Some films, whose value and emotion have gone beyond the story itself, are more like a complex film, it's more like a song, and for some, it's a time to say goodbye. August "The Whale" is such a movie that is an image of two beautiful daughters in black and white, and dazzlingly, two big and clumsy old women. Playing two veteran actors, one named Betty Davis, 79, and one named Lillian Gisch, 84, they represent the peak of their golden age film and television careers, and when they are old, they meet in this movie, providing more than just a little sister in the movie Love sun is so simple.
"Whale" in August is the true meaning of Betty Davis and Lillian Gisch's last film, and although Betty later starred in a film, she was basically not involved more because she was in poor health. Both are the preeminent actors in the history of Hollywood, Lillian Kissh, the queen of Hollywood's silent film era, who appeared on screen at the age of 16. Griffiths, one of the first film masters, made her the first actress in the history of cinema. Her screen image, pure and sweet, has a pitiable charm, it's a typical image of the early films, and she and her sister Dorothea Gish make up history of people who talk about sisters a pair of flowers. "Whale" August, the openness of the black and white images, the style and lighting effects, is the feeling of the silent film era of dancing girls inside also made me suddenly think of Lillian Gisch in the silent classic image. In contrast, Betty Davis created the image of a female actor, and in my mind, from the 1930s to the 1960s, she offered a role that surprised me, undoubtedly at the forefront of the contemporaneous actresses. If Audrey Hepburn stands for elegance, Catherine Hepburn stands for independence, and Marilyn Monroe represents a sense of representation, then Betty Davis can represent evil. Yes, when other actors took on a "positive" role, Betty played the sinister, snakey, but complex character Kyo, from "Little Fox" to "Beautiful" Comet, and Joan Crawford from the play outside the play "Boudoir Dead Bump", she made a deeper ups and downs, these 10 extremely cruel and ruthless roles, won the Oscar nomination for Best Actress, 2nd prize, the first female president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honors is the first female president to know its role and status best.
In the month of "Whale", the contrast of the two characters in the actor's final collaboration, however, in which the elder Lillian Gisch is playing a blind sister, taking care of Betty Davis's sister. Such an arrangement is appropriate because psychologically, Betty is Billy Even looking old, you know Betty suffered breast cancer in 1983, and a series of strokes, after a long period of treatment, and caused a lot of harm to the other party more than her emotional daughter. So, in the movie the sister said it is not clear, and the slower is the true portrayal of Betty's physical condition, but her temperament is still a continuation of an old style, she just plays, has not yet appeared, impatient and anxious voice makes me laugh, haha, this is definitely Betty Davis debut. And she is still like a character as always, impatient, mean words, making people look nostalgic. Lillian Gish is a good sister, caring for the sick, also receiving guest houses, and players and other major matters of choice are not to sell the house anymore, and the sister finds a better place. For a film like this, the plot and dramatic conflict don't seem to be the most important, and we see more life, the affairs of the two sisters mixed with quarrels and friends, and memories of memories. The overall feeling is serene and serene, there is nothing special about the architecture that makes people nervous, excited or touched, the scene is the cottage, the sea, the characters also have some, but look great feeling. I really like the ending. The two old ladies supported each other and looked up at the sea. They are beautiful and quiet, and the years are gone, but their elegance remains.
Betty Davis and Lillian Gish, two actresses in the era of black and white films in the silent film era, Lillian Gish, witnessed the rise of a new art form that changed the world of entertainment. Times continue to move forward. Cinema is always changing in terms of technology, expressiveness and public taste, and in every era, actors have left their names in the history of cinema. Betty Davis and Lillian Gisch were great actors of time and influenced later actors, and Elizabeth Taylor admired Betty Davis. The two actors left the world in 1989 and 1993, leaving behind scenes for the movie and the characters, the big screen.
