The English Rose Keira Knightley has never been able to say the quality of her selection of films. Those who have watched her "Pride and Prejudice", "The Duchess", "Atonement" and other films must be really unforgettable about her wild cat-like eyes.
This time, she played the female writer Colette, another maverick and stubborn character. I thought she finally missed the film selection, but she was still surprised.
Biopics have always been the most thankless films, and with so many adaptations, the fuss and the choking are not real enough. There are fewer adaptations, and some people shout that the rules are too boring.
Colette's choice to start this film with her first marriage is really a clever way. Doing supplementary questions in Colette's first limited life, 70% true and 30% false, with romantic imagination dotted in realism, as the movie said: less literary and more interesting, readers will love it more.
The story starts from Colette's girlhood. Colette, a country girl living in the countryside, is beautiful and kind, loves nature, but she is extremely simple.
How easy is it to deceive a simple girl? Willy, a famous writer who came to her house as a guest, deceived Colette with just a crystal ball.
The crystal ball is now a must-have artifact for straight men among straight men, and it belongs to the waste ball that modern girls glance at lazily.
Taobao search for Valentine's Day gifts for boys must choose, and then rank in descending order of price, crystal ball must be well-deserved first.
But Colette was tricked into Paris by Willy. When she got to Paris, she realized that things were not so fairy tale.
Willy is a well-known playboy, they just got married, and Willy can't wait to socialize with other women on Colette's first appearance.
Not only that, but Willy's title of a famous writer doesn't match him. All his articles and music reviews are actually written by two writers, and even his own letters have to be edited and written by Colette.
He also loves gambling, entertaining guests, and the money for writing and publishing books is used to pay off debts, so he can't make ends meet. He couldn't pay the wages of the two writers, so Colette was caught by him to write the book, and he finished it with great effort, and he was devalued by him for nothing.
Just such a man, Colette also climbed Willy to Paris because she was a country girl without a dowry and felt that she must have something special.
Until one day she caught Willy recruiting prostitutes.
Colette thought he loved her! As a result, even love is the embellishment of his life! This man shamelessly said that this is the nature of men in the world, a desire that cannot be controlled.
He actually said that cheating on prostitutes was noble and reasonable, so Colette finally quit and immediately set off to go back to her parents' house.
But good girls always forgive bad guys the first time, and Willy coaxes a little and Colette follows him home again. At this time, their family was so poor that they needed to sell their property to repay the debt.
Willy finally remembered Colette's dead novel Claudine at this time. He had no money to spend, and desperately needed a book in exchange for money for his entertainment.
Who knew this book would be a big seller.
Colette suddenly opened up her own new skills, and she was no longer the little girl with low self-esteem, and she began to feel like a duck to water in the same Parisian social scene in the gold cave.
On the carriage home, facing the husband who suspected that he had cheated on an earl, Colette pointed out disdainfully that he had made the wrong object of jealousy, and it was better to worry about the earl's wife, who was the object of his real interest.
Willy suddenly hit the ground running, ho! This is the perfect material for a literary work!
Not only did he advance the prepayment for the second book, he bought a villa for Colette in name to surprise her, in fact he forced Colette to write here, even locking her in the study for four hours just to force her to write .
And later, when the arms dealer's wife expressed a good impression of Colette, he condoned Colette's derailment, and even joined himself. The three of them performed intracranial orgasms every day, just to accumulate writing materials.
Of course, the eccentric book is another big sell.
With the successful theatrical adaptation of the first book, Colette and Willy became famous. Willy dressed Colette as a replica of the protagonist of the novel. They became the darling of major magazines in Paris. Colette also became the favorite of various product advertisements, setting off After the frenetic Colette wave, she is a veritable queen of carrying goods.
At this time, Colette felt that her original self was falling apart. The second woman she fell in love with reminded her sharply: Do you want to be your Claudine, or do you want to be Colette?
Of course Colette only wanted to be Colette, Claudine was just a product forced by Willy, so she asked Willy to sign her name on the novel and let her take off the mask of Claudine in that vase.
And Willy, who is arrogant, selfish, stupid and incompetent, rejected her.
Willy's subsequent end has fully clarified a truth: Don't mess with a woman, especially a woman who holds the door of life and death.
Colette no longer wrote for Willy, and began to perform pantomime with the countess she loved. Willy lost his source of income. He even used the scandal of Colette's love with the countess as a gimmick to make money.
Of course Colette didn't want to, she easily escaped from Paris, from the vampire husband who had been controlling her and taking advantage of her, and she was at ease and at ease.
At this time, Willy was so poor that he had to pay for petty profits. Claudine's novel had an inexhaustible wealth, but he sold its copyright permanently for only 5,000 francs.
For 5,000 francs, Willy finally bought out Colette's last sympathy for him and spent it all. In the end, her husband still foolishly thought he could keep Colette from staying.
From Colette leaving her prostitute husband without hesitation, saying she was interested in the earl’s wife, cheating with the arms dealer’s wife, and finally stopping writing and acting in a shocking gay pantomime, completely It can be seen that she is a person who does whatever she wants, and doesn't care about moral criticism and worldly views.
Colette's life was unexpected, hermaphrodite, completely self, and extremely free, and also had a very high literary quality. She didn't get respect and equality from her husband, so she gave herself respect and equality by herself. It's the epitome of contemporary women.
Today, when feminism is prevalent, there are many fake feminists under the guise of asking everyone to respect feminism, but in their hearts they expect to find men to support them. They demand equal rights, but they don't expect to be able to return equivalent benefits.
But even Colette, her maverick, is based on her own ability to monetize her writing. If she is just a substitute writer who can never write her own novels, in that era of male power, she will always be her husband's vassal, forever imprisoned and not getting the freedom she wants.
Colette seems to represent a type of girl who makes efforts to continuously strengthen their skills, and can kill enemies and monsters and be omnipotent. In short, it belongs to the ego faction who rely on men to be safe and secure by themselves.
Seeing the ending, I can almost conclude that Colette is a true Aquarius. After reading the information again, as expected, probably only the Aquarius who has gone out of the alien planet can ignore the three views, have no ethical constraints, be free in life, and be self-important.
