      Bright colors and exquisite clothing

      Golden Powder World Gigi (1958)—The 31st Oscar for Best Film

      1. The film is very particular about styling, and the production of art and clothing is very luxurious, and the use of color is very important, so the visual effect of the film is very outstanding.
      2. The class difference is deliberately downplayed in the film, and the fairy tale of Cinderella and the prince is staged again.
      3. The notion that Parisians only fall in love and never get married at that time is really...

      Miss Kiki

      In the romantic country of France, there is a girl like Qiqi. She is not a lady, walks and shoots stars, does things recklessly, speaks coarsely, lavishly, informally, and has a very personal personality. After finishing class at my aunt’s house, I felt puzzled by Parisians and Parisian life. I sang this kind of inexplicability. Every day, the Parisians think about love, flirting, idleness, unfaithfulness, walking hand in hand, and never get tired of it. , The meaning of life, why this is so...

      "Golden Powder World" a pioneering work of money worship

      As the name suggests, the film must be a masterpiece of drunken fans. Beautiful costumes, Paris before the First World War, full of romance, charming scenery, and all kinds of parties. When I first watched it, I always felt that the theme conveyed by the film was difficult to associate with the best Oscars. However, after thinking about it carefully recently, I suddenly felt that this movie is a very obvious feminine color. In European society, the status of women is not as high as we...

      The secular version of the little prince

      In the eyes of film professionals, this film is nothing new except for gorgeous costumes and props. But I think it is still very suitable for domestic theaters, and it will definitely be booming again. Isn't today's society exactly the Europe and the United States in the 1950s in the film? Most people think that the film is about the story of a commoner woman pursuing a rich second generation, but I personally understand this film as a secular version of the little prince. The male...

      Yo Xi swept away a 2009 D film/The essence is still the European and American style, the music and dance film Shenma loves the most, but this film is solved at twice the speed = There are not many gigi at all. Lu Hao looks like a rich second generation. I don't remember what he looks like. Another part of the solo singing at the park had bugs crawling over my shoulders. I was already on the computer screen and I picked it up with my hands... The grandfather with a mellow and warm voice in the...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The adaptation of the film is not only based on the novel, but also on the basis of the musical, so the producer Arthur Fried first bought the copyright to the original work and then bought the copyright to the musical for $87,000.  .
    Before filming started, Arthur Fred spent two years persuading the "Hays Code" review committee to believe that the film was about a satire rather than a tribute to "year-old love".  .
    Like the original...

    Actor selection

    Regarding the candidate for the heroine, Lena prefers Audrey Hepburn, the actor of the Broadway version of Kiki, but Fried hopes that Carly Jane, the starring actor of "An American in Paris", will appear because Karen is French and more than Hepburn is two years younger, relatively speaking in line with Qiqi's personality in the original work. Hepburn later rejected the role due to schedule reasons. Karen didn't want to play Kiki at...

    Evaluation action

    The film’s music and dance, script, performance, etc. are not the most outstanding in the same type of film. This is the reason why its "Oscar Best Picture" title has been criticized, but it outlines the Parisian high society style. It is still quite attractive after many years. The film, like many musicals, still only focuses on the "scene". All the pictures are beautifully shot. The portrayal of Kiki focuses on showing her innocence...
