In fact, Rome should indeed award Li Yi an Honorary Citizen of Rome Award, because after the hit "Roman Holiday", this ancient city suddenly became a holy place for countless people to travel.
According to a netizen: "Although I don't expect to meet a princess, but what if it happens?"
The romance of a city is of course not limited to love.
But the fact is that if people go there more, they can always gain something there, such as love!
The attractions that appear in the movie have also become holy places for countless tourists, especially the Wishing Wall, the Mouth of Truth, etc.
There are also street cafes, although they are very different from those in the movie.
But it doesn’t stop everyone from checking in!
At the same time, there are also many stories about people who went to Rome to find romantic love. Many people did not find it and did not encounter the so-called romantic love, but there were also people who spent a romantic holiday there.
As these news spread, Dean Films naturally would not miss such a good publicity opportunity, so it once again boosted the box office of "Roman Holiday".
On the other hand, Princess Estella was released from house arrest. Although the royal family was still protesting, the intensity of the protest was greatly reduced.
Because there is indeed nothing bad about "Roman Holiday", and on the contrary, it created a new image for Princess Estella and became a representative of people's status as a princess.
There are many princesses in the world, but now when everyone mentions princess, the first one that comes to mind is Princess Estella.
As for "Roman Holiday", due to various reasons, although this film did not reach the heights of the world in Li Yi's memory, it is also known as a love classic.
More people are analyzing why such a seemingly ordinary movie has received such high praise and box office?
Just because of Princess Estella's appearance?
Maybe, but no one is a fool!
Because more people are discussing the movie itself!
And if you watch the movie carefully, many people will find that this movie is actually not new in terms of plot and plot, but it has achieved such a great success.
Someone attribute it to the details!
"Roman Holiday is a movie that you can clearly guess from the plot development to the ending after watching the beginning, but it is still attractive enough to watch without missing a scene. The movie is deeply touching, but it will not make you cry.
, there is just a faint tasteless mixture in the throat. Where does this kind of magic come from?
When we watch the movie, we feel regretful, but not sad. Why?
Although it seems like an ordinary movie, it can receive so many praises. Why?
Is it just because Princess Estella, a real princess, plays the role?
Maybe there is part of the reason, but I think it is more due to the ubiquitous details in the movie.
A good story is not necessarily a good story, but there must be someone who can tell it. Director Li Yi is undoubtedly a person who knows this well. The stories in every movie seem ordinary, but he doesn't care.
The details can still make people talk about it after reading it!
At the beginning of the movie, the most impressive thing is that the little princess quietly relaxed her toes and accidentally dropped her shoes. Her naughty nature made her debut. Watching her unable to find her shoes, but trying to keep her face from showing off, her expression changed rapidly, and I couldn't help but feel...
People couldn't help but laugh. After the interview, she still didn't put on her shoes, which made the audience really sweat for her.
However, after noticing the problem with the shoes, the various ladies and generals around the princess were surprised and chose to ignore it and dance. This kind of coldness made people surprised and at the same time felt extremely sympathetic to the little princess's experience.
At this critical moment, the little princess put on her shoes and gave the audience a safe landing. The director's skill is evident. Just the beginning is brilliant. Does the subsequent "Drunken Princess" clip remind you of director Li Yi?
In another movie, a certain savage girlfriend's "drunk" process is exactly the same, but it makes people laugh a bit to see two grown men shirk each other's cute girls. Compared to the savage girlfriend, only in the part where they take the wrong stairs, Rome
It was a complete victory. The cuteness of the little princess directly touched the hearts of the audience.
Here, the first detail is that the princess relaxes her toes. This detail is very, very interesting and crucial, because this detail shows that the princess’s restrained surface hides a lively and agile heart.
She doesn't like any of this!
The reporter played by Zhou Guo is obviously a seasoned reporter. He tells lies at the drop of a hat, is quick to respond, and extremely alert. He is a silly friend who takes pictures, always taking a few shots slowly, and exists just to set off!
The first scene between the male and female protagonists, which is also the climax of the whole film, is when the princess gets up. Pay attention to the expressions of the two people at this time, a smile, a trembling of the corner of the mouth, and the relief at the end. There are countless wonderful things in it. Be sure to
It takes you several times to fully understand it. Under the careful arrangement of the director, the communication of expressions is better than words. It seems like a person talking to himself or a witty ridicule, complementing each other. Isn't there a kind of pleasure in reading the character's heart?
The most difficult thing for an actor is that in addition to expressing the princess's thinking process, the elegance of the ladies is also looming in the nods and smiles. The beauty of the eyes can only be experienced by the audience.
After the classic street riot, the second wave of climax ushered in. The appearance of agents, the same clothes, hats and briefcases, even the expressions were the same, and they claimed to be plainclothes. It really insulted the reputation of Bond and other fancy agents.
.
On the dock, pay attention to Zhou Guo's expression. He has long been aware of the arrival of these obvious men in black. He has not yet awakened the consciousness of the protagonist, but he just feels that his work is about to be over. However, when the little princess was caught, he shouted
When the first sentence was his own name, he might have rushed over instinctively and took the risk to rescue the princess. When the two of them looked at each other and smiled even though their clothes were wet, they understood that it was not only their identity, but also a kind of trust. In a moment of muscle
The stiffness ignited sparks, and it was the details.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the end of the movie, the last adventure the princess can take is a greeting, a handshake, and a look at each other. Whether the light shining in the princess's eyes is joy or sadness is no longer important.
It's Rome, and the important thing is that the love in this day becomes eternal.
There are countless details of expressions in the movie. While I lament the director's pursuit of perfection, I also feel sorry for the impetuousness of current movies. Perhaps what the audience needs more than vulgar laughter is a knowing smile."
Thousands of people have thousands of faces, and a thousand people will have a thousand thoughts when watching a movie.
People's preferences for "Roman Holiday" are equally diverse.
Some people think that the movie is better in its details, while others think that the movie is better in its ending.
Some people also think that the participation of Princess Estella raised the level of this movie.
A popular movie review on the Internet wrote: "In the past hour, do you think it seemed cliché and ordinary from the current perspective?
A princess who was restricted to madness ran away to the city and met a poor boy, a childish and indulgent enjoyment of life!
A typical diaosi counterattacks Bai Fumei! Such a story can be said to be so cliché that online novels are no longer popular.
And what happens after that?
When the poor boy's character becomes a character who deceives the princess for money, the impression of "he is a scumbag" will lead to not having a good impression of the male protagonist!
At least, I did not have a good impression of the male protagonist at first. After all, before I knew she was a princess, what the male protagonist did was very vigilant, but indeed not gentlemanly enough. Of course, some people may say that he has already done
Very good.
After all, you didn’t take advantage of the situation! But overall, it’s still not perfect, right?
But what really caught my attention, amazed me, and shocked me was the ending of the movie.
In my personal opinion, it can be said that it really plays a finishing touch!
Because of this ending, this childish, playing-house-like experience has been elevated to "childlike innocence defeats reality, and natural and heartfelt love surpasses all external appearances, whether it is peaks or troughs"!
When the male protagonist chooses to return the photo to the princess instead of exchanging him for the huge amount of money that he deserves, the male protagonist's motivation here hides a deep psychological design!
The male protagonist chooses to hand over photos for money = stick to the original intention and meet the predetermined goals, it is reasonable and reasonable!
The male protagonist chose not to pay to keep the photos = there is something more important than taking money right now, love!
How much love is there? If you choose to hand over photos and receive money, can you also bless this love?
If you can get money and truly love the other person, why not?
Yes, but "handing over photos for money" means a risk, which can only be considered for her when you love her!
It means "it will affect people's negative view of you, make you unable to maintain the nobility of a princess, and cause you to fall into the eternal fall of your true identity"!
Only by considering this aspect can you make the choice of "no money".
The essence of this choice is: sacrificing reality in exchange for a seemingly void but warm soul.
This is one of the reasons why this movie is so charming!
Of course, it is said that the male protagonist Zhou Guo returned the photos to the princess, but that is not necessarily true. He just chose to give up using them to make money.
It is worth mentioning here that Ivan, the photographer's bad friend, can be said that his previous performance is really ridiculous, giving people the impression that he is a silly and cute character, and in the end, with his hands
Returning the photo to the princess made the character sublime in the same way.
The photo was in his hand. Zhou Guo's decision, as a friend, also fulfilled his friend!
In this way, we also feel the preciousness of friendship and why two people become friends!
It basically never happens in reality, but when we see something like this happen, we can instinctively think it is a wonderful thing.
This ability to perceive "it is a beautiful thing" does not need anyone to teach it, it is naturally hidden in our hearts.
No matter how long we forget it in real life, it can actually be awakened at any time, because it is a part of our body and mind.
Being able to dig out and weave this layer of emotion, starting from the creative motivation, is destined to be deeply rooted in people's hearts!
Not to mention that the director used almost seemingly bland lens language to present extremely warm emotional expressions!
My favorite two places are at the end.
The first moment is the handshake: a very long shot, which at first glance would appear to be long and drawn-out.
But if you have been following the development of the story and feel this point, a sense of nervous anticipation will arise in your heart, as if you have entered the body of the male protagonist, experiencing this waiting with him, silently counting the days when the heroine will leave.
I have a few people: "7...6...5..."
At the same time, you can also feel that the princess must suppress her urge to shake hands quickly, and must remain patient.
And when it was my turn to shake hands with him, the two simple greetings seemed particularly emotional.
To be honest, when I saw this scene, I kept guessing what would happen when they shook hands?
But in the end, the director's way of handling it is amazing! There is no better picture than this. They all have eyes for each other, but they must maintain restraint, as if they are no different from everyone else.
We can imagine that when Princess Anne holds the person behind her, she will definitely have the desire to go back to Zhou Guo and continue to influence her.
The experience here is so magical. It seems that there is an invisible but powerful rubber band that first tries to pull the two people closer, but one force prevents them from getting closer; then it pulls back hard as the two people get farther and farther away, but another force
A force always prevents the pull back.
You may even feel that the rubber band will suddenly break at any moment, and the two of you will hug each other tightly!
But obviously, no!
Because she is a princess, she must exercise restraint at this moment!
Because he likes her, he must restrain himself at this moment!
The second scene is of Zhou Guo walking out of the palace.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The princess's speech was over and everyone left. Zhou Guo was reluctant to leave, staying at the end and slowly turned around and left.
He didn't look back during the entire first half of the process, but as an audience, you would want to look behind him at any time to see if the princess would suddenly run out and call him to stop...
To produce this effect, lens language plays a very big role.
The director deliberately moved Zhou Guo's position slightly to the right, leaving the center of the podium at the lower center of the screen. This obscured position attracts the audience's attention and makes them feel that the protagonist is walking away with his feet and thinking about it in his heart.
After getting dressed.
After walking a short distance, the director moved the protagonist to the center of the camera, completely covering the stage behind it.
You will naturally feel that the protagonist seems to have chosen to let go, and the thought "there are certain things that I don't want to do anymore, it must be impossible" appears in my head.
And not long after this shot, the director deliberately moved the protagonist to the right side of the screen...
The desire to pay attention and care about whether she would appear on the stage naturally fell into the hearts of the audience. What was even more amazing was that at this time, the director asked the actor to slowly slow down and look behind, as if he could see something.
The male protagonist's heart at this time: That "hope" is already far away from me. That "hope" seems very small and vague.
The above sentence sinks directly into the picture, and the stage symbolizing "hope" looks very small and blurry.
These two shots look really dull and lengthy!
But at the end, it can extremely express the climax of emotional entanglement. It seems that the plain shots are full of emotional warmth!
Because at this moment, he knew that after this separation, only memories remained of each other!
These shots are so flavorful!
The ending of "Roman Holiday" is not only full of emotional warmth in design, but also brings a simple and clear soul baptism of "this kind of sincere love is so good".
In every era that is full of "real problems are important and need to be given priority", you can still truly realize that you are actually just pretending to be an adult, and you can still have the pure emotional experience of a child in your heart, which will basically be ignored.
the truth.
Because when I grow up, I want to make money. I need to meet some established rules when getting along with others, and then become more and more like an "adult"!
And have you really fallen in love with a lover who will make you sacrifice a lot of money?
The ending of "Roman Holiday" did not allow the two to truly be together, but this does not affect our judgment that such a relationship is sincere and worth pursuing.
The ending of "Roman Holiday" is like a friend saying: "Maybe I didn't get it, but I hope you will have such an emotional experience!"
