Hysteria is the ultimate vulnerability

Under heavy makeup, wigs, and strong light, Vivien Leigh looked weak and old, as if she had withered away. I was very concerned

. I used to be very obsessed with her. Her pure smile and those two naughty eyes that flashed with inspiration, and this character It does seem to belong to her. Blanche and Vivien Leigh have the same sensitivity, self-pity and neuroticism in their bones, but the interpretation of this role almost exhausted Vivien Leigh's blood. She had just had two miscarriages before, and she couldn't bear to think about her physical condition, and her last nerve was on the verge of collapse. .

In fact, Oscar's aura doesn't give her more when she's alone. The other end of the nerve is total, fragile hysteria.
Is hysteria a kind of toughness? Of course, it is not
the most vulnerable bottom line, the dilemma and struggle with no way out, but at this time, Oliver wrote to Vivien Leigh, hoping to dissolve the marriage, and he "begged" Vivien Leigh to "give him freedom". .
fatal blow. .

Depressed psychosis and tuberculosis have been tormenting her. She began to drink heavily. The hallucinations after drinking are her only comfort. The hallucinations brought about by alcohol are longer than tobacco, and the blurred and uncaptured are flying above the memory. .

On December 2, 1960, Vivien Leigh signed the divorce agreement
. On July 7, 1967, Vivien Leigh fell asleep in her bedroom.
On October 8, 1967, her ashes were sprinkled on Lake Tickley.

Vivien Leigh once said innocently, "A Half of a woman's charm comes from her fantasy"

How can the boundary between reality and fantasy be so clear?
The charm of a woman slips and breaks in the slip of the childlike fantasy. The feeling of being free from the border is very quiet, very personal, and even a little self-sufficient and steady, but fear is always with you, and if you are unprepared, it is a push.

If I used to think about Oliver from Vivien Leigh's point of view , but I remembered that I used to cry hysterically and begged others to be released, so I also had a layer of "sympathy" for Oliver. Most of the firmness was probably born on the edge of the cliff


. It's still a relatively bad thing to give the focus.

Vivien Leigh's trajectory may be complete, although I don't believe in fate, although I am not really optimistic, but it is purely a personal matter, Vivien Leigh is still beautiful in my heart. .

    For Marlon Brando, it is too sexy, and even the ratio of Vivien Leigh is eclipsed. Why is the setting of Blue Jasmine so similar to this film? Is it a reference or a tribute?

    It's not the type of movie I like, but Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando are so good, neurotic women who love vanity, vulgar and hateful men, three points. Although Vivien Leigh is old and fading in the play, I still think she is a mess.
