It is this time the Cannes Film Festival opening film "Princess of Monaco" given In the first line of subtitles, the Hollywood actress and Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco have a conclusive self-positioning, which is quite an accurate view of history. Deliberately made a 16mm effect of the old Monaco Côte d’Azur highway driving clip, and April 1956 The black-and-white images of the Hollywood wedding of the century on June 19 were presented on dual screens at the beginning of the movie. It seemed to indicate the personal tragic fate of the princess from the marriage of the royal family to the princess who drove down the cliff. It was almost impossible for Guangliang to cry: "All in fairy tales. It's a lie." The
next "fairy tale" story was really "lightened". The small friction in history was magnified into the moment of life and death of the kingdom, and Grace Kelly was refined into abandonment. The Western Wang Zhaojun, who dreams and serves the country with loyalty and loyalty, is only the barbarians. He has become an American rough girl who is outspoken in everything. It can be regarded as laying a good character for the evolution of role behavior and drama conflict. The so-called cultural collision, princesses and civilians are both Can’t avoid it. A fairy tale with such small conflicts, which is left to be solved by the lover, has been established. If it were condensed to less than 10 minutes and full of drooling songs, I would really think it was a soap bubble MV director. Zhou Getai, the latest work tailor-made for the European karaoke market. It
can be said that Olivier Daeng, who once proved himself good at making biographical films with "Life of Roses," this time the deliberately refined fairy tales are messed up. Even the American distributors, who always think that European movies are not enough for the people and soap, can’t bear it anymore. Weinstein released the cruel words: "The current European version will not be released."
Originally, a brand new "Princess of Monaco" was put on hold. The opening film of the Cannes Film Festival is an appropriate choice. In fact, at the Cannes Film Festival in 1955, Grace Kelly, who had just won the Oscar-winning actress for "The Country Girl", met here. Her husband, Rainier III of the Principality of Monaco.
The transition has come so suddenly, the golden boy and the girl are in love, and the royal wedding is grand, but where can the status that they have just obtained in Hollywood be put aside? The opening paragraph of the film's handling of this dramatic transformation is not bad. The symbolic Hitchcock walks into the 235-room Palace of Monaco, with a big belly, with his famous silhouette image. "You have to call her your Royal Highness the Princess", the ruthless housekeeper gave an order to the proud film master, but not a few years ago, he was the tyrant who scolded and cried the beauty of the first time in the film industry on the set. . The boring court life and the casual American habits formed an interesting conflict. Sitting next to her husband Rainier III, a group of royal politicians talked about the Algerian war abruptly and interjected: "In my opinion, the colony belongs to the last century. The matter.” The proud European royal family, who seemed to be still stuck in the thinking of World War I, was embarrassed by the careless American woman, and her husband began to scold Grace not to bring the American virtues. The princess seems to desperately need to return to the relatively free Hollywood studios.
But then, the director chose and seriously exaggerated a seemingly internal and external trouble in 1962. The historically small and insignificant contradiction between the Principality of Monaco and the powerful France-French companies and individuals avoiding taxes through loopholes in border control-constitutes a political fairy tale of a nation that bravely resists power while it is alive or dead. Rainier III slapped the French diplomat severely, and the French army slammed the border at the border of a road on the Cote d’Azur. The most unreasonable thing is that President de Gaulle threatened Rainier III on the other side of the phone: " Promise my terms, or I will send Monaco back to the dark middle ages", you know, Monaco is just a mountain country not as big as New York's Central Park! Therefore, our depressed Princess Grace came on stage at the right time, determined to sacrifice her dream of acting and never return to Hollywood. At the same time, the Red Cross Society of Monaco was revitalized, the charity hospital was established, and the world was rushed for large-scale dinners. Before facing Charles de Gaulle, he chose to issue an Invitation to avoid being Invaded.
Political fairy tales and love fairy tales accompany each other, Hollywood stars save the kingdom and save the world. But history is far more exciting than such mainstream and boring fairy tales. The marriage of the grandduke and the princess did not last long. The movie did show them sleeping in divisions (235 rooms after all!), but when faced with the threat of a spy from their sister to seize power, they stuck together and pour out their wishes, "The big deal is not the throne, we can go to Toulouse to buy one. Farm"; but in reality, there is an uncomfortable scandal. Both of them have a lot of lovers outside. The princess also got together with the singer Frank Sinatra. Even if we imagine that the director is to build a "pure fairy tale" for children where the country is respected and people are equal, Nicole Kidman, who looks like a princess in body shape and looks, has indeed used her acting skills to save it. The evolution of the soap opera-style story is really not enough to satisfy the audience who are willing to enter the cinema to watch literary films. What's more, as the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival gathered as art film masters, the boos all around are the responses of the audience to the fairy tales.
Everything, it really ended with the Guangliang style MV. In the grand dinner of the Red Cross, Maria Callas, the opera queen played by Paz Vega, sang the most famous aria in "Madame Butterfly" "A Sunny Day", the Greek ship king Onassis, Kennedy era The United States Secretary of Defense McNamara, the French President Charles de Gaulle, the enemy of Monaco, and the Grand Duchess all enjoyed themselves together. A sunny day by the Mediterranean Sea is always best for false fairy tales.
