I found a big surprise on Youku. Some time ago, I watched the adventure of the soul that I was impressed with as a child, and today I was ecstatic to discover GIGI, which may be my most memorable song and dance film. A romantic and warm Cinderella-like story is composed of small humorous fragments. The lines and lyrics are full of humor and wisdom. The plot is not Cinderella-like clichés, and is somewhat similar to Emma. I like the dress and speech and manners of people in that era, although I don't know which century it was.
I like the optimistic, open-mindedness and wit of the male protagonist's uncle. I like the selfless love of the heroine's two elders, especially her grandmother. He respects the children's views and is not moved by money. Everything is for the happiness of the child. Reason and vitality overwhelmed by wealth, although love is inferior, but incomparably firm love. What I like most is the seemingly naive attitude of the heroine towards love. At first, he would rather be friends with the hero than be the part of his life. Passing, when she realizes that the actor really loves her, and she can't do without him, she decides to marry him—"I'd rather be miserable with you than without you" is just such a simple sentence, Sheng Any sweet words.

It is said that the stage version of the film was actually performed by Audrey Hepburn. I don’t know if any relevant video materials were left at the time. When I watched this film, I kept thinking about what it would be like if it were Audrey Hepburn. It reminds me of her other film, Love in the Afternoon, an unrealistic but wonderful story.

    Honore Lachaille: Have a piece of cheese.
