¡Buenos días! Hoy empezamos la semana retomando una sección que tenía un poco abandonada: la de películas icónicas de la historia del cine.
Adivina
quién viene esta noche es una película de 1967 dirigida por Stanley Kramer y protagonizada
por Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn y Sidney Poitier, en mi opinión tres
monstruos de la gran pantalla.
La
película narra la historia de Joanna Drayton (Katherine Houghton) hija de de
Matt Drayton (Spencer Tracy) y Christina Drayton (Katherine Hepburn) un joven
mujer blanca que vive un apasionado romance con el Dr. John Prentice (Sidney
Poitier) un joven médico negro al que conoce en un viaje a Hawai.
La trama
se centra en el regreso de Joanna a casa, cuando se presenta con su prometido
para presentárselo a sus padres. Aunque sus padres la han educado de forma muy liberal
el shock para ellos es enorme. Joanna está muy sorprendida puesto que sus
padres le inculcaron desde pequeña que todo los hombres son iguales a pesar del
color de su piel, por lo que no entiende sus reticencias a esta elección. Por su
parte los padres de John viajan a San Francisco para conocer a su futura nuera si
saber que se trata de una mujer blanca…
La
película trata como pocas el tema del racismo y se trató de la última película
que protagonizaron juntos Tracy y Hepburn. De hecho él murió 17 días después de
finalizar el rodaje. Katherine confesó que nunca pudo ver la película entera
porque los recuerdos eran demasiado dolorosos para ella…
¡Chicas un joya que no os podéis perder!
¡Feliz
inicio de semana!
Good morning! We begin the week going back to a section
I have neglected a bit: the iconic film posts.
“Guess who’s coming to dinner” is a 1967 film directed
by Stanley Kramer and starred by Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn and Sidney
Poitier, in my opinion three phenomenon of the big screen.
The film tells the story of Joanna Drayton (Katherine
Houghton) daughter of newspaper publicist Matt Drayton (Spencer Tracy) and art
gallery owner Christina Drayton (Katherine Hepburn), a white young woman who
lives a whirlwind romance with Dr. John Prentice (Sidney Poitier) a young black
doctor she met during a trip to Hawai.
The plot centers on Joanna return to her home,
bringing her fiancé to dinner to meet her parents. Even though she’s received a
very liberal education, her parents are extremely shocked when they found out
that their future son-in-law is a black man. Joanna is very surprised as she
was taught to treat blacks and members of other racial groups as equals and
doesn’t understand her parents reaction. On the other hand, John’s parents travel
to San Francisco to meet their future daughter-in-law, without knowing that she’s
a white woman…
The film depicts the subject of racism as few films
have ever done. It is also notable for being the final on-screen pairing of
Tracy and Hepburn. Tracy just died 17 days after the ending. Hepburn never
saw the completed film: she said the memories of Tracy were too painful…
Ladies, a jewel that you can’t miss!!
Happy
beginning of the week!!
The happy couple |
The astonished parents |
The maid, Tillie, doesn't like Mr. Prentice!! |
One of the most beautiful final speeches I've ever heard in a film |
i love classic movies.
