The last time I was moved by a biopic was because of FX's "Fossy and Warden".
Fossey, a famous American film and stage creator.
He is a genius of the century and a peerless scumbag.
His talent has made the world jealous, and it has also caused countless women to succeed him and be overwhelmed.
His world is even more luxurious and sensual, with light in mystery, filling the audience with a strong desire for prying to find out, but also fascinating at a glance.
And what makes Tiantian fall into this infinitely fascinating mood again is this new biopic from Netflix.
"Houston"
Halston
Also known as "Halston" | 5 episodes in total | single episode 45 minutes
"Houston", a new limited series broadcast by Netflix.
Only 5 episodes.
It tells the story of a generation of legendary American fashion designer Roy Halston.
Halston, once a leading figure and fashion icon leading the American fashion industry, is known as the "soul of New York" in the 1970s.
Because he himself died in 1990, the fashion haute couture brand Halston he created has also faded and disappeared from the eyes of the public and the media.
In the same period, the high-end luxury brands Givenchy, Calvin Klein, etc., are still brilliant and sought after by the world.
And Netflix's "Houston" tells the audience about the breathtaking and ups and downs of Roy Halston's life, as well as the grand and short-lived glory of the fashion classic Halston brand he created.
Who will play such a soul figure?
Scottish actor Ivan McGregor, he is the decadent and rebellious teenager in "Guessing the Train" and the infatuated romantic talent in "The Moulin Rouge". He always hides the eyes of the play and can naturally radiate without deliberate performance. temperament.
Coupled with the excellent service method: all hair is combed back, a turtleneck sweater + overcoat is added, a cigarette is between your fingers, no one in the sunglasses loves, there are always groups of beautiful women around, designer The arrogant posture was rushing from the strands of hair to toes.
Liza Minnelli, Halston’s best friend, is also a legendary woman. She is a grand slam winner of four major awards in the American entertainment industry (Tony Award, Emmy Award, Grammy Award, Oscar Award), and Halston has made each other successful. Played by American actor Christa Rodriguez.
Elsa Peretti, the muse of Halston, was the first model of Halston. She has perfect looks and figure, and her every move reveals beauty and high-level sense, but she is not an empty vase. Elsa has ordinary people in jewelry design. Incomparable talent created a story that set off a silver jewelry revolution in the jewelry industry overnight.
Most of the silver jewellery sold on the market today, if traced back to the source, are closely related to Elsa's design.
What about the story of "Houston"?
Starting with the pillbox cap he designed for the wife of the President of the United States Jacqueline Kennedy at the 1961 Presidential Inauguration Ceremony of John F. Kennedy, Houston has received praise and acclaim from both inside and outside the industry.
However, the good times didn't last long, and Jacqueline Kennedy later stopped wearing a hat.
As a result, Houston is preparing to switch from millinery design to women's clothing design, and for this, he has sought funding support.
And it was the classic 1973 Versailles fashion show battle that really allowed Houston to gain a firm foothold and establish a position in the women's clothing industry.
At first, Houston did not want to participate in the Battle of Versailles (the artist’s sensitive personality made him afraid to face the public’s eyes, afraid to be criticized, and afraid to be frustrated), but after being forced to participate half-coaxed and half-threatened, he used to break into The inspiration came from the creation of a batch of classic designs and stunning the audience.

Then, Houston became famous.
Together with his muse Elsa, he created the sales myth of Halston perfume, which was a sensation.
Ladies and ladies, big benefactors, and a steady stream of projects, cooperation, and capital are flooding in.
However, Houston himself is a man with a hot temper and a fragile personality. He has inspirations that others can't match, and he has more uncontrollable sensitivity than ordinary people. He is profligate, indulges in pleasure, and indulges himself without the slightest restraint. Partying all night at 54 Studio, a famous nightclub in New York, and under the lure of drugs and sex, he finally lost himself.
Later, Halston also lost his name.
Halston himself died of AIDS at the age of 57.
The mythical Halston brand was created in the past, but now few people care about it.
The short and brilliant blooming is doomed to a tragic fate. The reconstruction and re-fragmentation of a broken person directly made the audience sigh.
However, as a fashion miniseries, "Houston" is both sexy and temperamental, full of plot, and vivid style. Ivan's acting skills are even more superb. In addition to the tragic story, every minute of watching is so impressive. Enjoy.
The excellent service and the right music give "Houston" an incomparable charm.
It's right to enter the pit.
