bette Davis is so beautiful, adoration.

The Little Foxes quotes

  • Ben Hubbard: Then, too, one loses today and wins tomorrow.

  • Regina Giddens: [about marrying Horace] It didn't take me long to find out my mistake. Then it was just as if I couldn't stand the sight of you. I couldn't bear to have you touch me. I thought you were such a soft weak fool, you were so understanding when I didn't want you near me. The lies and excuses I used to make to you, and you believed them. That was when I began to despise you.

    Horace Giddens: [starts looking agitated] Why didn't you leave me?

    Regina Giddens: Where was I to go? What money did I have? I didn't think about it much, if I had, I'd have known you'd die before I did. But I couldn't have guessed you'd get heart trouble so early and so bad. I'm lucky Horace. I've always been lucky. I'll be lucky again.

    [Horace drops his emergency medicine]

    Horace Giddens: The other bottle. Please, upstairs in my room, in the drawer.

    [Regina does nothing. Horace stumbles upstairs himself and collapses]
