"Starting from the appearance, loyal to the character", describing Hepburn is just right.
Audrey Hepburn biopic is finally about to start! The 36-year-old American actress Rooney Mara was finalized to star in Hepburn and serve as a producer.
As soon as the news came out, the polarization of evaluation was quite serious. Some people think that Lily Collins, who collided with Hepburn at the beginning of his debut, would be more similar to play this role.
Another part of the people feel that Rooney Mara, who won the Cannes film with her work "Carol", is real and looks forward to her performance. In fact, through The Princess Dai's series of performance lists, we can fully believe in Hollywood makeup, coupled with The strong sense of contrast between Rooney Mara in "Dragon Tattoo Girl", it is still very convincing to win this role with strength.
Among the European and American actresses in the last century, Audrey Hepburn is one of the most well-known actresses in the minds of the Chinese people, and she can also count her works without paying attention to the film and television circle: "Dragon and Phoenix", "Roman Diary", "Breakfast at Tiffany"... Each can be described in classic terms.
Men are obsessed with her beauty and women are crazy about her outfit. In the film and television works, we "chase" from the Givenchy little black dress to the Tiffany legendary yellow diamond, outside the play, her sea soul shirt, ballet shoes, Hepburn short hair is still a model of fashion frontiers.

When asked about the idols he likes, blurting out "Hepburn is my goddess" always seems to highlight their taste, how many of them have actually seen her thousand-faced character?
Perhaps we are all about to forget that what we love is not the perfect appearance of the "angel on earth", but because of the pure and flawless heart.
Hepburn's beauty is beyond doubt, at least she is very in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese European and American face. But she herself said: "My face is not good-looking, and it is all the credit of the makeup artist for my beautiful appearance." She would also complain to her neighbors about her appearance when she was in a bad mood: a slightly wide nose, irregular teeth, or flat breasts.
You know, she is fully qualified to be "proud". Among the female stars of the same period, elizabeth Taylor, the first actress to get paid in millions, was known for being "difficult to serve", and even ranted directly at the director on the set. This is the opposite of what Hepburn received as a child, "My mom always told me that it was impolite to get people's attention. So Hepburn rarely talks about herself in public, and always habitually prioritizes the feelings of others, so her work attitude makes her feel like a spring breeze everywhere she goes, and she can always mingle with everyone."
Perhaps because of this, she can stretch out and naturally display her elegant temperament, as Yishu describes the lady: "A truly temperamental lady never shows off everything she has, she does not tell people what books she has read, where she has been, how many clothes she has bought, because she has no sense of inferiority." ”
Unlike the European and American figures we perceive, Hepburn is very slender, but her small body has infinite courage.
In 1940, when Germany invaded the Netherlands, Hepburn and his mother watched their uncle conspire against the German Nazis and was shot, so they joined the anti-fascist struggle.
Hepburn, who grew up studying ballet, never stopped practicing because of the war: she used her childhood to pass information to British paratroopers; she performed under the eyes of the Germans, encouraging countless people with ballet without applause, and she still remembers these performances many years later.
That winter was called the "Winter of Hunger" by the Dutch, and the Germans not only took all the food away, but also slaughtered it. Ordinary people hid in the cellar to eat weeds and fruits, and Hepburn suffered from anemia and claustrophobia...
After the war, the stunted Hepburn could only give up ballet to become a troupe actor, and after experiencing the war, she cherished every hard-won opportunity to have so many classics that we saw later.
Where was Hepburn's father when he encountered all this? When Hepburn was 6 years old, his father insisted that the Nazis leave his mother and daughter, and Hepburn, who lacked fatherly love from childhood, became extremely sensitive and eager for the love of mature men. When she saw her father again after she became famous, she could not hate and chose to support her father until the end.
Growing up in such a harsh environment, you can choose to hate, but Hepburn chooses to love, and it is great love. When she walked out of the cellar and took her first sip of milk from the rescuers, the word United Nations was imprinted on her heart.
She devoted her later years to public welfare, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan... She measured the land of the crucified country with her feet, and she warmed each child with her hands.
After five years of practicing public welfare in her own hands, she was diagnosed with the spread of cancer cells. In the past five years, she has endured countless times of illness and ran in various harsh environments, doing her best to use her influence to let the world see corners that we have not noticed. She had no regrets, "No, no regrets, I just don't understand why so many children are suffering," was the last thing she said before she died.
Only then did it become clear that "angels in the world" were not the beauty of the mortal world, but the soul that had not been contaminated after the turmoil and glitz of war. Soon it will be the twenty-ninth year of the "angel's" return to heaven, will the desire for "world peace" be far away?
