As long as it is a tutorial that creates a girly feeling , there is no need to worry about the lack of audience.

△ There are a lot of tutorials on the platform on how to create a girly feeling

Not only ordinary people are keen to pursue a girly feeling, but female stars also secretly set themselves up as girls .

From Liu Xiaoqing, who played a 16-year-old maiden at the age of 60, to Chen Qiaoen, who loves to act in idol dramas as he gets older, to Yang Mi, who can't wait to put "girly feeling" as a label on his body in his early 30s.

△ 29-year-old Yang Mi's sailor suit and double ponytail appearance in "Why Sheng Xiao Mo"

It is undeniable that in the entertainment industry, actresses are middle-aged and have embarrassing ways to play .

As soon as the threshold of 30 years old is crossed, the one who comes to the door is either the mother who plays this little fresh meat, or the aunt who plays the little milk dog .

Even the king in the maintenance world, the beauty king, Da S, is not immune.

And the girls around me, even if they are already at the age of being a mother, their auntie still refuses to go out and be yelled at by a bear child.

But getting old with age is unavoidable.

As a result, young and middle-aged and even elderly women have appeared overwhelmingly in pursuit of "girly feeling" .

Putting up double ponytails, putting on bright and bright clothes, and imitating the hobbies of young people, do you really become a "girl"?

This year's French film tells a series of stories about a middle-aged woman pretending to be a girl and dating a young guy online .

In the process, she gradually lost herself and turned into her own virtual character——

Who do you think I am (2019)
7.6
2019 / France Belgium / Drama / Safi Naib / Juliette Binoche Nicole Garcia

Claire , 50 , is a literature teacher at the university.

Unlike housewives of this age, she has endless worries all day long.

Claire is like an elegant and refined Kochi young woman.

Although emotionally divorced, he occasionally gets together with two lovely sons, and has a young lover who is 20 years younger than himself and is very passionate .

Oh lover.

Now it is the biggest worry in Claire's heart .

The little lover's name is Ludo. After a lingering time, he suddenly became extremely cold .

The information is not returned, the phone is not answered, and various excuses are made to refuse to meet.

The sudden cold violence caught Claire by surprise.

After thinking about it, Claire suddenly thought that before they finally parted in the car, Ludo accidentally said something——

△ Send the proposition, straight men who make women angry, please don’t study

"age"

The age difference of 20 years is undoubtedly a huge problem between them.

Unwilling, Claire initiated a friend request to Ludo on Facebook, but was still rejected by him.

She had no choice but to settle for Ludo's roommate, Alex , from the photo .

Trying to reach Alex on FB to approach Ludo.

△ Alex who helped Ludo avoid Claire during the phone call

She signed up for a FB account.

Become a 24-year-old blonde named Clara and easily add Alex as a friend.

Knowing that Alex is a photographer , Claire starts fishing right away.

The hard work pays off. After she gave Alex's FB album a crazy-like compliment, Alex took the initiative to open the chat box to her.

Seeing that the curve is promising to save the country, Claire responded enthusiastically.

Back and forth, the two " lonely single young men and women like snow " quickly became hot .

Chat at home, chat while walking, chat under a quilt, chat when you go to the toilet, and chat with friends.

Just like a pair of young boys and girls who are in a hot love period.

Soon, they changed from chatting online to chatting on the phone every day.

From morning to night, they are tired of each other .

At Alex's request, Claire and he exchanged photos of Clara's life and even videos of her dancing.

Fake , of course.

This practice of secretly posting fake photos of others has long been common on the Internet.

There are heartbroken netizens on social news every three points and five.

Claire's fictional "Clara" is actually her niece.

But unknowingly, Alex was very satisfied with his nature and became more and more attentive.

Claire is also gradually sinking into the land of gentleness.

Getting along with the young and simple Alex brought her back to her 24-year-old vitality .

She showers and drinks at parties and unleashes herself on the dance floor.

Like a young man, he doesn't care about other people's eyes at all, and enjoys himself .

Claire, who was so old-fashioned that she didn't even know Instagram, became bold enough to stage a fragrant Phone Sex with Alex in the car.

As the saying goes, cravings are hard to fill .

Soon, Alex, hoping to have more in-depth contacts, offered to meet with Claire.

Of course Claire couldn't accept it, and could only refuse in every possible way.

However, Alex, who was already fascinated by Clara, was as persevering as dog skin plaster.

you don't have time?

It's okay, I'm free, I can wait.

Separated?

It's okay, I can come to find you.

Finally one day, the impatient Alex touched the location of the two and took a taxi to where Claire was.

But even when she saw her sweetheart in front of her eyes, Claire didn't dare to admit it .

And Alex, who was looking around, didn't keep his eyes on her for a moment .

This brief meeting gave Claire the idea of ​​withdrawing .

Without the confidence to let the real self appear in front of Alex, the two are at an impasse .

The original sweetness has become a heavy burden.

Knowing that this is not a long-term solution, Claire decides to cut off contact with Alex.

Desperate, Alex texts Claire again, telling her he'll be waiting for her at the station.

Claire arrived.

This time, will she have the courage to let her real self appear in front of him ?

In this relationship, Claire has always been a contradiction.

She reassured herself that Alex loved her voice, her mind, and her heart .

At the same time, because of the deep inferiority in my heart, I brainwashed myself to be the 24-year-old Clara .

And her low self-esteem is largely due to her lack of confidence in her age.

I saw that age brought her, more of an embarrassing embarrassment .

Just like the little lover Ludo said at the beginning: " You are like this at your age? "

In other words, you are already old, you shouldn't be like this anymore .

△ Chen Qiaoen once posted a blog questioning the blind pursuit of "girly" values

After getting acquainted with Alex, Claire's young girl's heart is activated at a glance.

She was able to do a lot of things beyond the constraints of age .

Not only did the clothes change from the professional dark clothes to the bright yellow, pink, and hairpins of young girls, but also the personality and behavior became reckless and impulsive.

Slowly, when she looked at her fake "Clara", her expression changed from initial uneasiness to complacent joy .

Clara dances in the video, and she dances with her in front of the screen.

Clara in the video laughed, and she followed suit in front of the screen.

She has lived from head to toe to become the "personality" she created with her own hands.

Chills down the spine.

Juliette Binoche , who plays the heroine , was born in 1964 and is 55 years old this year.

As a French national treasure actress, she is the goddess of the goddess who makes Carina Lau "heartbeat" when she meets her.

At 55 years old, she still looks good and has a slender figure.

But she is indeed no longer young, and she is very different from her 24-year-old "persona" Clara.

Just like in our current society, when women reach a certain age, they must live with the mask of "girly feeling".

The actresses are frantically using botulinum hyaluronic acid while doing sky-high maintenance in order to "keep their youth forever".

Trying to put myself into the shell of "girl", otherwise there will be no scenes to shoot, no resources to use, except for the juniors who are the juniors.

△ Ren Suxi "seeking drama" on "I am an actor"

ordinary people? That's even worse.

For middle-aged women, the general demand for them in this society is: no demand .

Live for the husband, live for the children, live for the family.

No one cares about your emotional needs, your mental activity .

She was obviously overwhelmed by life, and if she didn't pay attention, she even got the title of " yellow-faced woman ".

△ Jiao Junyan talked about women's "mid-life crisis" on the show

If you're sad like a teen and cry, say what you want out loud.

Not only will this society not sympathize with you and face up to your request.

Even if you are not careful, it will attract crazy ridicule of "innocent passers-by" and public execution.

On a certain show, a middle-aged woman cried and said "I really need love" and was ridiculed by netizens

The age is getting bigger day by day, the appearance is worn out day by day, and the body shape is out of shape day by day.

Faced with women who are no longer young, no one has the patience to listen to them.

So people are terrified of getting old and forced to struggle with saggy skin and increased wrinkles.

Careful comparison of the symptoms of pre-senescence, and big purchases of "anti-aging" series of skin care products and "concealer" cosmetics.

For fear of a trace of old age on his face .

△ Audrey Hepburn

Wrinkles are like the growth rings of trees, the precipitation left by age.

There's no denying that it has a big impact on the looks that women care about most.

At the end of the day, what women fear is not necessarily the loss of beauty with age .

But it brings the prejudice of others and social injustice .

It is the fear and self-denial of the socially deformed values .

It was director Hirokazu Koreeda's royal actor, "National Grandma" Shu Xilin once held a mirror and looked at the wrinkles on his face and said regretfully:

I like the wrinkles that finally grow.
But everyone doesn't seem to like it.

△ Jean Odagiri and the tree Xilin in "Tokyo Tower"

"Girls" should never be the only criterion for measuring female beauty .

A woman's worth does not depend on her appearance, whether she is "girly" or not, whether she is young or not.

Since when? Oriental women are only viewed from the perspective of how girlish she is.
Whether it's a girl, a girl, or a woman, it should be appreciated and protected.

Just like Mrs. Cohen , who contributed wonderful acting skills in "Three Billboards" and is known as " Hollywood Mudslide " once said that everyone's face is a map, a map that leaves their own life route .

△ Francis McDormand in "Three Billboards"

If you want to be a girl forever, it is understandable how you choose your life.

But don't try to please others for the sake of the outside world, " hardly drill " into other people's characters, and live to lose yourself.

Sun Li, who dared to refuse to be kidnapped by mainstream aesthetics

Don't ask "Who am I" in the eyes of others.

What matters is who I think I am in my own eyes.

I hope that one day, women will be more calm when facing old age,

Accept the traces of time on your body calmly and treat it as a precious gift in life.

"Age gracefully".

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face.

— William Butler Yeats

When you are old and grey and sleepy,

Sitting by the fireside tired, took down this book,

Read slowly, the eyes of chasing dreams

That soft look and deep vignetting.

How many people have loved the films of your youth,

Loved your beauty, with falsehood or truth,

Only one loves your pilgrim soul,

Love the traces of the years on your mourning face.
