Miss Kiki

In the romantic country of France, there is a girl like Qiqi. She is not a lady, walks and shoots stars, does things recklessly, speaks coarsely, lavishly, informally, and has a very personal personality. After finishing class at my aunt’s house, I felt puzzled by Parisians and Parisian life. I sang this kind of inexplicability. Every day, the Parisians think about love, flirting, idleness, unfaithfulness, walking hand in hand, and never get tired of it. , The meaning of life, why this is so incomprehensible to this innocent girl. She sang from home to the park, her expression and emotion were very angry. The male protagonist Gaston passed by and saw her greet her. She also didn't want to respond, waved and hid under her hat. She followed him to watch skating. She didn't care about what she wanted to say, and then ran home carelessly. Kiki and Gaston played cards at home, with her feet on the seat, she didn't look like a lady at all. She secretly drank and played with Gaston. He promised to take her on vacation. They sang and jumped, and the three of them were together. Drinking, a piece of peace, really unhappy. When they got to the beach, they played tennis. Kiki was completely different from other women. The camera shot back and forth of the lady playing tennis and Kiki playing tennis. One stood still and only waved his arms, one ran across the court to catch the ball, and the other was depressed. Exhaustion, a cheerful excitement, in sharp contrast. Gaston taught Kiki to ride a horse, Kiki rode forward, and Gaston rode a donkey, but the donkey didn't walk. The two played around, making everyone present laugh. Such an innocent, romantic and lovely girl, such a funny and unassuming man, the audience will have a vision for them, how good it would be if it kept doing this.
When I got home, everything began to change. Because of the closeness and intimacy of Kiki and Gaston, the aunt of the upper-class society saw opportunities and signs, and began to discuss with my grandmother and give it to me while Gaston was away. Kiki is in class and teaches her how to be a French woman, a Parisian woman who pleases men and mixes the social circle. Kiki learns to dress and dress up, wear a beautiful skirt to Gaston, telling his taste, he leaves angrily, and she knows very well that although she has changed at this time, I believe she is still that naive , She said that she doesn't need to change herself completely when facing old friends. And why did she completely change herself later? Did she like the feeling after she became more beautiful and better? Did she start enjoying such a leisurely and luxurious life? Did she also fall in love with Gaston? Do you want to be a worthy woman? Is she aware of the terrible ugliness and ugliness of upper-class society, so she has to change herself and make herself strong enough to face it, or does she really change and grow into a mature woman, forgetting that innocence? Lovely yourself?
I think they have them all. She is afraid of facing all that. She is sad because she knows that Gaston has drawn her into their circle of life because she loves her. She is afraid that she can't cope with it. After all, she is not a circle. But because I fell in love with Gaston, I would rather face him with him than leave him. Is this the power of love? Does love make people brave and blind? Does love make people vain? Is this because of love? I actually doubt it, because temptation is not only love, but also many other things, such as the opening of her horizons. Kiki has experienced a different life with Gaston and enjoyed more different beauty, but at the same time She is also far away from her true side. How I hope that when she hasn't become the last Kiki who picked cigars for Gaston, lit her fire, and told him the true and false jewelry of another lady, I would marry her and keep her instinct. It would be great for her to be so presumptuous by his side forever, instead of complaining to her uncle that the new generation was destroyed, instead of being powerless to Kiki's change. But after all, she has changed. Perhaps this change is an inevitable trend. Once any ordinary girl lives like a princess and noblewoman, she rarely goes back to the past. There are ripples in their calm heart. It's hard not to. Heartbeat, do not change.
And speaking of the protagonist, as a man, after seeing all kinds of similar Parisian women, getting along with the innocent and lively girl Qiqi made him relax and happy, returning to nature and nature. This kind of freshness is also his love of Qiqi. One reason for this is that he also really likes Qiqi. Qiqi gives him a feeling that he has not had in many years. When Qiqi became like other women, he also lost interest in her, disappointed and helpless. And why did you decide to propose to Qiqi in the end? Is it because of love that he really fell in love with Qiqi, no matter what she became, he couldn't do without her?

If it is love, then love in them is a kind of greatness and a kind of bondage, allowing them to find each other, but also lose themselves, and restrict the truth, goodness and beauty. And I still hope that after they get married, they can live happily, and Qiqi can be presumptuous and be herself in front of a lover who knows herself.
I always miss that personality and eclectic Kiki, that youthful and beautiful Kiki, who is incomprehensible for Parisian life and insists on being herself, is her youth, and I also miss her youth.

Comparing the same director, the same heroine, the same musical genre, and the same Oscar-winning "An American in Paris", after a few years, the heroine has become beautiful and the singing and dancing are equally exciting. Paris, France is so beautiful and still Remember to dance and walk in the moonlight by the Seine. In this "Golden Powder World", more of the beauty of Paris is shown, not only the scenery, but also the architecture, interior design, and clothing beauty of Paris. It also shows the prosperous and luxurious life of the upper class in France. The gatherings are non-stop. , Men and women are talking about love every day, women are fighting secretly, outsiders squeeze into the upper class, and drunk and gold fans. No wonder this kind of life makes lovely Qiqi puzzled. Thinking of "Pretty Friends", this upper class circle is also quite chaotic.
Gaston, the noble male protagonist, is also very cute. He ran away many times and began to sing. His expressions of depression, anger, happiness, excitement, expectation and disappointment after thinking it through were all in place.
Grandma and uncle are also very cute. Uncle sings about his feelings when he is glad that he is no longer young. If he is no longer young, many things will be neglected. Many things don't have to be so careless, and he becomes more casual and comfortable.
The descriptions in the song of this movie are very close to personal feelings, very carefree, and the lines are good. Generally speaking, this movie is good, I like to watch musicals more and more, not so dull.

    The story of a French diamond king Laowu who has no intention of looking for a pure little loli in various vase mature women in the upper class. I never thought that the little loli was almost educated to become a fake vase mature woman in the upper class. Fortunately, sincere love made the two become married. The bright spot is the high-class luxury picture scroll + music musical performance situation, the disadvantage is that the plot is lackluster. I prefer the first-generation car that the hero drives.

    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!
