Tonight, revisiting the classic "Roman Holiday" in the history of Oscar black and white films, I was suddenly touched by the warmth in my heart, and I still wanted to write something. This love masterpiece, co-starring Gregory Pike and Audrey Hepburn, is a memory of an era and a love fate that will never be out of date.
Roman holidays
The black and white picture that highlights the sense of the film's era does not affect the pink atmosphere emitted by this movie. There are no ups and downs in the movie, but it is full of warmth in every detail.
One is a princess of a European principality, the other is a reporter for a newspaper, destined to be a man of two worlds, but they have come together by mistake.
The plot is simple, fed up with red tape and tight schedules, the princess, like a lark in a cage, escapes from her mansion by night during a visit to Rome and meets the down-and-out Agency reporter Bradley. Originally, it was an ordinary shoulder-to-shoulder rubbing, but because Bradley realized that she was a princess, she began a different "Roman journey". Bradley's original intention is not simple, he hopes to get the princess's lace news, so as to get a huge remuneration from the newspaper, he accompanies the princess to smoke cigarettes, eat ice cream, ride a motorcycle, watch the wishing wall, fight at the riverside dance, and let the friend photographer secretly take every lace photo that can attract the eye...
Hepburn's footage of himself shuttling through the city of Rome has also become a classic clip in the history of cinema. The scenic streets of Rome, paired with the smiles of beautiful people, are pleasing to the eye.
No one expected that the original "conspiracy" day together would make the two people fall in love. In the end, when the princess walked back into the cage for national duty, Bradley chose to abandon the report and gave the photo to the princess.
After watching the film, you may have to consider, which one will you choose between short-term pleasure and permanent dullness?
Perhaps at the beginning of the film, a sentence from Dr. Bona has given us the answer:
As you wish, even a moment is the joy of life.
The embodiment of sincere love is not limited to the length of time. Roman holidays are the most beautiful form of love in The Grace of Synor. A laugh, a hand, a hug, a little bit, is enough to taste it for a lifetime.
We often say that because a person falls in love with a city, at the end of the story, a reporter asks, "Which city has impressed you the most in so many countries that the princess has visited?" At that time, the princess, who was just beginning to get used to the official answer, said, "Every city has its own characteristics..." And then, she said categorically, "Rome!" ”
Here, not only is the memory of the city, but also the deepest love for a person.
There is not a single line about love in the whole movie, and even when Bradley has a sentence to tell the princess, the princess hugs him and begs him not to say, as for what the hero wants to say, the audience can go to the bold guess, no need to say more, the king knows.
When I know that the good will be broken, it is really better to see each other than to miss it.
