罗马假日英文摘抄

"Roman Holiday" (1953) is the quintessence of romantic comedy. All the ingredients are there: a young, innocent princess trying to taste life; a broken middle-aged journalist trying to refill his wallet and... ROME, its monuments, people, music and wine! What else do we need? William Wyler was a shrewd director author of many outstanding movies as: "Wuthering Heights" (1939), "The Best Years of Our Lives" (1946) or "Ben-Hur" (1959) amongst others. He won three times Best Director Oscar and was nominated nine more times for the same award between 1937 and 1966. He delivers here a movie-champagne: fresh, exhilarating and yet... moving. The story opens showing the oppressing life and schedule that a very young Princess Ann must bear thru her protocolar visit to Rome. She decides to escape that night furtively and experiment "real life". In another corner of Rome a bunch of press-men are playing cards. Joe is an experimented and bohemian American reporter, who loses almost all his money to his grateful friends. Both characters meet that in a roman plaza. Princess is under a sedative effect, Joe come to her rescue believing she is drunk and tries to leave her in charge of a taxi driver until she recovers. No way! Fate has designed Joe as her Guardian Angel! Next morning Joe discovers who she really is and tries to get the "exclusive" for him and his photographer, without telling Ann who they are. From that point on a joyful "Roman Cavalcade" starts: Trevi's Fountain, Coliseum, Roman Forum, picturesque street market, crazy motorcycle ride, Police Station and finally a ball on a ship, fist fight included. Voila! Audrey Hepburn is a real Angel floating over Rome! She transmits an exact balance to her character, which will indelibly remain in every spectator's mind and heart. She won her only Oscar with this performance. Gregory Peck is marvelous delivering an unusual (for him) romantic personage. Special mention must be done for the beautiful B&W photography in charge of two European cinematographers: Henri Alekan (also responsible for "The Battle of the Rail" (1946)) and Franz Planer, 150 films between 1920-1962 and five Oscar nominations, including this film. For me it was very interesting to compare the present view of Rome with the one given by Fellini in his "La Dolce Vita" (1960).
