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.

    It won nine Oscars including Best Picture that year. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most boring Oscar Best Picture I have ever seen. What happened to the Academy that year?

    When the classmate recommended it, he said that the movie was really fun to watch, and the songs in it were also nice. But after watching this film, I was really sad. Sad GIGI, but also sad myself. Is it really the only way to stump?

Gigi quotes

  • Gigi: Why did he fly off the handle? He knew I'd answer him back.

  • Gigi: I don't know what you want. You told Grandmamma...

    Gaston Lachaille: I know what I told your grandmother. We don't have to repeat it. Just tell me simply what you don't want... and tell me what you do want.

    Gigi: Do you mean that?

    Gaston Lachaille: Of course.

    Gigi: You told Grandmamma that you wanted to take care of me.

    Gaston Lachaille: To take care of you beautifully.

    Gigi: Beautifully. That is, if I like it. They've pounded into my head I'm backward for my age... but I know what all this means. To "take care of me beautifully" means I shall go away with you... and that I shall sleep in your bed.

    Gaston Lachaille: Please, Gigi, I beg of you! You embarrass me!

    Gigi: You weren't embarrassed to talk to Grandmamma about it. And Grandmamma wasn't embarrassed to talk to me about it. But I know more than she told me. To "take care of me" means that I shall have my photograph in the papers. That I shall go to the Riviera, to the races at Deauville. And when we fight, it will be in all the columns the next day. And then you'd give me up, as you did with Inèz des Cèvennes.

    Gaston Lachaille: Who's been filling your head with all these old stories? How do you know about that?

    Gigi: Why shouldn't I know? You're world famous. I know about the woman who stole from you, the Contessa who wanted to shoot you, the American who wanted to marry you. I know what everybody knows.

    Gaston Lachaille: These aren't the things we have to talk about together! That's all in the past, over and done with!

    Gigi: Yes, Gaston. Until it begins again.
