Audrey Hepburn , is a British actress I really like. From his debut at the age of 19 to his death at the age of 63, he has left many beautiful and unforgettable screen images for the world. In 1953, the American romance comedy " Roman Holiday " starring her is a classic among the classics, and some movie fans say that she "don't get tired of it if she loops for a hundred times." At the age of 24, she won the Best Actress Award at the 26th Academy Awards of for this film. Before this, Hepburn was still unknown. After this film caused a sensation around the world, Hepburn's hairstyle and clothing in the play once became a trend. The actor who played the male lead in the film was Gregory Parker, the famous Hollywood at that time. His maturity and handsomeness are perfect for Hepburn's purity and cuteness. In an interview with reporters, Parker said, "Roman Holiday is Hepburn's, I'm just a supporting role." What kind of movie can make Hepburn famous overnight and make the audience forget it? The plot tells the story of a princess from a European country visiting Rome, Italy, briefly encountering an American journalist, falling in love and separation. The regrettable ending is a highlight. The film's expression of the blending of sadness and joy, and the natural and sincere performance style of the male and female protagonists is also a major highlight. And behind all this, there is also the place that truly touches the audience's soul. That is thinking about love, freedom, and the beautiful qualities in human nature. And these are precisely the most valuable luxury goods in our lives, which cannot be measured by money, and even cannot be driven by our will.
01
Freedom is a luxury yearning We often hope to live carefree and unrestrained. But in life, who can really be free and unrestrained? In the movie "Roman Holiday", Princess Anne (Audrey Hepburn) from a European country is the heir to the future throne. It can be said that she is young and has a prominent position. The princess visited cities in various European countries, and wherever she went, people welcomed her, and the momentum was huge. Princess Anne, accompanied by the ministers, treated all the guests with her respects, and kept repeating "Hello", "Thank you!" "I'm so happy to see you!" Her facial muscles were so tired that they were almost stiff. Because he stood for too long, the princess's feet were sore. She wanted to sit down when she saw the chair, but was stopped by a look from the minister. The beautiful princess who is just young and young is also as cute as a girl. Under the cover of the long skirt of the floor, secretly kicked off one high heel and put one foot on the other to relieve fatigue. After a day of visit to Rome, the princess wished she could lie down on the bed and sleep immediately, but she was arranged by the female minister to drink milk and eat biscuits, although this was not what she wanted. After using up the midnight snack, the minister wanted to report to her on her work schedule the next day. The princess finally collapsed, and her kindness turned into furiousness, and her fatigue and boredom made her unable to fall asleep. By age, she is still a child, like all boys and girls, with a naive, curious, lively and active nature. Her identity does not allow her to live according to her preferences, and is bound by the red tape of the palace every day, but she has no right to resist. You can't wear your favorite pajamas, attend young people's open-air dances, come to ancient Rome, or even see the true face of the city. ’s true freedom is not to do whatever you want, but to do whatever you don’t want to do. Princess Anne was still unable to suppress her inner dissatisfaction and anxiety after being injected with sedatives. She avoided the gatekeeper and bravely escaped from the embassy. Princess Anne, who escaped, meets the American young reporter Joe (played by Gregory Parker). The princess boldly cut her hair short, ate ice cream on the streets of Rome, and drank coffee with Joe on the side of the road. Do whatever she wants, as she hoped. They rode their motorcycles and rushed around the streets, made wishes under the wishing wall, went to the river to attend a dance party, and fought with plainclothes who came to find her. The princess was like a bird in the sky, completely letting herself go. She felt the freedom and happiness she had never had before. In the eyes of ordinary people, the life that the princess yearns for is so simple and unremarkable, but as a noble princess, she has no chance to experience it. Although she has an aura of great glory and a life of luxury, she is not proud or happy about it. The most beautiful time for a person is a time of freedom, the best day in his life is an unrestrained time. Whether you are a high-ranking official or a commoner, everyone is restricted by one or another rules and regulations. No one can obtain pure freedom. Freedom is the most expensive luxury. Many people strive to win greater freedom throughout their lives. Just like Princess Anne, we all have our own life we yearn for, but our goals are different and our limitations are different. The audience found resonance in the film. In the face of freedom, everyone has helplessness. In life, everyone has no choice. After experiencing the short sweetness of love, the princess had to return to the palace and continue to perform her duties. Joe had to give up his fantasy and continue to work hard for his three meals a day. French writer Romain Rolland said that "Freedom has always been the most expensive wealth of all wealth." is a wealth that no one can reach. It's something that money cannot buy.

Love is a treasure in the worldLove is a kind of fate, but it is hard to meet Princess Anne, who was injected with sedative, escaped from the embassy and wandered on the streets of Rome late at night. The excitement ultimately failed to overcome the power of the drug, and she fell asleep on a stone platform on the side of the road. The American journalist Joe, who was about to go home after playing cards with his friend, happened to pass by and found this girl. Zhang Ailing in the prose "Love" says: Meeting the person you want to meet among millions of people, in the endless wilderness of time, there is no step earlier. It wasn't a step later, but it happened to catch up. Anne and Joe met so cleverly. There is no step earlier, nor is there a step later. The kind Joe thought Anne was a drunk girl and asked the taxi driver to take her away, but the driver refused, so he had to take her back to his home. This is how their romantic and comedic story began. The next day, Qiao saw the photo of the princess from the newspaper news. With the keen observation of the reporter, he recognized the princess as the girl he stayed overnight. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He called his partner photographer Irving to follow him and accompanied the princess to play crazy in Rome for a day. In this process, the princess fell in love with the mature and humorous Qiao, and Qiao also fell in love with the beautiful and straightforward princess. Love is usually like this, unknowingly, each other is in harmony with each other. So love is not something you can find. There is always someone waiting for you in a corner you don’t know. The famous female writer Tie Ning visited Bing Xin when she was young. The old man learned that Tie Ning was still single and said earnestly, don’t look for love, you have to wait. Tie Ning followed Bing Xin's advice and did not deliberately look for it, but devoted himself to writing and let it be natural. But as I approached the year of knowing destiny, I met someone I liked and got married. This kind of fate is hard to come by. Maybe it’s just a turn and you will meet the person who makes you moved. Maybe it’s a lonely life and you can’t wait for the feeling of your heartbeat. The luxury of love lies in its short and changeableness. When two people meet and fall in love, who doesn’t want to be a single person and never get along with each other forever? But there will always be reasons for your own or external interference, which makes it difficult for lovers to get married. Even though Princess Anne and Joe are made of heaven and earth, they are in love with each other, but they cannot continue their love. One is about to become the king of a country, and the other is a young journalist who is busy day and night for survival. The huge difference in status is destined to be separated. In the ancient love tragedy of my country " Peacock Flying Southeast ", Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi are deeply in love, but they are separated by their mothers. The last one "lifts their bodies to the Qingtan Pool" and the other one is "hung to the southeast branch of ". Nalan Xingde 's sentence "If life is just like the first meeting, why is the autumn wind sorrowful to paint a fan?" expresses the change and impermanence of love. Even if you have it once, you cannot guarantee your life without worries. Love but not getting it is a regret, gain but losing it is a pain. Love is always unpleasant.

Loyalty is the highest quality movies have another touching feature, that is, they let us see the best quality in human nature: loyalty.Princess Anne met her love in the pursuit of freedom, but in the end she gave up love with tears and chose to go back and continue her responsibilities. This is Anne's loyalty to the country and the people. When she described her father's work with Joe, who had just met, she implicitly said that her father's work cannot be quit unless she is not competent for her physical reasons. This shows that Anne's bones are filled with the blood of the royal family and has been educated to love the country and the people since she was a child. She is the future king, and in her heart, the interests of the country and the people are above everything else. When Qiao learned that the girl who stayed in his room was His Highness the Princess, he discussed with the editor-in-chief that he could use this opportunity to expose the information and earn a lot of money. But in his short and sweet relationship with the princess, he couldn't help falling in love with the pure, kind and lovely princess. In the end, he gave up the high reward and refused the editor-in-chief's "exclusive interview about the princess." The princess' country covers the truth about the princess's departure with "the princess is sick". If Qiao reveals the news, it will inevitably have a huge negative impact on the princess and her country. Joe chose to remain silent, This is Joe's loyalty to love. Because love is pure and cannot be desecrated. In the play, Joe’s friend Irving took a lot of photos of the princess while Qiao and the princess were playing. If you take out a few photos, it would become the target of high prices for media from all sides. Irving originally thought he could make a fortune and improve his life, but in the end he heard Joe say he didn't want to do this interview. As a friend, Irving quickly understood Joe's thoughts. Despite all the regrets, he still gave up on his plan to exchange photos for money. During the princess’ press conference, Owen seized the opportunity to give the photo to the princess. This is Irving's loyalty to friendship. is a good work, and its charm lies in touching people's hearts with beauty. The beauty of love, the beauty of freedom, and the beauty of human nature! The movie "Roman Holiday" did it. Freedom, love, and loyalty are all luxury goods in life that money cannot buy. Which one do you own?
