Triple A Movie Review: Roman Holiday (1953)

Although this film is pretty old, it is still an awesome movie. The first time I watched this film is when I was having an English class with my classmates. My English teacher is a big fan of Audrey Hepburn. The film "Roman Holiday" was directed by the famous director William Wyler. It caused a sensation in the Western world and received many praises. In addition to the praise of the critics, it has also fascinated countless fans. At the same time, "Roman Holiday" also made Hepburn a rising star. Although she is much older than me, I really like her. The film tells a touching love story of only two days. The British girl Princess Anne visited Rome, and she sneaked out of the bureaucracy because of the disgusting court. She was interviewed by her tabloid reporter Joe on the street.

The two of them visited the ancient city together. This is the first time that Ann was free to take advantage of the city's well-being, and was deeply attracted by the folk taste and loved Joe. But at the same time, after experiencing a day in Rome, Princess Ann also realized her responsibility to the country and resolutely returned to the embassy. Finally, she ​​decisively abandoned her love for her own responsibility, leaving a regrettable memory.

The film "Roman Holiday" shows the details of the emotional transformation between the princess and the reporter and the difference in their status. The director brings a romantic emotional experience to the audience with clever and playful lens, and creates a strong and fragrant warm atmosphere for the film. It can be said that until today, the movie "Roman Holiday" is still a classic that cannot be copied. Thanks to the perfect interpretation of Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Pike, as well as the director's wonderful portrayal and ingenious play structure, the film has a strong image quality, but also shows the director's sophisticated and mature lens language.

For the actor, Audrey Hepburn was born into a noble beauty. Since she grew up and enjoyed good educational and cultural resources, and she is also familiar with ballet, she is elegant and lively. The temperament matches the princess role played in the play. At the same time, the film subtly blends the elements of various lens aesthetics, and feels that the director's proper measurement of the scale is both pleasant and good to show the sadness and painful feelings in love. "Roman Holiday" first uses the effect of comedy and the beautiful lens language to make this love gradually climax, and then lift the regrets of emotions and thoughts to make it stay at a point of climax, let the audience remember and produce emotions. Common, thus showing the infinite charm of the film story.
