GIA: Too Wild To Live, Too Beautiful To Die.

GIA, the American supermodel of the 1970s and 1980s. She died of AIDS on November 18, 1986, when she was only 26 years old.

Watching Angelina Jolie in this movie, and seeing Gia's life photos later, to be honest, is a little bit different. Angelina Jolie looks more indifferent and has a lot of personality, but Gia feels more pure, uninhibited but not debauched. Even if that's not the case. However, I really think that AJ played the late Gia too vividly. After suffering from AIDS, looking at his body that is getting weaker and weaker day by day, his pale face is still afraid, the loneliness and loneliness that has never been rescued. The early liveliness and boldness are also perfectly presented under AJ's interpretation, but with the addition of AJ's wilder personality elements. what. I will only like her more and more.

Let's talk about the film first, a biographical film, based on the little memories of Gia and her diary that people left behind to piece together the story. A teenage girl from a broken family stepped into the American modeling world in the 1970s because of her outstanding looks. The back of the brave, enthusiastic and casual, but sandwiched by a lonely and insecure fragile heart. I have never been able to forget that every time she said "I am just a kid", the kind of point she wanted to beg for came from the care of others; and the childish jokes were serious enough. I thought that if there was always someone by her side who was always there for her, maybe she didn't end up like this. Of course, I will not deny her choice for her life, everything is always inevitable, and in the end, she does not regret it. Maybe that's what's best for her.

Gia's life has overlapped with different identities: supermodel, heroin addict, gay, AIDS patient. She is known to identify with her homosexual identity the most. Gia, who left in reality, has countless women in her life, and Gia in the movie has always only loved Linda alone. When love and drugs are related, we know that sometimes love cannot resist the horror of drug addiction. No matter how much Gia loved Linda, when she asked Gia to choose between the two, the hand behind Gia holding Linda still couldn't get rid of the needle. Finally, she cried and let Gia leave. It was already doomed to be a tragedy.

Until later Gia was about to quit drugs, but God did not give her the opportunity. Once dizzy and feverish, she was confirmed to have AIDS. At that time, when she went to see Linda, apart from words, she didn't dare to give any warmth. I'd really like us to try again. But, she can't.

In her final days on the hospital bed, Gia's mother stayed with her. Until she left with pain and blood. The rotten and splendid life ended in this way, there is no sigh, I just feel that it is more like liberation.


No matter how we leave, in the end, we all have the same destination.



Life and death, energy and peace if i stopped today it was fun even the terrible pains that have burnt me and scarred my soul it was worth it for having been allowed to walk where i've walked which was to hell on earth heaven on earth back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it over and above

it Mistakes made but not made And pain has burned me and scared me But it's all worth it because I've experienced Hell on earth, heaven on earth Back to hell, back to heaven, heaven and hell Experience it, feel it, go beyond it

    The five stars are for AJ, although I am very disgusted with les, but AJ is really charming. GIA is a real person and very beautiful. There is a picture that is very pure, but in fact, the whole movie gives me the feeling that GIA is very simple and simple. I want to show that I want to get love anyway. I think AJ looks more meaningful
