      Children brought up by widowed mothers cannot marry

      Women love to be loved and want to be desired, but all of these things add up to a woman needing to be wanted.

      Women who make a living with "love" have no shortage of love. Under their pomegranate skirts there is love from kings and love from handsome young men. Their beauty rivals, kings can give up their thrones for them, and mortals are more willing to offer them gold and silver treasures. These readily available things are just the embellishment of their lives, not the necessity...

      The woman is old, what kind of love do you still play?

      No matter what the flowers have fallen, the end of a "Sherry" song, a burst of autumn feeling in my heart.

          In this film, the protagonist is a beautiful and graceful female protagonist deliberately piled up with Chinese clothing and jewelry. As soon as she appeared on the stage, her exquisite figure was like a Taihu stone polished by wind and rain. Although she was thin, she was round and ingenious, which made the author think that she was only in her 30's... Alas - I still feel...

      Love is the most painful

      There is no right or wrong in love, and there are trade-offs in marriage.
      It is normal for a child who lacks maternal love to fall in love with a woman of the same age as his mother. For Chéri, she represents love, elegance, beauty, sensuality, and even excitement, and can satisfy the maternal love that is missing in his heart. Lea is tolerant, gentle, generous to him, and has a wealth of life experience, she seems to be able to help him. Shelter from the wind and rain.
      In her arms,...

      Coinciding with its meeting, caught off guard. Two flowers bloom, each side of the sky

      Maybe I'm really too young. In the movies, I'm always attracted by the touching scenes of kissing, the beautiful gardens, and the well-cut clothes. Maybe I was really too young, and I began to understand Shirley, who was also young. His delicate eyes made me want to peek into his heart and understand his world. So I'm going to use Shirley as a point of view to share my thoughts.

      Love is not a game, it is sincerely waiting

      "Nuo Nuo"
      when Xie used a sad voice to call out this nickname, I couldn't help trembling in my heart~
      I love it to the extreme, but I can't let it go, I can't go back to the past~

      When Xie Li said that I love you because you are kind and because you taught me to be kind Others~
      If I were Leah,
      I replied like this: "Yes, I said so at the time,
      but at that time I thought I didn't love you that much, and I
      did n't realize that 'you are my only one'"...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film has been on the production schedule since the 1990s. At that time, Jessica Lange wanted to play Leia de Longville in the film. But in the end she failed to do so.
    Aiben Yeyou was called to the set by the director personally, and the director did not tell her the content of the movie.
    The original author Colette's own love story is more confusing and complicated than shown in the movie. After her second divorce in 1924, her...

    Screenwriting

    Screenwriter Christopher Hampton completed the first draft of the script in a few months, and when it was delivered to producer Bill Kenwright, the script was even longer than the original novel. Kenwright said that the script was excellent, but there was no way to make it into a movie because it was too long. So only let Hampton do a lot of abridgement and modification. A few months later, the script was finally finalized, and...

    Clothing artist

    In order to allow the film to show to the greatest extent the luxurious, wasteful, extravagant and somewhat corrupt life that Colette described in the luxurious Paris of the 1900s and the nobles in the 1900s, the director asked the costume designer Consola Tower Boyle designed luxurious, complex decorations and exquisite embroidery, noble and elegant fabrics. Charlotte Perox is a married woman. She is a little cold and depresses her...

    Although "Chéri" has Arisandro Dispart’s hurried and nervous composition, Consoletta Boyle’s beautiful costume design, Darius Gandhi’s soft wide-screen lens, and the most The important point is that Kathy Bates's stealing acting skills are still like the protagonist played by Michelle Marie Pfeiffer, lacking true feelings and enthusiasm, so the film appears mild and weak instead of gorgeous. The film set an ironic tone at the...

    • La Copine: [to Chéri] I'm so sorry, I know what the trouble is. You have everything you could possibly want, and none of it means a thing.

    • Lea de Lonval: [holding her arms above her head] Beautiful handles, don't you think, for such an old vase?

    • Cheri: Stop it, Nounoune! I can't allow you to ruin my idea of you!

      Lea de Lonval: What?

      Cheri: Talking like that, you remind me of my mother!
