Ladies and gentlemen, Brigitte Bardot!!
▼
In 1953, Cannes in August was gradually shrouded in heat waves,
On the beach of the festival venue,
A plump but childlike woman appeared in front of the global media,
Promote the new movie "Act of Love".
It was a small step in her acting career.
But it is a big step for women in the world to move towards modernity in terms of freedom of dress.
At ST.Tropez, she wears a printed bikini swimsuit.
This is 18-year-old Brigitte Bardot,
Unprecedented publicly wearing a bikini swimsuit,
Take an unbridled walk in the wind on the beach.
The uninhibited style deeply shook that era,
It has also attracted countless women to follow suit.
Simone de beauvoir declared her "locomotive of women's history"
and the first and most liberal woman in post-war France.
In the history of European and American cinema in the 1950s and 1960s,
There are two sexy actresses who are stunning.
One is Marilyn Monroe,
The other is hailed by the media as a star of the times,
"France's Forever Sexy Little Wildcat" – Brigitte Bardot
Her beauty is indescribable, more like a wonderful talent.
1. Juvenile rebellion
Brigitte Bardot (1934-)
Bardot was born in Paris to a wealthy, elite family,
Received a dogmatic orthodox education from an early age.
The human figure is a lady who knows the book,
Graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Conservatoires in Paris,
Trained as a ballet dancer.
Bardot reading on a recliner in his grandparents' house,
The literary atmosphere gave her a good influence.
"Proper manners" are like a master with a straight face at all times,
Music and dance were her only childhood companions.

Bardo in between dancing as a teenager,
Like Degas's little dancer
Endless practice replaces the time of play,
But it strengthened her sensitivity to beauty,
Years of dance training gave her elegant manners and gait,
The Bardot, who is not afraid of hardship, is exquisitely carved.
If she hadn't gone down the path of cinema, Brigitte would have been an outstanding ballet dancer.
Little Bardo lived an isolated childhood,
From clothing to dating, everything is dominated by parents,
Teenagers rebel, ignoring the buds of convention,
It is from this most thorough conformism.
2. The wind is just beginning to emerge
At the end of World War II,
The soaring generation longs to open all the shackles,
And the maturing Bardot began to take advantage of every opportunity
Escape from constraints and gain your own freedom.
Only 14 years old,
When she first appeared, she was captured by the fashion industry,
It was on the cover of the fashion magazine ELLE.
Childish but delicate with big red lips
Not only hit the hearts of many young people,
Also hit the famous French director Roger Huating.
Brigitte and the fledgling director, who was only 19 years old at the time
Quickly fall in love, secretly date and privately for life.
Waltin was like a savior, taking Brigitte
Liberated from the cage of youth.
It also stimulated her instinctive wildness as a woman.
The world, once a world of harsh creeds, instantly became uninhibited.
The relationship was initially met by Bardot's parents
Serious opposition, Bardot made
A strong counterattack. They have always been
Together until Brigitte reaches adulthood and gets married.
Confronting his family until he was 18 years old,
Brigitte marries Waltin without hesitation.
At this time, Waltin tailored a pioneering film for Brigitte
Push the bride to the world.
3. God created women
Before Brigitte Bardot,
I'm afraid no woman combines these features in one:
Born beautiful, transparent and innocent,
Seductive sensuality and conceited debauchery.
When she was a girl, her eyes were beautiful, and her carcass was like a feast,
It's a binary of innocence and seduction.
The film tells the story of the heroine and three men entangled with each other.
The movie "God Created Women" was shocking at the time,
Those very bold and aesthetic lenses,
Playing a game of light and shadow dancing on the lines of the human body,
It greatly exceeded the scale of screen performances at that time.
The film was actually banned in many places in Europe at the time, and American law even banned navel eyes on screen until 1961. But none of this prevented the film from becoming a global success.
Brigitte in the film reveals a kind of unpretentious original beauty,
She was naked and laughed,
Boyish face, plump and exquisite figure,
Cloud-like blond hair, the dance steps of the wandering skeleton,
She is as seductive and dangerous as Salome in Wilde's fairy tale.
In the film Brigitte swaying on a sand hammer and tambourine
Under the dense accompaniment, there is a wanton dance.
Paul Antoine de la Boulaye/
Salome (1909)
At the end of the film, Mambo, she dances barefoot, light and sensitive,
It resembles a cat with psychedelics.
Twisting, swinging, rotating,
As if driven by the madness of some kind of love,
The blond hair opened and fell like a wing,
Cloaked in a ridge and a face.
Suddenly, a gunshot sounded like a triumphant G major,
ShengSheng cut off the fanatical and confused dance music.
She danced mambo to herself, and the psychedelic expression on her face was as fanatical as a seizure. At that moment, you don't know what acting is, she is herself.
It was the husband's intrusion.
Stirred by her untamable brilliance,
Furiously, he pulled the trigger.
Finally she dragged her injured body home,
Like a flying fish that was still jumping on the tip of the wave just now,
It was put back into the fish tank.
A bronze statue of Brigitte Bardot in Brazil, she is like Venus born in a shell in the sea.
The heroine in the film is like brigitte herself in reality,
Wrapped in heavy eyes.
And this controversial role she plays,
But in the context of the times at that time, it immediately acted
Many young women are at the vanguard of opposing hypocritical morality.
Is it doomed to be beautiful? A woman is guilty if she has an unruly soul? This is the problem that the film throws
With a kind of unknowing and unscrupulous demeanor,
The most careless and central mockery
Reality's unwarranted imprisonment of beautiful women,
In turn, people unconsciously agree with the role.
Thus, "God created the woman, and the devil created Brigitte Bardot",
Brigitte became popular with the film.
The film made her and Huating each other,
But it also became the end of the marriage between the two.
Brigitte was in derailment with the male protagonist in "God" at that time.
4. The Devil Created B· B！
Throughout the 1950s, all magazine covers
Almost all of them are this woman created by God.
Even before she made a movie,
She is "the most photographed woman in the world"
Men all over Europe affectionately and happily called her "B. B”，
and Marilyn Monroe's M. M contrasts.
As soon as it entered her breath, everyone immediately took the same step, looking towards desire.
She spun subtly in front of countless cameras like bees chasing the queen bee,
Began a popular star career,
Unreservedly burning with sensuality and glamorousness.
Full French women imitate her clothing and hairstyle,
Figure out her walking posture and smile.
No matter where she went, there were always countless shots aimed at her. Before he could take charge of his own life, he became a "public property."
While parents still hold strict moral values,
The appearance of Bardot undoubtedly gave the times an astonishing challenge.
In 1958, the Vatican even wore the BB
The photograph of the bikini serves as a symbol of the devil.
The woman who "returned to the Garden of Eden" on the beach in Cannes,
Her charm is so close to original sin.
BB became a representative of the new trend of thought in the 60s,
The whole West began to blow an enduring sexy whirlwind from her,
It has swept the film and television circle, the music industry, the fashion industry and the art world.
Many artists, photographers, singers competed
Throw an olive branch and present a work.
She is the dream of men and women all over Europe in the 20th century.
Van Dong-geun draws Shaw/This for BB
Among the Fauvist painters are known portraits,
Warm and straightforward tones, intense
Brushstrokes are a stylistic feature of his work.
If you put a portrait of BB in an exhibition,
The Fauvist painter Van Donggen will have several works listed,
"Celebrity Sticker" painter Andy Warhol naturally will not be absent.
Andy Warhol Brigitte Bardot/1959
And old artists such as Dalí and Picasso also had gentlemanly friendships.
Although most of them are due to fame, it is no accident.
In a sense, they all belong to the "bohemian soul".
The 75-year-old Picasso was attentive to her visit, and Dalí had intersected with her.
At the same time, BB acted and Youze sang,
The development in the music world is also booming.
The Beatles and Bob Dylan have followed her inspired compositions,
Even when his fame has surpassed BB, he still worships it as a goddess.
Among the countless contenders, the most high-profile was the love of German billionaire Gunter Sachs, who flew a helicopter to sprinkle thousands of roses in her yard and eventually became a husband, a short term, but they maintained a lifelong friendship.
Hollywood invited her to appear in the film with a jaw-dropping film reward,
Even if it was only a brief appearance, even the most extravagant offer was rejected by her.
In this regard, she confessed that she hated flying, and the deeper she went into the film industry,
The more convinced I am that Hollywood is a "man-eating" place of right and wrong,
A high concentration of Vanity Fair.
She happens to be very clever, logical and rational,
This is probably her least known asset.
—Husband Ganter Sachs once said
In fact, blonde hair and blue eyes sexy image
Hiding her more charismatic side.
BB often "hides" in his home in San Telelo and sings to himself
In addition, BB is not deliberately "avant-garde"
Another feminist representative was also obtained
Solidarity and defense of Simone de Beauvoir.
Her articles published in 1959
Brigitte Bardot and Lolita Syndrome,
Describing BB as "the locomotive of women's history",
Declared that she was the first and most free woman in post-war France.
More than once, De Beauvoir expressed her appreciation for Brigitte Bardot in words, and the analysis suggests that she may have regarded the latter as a realistic view of the second sex from theory to the flesh.
In 1970, de Gaulle hand-picked Brigitte Bardot as the author
Prototype of the French "Marianne"
- Bust of the goddess symbolizing the french spirit of freedom.
Marianne is the French Goddess of Liberty
Archetypes, images all over France
Also the woman who received the award was Sophie Marceau,
Ina de Vlasange et al.
No one has ever put Monroe and feminism together to talk about,
Brigitte Bardot, who also has the name of a star, is different.
In the eyes of men, she is sexy,
In the woman's place, she is covered with various labels:
Autonomy, freedom of individuality, sexual liberation.
When it comes to the European women's liberation movement in the 1950s and 1960s, it is almost necessary to mention the names of three French women: Beauvoir (left), Brigitte Bardot, and Sagan (right). For the history of the feminist movement, their influence occurred almost at the same time.
When meeting the Queen of England, the BB was also such a stubborn and humble posture.
As a representative of the intellectual elite, Beauvoir stood out for her,
BB doesn't mean to be favored.
She doesn't think there's anything wrong with getting a positive review from a famous scholar.
I don't even have the intention to respond to the various labels that are attached to my body.
Stills from Contempt, a film that really made her famous in film history, directed by Jean-Luc Godard.
Beauvoir was right —
Brigitte Bardot acts only to embody her essence,
"She is like the true color that grew out of the earth",
Throw away all mannerism,
Disdain for reconciliation with traditional societies.
Since its debut, BB has starred in nearly 50 films. In the 1965 film Viva Maria by Louis Malle, she was nominated for the British Academy Film Award for Best Foreign Actress.
What is even more surprising to the world is that in 1973,
Before her brilliance and halo dimmed with age,
The 39-year-old BB suddenly announced that it was gone.
The world that had been enchanted by her was in an uproar,
And she, as if she had gone away, hid her merits and names.
Cos Chaplin's Brigitte / Perhaps uncompromising to the paradigm of the actress's fate of relying on youth to reach the end of the water, she chooses to retreat while the light is still there. BB and her world have contributed the best part to each other, and that's enough.
There are many ways in which women lose themselves in the public eye.
For BB, she also has her vulnerability and the rift in her heart,
She has her inability to reach and tiredness,
Fortunately, the love of the other world,
It gives her the ability and courage to turn lightly.
5. Live elsewhere
Living elsewhere,
In the desert ocean,
A physical and spiritual adventure that spans his vast expanse.
The ghost of the flood had just dissipated.
- Rimbaud
That year, BB will be dressed from the film,
Jewelry and famous photos are all taken on it,
All the money raised was invested in animal protection,
And in his own name, he founded the largest animal protection society to date.

At the auction, BB announced in its statement:
"I have dedicated beauty and youth to humanity, and from now on I will dedicate my wisdom and experience, as well as my best self, to animals."
BB, which loves small animals, has a new life goal and sustenance in them.
Since then, there has been one less "sexy little wild cat" in the film world,
The world has an indispensable animal ambassador.
Her new career achievements include but are not limited to:
<col>
_
Founded the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, a non-profit charitable foundation for the protection of animals. Today, it is one of the largest animal protection organizations in the world.
Advocate for a ban on horse meat and a continued call for slaughterhouses to treat animals more humanely and gently. Consumption of horse meat has decreased by 30%-50% since she entered the business.
In appreciation of Bardot's support for marine animal protection, the Marine Guardian renamed its fast interceptor "Brigitte Bardot".
In 1985, Brigitte Bardot was awarded the French Order of Merit by President Mitterrand.
For animal protection, BB has paid ten times as much enthusiasm for acting.
Continues to this day.
In this way, she redefined "retirement" life.
In the script of his life,
Another version is lived out in the image of the "new woman".
As soon as the swimsuit photo of BB was released,
St. Tropez Tropez) of the azure bay
It immediately became a tourist attraction in France.
For decades, this picturesque Mediterranean town
Because of the blessing of BB, it maintains a fatal attraction for every celebrity.
The foreign exchange earnings she brought to France were staggering, even more than Peugeot combined after World War II.
Today, also on this beach,
She lived almost like a hermit.
In Saint-Tropez, BB owns a villa,
And her cats, cats, dogs,
There are also hundreds of pigeons living there together.
Every morning, she reads the newspaper and plays crossword puzzles.
In this place she called La madrague,
The Garden of Eden in the true sense of the word,
She works, responds to emails, feeds animals...
Who can deny that this is also an elegant aging?
It's no wonder that when I was young, whenever I felt tired from shooting movies, BB always said, "I want to go back to La madrague!" ”
The public could not find her again, but remembered her forever
Blonde hair, fluffy high bun, wide headband, heavy eyeshadow.
Whenever mentioned,
She was the pure and seductive girl, pouting,
The gaze is like a frightened critter in front of the road lights at night.
"Maybe the ultimate meaning of sexiness is to go back to basics."
What makes people cling to it, and what is mixed with her
Laziness and indifference to the warmth.
