In the history of romantic cinema, you need to take the 101st lesson.
If I ask you, "What is your favorite movie about love and romance?" "Which one would you say? I'm afraid you'll want to talk about "The Notebook" or "Titanic," the giant ship of love, without thinking.
Dear fellows, come and listen to what I think when I talk about movies about love. (No, no, don't look at me — look at the screen.) It's not the Dark Ages, I just played a skinny old woman a few years ago. ）
Here are some of the finest screen couples of our time. The following is certainly incomplete, but to take it as the 101st lesson you need to take in the history of romantic cinema, I guarantee that you will no longer be excited by the thought of Nicholas Sparks.
The Thin Man Series (1934)
Starring: Nick and Nora Charles (William Powell and Myrna Loy)
It is said that the couple often stays together and drinks together. Presumably, no couple drinks more when they're together than Nick and Nora Charles, a couple who like to drink and have fun with each other.
Nick, a retired detective, is particularly concerned about his intelligent and lively wife, so he takes her with him to handle the case, after all, it will not affect anything. In addition, in later sequels, they continue to be parents, but extremely unreliable: their children fall asleep in the drawer of the dresser, while Nick continues to pour cocktails for them.
In the film, the clips about their alcoholism use montage methods.
2. The Philadelphia Story (1940)
Starring: Tracy Lord and CK Dexter Haven (Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant)
After my friends told me they hadn't seen the film, I was stunned and immediately sent it to them.
As you might expect, Tracy and Haven are an old lover, so you can try to see what happens between them (could they fall in love again?). As someone who doesn't love spoilers, I didn't say anything. ）。
Although the conversation between them is fragmented, Tracy is intolerant of the fragility of human nature, and CK's opinion on this really touched my heart.
Behind the scenes: Hepburn wasn't very interested in acting until she saw the play adaptation of "High Society." She told the studio owner about the benefits of letting her star, and told Louie B. Mayer, the founder of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, that if Meyer could let her play the lead actress of the show and let her choose the actors to work with, the film would definitely sell at the box office. What a shrewd woman!
No Man Of Her Own (1932)
Starring Babe Stewart and Connie Randall (Clark Gable and Carole Lombard)
We all know that the script of this movie was written by some studio gunmen, hurriedly written, just like other classic movies. But it doesn't matter, in the film, the relationship between the screen couple (also in life), Gable and Lombard makes up for the lack of hasty writing of the script.
There is a scene in the movie called "Lombard on a Ladder", which became a classic after the film aired and promoted the formation of Hollywood etiquette standards. (Don't we all like this kind of movie that has an impact?) In addition, this ladder, where Babe followed Connie through the library shelves, is also a classic.
After Gable and Lombard fell in love during filming, and after Lombard died in a plane accident, Gable said he would never again fall in love with anyone for filming, even though his next filming partner looked like the Lombard he thought about day and night.
4. It Happened One Night (1939)
Starring Peter Warne and Ellie Andrews (Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert)
It's Clark Gable again, but this time with another actress. Similarly, he plays an ordinary journalist who has a relationship in the same car with a rich family. When you look at the scene of the fiery Walls of Jericho, you'll see what I mean.
However, it's a way to drive each other crazy and keep a relationship with each other for years. To do so, from Peter's point of view, when asked if he loved her, he replied that "a normal man cannot live under the same roof as her unless he is mad." ”
Don't we want to know that we have the ability to make the person we love a little crazy?
5． Gone With The Wind (1939)
Starring Scarlett and Rhett (Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable)
Oh, my God! Clark Gable, has worked with almost every famous actress! I don't need to say much about the actress I work with in this film.
As we all know, Rhett Butler said to scarlett, who was blank, "Frankly, honey, I don't care at all. "When, warm and touching. At the same time, it proves that the stronger a woman is, the more likely she is that she needs a man who can make her occasional wayward nonsense.
However, it seems to me that the most classic quote from Bradd is: "No, I'm not going to kiss you, and though I know you especially want to kiss right now, that's your business." You need someone who knows how to kiss and kisses you often.
P.S. Technically, the film was in color, but in 1939, when it was still a black-and-white film, there were still big problems with the technology.
6. Casablanca (1942)
Starring: Ilsa Lund and Rick Blaine (Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart)
This could be another movie you're familiar with, and at the end of the film, the couple is likely to leave the audience deeply sad. Seriously, I think it's all because of Rick's selflessness, he wants to give his lover the best, but can you really let someone go after having a "Parisian romantic love" with someone?
Here's a topic worth debating with your lover: selfishly insisting on being with your lover, or selflessly letting them go, which is the expression of love? Or, perhaps both of these points may have been touched upon for what Rick did, because Eliza never regretted choosing him. Of course, there are many ways to understand the ending of the film.
7. Love With The Proper Stranger (1963)
Starring: Angie Rossini and Rocky Papasano (Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen)
- Who says past movies don't deal with those tough issues? After a one-night stand with Roki, a musician, Angie loses her virginity and becomes pregnant. She searched until she found Roki and then asked him for the name of one of the abortion surgeons (wow!). We talked about what happened next), and the next date happened after they fell in love with each other.
Surprisingly, the dialogue of the characters in the film is so ordinary and unadorned, but it makes the audience see the couple go from strange to in love, and it feels so real.
8. Barefoot in The Park (1967)
Starring: Corrie and Paul Bratter (Jane Fonda and Robert Redford)
"Paul, I think I'm an incompetent wife, but don't be mad at me. I love you very much and I'm sexy at the same time. ”
How nice it would be if every marriage started with such honesty, well, at least married to an honest person. (We are in a world made up by Neil Simon, a newlywed couple with opposite personalities living in a five-story apartment with no elevator, discussing their first year of marriage.) ）
Figuring out how rose-colored romance fits into reality is good for everyone. The film proves that certain characteristics of women can be portrayed vividly, like Corey, played by Jane Fonda, who may be a free and uninhibited person, but she is by no means a fool.
Yes, it's another color movie, but it's also much older than you, kid.
