Roger Vadim's blockbuster film "Et Dieu... créa la femme" has a wonderful title. The Chinese is straight and it is translated into "God Created Women". English-speaking countries are still familiar with the Bible, and it is very considerate to translate it into... And God Created Woman (USA), And Woman... Was Created (UK). The magic lies in the hesitant and and the ellipsis. God is not 100% sure, is it really a good thing that this woman was created? I recently read the Book of Genesis, and suddenly realized that the law of not eating the forbidden fruit was only a warning from God himself. The woman was created later. No doubt, what she got was second-hand information. Sure enough, something happened.
And what Vadim's film asks is: ... so God created woman, and then what? Then we have Brigitte Bardot. Some people say that Vadim's film might as well be renamed directly, "God Created Bardot".
Bardot, who was born in 34, grew up during World War II. The impact of war is not all reflected in casualties and loss of financial resources, and social relations have also undergone earth-shaking changes. Men go to war, women take over men's jobs, and their children are wild and lawless. After the war, when this generation began to release hormones, the hierarchical orthodox morality collapsed in an instant, and the taboos in the old value system were broken one by one. The mass media is beginning to show its power, and the focus of the dissemination of images is God's creation, women.
In 1956, "God created Bardot". Although she had made no less than ten movies, she was still a young child. The audience thought that this was Bardot's debut show. At that time, she was as amazing as a bus driver in the film. To sum it up, the dude sighed to Eric: "Hey, look at this girl, what a stylish ass!"
Eric was Bardot's (she is called Juliet in the film) The lover who was going to dedicate his first night , Because of trivial matters, Bardot was angry and married Eric's friend, Miguel, who had a boyish look on his face. After the marriage, Bardot secretly crossed Chencang and exchanged songs with Eric. Miguel heard the rage and found his new wife, Bardot was dancing mambo in an underground ballroom. Miguel was furious and pulled out his pistol...
Hold on, I seem to have missed the most interesting detail here. By the way, Mambo.
Mambo, Mambo, this word with a soft plosive sound, if you read it several times, there will be a faint pleasure. It's from the Caribbean, and the Haitian immigrants in Cuba created the mambo, but don't think that the mambo is the country dance that these Haitian immigrants brought. "Mambo" means "talk to the gods", and Haitians use it to refer to the voodoo witches in the village. The witches have a special status in the village. They are doctors, exorcists, ritual dancers and spiritual teachers. From these voodoo witches, it can be inferred that the African ancestors of the Haitians - the Congo Bantu people. Another source of mambo dance is probably unexpected - English country dance, which entered the French court in the seventeenth century and evolved into contredanse, which was brought to Cuba by the Spanish a century later.
The cross-cultural and cross-ethnic body language confluence, blooming gorgeous flowers on the island of Cuba, tango, charango, rumba... Mambo grafted the ritual dance and pair dance of voodoo witches, twisting the hips in the rumba In the basic movements, plus the front and back dance steps, the accompaniment introduces local Cuban sand hammers and tambourines, and kneads in the style of jazz swing, and an unprecedented sexy new dance is born. In just a few years, Havana's nightclubs were filled with the swaying shadows of mambo. After World War II, Mambo landed in the United States, and then flew across the sea, detonating an unprecedented Mambo frenzy in Europe.
Many people think that Mambo is a frenetic fast dance, but this is not the case. This concept mostly comes from the later variant of Mambo, "Cha Cha". Cha Cha is fast, with a clear rhythm, and the dance steps are small and fast. The authentic Mambo has a steady speed, a large and soothing hip swing, and has a captivating charm. When a natural baby like Brigitte Bardot jumps, it is even more springy, making onlookers confused and fascinated.
The value system of traditional society strongly deprecates this kind of dance that stimulates the senses, branding it with the stigma label of "seduce the depravity", which is intended to eliminate the dangerous provocation from the lower body, maintain the ruling order of the noble upper body, and distinguish between the superior and the inferior. In addition, the overly sensual descriptions are deliberately given to black and mixed-race subcultures, making them subtly tend to the crotch of the lower body. If the order is in great chaos, violence must be used to restore the balance. Such patterns are not uncommon on the music stage. Carmen, a gypsy girl, was killed by a knife; Lulu, who was as much as possible, was killed by the bed; and Salome, the princess of Babylon, was crushed to death by a shield.
The "Dance of the Seven Veils" in the past has become today's Mambo. In the eyes of Liang Jiazi (meaning a model of strict obedience) Miguel, his wife and friends have a love affair, and it is still "love". . But Bardot's hip swing was so powerful, and in front of everyone, it was tantamount to public prostitution, teasing the desires of all the men present. Miguel couldn't take it anymore, such as congestion/turtle/head, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, gnashing his teeth, pulling out his pistol and shooting fiercely. The gunshot sounded like a triumphant C major, cutting off the frenzied mambo and restoring order.
Roger Vadim is not Bizet or Richard Strauss. Bardot didn't die, and the bullet hit another of Bardot's admirers-he came up on his own initiative. Bardot finally returned to her husband. There is no more false ending than this.
No wonder, Brigitte Bardot was Vadim's wife at the time. However, the two soon parted ways. Bardot then became a generation of porn stars. Her hip swinging posture has been copied countless times and has become a footnote of the times.
Today, if you want to find Bardot again, you can enter the first search item on the dog, "Foundation Brigitte Bardot", a Paris-based animal rights protection organization. Bardot founded in 1973 After retiring, he devoted himself to this noble cause. Some people say that the role she plays is worth more than all her films combined - but I'm afraid this is another comment from the upper body.
