said, "Princess Sissi" should be regarded as a typical royal family film, it wrote a court anecdote after the election of Emperor Franz of Austria in the mid-19th century. However, whether it is a study of a period of European historical data, or a taste of the beautiful scenery of Austria and Prussia Bavaria through which the Danube River flows, or a lover (even as a young Emperor His Majesty) free love character psychology Considering the standard of mate selection, this Austrian film made in the 1950s still seems to us today, without losing its high cognitive and aesthetic value. "Beautiful!" The audience will praise in unison. This is not to say that all young men and women watch the film, or feel that they are emperors too, or that they too have been chosen to be queens and go to court; on the contrary, people learn from the emperor Franz, from being elected. Princess Hessi, who is the queen, and her father, Duke Max, who is content with idyllic life, see that they rebel against the traditions of the aristocracy, oppose the formalities of the court, pursue freedom, love life, and embrace nature. The kind of ordinary people. Similar character and ideals. The pervasive tone of the film is the main factor that makes people feel beautiful. It makes this film full of royal relatives and national relatives shine with the brilliance of a democratic spirit.

In terms of artistic structure, the film subtly interweaves the story of the emperor's romantic encounter with the turbulent historical background of the Austrian society and the current situation at that time. The several performances of the viennese gendarmerie captain (he even suspected Princess Sissy as a rebel party who assassinated the emperor!) added a lot of humor and laughter to the film. Empress Dowager Sophie's advocacy of etiquette and restraint, and her husband's comatose (always misheard and likes to raise the bar) not only make the character's personality extremely vivid and vivid, but also reflect the orthodox thinking of the royal family in the new fashion. A powerful manifestation of decay and decay is in front of us.

Of course, the success of the film is also due to the excellent performance of the Austrian actress Romy Schneider who played Princess Sissy. Schneider makes sense in the story of a 16-year-old Bavarian princess who ends up at the Austrian court. Young, beautiful, innocent, pure, and more of a free and unrestrained character, selfless and fearless, this is the reason why Hesse is more successful than his sister in love, and it is also the reason why Schneider is successful in performing this role. .

Romy Schneider was born on September 23, 1938 in a family of actors in Austria. At the age of 15, he made his first film with his mother. Before the age of 20, she filmed the "Hesi Trilogy" ("Princess Sisi" is one of them), and became a star of European fans of wind magic. In 1958, she lived in France and cooperated with many world-renowned directors and actors. She has won the French Caesar Award for many times. In the meantime, he was engaged to Alain Delon for 4 years before breaking up. This seemed to be the first sign of Schneider's unhappiness in his private life. Just as when Sissy met the Austrian emperor by chance and fell in love at first sight, and later became queen, she said "it's really a dream" several times, so Schneider's world-famous success on the screen has finally become a reality. dream. She was so unfortunate - divorced from her husband, lost her beloved son in a car accident, and suffered internal injuries herself. The shattering of the dream is loneliness, and the loneliness is accompanied by terror, so that she has no courage to live on. On May 29, 1982, Schneider committed suicide by poisoning himself in Paris—this was when Chinese audiences (as his wife) first took their artistic flair from "Old Gun". She only lived to be 43 years old. The inheritance she had expected to leave to her only daughter in her will was a huge debt of 7 million francs after being cleared up! Princess Hessey's comedy finally brought Snyder himself such a tragic tragedy, no wonder people always blame the unfairness of the goddess of fate.
