Like the movie "Becoming Jane Austen", Coco Chanel was also a maverick of her time and a woman who dared to pursue independence.
In the background of the era when Chanel lived, most women ended up getting married. Women had no jobs and could only depend on men. Therefore, the value of many women's existence is only to please the man she likes, because they have no confidence to survive on their own.
Chanel was born in an orphanage and lived at the bottom of society. Because of love and being forced to make a living, she became someone else's mistress, but the other party did not respect her. Until the second man she met, respected her, encouraged her to do the work she loved, and offered her a sponsorship. But the man didn't want to marry her. Chanel's parents were unhappy in their marriage. Her mother stayed at home all her life, while her father was out looking for a mistress. So Chanel doesn't believe in love at all and doesn't want to get married. This is also the life script she set for herself, so she never married. After the man she loved finally left in a car accident, she turned all her attention to her work and became the poster child for a new generation of women.
The classic dialogue in the play: Choosing to be yourself is more important than being a puppet at the mercy of others. Courage comes from a person's failure, it has nothing to do with success or failure. I went against the current all the way, and I am today. A woman's figure determines what kind of clothes she should wear. Freedom never goes out of style. There is no time for those clichés, time is for work and love, and beyond that, there is not much time left.
