Wouldn't it be better to use a cat on a hot tin roof?

Because of work, I was on duty yesterday, because I don’t have a girlfriend or wife, so I’m still on duty today.

Originally, I only thought that Elizabeth Taylor was supporting "The Cat on the Hot Tin Roof" alone. Now I want to come. At that time, after watching this movie in an unmanned classroom, I felt that the male protagonist was really handsome and thorough, classically beautiful, Rome The temperament of a gladiator, mixed on his face like a kiss blown on the lake.

The beauty is rare, so it is easy to forget, but the more popular beauty is still hanging on the inside pages of the magazine and exerting its commercial value.

The hero’s white head is not terrible. When George Clooney got married at the age of 53, his appearance was no different from the doctor played in "Friends" 20 years ago. He gave birth to a dragon and phoenix in the third year of marriage. Tire, who said that a good-looking man is not easy to use? That's just the fox's trick to persuade people. In the same way, even if Paul Newman is getting older, his appearance is still charming, and his good-looking DNA really looks good even with wrinkles.

Paul Newman, if it wasn't for yesterday that I suddenly thought of Elizabeth Taylor, then thought of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", and then thought of a male protagonist in this movie, I might not have thought of this male actor. On Valentine’s Day today, I discovered that both "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" that I watched by myself in college came from the same playwright Tennessee Williams, and he looks like this.

The screenwriter was born in the middle of the last century when homosexuality was not accepted, and has been designing obscure homosexual plots in the script to protect himself and reflect society. This is also understandable. While the completely heterosexual screenplay adaptation of the film has achieved great success, the screenwriter has always been dissatisfied with the film. You know, before the opening, the director and actors were full of confidence in the movie. In the end, the Oscars won 7 out of 0. I have to say that even Elizabeth was frustrated. You must know that she put down her three children at home and was widowed. The heroine's performance was completed brilliantly in the shadow. However, the subsequent "Cheat in Cheat" was a good way to get back a city.

Paul Newman is different from Marlon Brando, a white undershirt with muscles in his appearance. The latter is often unable to control himself and destroys himself in the second half of his life. Paul Newman is self-sufficient and restrained, but "The Cat on the Hot Tin Roof" is for everyone to watch. When it comes to a roaring and hysterical male athlete, although the movie completely castrates the male protagonist from the homosexual complex in the original, it still leaves the audience with a lot of room for imagination.

The absolute protagonist in the film is hard to tell whether it is Elizabeth or Newman. The rivalry between the two of them runs through the film. Elizabeth's graceful figure of 26 years and 34-year-old Paul Newman, there is no age gap between the two. Newman always keeps his chin down, showing the actor's complicated and contradictory heart with unintelligible eyes. A man is running in a stadium hurdles, the night is soaking his clothes, but the warmth of summer comes out of the picture, and he sees through him. That heat. Elizabeth was not the only cat on the hot tin roof, and it was more than a cat who was completely at a loss.

Paul Newman has long passed away, but the wealth he left to future generations is huge. Whether it is the charity he has persisted in his life or the film he left to Hollywood, he can be called the perfect Valentine's Day lover.

Thank you for the actor's company today.

    It was really thrilling to play this side ball. Seeing that it was about to stage an awkward come-out drama, the jade lady’s sweet voice and tone changed abruptly, and she turned to the bedside fighting with a scene of Yingying and Yanyan at the end of the bed. Tennessee is very dissatisfied with this adaptation, but the lines are already very powerful, and the director's tuning is also a fairy-level. The most fascinating performance was on the old man. In the same year, he was nominated to win the Oscar for Best Actor with another film, which is amazing. At first, I felt that Tennessee's dramas were so noisy and misogynistic. After half an hour, I gradually became better, and the dog-blood ethics drama was greatly changed. The philosophy of life was amazing and very profound. You can fear marriage and marriage clubs and fear the world, but as long as you live for a day, you can endure, change, and surpass. I haven't output this kind of values ​​in the movies I've watched before. I thought about it after the movie, but it was not at all simple and practical.

    Barely two points. An ancient homosexual theme, but also a bloody drama of wealthy inheritance competition made up for the common people. The story is basically limited to one day, with a strong sense of stage drama. The movie is meant to speak for homosexuality. Newman has no interest in inheriting the inheritance because he has no descendants, and his sister-in-law, who has given birth to a bunch of deformed cubs, is naked in front of her father-in-law. To put the audience in Newman's shoes. But the movie is limited to the era, and the performance of homosexuality is extremely obscure - the reason for Newman's alcoholism and decadence was not revealed until 40 minutes later, and his friendship with his father also concealed his failure to straighten out their emotional relationship. Are you not gay? The father and son sat down for three or two sentences to understand, and the father here is actually very tolerant - this can be done in life, but the movie does not dare to shoot this way, this theme is completely exposing the shortcomings of the movie. The characters don't seem to understand the reason for their painful situation, and they just keep making noises, and the audience already knows it. Newman's final transformation is also very abrupt

That fertility monster, she's downright odious to him, I can tell. That's the second thing we've got on our side. He likes me.
