Golden Powder World Gigi (1958)—The 31st Oscar for Best Film

1. The film is very particular about styling, and the production of art and clothing is very luxurious, and the use of color is very important, so the visual effect of the film is very outstanding.
2. The class difference is deliberately downplayed in the film, and the fairy tale of Cinderella and the prince is staged again.
3. The notion that Parisians only fall in love and never get married at that time is really shocking.
4. The film and "An American in Paris" are the same director and the same heroine. Leslie Cullen’s makeup in this movie is so beautiful that it’s a bit unrecognizable at first glance.
5. The background of the times and the international environment have a great influence on the selection of Oscars.

    After a lapse of many years, I watched it again. It is a typical story of a sparrow becoming a phoenix, but it is very interesting. The ending changes a bit inexplicably hastily, and the rest is good.

    "Like everywhere else, most people in Paris get married, but not all. There are some who will not marry, and some who do not marry. But in Paris, those who will not marry are usually men, and those who do not are women.

Gigi quotes

  • Honore Lachaille: [after Gaston vents his frustration over Gigi's rejection Honore seeks to distract his nephew] Do you know how long it will take you to forget her? Tomorrow noon at the latest. So now why don't you consult your little book and meet me at Maxim's tonight?

    Gaston Lachaille: Splendid idea!

    Honore Lachaille: I would suggest a redhead. Try Michele, I saw her last night and she looked heavenly.

    Gaston Lachaille: I'll call her at once.

    Honore Lachaille: You should, she doesn't have many good years left

  • [Aunt Alicia leaves her apartment for the first time in decades after hearing Gigi has rejected Gaston. She storms into the Alvarez apartment]

    Aunt Alicia: Now, would you repeat that again, please?

    Madame Alvarez: She... she doesn't want to.

    Aunt Alicia: She doesn't want to.?

    Madame Alvarez: She doesn't want to.

    Aunt Alicia: Such stupidity is without equal in the entire history of human relations. It must be your fault. It must be! You must have emphasized all the difficulties instead of all the delights. What did you say to the little monster?

    Madame Alvarez: Oh no, Alicia! Gigi perhaps is a little slow about certain things but just because she isn't attracted to Gaston Lachaille doesn't make her a monster.

    Aunt Alicia: Doesn't make her a princess!
