The filming is alright, it's in the middle of the standard. I don't know much about Coco Chanel's life, but I know that she came from a poor family, went through hard work, and finally became a fashion tycoon, which can be described as a legendary life. However, after watching this movie, I finally got to know the secret of how she got rich. Although I don't know how her real experience of getting rich is, but after watching the movie, it is not difficult to understand that the method of earning the first pot of gold in the movie is actually very simple: accompanied by big money.
(Of course, the main point of the movie is not to accompany the wealthy. As a biographical film about Coco, the main purpose is of course to commemorate her, so of course, it is mainly to choose her good side to shoot. For His Holiness, not only It is only a Chinese tradition, and there is no shortage of such practices in the West. What's more, Chanel has paid a lot of money to make this film, and it is absolutely impossible to tolerate vilifying Coco. In fact, this film does indeed Showing Coco's talent and wit, as well as her unique personality and ideas, she is not a simple character. She is not a simple character. I only look at it from the point of "accompanying big money".)
In the movie, she accompanied two The first is Pierre, a veteran of so-and-so, who is so rich that he thinks about how to ride horses, banquets, and play with women all day long. Coco met him in the tavern where she sang, and accidentally slept with him half-shoveling, and then actually played Hong Fu Ye Run, and automatically appeared in his castle, committed himself to his lover, and lived in his house ever since. , although never married him. In fact, he has gradually developed feelings for her and is willing to marry her, but she has already found another love, what's more, her ambition has made her decide that she is no longer willing to be a vassal of a man, and decides to go to Paris Invade the world. However, it was in his home that she was able to make friends with many high-ranking people, laying the foundation for her future career.
The second one was an English Gentelman whom I met in the castle. He was very handsome and elegant. He immediately attracted each other with Coco and went to bed in the castle. Moreover, they were able to get Pierre's permission to go to the beach for a vacation. The French are also open enough in this regard to agree to allow their lover to go on vacation with another man, and to accept the woman's return. In this regard, as an old-fashioned Chinese, I really cannot understand the emotional logic behind it. Later, the Englishman died in a car accident, much to Coco's heart. However, the reason why Coco can open a store is that the British have paid for it. And the reason why her hat shop was able to slowly win the market in Paris, a Madame she met in the castle contributed.
In short, in my eyes, Coco avant Chanel is just a story with big money. Because Coco has become a celebrity, of course, this kind of companion should be interpreted as love. If Coco and a British man are truly in love, then she is completely using each other for the first man, Pierre. More than once in the film, Pierre's vulgarity and Coco's distaste for him are shown, but, for life, she's still with him. And once her life could take a new direction, she certainly didn't hesitate to dump him.
After watching this movie, there is no added respect for Coco Chanel.
Although many petty bourgeoisie must like this movie, they must be disgusted by such a comment of mine. I don't rule out other interpretations of this movie, but the so-called benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. It is a pity that Coco avant chanel, in my eyes, is still just a story with big money.
