Shu has reviewed several classic masterpieces (and the worldly beauties in them), and today I will talk to the treasures about this killer beauty from Resident Evil - Mira Jovovich.
At the end of last year, "New Life Crisis" was released.
This reboot of the "BioChemical" series, which is "completely adapted from the original game", can be said to have met the expectations of science fiction and horror gamers and movie fans around the world before it was launched.
However, after its release, word-of-mouth and box office both exploded, with an average IMDB score of 4.9 and a Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating of only 26%.

"New Life" not only failed to continue the glory of Paul Anderson's 6 "Biochemical" series at the box office, but also suffered many doubts in terms of plot and casting.
Meanwhile, milla Jovovich, the former royal heroine of the "Resident Evil" series, was once again pulled out of nostalgia by the audience. The success of the Resident Evil series is not unrelated to this unique Eastern European beauty.

Slavic Goddess of War: Soviet-born international supermodel
One cold lesson that many people may not know is that Mila Jovovich is actually a former Soviet.
Mira was born in Kiev, Ukraine, in 1975, when Ukraine was still part of the Soviet Union.
Mira was born not low, her father was a senior military officer for more than two generations, and her mother was a well-known Ukrainian actress, Karina Čovovich.
The Mira family
As a child, Mira was politically persecuted by her father, and the family was forced into exile in London and later to California.
The actress's mother, after the hopeless integration into Hollywood, pinned her hopes on her daughter Mira, so Mira began to learn modeling and acting at the age of 5.

At the age of 9, Mira starred in her first TV series. At the age of 10, he appeared on the runway and various magazine covers, and the brand invited him continuously.
At a young age, Mira became the "youngest cover girl in an American fashion magazine" and was later chosen as the lead model by fashion photography master Richard Avettom.

Fashion designer Miuccia Prada has said Mira is his muse of inspiration, and Giovanni Gianni Versace also told the media that Mira is his "favorite supermodel".
In 2004, Mira topped Forbes magazine's list of "The World's Richest Supermodels."
On the world's authoritative model website Models.com, Mira is on the "LEGENDS" list, with Kate Moss, Giselle Bunchen, Naomi Campbell and other international supermodels, and the achievements and status of her modeling career are self-evident.

Mira is also a typical example of a small number of model transformation actors.
In 1991, the 15-year-old Mira won the role of the heroine of "Back to the Blue Coral Reef" (the sequel to Brooke's "Youth Coral Island"), although she did not escape the spell of "the sequel is difficult to produce", but Mira's bright appearance is more well known.
Mira was also dubbed the "Slavic Porchy Little Silk" by the media.
"Back to the Blue Reef"
In 1997, Mira starred in Luc Besson's classic science fiction film "The Fifth Element", playing the red-haired "Lilu" as a major breakthrough in her career as an actor, and the film also appeared at the opening film festival in Cannes that year.
Two years later, Mira collaborated on Joan of Arc with her husband, Luc Besson.

Joan of Arc
Since 2002, Mira has played the heroine "Alice" in the horror action film "Resident Evil" series.
The explosion of the "Resident Evil" series made Mira the "queen of action movies" at that time, and another "cold and glamorous woman" in Hollywood after Angelina Jolie.
Film critic James Bellardinelly had this to say of Mira: "She impressed, although her effectiveness had nothing to do with acting, not with dialogue".
In addition, Mira also plays music, released the album "Divine Comedy", and formed her own experimental band "Plastic Has Memory".
Today, Mira, who is over 40 years old, has gradually faded out of the film world and will focus more on accompanying her family, fashion, and women's rights and interests. In 2019, Mira participated in the domestic action film "Secret Agent".

Eastern European killer beauty
Throughout Mira's work, from "The Fifth Element" to "Joan of Arc" to "Resident Evil", she almost always appears as a commercial "hit girl" role such as "super heroine" and "savior".
The reason why it can be "beaten" is related to the masculine characteristics of Mira's face.
When she first took the stage as a teenager, Mira was a fat face of a meaty baby, the atrium was not fully developed, and it still had a childish atmosphere.
When I first debuted
But the proportions are already adult faces, with square jaw angles, square chin tips, and square hairlines with the iconic folded angles, which are all male signs.
With a symmetrical proportion, horizontal and vertical facial lines, tough and heroic boyishness makes it distinguish it from a group of "marshmallow" sweet and innocent girls.
Korean mixed-race child model Ella Gross is a lighter version of her. At the same age, the structure and facial features are similar in the short square.
However, Mira's forehead and jaw area are stronger, the eyebrow lines are more contrasting, and the lips are much thicker. Ella's silhouette line is much more oriental, the chin is pointed and pretty, coupled with more restrained features, naturally pointing to femininity and cuteness. Mira has more sharpness and power.

At that time, it had already shown a cool and mature charm. After adulthood, the lower atrium is elongated, the baby's fat dissipates, the jaw is narrowed and thinner, the skin and flesh are thinner, and the bone is sharp.
The brow bone is tall, the nose is longer, and the distinctive box-shaped long nose head is very compatible with this bone-like face.
Mira's beauty is between a girl and a teenager, not a bisexual temperament, but an alienated beautiful teenager. This trait is more pronounced during short haircuts.
The early Mira bears some resemblance to Leonardo DiCaprio, the "little plum" of his peak. The two-person structure belongs to the same paragraph:
Short square face shape + extremely sharp facial lines to close the momentum, straight eye shape is forced to be forced eyebrow space rendering mysterious, domineering momentum, such faces often have their own strange gorgeous.
The atrium of the "little plum" is shorter, and the facial features are pointed and straight, but they are also one size smaller. Among men, it is an extremely dangerous proportion configuration, and if it is optimized well, it is "heavenly man", and if it is not good, it is strange. However, the grandmother of "Little Plum" is Russian and has Slavic blood, and the coincidence that the two are similar may be more evidenced.

The lateral type is also a point that blesses the "hard" qi of the face. The depth of the face is excellent, and the jaw line is clear and powerful.
The forehead is flat and wide, in the same straight line as the slightly upturned chin height, and the middle is raised by the straight nose arched with high momentum, the regular straight-faced type, neat and powerful, and the standard model is distinct. The nose of the falling trend also adds some oppressive breath.
Side type
The figure is not plump, but it is good to be a model, with data advantages and good proportions (175cm).
Tall and slender, the visual effect is natural and dynamic, smooth and beautiful. This is also one of the advantages of Mira's future transformation into the "Queen of Action".
stature
But her facial features are uncompromisingly beautiful.
The eyebrow structure is deep, the eyebrow height is seduction, the sharp and slender flat eye shape is cold and restrained, and the green pupil color is exotic mystery and temptation.
Can desire, can also abstain from sex, such a combination is more addictive. But the tough boyishness of Mira neutralized this charm, and she had more free and sharp killing.
facial features
And Mira's exotic beauty is really a bit wasted on many heroines, saviors and other roles, in fact, playing a banshee such as Medusa may be more surprising.
After all, the title of "The First Beauty of Ukraine" is not a waste of time.
But the reason why Mira Jovovich can become one of the few successful artists who have transformed into an actor, in addition to the praise of her two husbands (Luc Besson, Paul Anderson), Mira's own outstanding appearance and unique "cold killer" temperament are also factors that cannot be ignored.
However, labels such as "superhero" and "hit girl" also seem to have become a shackle that Mira is difficult to get rid of.
The possibility of the layers of beauty is naturally diluted.
