When the movie "Roman Holiday" was re-released, a new color poster was released.
On this poster, bright color group brilliant picture, Audrey Hepburn wearing a bright yellow short skirt, full of spirit, smiling, sitting in the front of the car to watch the scenery, short hair looks so weird.
Behind her, the man in the gray suit, named Gregory Pike, was smiling and driving a motorcycle, feeling the free breath of the beautiful people on his side.
However, if you look closely, the biggest name on this poster is only Audrey Hepburn, and Pike's name has been lowered below.
This scene is so sad that when the film was first filmed, Gregory's fame was much greater than Hepburn,and he specifically asked the film side to treat Hepburn equally.
However, over the years, the vicissitudes of sangtian, their names on the movie posters, can not stand side by side.
If a flower is used to describe a beautiful woman like Hepburn, she is obviously like an Ecuadorian black pearl rose.
Although she was born in the mud, although she had had a hard time in the midst of war, she polished a strange and delicate temperament, compatible with the nobility of the princess and the playfulness of a little girl.
Years ago, Hepburn was in the same frame as another Hollywood beauty star, Grace Kelly.
In the backstage of the Oscars ceremony, nervously waiting for the moment when the winners were announced, it was called the most beautiful scene in the world by many people, and in an instant, the combination of mirror, beauty and refracted light made people travel to heaven.
But such a legendary beauty, her love story is not so complete, ups and downs, experienced several bad marriages.
Someone jokingly said, "No one in the world who loves her has married her." ”
If you think about it, what happened when the people they said loved her the most, such as Givenchy and Pike, were indeed her loyal watchmen and companions, but did not marry her in the end?
The name Gregory Pike, now unfamiliar to many people, is Hepburn's partner in "Roman Holiday", when he first met Hepburn, he was surprised to catch a glimpse, and then quietly guarded Hepburn for 50 years.
In the 1950s, Hepburn had just debuted, although beautiful but so young, and Gregory Pike was already a big star in the show business circle, with outstanding acting skills, and he was in the Hollywood celebrity scene.
For Hepburn, he was a wise predecessor, a mature man of thirty-six years of age, with a charming charm.
Hepburn's fawn-like innocence, combined with Parker's mature temperament, the two created heaven and earth, together to interpret such a wonderful movie, after the broadcast of "Roman Holiday", Hepburn completed the twist of fate.
It was as if she had hurriedly stood on the three-foot jumping platform of fate, and then jumped with passion, completed a perfect interpretation of herself, played a moving splash, and won back the 26th Oscar.
This play is Hepburn's luck, but also made Pike, but the help to Pike is not as great as Hepburn.
He himself said in a reporter interviewing him:
"Roman Holiday is Hepburn's film, I'm just a leaf."
Hearing this sentence, everyone can feel the character of Pike, he is a gentleman, a gentle man, for the elf-like Hepburn, he gave a beautiful care, protecting her in the crisis-ridden entertainment circle, without being hurt, can appreciate their own scenery.
After Hepburn's first marriage failed, she was heartbroken, made a cross-ocean phone call, and cried to Pike, who was far away from the ocean, and Parker listened to her words, was very distressed, and gave her a lot of care and encouragement.
After that, they remained close friends, but Hepburn experienced a bad marriage in the process until he spent the rest of his life with his last partner.
In 1993, Hepburn passed away and Parker attended Hepburn's funeral.
His white hair, his old face covered with wrinkles, he looked at Hepburn lying quietly in the coffin, tears could not help himself, he also lowered his head, kissed the back of Hepburn's hand, and dropped a confession, the people in the church heard it very clearly, "The most beloved woman in my life." ”
Hepburn's first husband was introduced by Pike, and the brooch he wore when he was married was also hand-picked by him, in short, he pinned too many factors beyond friendship on Hepburn.
However, in the face of such a lifelong "love", Pike never tried to pursue her or marry her, which is also a mystery in the hearts of many people.
In fact, if you carefully comb through the details of the context of their feelings at that time, you will find that 6 months after the end of the filming of "Roman Holiday", Pike fell in love with a beautiful French journalist, Miss Veronica, which is a big blonde and blue-eyed, bumpy beauty.
In addition, in the later years of Pike's life, he mentioned the actress who impressed him the most in his life in an interview, and without hesitation blurted out: "Ingrid Bergman." ”
I thought he would say Hepburn's name, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Ingrid Bergman is also a typical blonde beauty, and although the film between Pike and Pike is not as brilliant as "Roman Holiday", there is still a classic cooperation.
Hepburn was born a refugee, malnourished from an early age, and grew up to be very thin, and she also had black hair and smart dark eyes, which was very different from the image of a healthy blonde beauty.
Perhaps for Pike, he has never been the guardian of deep affection in everyone's eyes, his love for Hepburn is only a kind of friendly love, and his appreciation for her is also limited to friends.
For the marriage partner, he has his own hobbies, he likes the radiant rose, does not like the childish rose, just like the princess Anne and the male protagonist in "Roman Holiday" ending.
In fact, this is not a good thing for Hepburn.
The person you love the most is not suitable for marriage, only for a friend-like relationship, so that it can always be perfect, always maintain an illusory filter, and not be cruelly broken by the real marriage.
