An angel is not necessarily pure or perfect. The most, no, the only, significant thing, should be her heart.
It’s the first time I took 1 hour 41 minutes without any interruption to watch a movie, a silent movie. And, it is totally worth it.
Without sound, without fantastic modern technologies, nor dazzling colors decors, in general, nothing to abstract me from the basic story telling. Every subtle change on the countenance of the actor and actress, what the director wanted to tell on a particular shot, “enter her world and follow the path of the movie”, it was definitely an a little tiring (at some points, painful) but still enjoyable course.
About the story and characters
Angela, a self-redeemed angel.
1928 USA
Janet Gaynor和Charles Farwell，也是silents后期著名的荧幕情侣了
受到台词的巨响，默片大多摆脱不了melodrama的特点，Street Angel情节丰满，详略得当，除结尾的相遇略显仓促。影片将音乐的功效发挥到最大，渲染、铺垫情绪。全片最动人之处当属Angela与Gino的告别，影片前半部分极力渲染二人贫穷却甜蜜的生活，从二人戏剧性地相遇，画像，到返回那不勒斯，从Angela帮Gino脱鞋子、二人吹口哨等细节刻画二人的幸福时光，与警察带走Angela前Gaynor无声的道别形成强烈的冲击感，节奏张弛有度。男女主二人的演技更不用说，与音乐、摄影相得益彰。
电影课第二次screening的内容。由专门研究默片的教授亲自演奏配乐，这种体验真的很神奇。再次感慨电影创作的魅力。写这种分析一开始很起劲，但写着写着还是会累，毕竟不是作业。
