Roman Holiday
Thanks to some recommendations from my friends , I have recently enjoyed lots of nice films. And last week, the film ‘Roman Holiday’ has impressed me a lot. As a remarkable work in the film history, this film is really worth watching.
It can be summarized in such a delightful story (This may be a spoilerJ): Princess Anne, who was performed by Audrey Hepburn, was getting bored with her restricted schedule when she was on a publicized tour to Rome. One night, she sneaked out of her luxurious residence and fell asleep on a public bench in central Rome.
However, she was found by Joe Bradley, an American newspaper reporter, who was performed by Gregory Peck. Joe took her home without knowing who she truly was.
Anyway, he was subject to make a big fortune by secretly interview the princess when the truth turned out. But instead of that, after showing Ann around the city and having a good time with her, he forced himself to say farewell to her, for he knew the romance between them oughtn’t to be happened because of their great difference in standing, even though they had fallen in love with each other.
The end of the romantic film is really disappointing to most of the audience, though it ought to be imagined at first. However, Audrey Hepburn had successfully performed Ann as a naughty, naive and sweet angel, who ordered a glass of expensive champagne without thinking, who curiously had her first cigarette, who fell in love with a poor but kind man, and who finally firmly returned to the place she hated, only because of her responsibility.
She was really charming and graceful, not only from her innocent eyes and expressions, but also from her particular character.

　　罗马假日
　　并不是每一段故事都能够演绎完美的，看完《罗马假日》心里痛痛的，男主人公似乎在公主的寒舍走了很久很久的路，连公主也有自己不喜欢的生活，更何况我们凡人呢？
　　有时候，太多的期望和责任将我们束缚，我们可以幸福轻松地走一程，但是那些花前月下的唯美却总是太短暂，24小时的平民生活，可能就涵盖了过往青春的所有，当爱情跟友情在刹那间都如期而至，快乐之后，留下一点点瞬间的影像当做年轻自由的象征。
　　女主人公好美，美的洁白无瑕，我们总要掩饰一些，无论是身份还是感情，压抑着的是我们的天性，生活总归要恢复到昔日的平静，哪怕是刻板也要在常规的程序中完成自己的使命，很无奈的结局，为了更多的人，国家和子民，牺牲了自己最真实的一面，让自己苦了，累了，就像文字，写的多了，也就成了仅属于自己的了。
　　照片可以记录好多的瞬间，但是那里面有摆拍的痕迹，而文字也会很真诚，但有时文字也会骗人，当不再喜欢听寂寞沙洲冷时，心就不会微带着后悔了，留份回忆跟坦然，回首时，遗落一地的忧伤。
　　男女主人公的交集或许就此终结了，有一天，当自己有能力，能够把过往的生活中的精华也能穿成感人的故事，我想文笔也就该到成熟的时候的了吧。
　　把自己放纵了一段时间，原来放浪形骸就是这样，就像那个没有自由得公主渴望着出去过一种世俗的生活，却一直被困在笼子里，无法挣脱宿命的安排，当歌声中的伤感被风吹散时，抖落一身的疲惫，开始探寻出属于自己的道路，继续当初的梦想。
　　或许仅是一场人生，一场梦，走过了，疯过了，转身时就把背影留下在相逢的驿站了吧。即便如此，也要高傲而灿烂的走完人生最后的路。因为你的世界曾经有人陪你度过了一段快乐的罗马假日，在假日结束时，泪水中泛着微笑，我想人生也就是这样了吧。

The story is about a young princess (公主) (Hepburn) named Ann, making a goodwill (善意的) tour of Europe's capitals. She is tired of the responsibility (职责) and demands of the role she has been born in to and longs to experience the every day pleasures of an ordinary person. In Rome she finally rebels. Waiting until after everyone in the embassy (大使馆) where her party is staying has gone to sleep, she slips out a window and finds herself alone on the streets of Rome.
She is found by Joe Bradley (Peck), a hardened (坚毅的) and somewhat cynical (愤世嫉俗的) reporter, on his way home from a late night card game. Not knowing who she is but seeing that she has no place to stay he takes pity on her and invites her to his apartment for the night. In a comical (滑稽的) scene, he offers her a pair of his pajamas (睡衣) and points to the couch where she can sleep. Innocent (天真的) aristocrat (贵族) that she is, she asks for a nightgown and help undressing. Bradley helps her take off her tie and then leaves the room. When he returns a few minutes later he discovers her sound asleep on the bed, leaving him the couch (沙发).
Leaving her sleeping the next morning, Bradley shows up late for work and tries to cover himself by saying that he had an interview (采访) with the princess. But his editor shows him a newspaper with her picture and headline stating that she was taken ill the night before and canceled all appointments (安排) for the day. Bradley immediately realizes who he has in his apartment and gets the editor to agree to pay $5,000 if he can get a real interview with the princess. On the way out Bradley contacts a photographer (摄影师) friend, Irving Radovich (Albert) and arranges for him to met him later with his camera for a big scoop.
Returning to his apartment, Bradley picks up the princess for their planned tour of the city. Bradley's real aim is to get the pictures and story he promised (答应) his editor. But the innocent charm of the princess softens him and the two start to fall in love. They end up having a good time and some comical adventures (冒险). Bradley conceals the fact that he is a reporter who knows who she really is and she doesn't tell him that that she is a royal princess. But in the end the truth comes out and the princess realizes that her duty to her country and family come first and she reluctantly (不情愿地) returns to her official role.
The two meet briefly at the end during her press conference with other reporters. She addresses Bradley as Mr. Bradley just like the others. As he is leaving, Bradley, quietly slips her the photos that his friend Irving had taken and lets her know that his story and pictures of their time together will never be published (公布).
The charming Audrey Hepburn plays a modern princess who takes a day on Rome. She meets up with reporter Peck and wise-cracking photographer Albert. Peck and Hepburn fall in love, though Peck plans to sell an "exclusive story with the princess." Roman Holiday is a fun romantic comedy, but stays realistic (现实) with its commentary on society and royalty

when people comment on this movie here, people all failed to mention another historic event which just happpend before the release of that movie in 1950s. Princess Anne of the British Royal family fell in love with a common man(who unfortunately was divorced--one needs to understand that in 1950s, divorces was like a dirty record in your credit history, which will damage your public image and credibility). It was also not acceptable at that to see a marriage between a common man and a lady with blue blood. IN constrast to King Edward who gave up royal position for her beloved one, she finally gave up this relationship under the tremendous pressure.
The cruel thing was that all news media published her give-in in headlines and it flashed on the street too. It was a sensational event in Uk and US.
Roman holiday almost replicated that story with unbelievably similar details. That's why it was so popular and so touching for many people in Europe and US.
this movie launched Audrey, an unknown and obscure swiss lady into stardom over night. She got Oscar that year and started her legend.
