I used to have a teacher who was a male gender. He recalled the past in class. He said that when he met a roommate when he was in college, sparks would be splashed, and he might have a fight in the next second, and he hadn’t exchanged a word in the last three years. talk. It sounds exaggerated and terrifying, but I don’t know if you have focused on ignoring each other for three years or "gender male". Even boys can tear it so cold and cold as ice, don't girls tear it even more cold and cold as ice?
In the golden age of Hollywood in the 20th century, there were two legendary queens, they were torn up vigorously, fighting for the limelight, fighting for men, fighting for children, fighting for Warner's sister, and fighting for the Oscar statuette, which lasted 30 years.
One is the talented Betty Davis.
One is Joan Crawford, who is exquisite and slick.
Let’s start with two famous quotes for everyone to feel at will.
Betty Davis:
Why am I so good at acting as a slut? This is because I am not a slut, and I think this is why Miss Crawford always plays a lady.
Joan Crawford:
I hate this woman, I really don't understand why she has a brilliant career with her pretentious acting skills. What else is there other than staring at fisheyes, playing with cigarettes, and languishing? She loves false feelings, and the public is okay.
It was these two rivals who decided to co-star after a serious decline in popularity.
This film is "The Surprising Change of the Orchid Girl".
After winning five Oscar nominations.
Joan plays the weak and graceful sister Blanche, and Betty plays the nervous sister Baby Jane.
Baby Jane is a popular child star. She is self-willed and arrogant, which makes her father who loves her often have headaches. Her sister Blanche is an ugly duckling. However, if Jane wants to eat ice cream, she will never forget her sister and let her father remember more. Buy one. After Jane became an adult, she gradually passed away, but her sister Blanche became a dazzling star.
A sudden car accident caused Blanche's legs to become disabled, and Jane became crazy.
Everyone said that it was Jane who hit Blanche, and Jane was murdering her sister.
Blanche chose silence.
Indulge his sister's madness day by day.
In that hidden villa, the story begins.
The genre of "Langui Thriller" is: Thriller.
To be honest, if you view this film as a thriller, it is not too bad, but it is not the thriller we are looking forward to.
There are bright spots.
Betty Davis's old face paired with heavenly acting skills, you will never forget.
At least I can't forget.
33 minutes after the beginning of the film, an old woman was sitting at the piano, playing boringly, she looked slightly drunk, and suddenly she heard the song, a song sung by the favorite Baby Jane who was once standing on the stage, her expression gradually In a trance, as if she had returned to the past, she started singing too.
As a result, she sang and walked into the light. There was a mirror opposite. The man in the mirror was old and had terrible makeup, just like a lonely old witch. Not the cute Baby Jane. She was dazed for a while, then covered her face and screamed in pain.
I used to fight injustices for my sister Blanche. I thought to myself, Jane had disabled her sister and changed her way every day to torture her. Such a setting is simply a standard vicious female match.
But at this moment, I think she is so miserable.
Jane is weird, stupid, neurotic, and no one can stand it. Still a murder suspect.
She missed herself who was doted by daddy in the past.
She also fantasizes that she is still a popular star.
She likes to ask people: "Do you know who I am?" She was expectant and made an elegant gesture. And everyone just held her field awkwardly, "Ah, remember, remember."
Jane is not ordinary neurotic.
Throwing letters sent by fans to Blanche to keep her from touching, imitating Blanche's voice to order wine for herself, imitating her signature and spending money indiscriminately, these are the second things.
On the dinner plate she brought to Blanche, there was the carcass of a bird or a dead mouse. Then he hid and laughed triumphantly after hearing Blanche's horrified cry.
Jane tortured Blanche into an inhuman form, imprisoned in a small room on the second floor, and even killed a loyal maid who took care of Blanche.
Later, when she saw that what she was doing was discovered, Jane rushed into the room on the second floor and untied Blanche while saying: "Blanche, we are leaving here. Please, help me."
She took Blanche in a coma late at night and fled to the beach.
On the beach, Blanche slept for a long time. When she woke up, she looked at her sister, moved her dry lips, and said sadly:
"I mutilated myself."
Jane's expression slowly became dull, and she slowly looked at her dying sister lying on the beach.
"You didn't drive.
You are too drunk.
I won't let you drive.
I let you open the gate.
I watched you get out of the car.
You were so cruel to me at the party that night.
You imitate me... make everyone laugh at me.
I watched you get out of the car...I want to drive you into a car...
Run you to death.
But you saw the car coming.
I hit the gate. "
This is the truth.
It's different from what Blanche told Jane before. At that time, Blanche told his sister that she had maimed herself.
It's all simple and dry.
"You are terrified.
Just ran away.
I got out of the car and climbed to the gate.
When they found me...
They think it was caused by you.
You were very drunk and confused.
You don't know anything else. "
Blanche continued.
"You weren't ugly then.
I caused you to be like this. "
Until this time, I felt more or less guilty when thinking of Blanche's indulgence in the face of Jane before.
To some extent, she directly ruined the future of both of them.
Baby Jane, who was unkept at the end, held two ice creams circling and dancing on the beach, everyone gathered around her, watching her. She finally became the focus again.
With a sweet smile, even though she still wore pale and terrifying makeup, she gradually became cute.
She will always be the Baby Jane who is not growing up.
Live in your own fairy tale.
Although they grew up together, they never learned to understand each other.
Because of jealousy, people start to be ridiculous.
How many precious things did you miss?
Blanche could not count.
Jane can't count.
They are regretting.
The evil of human nature did not see a drop of blood in the black and white lens. Although it was not terrifying enough, it made my heart chill when I watched it in broad daylight.
Betty Davis and Joan Crawford are like these sisters.
The grievance between them is more intense than that between Jane and Blanche.
For example, in the scene where Jane found Blanche called for help and kicked Blanche, Joan knew that Betty would be real, so she strongly urged the director to use a stand-in, but several shots were close-ups and had to be shot in person. , Betty was not merciless, Joan screamed immediately, and Betty just made an innocent expression to indicate that her sister hadn't touched her yet.
Later, there was a scene where Brandi, who was unconscious, was briefly dragged away from the door. Qiong Ming knew that Betty had a bad back, so he deliberately put on a heavy belt and put a lot of stones in his clothes pocket. This shot was a one-time shot. When it was finished, Betty had to endure the pain and finished the filming. After the end, Betty's back suffered a lot of damage and could not move for four days.
After the Oscar nomination for Best Actress, the two co-operated film "Language Surprise", but only Betty Davis was nominated, but Joan did not, which made Betty happier. Waiting for the moment when the final winner is announced, Betty Davis hangs her whole heart. If it were her, she would have completed an unprecedented three seals. It is a pity that the final queen was awarded to another person, who happened to be Joan Crawford receiving the award on his behalf. Joan held the Golden Man and smiled as if he had won an Oscar for best actress. For Betty, this is the darkest moment of life.
Because Betty and Joan's tearing force in reality made this film that is also tearing awkward to the audience's appetite.
But inside, what is more exciting than their tearing is their gleaming acting skills.
No one knows Betty better than Joan.
No one knows Joan better than Betty.
In 1977, Joan Crawford died.
I don't know if Betty missed this enemy after Joan died.
Have you ever regretted not understanding her?
They have different personalities, but they are of the same kind. They blend into the play and make the characters flesh and blood. The most torn between them is precisely the acting skills.
Rather than saying that they hate each other, it is better to say that they want to get approval from each other.
