Coco avant Chanel

I recently learned French, so I have a genuine excitement for French movies. I thought it was my fault, but when I asked my junior, I found that she was the same, and she liked to dig out one or two places in the long list of muttered French that I could understand and respond to.

So after reading the Chinese translation of "Fashion Pioneer Chanel", people will think that they can see the same dazzling "fashion sketch" in the movie as "The Devil of Fashion". But I looked at the original French name for a long time before I dared to be weak and determined, Coco avant Chanel, Coco before Chanel. Oh, in general, the key is the story of how that little girl struggled to become a big name in the world.

Audrey Tautou, to be honest, I always felt that her face was very hard and not soft enough to be regarded as a standard beauty. In "Angel Amelie" before, because of the cuteness of the character itself, he seemed a little softer. Now that he has become a resolute Coco, especially after wearing a small top hat and a small suit, it is really a real heroic spirit. I just saw the introduction of this film in a magazine the day before yesterday, and I agree with the author's statement that her image is actually in line with Coco Chanel. At least when she wasn't smiling, she had a stubborn expression on her face.

From an ordinary singing girl, an ordinary tailor, and then becoming a mistress of the French millionaire Bassan, and then meeting and falling in love with the British industrialist Bo Yi, and in starting his own business, he received all kinds of support from Bo Yi .
No disrespect, but I'm thinking of Madame Veron. The identity of a mistress, if you look beyond the inherent Chinese values, is actually just like that. The key is that the French society has recognized it, and there is nothing to do with us. Be tolerant, um, tolerant. But it's very useful for a woman who wants to achieve something with some help. Travaille, the word appeared again and again, Coco said he needed a job, Bassang accused Boyi of not instilling British ideas into Coco, French women should not work, and the upper class should not work. It's a pity that Coco is determined, bid farewell to the easy life, and left resolutely.

Seeing this, I'm already a little moved. Boyi is married, but the bride is not Coco, but the daughter of a wealthy castle owner. Before she knew it, Coco ran to her sister with a happy face and said, I want to get married. After learning about it, she said stubbornly, "I don't want to get married. My mother married my father because of love, but she died in the cold for a long time. I think it is always better to be a mistress than a wife." Looking sad. At the same time, Basang said, I will marry you. When leaving, Basang said, what would I do without you.
Coco loves Boyi because Boyi respects her. He called her by her name Gabrielle, not by her nickname like everyone else. He took her to openly social occasions, instead of thinking that her identity was not on the table, like Ba Sang. Bassan always said it was an English idea, but what a lovely "British idea" for a proud woman like Coco. But the one who finally said "marriage" was not Boyi, but Basan... It is also a "British concept", not like the romantic French nation, giving up career and future to love.
After the overall narrative has given you a sense of indifference, these few warm details will be deeply moved. This is probably the reason why people in general romance dramas are becoming less and less moving. Anyway, I love this set. I, who had been watching silently, suddenly sighed heavily in my heart when I saw this passage.

Business is picking up. Coco cut her hair short and started striding around the studio with her head held high like a strong woman. At the same time, Boyi was always by her side at least. Both relationships and careers will be prosperous. So Coco's sturdy face often has a smile. Seeing that Coco was wearing a piece of clothing over his pajamas, he rushed out of the house and jumped into Boyi's passenger seat, saying, "I don't want to watch you leave, take me with you." Boyi looked With the childish look on this proud woman's face at this time, her heart must also be moved. He said, I'll be back tomorrow, and then I'll be with you for two months, a full 60 days of the two-person world. Coco jumped out of the car obediently, and was in a good mood to watch a play with his "old friend" Bassan. But at the end of the show, I learned that the two-month world will never start again. Boyi had a car accident. "In the hospital?" "No." So she saw the overturned car, but never saw the man again.

That Coco before becoming Chanel is probably only here. She took a hard puff of cigarette, her fingers touched thread after thread of gorgeous fabric, and then began another chapter of her life like a new chapter in a novel.
She ended up sitting on the steps, watching the models in her ensembles file past her, to the flashes and the catwalk, and her thoughts drifted. The one who sang "Puppy Coco" with his sister in the tavern, the one who danced with Boyi at the salon dance, the one who was forced to sing at Basang's party, and the one presented in the mirror. Wearing a white suit and wearing a pearl necklace.
At this time, at that time, at that time, at this time... The
applause sounded, and the applause belonged to her. We watched through the screen as she recovered from her contemplation, gazing at the brilliance in front of her as if she were realizing it for the first time. Suddenly she smiled gracefully, and that smile suddenly made her whole face charming, shining like the gorgeousness of her whole body, but no matter how you looked at it, it contained a very similar self-deprecation.
Oh, this is my life.

This is that ordinary Coco.
The Coco before becoming the queen of Chanel, who was so high above the world's attention.
