Author / Hayashi Ono

The good news for you before getting to the point is that the new remake of "Butterfly Dream" was released in the United States four days ago (October 21, 2020). Of course, in view of the special period, it has become a big network - a big movie on the Internet.

According to my own practice, I will not comment on movies I have not seen. It can only be said that the male protagonist of this new version of Mr. Derwent is the kind that can take off his suit and go to the mr. bodybuilder.

Today, I want to talk about the surrounding tidbits of the old version of "Butterfly Dream" in 1940.

This still is the most familiar to Chinese audiences

Last night, I was back in my dreams. I seemed to stop in front of the iron gate, which blocked the way and the road was cut off. Like all dreamers, suddenly, I developed a magical power. Like an elf, he walked through the obstacle in front of him. The main road winds in front of me, still the same. But when I went any further, I realized that it was no longer what it used to be...

In the radio era, we are familiar with this female voice narration, and the back is like a stream.

Although compared with the original sound, Xiang Junzhu's dubbing is more like a small horn starting to broadcast (at one moment the author is a little confused, feeling that I am watching "Slave Girl"), not only losing the color of lazy dreams, even with the bluntness of God's perspective, but still successfully introduce us to the gentle township, together with Mrs. Derwent's joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, sorrow, hatred, stupidity... Or go to sleep with the semiconductor in your arms, or simply sleep all night (who can stand such a goblin sound?). ）。

Mrs. Derwent, who never had a name

Maxim Derwent – a rich man who pretends to be a fake

Today, when the domineering president falls in love with my theme, people after the 70s can smile and shrug their shoulders and skim their lips: What is this? I've seen it before, isn't it "Butterfly Dream"?

This is a movie that has been forgotten by the Internet, but the older generation has a special love for it and has deep feelings

Today, the author picks up the flowers and fills in the various tidbits that have not been reported in the newspaper that year, and says something you don't know.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >1. </h1>

Cinderella is parasitic and high-class

In 1941, Joan Fontaine was nominated for Best Actress for "Butterfly Dream", followed by the next city, and the following year with "Deep Doubt", she won best actress! At this time, she felt that the status of the jianghu had been stabilized, and she had enough POWER in her hands, and began to spit bitterly to the Hollywood media, saying that she had suffered inhuman and terrible treatment in the "Butterfly Dream" crew.

Shadowy alludes to Lawrence Oliver.

But she didn't pick it out, just said that she was alone in the crew to blow out the birthday candle and celebrate her 22nd birthday, and there was no second person next to her.

At that time, the entertainment reporters were quite normal, and her conscience had not been eaten by the dog, only when she was isolated by everyone, did not think about crooked places, and did not write in bad places.

Public opinion was not ignited, and Joan Fontaine could only be in a hurry! In her opinion, the villain must die! Finally jump out on your own!

In 1979, Joan Fontaine finally couldn't hold back and published an autobiography, Rose Without a Bed.

A stone strikes a thousand waves!

This is a magnificent tome that people hate and flowers are defeated, and peers describe this book as a giant python coiled on a crystal lamp!

Because she exposed all her collaborators to the sky!

In the book, she makes a long list of hateful people: hate producers, hate directors, hate actors, hate drama, hate lights, hate tea... And, of course, she didn't forget to hate her old enemy, her own sister Olivia de Havilland.

The sisters hated each other all their lives and did not interact with each other

Of course, Lawrence Oliver is not spared in the book!

Joan Fontaine said: Oliver was dissatisfied with director Hitchcock's abandonment of Fei Wenli, and he never had blue eyes for his lack of style, only fish eyes, and every time he filmed an intimate scene, Oliver would lie down and say dirty words in her ear.

Extremely dirty and obscene!

A little gentlemanly!

Most of the parties choose to ignore this, taking care of him.

The common belly slander is - Joan Fontaine, since you are so morally clean, your career planning can choose to become a watchmaker, so what actor are you doing? Living in groups is too inappropriate for you, or it is better to live alone.

In the early 1980s, it was introduced and published by the China Drama Publishing House

Of course, mean people are not without.

Some people pointed out that Joan Fontaine was a cunning, measuring an iq of 160 at the age of three! She is a licensed pilot, champion balloon player, professional rider, award-winning tuna fisherman, hole-in-one golfer, Le Cordon Bleu chef and licensed interior decorator.

In fact, there was nothing she couldn't solve.

She is acting inside and outside the play, and playing a little pity is her best play!

There are even handwritists who stand up and say that Joan Fontaine writes very densely, and usually the denser the word spacing, the stronger the vigilance and the deeper the heart.

Autographed by Joan Fonden

What is the truth?

With the death of Joan Fontaine on December 15, 2013, at the age of 96, sexual harassment appeared to have become a headless public case.

However, the director of this film has another reason.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > like the male protagonist Maxim, Oliver had a heart that wanted to die</h1>

Mr. Maxim de Winter, Mr. Maxim de Winter

At that time, Lawrence Oliver was also a foot in heaven and a foot in hell!

Supposedly, he was in a good mood at the time, and had just won an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for Wuthering Heights, and then producer David Lee was nominated for an Oscar. O. Selznicksee gave him a $50,000 "Butterfly Dream" film contract, and there was nothing wrong with staying away from the war in Europe.

American version of Wangfu Cliff "Wuthering Heights"

But Oliver's divorce lawsuit with the original partner is in full swing, and the city is full of storms!

Like maxim, the male protagonist in the film, he worries about the bed every day, chicken feathers on the ground, and has a heart that wants to die.

Original wife – Jill Esmond

This marriage can be clarified in one sentence.

Like many Hollywood male film stars, when he was a poor boy with no name, he married Bai Fumei, who had certain social resources. Of course, many people are doing such a thing as redistribution of social resources through marriage, and the most feared thing is that the tail will not fall.

The original Jill is a child from an acting family

The original wife, Named Jill, was also not covered, and a complaint took Oliver to court and pointed out that Fei Wenli was a adulteress (interestingly, vivien Leigh also accused a adulterous woman, Joan Prowright, when she divorced Oliver).

In 1941, the two were newly married, and "Madame Hamil" was filmed.

Jill's gesture is to die together, and if you don't get it, you will destroy it!

Throughout the forties, and for the rest of his life, Jill was liquidating Lawrence Oliver, with the central idea of — if not me, where would you be?

Although all the listeners were deeply attracted to Fei Wenli's beauty and no one listened to her nagging, it was enough to form a psychological impact on Lawrence Oliver.

Gill, like Rebecca in Butterfly Dream, is haunted and becomes Oliver's unquenchable nightmare.

These rushes also became the last straw that crushed Fei Wenli's husband, and the two officially divorced on February 19, 1940.

Less than 10 days later, on February 29, Fei Wenli won the 12th Academy Award for Best Actress for "Gone with the Wind", and it was Lawrence Oliver (anxious) who accompanied her.

On April 12, 1940, "Butterfly Dream" was officially released in the United States, and on August 13 of the same year, Lawrence Oliver and Fei Wenli officially held a wedding.

All the dust settled, and Jill did not remarry until his death.

The Little Red Book published by Joan Fontaine had little influence on Oliver, and at the time of the sexual harassment scandal, the Queen of England insisted on giving him the medal.

In 1981, he was awarded the Queen's Birthday Medal of Honor, his third time.

The Oscars didn't forget him either, and at the 1985 Oscars, where Lawrence Oliver presented the Best Picture Award (Mozart), there was nothing unusual except forgetting to read out the nominated film.

An old artist with both virtue and art

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >3. Butterfly Dreams is hitchcock's first American film</h1>

On September 8, 1939, "Butterfly Dream" officially began filming, just five days ago, on September 3, Britain and France officially declared war on Germany.

Fortunately, the producer Selznick fished Hitchcock out of the British war.

At that time, Hitchcock was 41 years old, and he had no way out except for the United States.

Moreover, the producer he is facing is a Hollywood figure with one hand covering the sky!

However, to Selznick's astonishment, this gentleman not only did not have the frustration and humility of the lost dog, but on the contrary, he was anti-guest- Argue with him on almost everything!

In a word - don't pour a donkey!

Hitchcock seems to have given us some enlightenment in the science of success.

To be a man is not only to have a gentlemanly demeanor, but also to have a chivalrous spirit!

Principles cannot be abandoned at any time!

It is not unreasonable for British entertainers to be able to stand firm and become the main force in Hollywood.

First of all, he quarreled with the producer on the choice of heroine, and cleverly abandoned his unpleasant Fei Wenli (she was too main and not delicate enough), and the reason on the table was that Fei Wenli was black-haired and difficult to be a lighting engineer in a dark mansion.

Selznick, who just finished filming "Gone with the Wind", is also full of pride, and Lao Tzu has money. He said, then let's shoot color film.

Hitchcock rebuffed – NO! Must be black and white!

Selznick had a whim one day, and he hoped that at the end of the film, the Mandley Manor would be on fire, and an "R" shaped cloud of smoke would rise in mid-air.

Hitchcock glanced at him—are you bored?

Selznick didn't want to take care of him, and personally drove around looking for a mansion to shoot, anyway, Lao Tzu had money. Hitchcock said again, let's build a model.

As you can see, the end is really a real estate sandbox!

Most of the exterior of Manderry Manor is a model

Real estate sandbox plus toy cars

Selznick is also angry, he took the sample home to complain to his wife, hoping to use his wife's spiritual strength to make himself determined to fire the director.

However, this lady has a good eye, and after watching the sample film, she packs a ticket to her husband - it will be a wonderful movie!

Hitchcock was the first audience to solve the belly lawsuit about the two protagonists, and his solution was quite creative.

When Joan Fonden ran to the director to complain that Mr. Oliver was not very well-behaved, Hitchcock told her that not only did Mr. Oliver not like you, but the whole crew didn't like you!

Joan Fontaine was so strongly stimulated by these words that she was trembling and sweating throughout the filming.

Of course, the look of pity on her face was exactly what he wanted.

On February 27, 1941, at the 13th Academy Awards, "Butterfly Dream" won the best picture!

Hitchcock's first victory gave the American people a beautiful first impression!

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >4. Rebecca's eldest cousin really committed suicide</h1>

This family is full of ghosts and ghosts

The eldest cousin, Mr. Faivor, appeared in a very special way, first smelling his voice, not seeing his person, holding the pipa and half covering his face.

George Sanders

Rebecca didn't know she had committed suicide, but her eldest cousin, Mr. Faivre, played george, did commit suicide.

Cynical and cynical playboy, although there are countless Hollywood actors, some of whom are more handsome than him, but my favorite is still George Sanders.

Because he performs loosely, he is familiar with it and is at ease.

Other people are acting like what, he is acting what is what.

This is the embodiment of an actor's intelligence being superior to ordinary people.

In my opinion, the reason why he won the Oscar and why he eventually committed suicide was one reason - too smart.

On the side is Monroe. Won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Comet Beauty".

Stills from Comet Beauty

George Sanders left more golden sentences, simply a Hollywood Nietzsche -

Women, dogs and walnut trees, the more you fight, the better they will be.

The show is like skating. Once you know what to do, it is neither stimulating nor exciting.

For celebrities, it's important to have a funny face. He doesn't have to move too much, and the director and cinematographer can always capture the ideal chemistry.

……

Born in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1906, George Sanders moved to London and entered the performing arts world as a choir member.

When he first arrived in England, he met the famous David Nevin.

David Niven, the far right of the movie "Massacre on the Nile"

David Nevin asked him, "Little friend, what do you do when you grow up?" ”

George Sanders replied without hesitation: "I want to kill myself when I grow up!" ”

On April 25, 1972, George Sanders kept his promise and he actually committed suicide.

Rage in Heaven (1941)

George Sanders died a wicked death without warning.

Just days before his death, he sold a property in Mallorca, Spain, at the instigation of a female real estate agent. He then went to a hotel in Barcelona to stop, not expecting to die two days later.

The forensic doctor found five empty Nembutal bottles at his bedside, along with a suicide note that read—

"Dear world, I left because I was bored. I feel like I've lived long enough. In this sweet sinkhole, I have made you happy. Good luck. ”

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >5. </h1>

Mrs. Danfoss of all evil

I think all the cast members of this movie can find spare tires, but Mrs. Danfoss is irreplaceable.

It can be said that there is no wine and no table!

The ghostly atmosphere of Danfoss is not only an uncompromising pressure for the heroine to promote the storyline, but also successfully establishes expectations in the audience's mind, which is fascinating and to the bottom of the matter.

Not only that, But Mrs. Danfoss has contributed a new type of character to the world film industry.

Most viewers will have a question, why didn't the hero fire this villain butler?

Not only was he verbally violent to his wife all day, but the mansion was gone.

The novel is more detailed and believable, and Maxim thinks that if he fired her, she might be suspicious, because Mrs. Danfoss was the only one to see him back home until late at night when Rebecca died. The main thing is that Maxim may not yet realize how perverted Danvers is, because she looks like the ideal housekeeper— silent and rational, and Mrs. Derwent never pours out her feelings to her husband.

In her later years, Judith Anderson was often jokingly played by her younger peers that she started by playing gay, which she dismissed and dismissed.

Mrs. Danfoss is undoubtedly a psychopath, in today's terms, a star-chaser. The kind that needs special rectification.

This morbid cult is undoubtedly a loss of personality.

Mrs. Danfoss's worship of Rebey is the result of an empathetic psychology and self-projection.

In the subconscious of the star-chasers, the idol is just their ideal self.

Mrs. Danfoss constantly portrays Rebecca as beautiful, noble, stylish, intelligent, and brave, repeatedly stressing that what she needs to consolidate in her heart is not Rebecca, but her ideal self. This makes Rebecca proudly bear the primary intrinsic drive of Rebecca's spokesperson after her death.

As Hui can say in the Tantra, it is not the tree that moves, it is not the movement of the flag, but the heartbeat.

Finally, when Mrs. Danfoss learns the truth about Rebecca's death, her idol is no longer perfect, and even her ego is worthless, from halo to disillusionment, and her inner world quickly collapses. So she chose to burn Manderly, burn all the R-shaped items, and burn the jade.

Therefore, those popular little fresh meats do not have to be too proud.

What if you're Marilyn Monroe herself?

People don't love you, but their own lust!

What people love most is always themselves.

Judith Anderson

Judith Anderson, played by Judith Anderson, had a good chance, and such a major play came up with the famous director Hitchcock.

Hitchcock instructed her not to blink the whole time, and Mrs. Danfoss barely walked, seemed to float forever, inadvertently appearing behind the heroine each time, and portraying her in the subjective perspective of Joan Fonden's anxiety.

The character was portrayed quite successfully!

The first pot of gold that amassed fame and fortune for her career.

In addition to Butterfly Dream, Judith has since been nominated for three Oscars, and by the sixties she had become a heavyweight actress with a weekly salary of $60,000.

Hollywood has always had two major gangs, one is the British gang, the second is the Italian gang (the top of the pyramid is the Jews), and the Australian gang has emerged in recent years, represented by Russell Crowe in "Gladiator", and then there is Tom Cruise's ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

However, I think the first person to fight for the face of the Australian gang was Judith Anderson.

On January 3, 1992, at the age of 95, Judith Anderson died of pneumonia in Santa Barbara, California.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >6.Mrs. Van Hopper was the first licensed female attorney in Texas history</h1>

To this day, there are still many Chinese girls who run to the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, just to "meet" with large models, and they will not hesitate to swipe various cards.

In fact, someone has done this before, that is, Mrs. Fan Hopper, the old girl in "Butterfly Dream".

The self-conscious wife, when she first met DeVind, even wanted to cut off her little assistant, Joan Fontaine, so that something could happen to the hero.

The scene conveys several messages, one being that Mr. Derwent is older and older, which is the premise that Mrs. Van Hopper has a non-divided idea.

The second is that Derwent is very old and sophisticated, very good at blocking peach blossoms (not to mention this is a rotten peach blossom).

Third, Dewent became so fond of the heroine that he did not hesitate to offend Mrs. Van Hopper.

A face of flesh came over me

If mrs. Danfoss, the later Manderry butler, was a heavy machine gun, then Mrs. Van Hopper, who warmed up the opening, was a small revolver.

When she learned that her little assistant had soared into the sky and turned into a phoenix and climbed up the high branch, the look of hatred and jealousy on her face was really unforgettable.

So much so that later, when I watched "Farewell to the Overlord", when the brothel bustard asserted that Ju Xian would not have a good ending, I immediately thought of Mrs. Van Hopper!

Florence Bates Florence Bates

The actor Florence Bessa himself is quite talented, and he is a late bloomer, and he entered the film world at the age of 52.

Bessa was born on April 15, 1888, to a family of antique dealers in Texas.

He had excellent academic performance since childhood and was successfully admitted to the bar license in 1914.

She was the first licensed female lawyer in Texas history, and she was only 26 years old.

After the death of her parents, she took over the business and spent a lot of time traveling the world, selling stocks to various plutocrats in Europe (much like Mrs. Van Hopper' travels around the world).

However, after the economic crisis of 1929, the antique shop went bankrupt, and Florence Bessa was completely reduced to a baker by a white rich beauty.

Acting is a profession she had to choose to make ends meet during her hunger and cold.

However, gold shines everywhere it goes.

People who have seen "Butterfly Dream" mistakenly think that she is an experienced veteran actor on the stage, but this is actually only her second appearance on the big screen.

Perhaps, an economic crisis has left the world with one less good lawyer, a good antique dealer, a good baker, but one more good film actor.

< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >7. Derwent's sister has been a well-known British model since she was six years old</h1>

This big sister is the audience's psychological buffer zone

Many viewers questioned the appearance of Dewente's sister, the sister of a big handsome man, should be a big beauty, right?

In fact, why was she not beautiful?

Gladys Cooper is a veteran beauty who has been a child actor since the age of six.

Gladys is the same age as Mrs. Van Hopper as an actress

In my opinion, the director's choice of this actor is a clever move, one is that she is a British gang and has a good ladylike demeanor; in addition, her appearance also symbolizes that the tedium and boredom of aristocratic life will consume any beautiful woman into a dried flower.

Nonsense is not much to say, directly on a few photos of Gladys's beauty at the peak of her appearance -

Of course, friends who have watched "The Lady" will be deeply impressed by this old beauty.

Stills from the movie "Lady of the Woods"

In 1967, she was awarded the Order of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) for her outstanding acting skills.

Of course, in order to create an atmosphere in this Gothic style film, some actors made visual sacrifices and tried to move closer to the corpse. For example, the homeless man who impressed everyone- Ben, the good and gentlemanly actor Leonard Carey, became like this.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >8.How is a movie different from a novel? </h1>

Daphne du Maurier (1907–1990)

In the novel, Mr. Derwent is the one who shot Rebecca, and yes, he is the murderer. However, the film could not be performed in this way, and the conditions at that time did not allow it;

Second, in the original work, Mrs. Danfoss is Rebecca's housekeeper (similar to the Zhou Rui family, Mrs. Wang's confidant in "Dream of the Red Chamber"). She single-handedly raised her and was the source of the evil of Rebecca's obedient personality. The film downplays this concept, but there are still hints from Mrs. Danfoss's recollection of Rebecca's torture of a horse when she was 14 years old;

At the end of the film, Mrs. Danfoss becomes an arsonist, but the novel ends in an open-ended ending, and Mrs. Derwent just waits silently in front of the fireplace, unsure of what Mrs. Danfoss is going to do.

As soon as the book was published in 1938, it was written by David M. Thompson. O. Selznick bought the copyright for $50,000.

Originally, director West End Kirk wanted to buy it, but he didn't have the money. In 1939 he had already made another of Daphne's novels, Jamaican Inn.

Daphne Dumurier was 31 years old when she published Rebecca, and the Manderly Estate in the film Butterfly Dream is located in Cornwall, southwest England, which is Daphne's hometown.

<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >9. "Butterfly Dream" brought a hot plot, and then 267 movies flocked to it</h1>

Many friends who like to buy a house overseas know that there is a good piece of land in Southern California - Palos Verdes, the housekeeper of the movie "Butterfly Dream", Mrs. Danfoss used the house as firewood here.

De Monte Bay, California

The opening chapter calls Montrol in southern France just the island of Santa Catalina in California

Palos Verdes was a desolate suburb before, and the first film to be filmed here was 1932's "The Most Dangerous Game", which did not make a small splash, and then abandoned for another seven years.

Stills from 1932's The Most Dangerous Game

In the fall of 1939, Palos Verdes made a second film, Butterfly Dream, which became famous. Various crews have flocked to it, and as of today, there are already "Double Compensation", "Chinatown", "Adams' Values", "Thunderbolt Baby", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Inception"... 296 films before and after, including and so on, were filmed here.

Directly fried the land!

<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >10. There are irritating coincidences between the movie Citizen Kane and Butterfly Dream</h1>

Stills from the movie Citizen Kane

The film had a huge impact on Citizen Kane (1941) – both of which used deep-focus photography.

Textbook-level deep focus photography

Both films have mansions — Mandree in this film and Cindola Manor in Citizen Kane.

Rebecca and Kane both died, and their lives were described by others from different perspectives.

Both Rebecca and Kane have marital deviance.

Mrs. Danfoss in the film and Mary Kane in Citizen Kane wear similar costumes, and the behavior of both characters is also cold.

Butterfly Dream ends with a burning pillow with a large "R" on it, while Citizen Kane ends with a burning sleigh printed with a "Rose Bud" on it.

At the end of "Butterfly Dream", all the R words are burned

Well, today's old movie around for everyone to talk about here, I wish you a happy weekend!
