Alain Delong declares euthanasia?
Recently, the media revealed that the legendary French film star Alain Delong decided to accept euthanasia in Switzerland and voluntarily ended his life in his own way.
And this decision was supported by his children.
However, when the news came, it was strongly opposed by Chinese film fans.
Because, Zorro should be immortal.
Zorro is Alain's role in the action film Zorro in the late 1970s.
Introduced to the mainland in 1978, the film was viewed by more than 70 million Chinese viewers.
When masked, he was highly skilled in swordsmanship, punishing evil and promoting good.
When he took off his mask, he was handsome enough to make people scream.
"Zorro is coming" once became a lingering memory of the people at that time.
To paraphrase Cologne:
No man in the jianghu could resist Zorro's throat-sealing sword, and no woman could resist Diego's slight smile.
In the film, the role played by Alain is a dual identity, Zorro and Diego are him.
In addition to "Zorro", the others starring Alain were also very popular after their release in China and deeply influenced a generation.
For example, in 1966, he starred in "Lone Killer" and influenced Wu Yusen's future aesthetics.
20 years later, Wu Yusen designed the image of Xiao Ma Ge according to Alan's appearance in "Lone Killer", for the box office poison Zhou Runfa at that time.
The relationship between the killer and the female violinist in "Lone Killer" was also adapted by Wu Yusen into the killers Xiaozhuang and Jenny in "Blood Double Male".
In addition, in the 1980s, when Alain was invited to Beijing to participate in the event, the original 4 yuan ticket was turned over to 50 yuan by the scalper.
At that time, the average person was less than 100 yuan.
During the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, Alain Delong served as ambassador for the French Pavilion.
So, it's easy to see why Chinese movie fans have reacted so much.
The mass base is really too broad.
Of course, in addition to the role image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Alain's own legendary experience is also one of the reasons why everyone is reluctant to him.
Alain was born on November 8, 1935 in the French town of Saul.
When she was 4 years old, her mother divorced her father and remarried to the owner of a pork shop.
By the age of seven or eight, Alain was sent to foster care, where foster families often kicked him out and he went to live in prison.
A life of displacement led him to ignore all disciplines and rules, and at one point he switched to 17 schools for fights.
At the age of 20, he went to Vietnam to join the army and was imprisoned for violating military discipline.
After being released from prison, he was also uneasy, and he bought a pistol from the gangsters and was sentenced to 43 days in prison.
Too much contact with the French gangsters also laid the groundwork for the subsequent Markovich incident and directly affected the French prime ministerial campaign.
But for Alain at the time, the priority was to find a job.
He worked as a waiter, salesman, porter, street performer and even pimped in Paris' Red Light District.
Until the age of 22, Alain finally mixed into the French film circle with a handsome face and became a person with a serious job.
We all know everything that follows.
This delicate and handsome face and his unique temperament have unexpectedly made him a hot superstar in the film industry.
It also opened his dog blood love history with countless beautiful women.
In his own words: women are obsessed with me, from my 18 to 50.
In 1958, Alandron took over the filming of "When the Flower Moon Broke the Intestine" and met the heroine Romy Schneider.
At that time, Romei became the most classic Princess Sissi in people's hearts with the "Princess Sisi" trilogy.
As a result, the handsome man and the beautiful woman met happily, and Romey left the "pure image of Princess Sissi" and ran to Paris to live with Alain at all costs.
Romei's mother tried to dissuade her, for the following reasons:
Such a beautiful man will never belong to you alone!
But Romey said, I can't help it, I just like it.
It turned out that Romei's mother was right.
Just four and a half years later, Alain left a note for Rome that read, "Natalie and I went to Mexico to get married, I wish you all the best" and left.
"Natalie" is Natalie Delong, who later co-starred with Alain in "Lone Killer".
It was Alandron's first marriage and the only time in his life that he was officially married.
But like Romey's mother said, no woman can finally tie Alain Deron's heart.
Alain and Natalie's marriage lasted only a few years.
Since then, Alain has experienced four more relationships and many lovers, leaving three children.
One of the longest relationships was with French actress Mireye Dalke, which lasted for 15 years.
Of course, not because of how affectionate it is, nor is it the prodigal son who turns back.
It's more like both of them turning a blind eye, or rather, like a friend with mixed feelings.
It was also during this time that Alain, who had experienced the ups and downs of life, realized that Romei was the love of his life.
Unfortunately, true love is gone.
Coupled with his admission to slapping women and discriminating against homosexuals, Alain was also hammered by angry fans as "thin and unsympathetic" and "promiscuous".
So much so that when the 2019 Festival de Cannes decided to award Alain with the Palme d'Or's Lifetime Achievement Award, 18,000 people signed a boycott, demanding that the festival cancel the award for him.
There are also curses that scumbags are destined to grow old alone.
But not long after, Romey's diary was exposed, which read:
"When the whole world forgot me, only Alain did not forget me."
It turned out that during the low period of Rome's career, Alain often secretly helped Romei.
As a result, Alain's wind evaluation has changed again, and the prodigal son has a warm time.
Perhaps it is this collision of "perfect" and "imperfect" that is why people love and hate him.
He no longer appears on screen, but his name is forever reflected in film history.
On November 8 of the previous year, when Alain celebrated his 85th birthday, fans in France and even the world celebrated him in the air!
However, there is one thing to say, Alain was indeed quite lonely in his later years.
Now 85, he lives alone in Geneva's castle, with gardens, swimming pools, churches and even a helipad.
There is no lover and children to accompany.
Natalie, the only Mrs. Delong, died a few years ago, and even the "old friend" of the past was gone.
Every day together, only his dog is left.
Everything, there is no happiness.
In addition to loneliness, Alain Delong also suffered from illness in his later years.
In 2012, Alain Delon underwent heart surgery and was hospitalized a year later with arrhythmias.
After 2014, Alain's back began to hurt inexplicably, and in 2019, he suffered another two strokes and became a regular visitor to the hospital.
Last year his daughter posted a recent photo of him, and he already needed crutches to move around.
Therefore, Alain, who was extremely tortured physically and mentally, said publicly many times: it is too annoying to grow old.
It also says:
"I think euthanasia is very logical and natural, and from a certain age, people should have the right to choose to leave quietly, rather than entrusting the body to medical devices."
It is reported that the task of euthanasia will be carried out by Anthony's 31-year-old half-sister Anuchka.
Remembering that when Alain came to Beijing to participate in the event, the activity party sent Liu Huan to sing a song called "Aland Dragon" for him, and the lyrics read:
Alandron is a fiery fire, Alandron is a whirlwind.
Now, he said goodbye in this way in advance, and it was like a very windy and fiery life.
Then respect and bless the eternal Zorro.
