"She was too young to know all the gifts of fate, and she had already secretly marked the price." - Zweig, "The Severed Queen"

Hello everyone, I'm Lisa's little assistant. Film and television is a mirror of the world, and the film and television wear sharing of each issue is coming again! Today we share an extremely extravagant movie - "The Absolute Queen".

"The Queen of The Magnificent Generation" tells the luxurious, legendary and gorgeous life of Queen Mary, the wife of the French Emperor Louis XVI, vividly letting us understand the truth of "no zuo no die".

Yan Hou's short life is also the most prosperous period of Rococo art, the film vividly reproduces the dreamy years of the Rococo era, creating an eighteenth-century French royal family luxury intoxicated, and leisurely and lazy life scene, thus setting off a wave of people's pursuit of Rococo art.

Although the plot does not have too many ups and downs, but the victory is in the well-dressed, the film is full of delicate, exquisite, gorgeous Rococo decorations, we may wish to watch it as a Rococo art film; and the scene is gorgeous, as dreamlike as fascinating, I believe you can get a good visual enjoyment.

For Rococo, some people may only hear its name but do not understand, and then Lisa's little assistant will explain what Rococo is from multiple angles.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >▼ What is Rococo? </h1>

The word Rococo, a combination of the French Rocaille (shell craft) and the Italian Barocco (Baroque), is a highly skillful decorative art.

The Rococo style originated in 18th-century France and arose against court red tape. The Rococo style is typical, aristocratic, elaborate, and graceful.

The Rococo style was a rebellion against the solemn, luxurious artistic style of the Louis XIV period, which replaced the more robust Baroque style of the Louis XIV era and became the mainstream of the early 18th century.

Corresponding to the masculinity of the Baroque, Rococo presents a feminine delicacy and delicacy, manifested as delicate colors, shiny and seductive, exquisite and gorgeous, and pursues visual magnificence and comfort.

The movie "The Absolute Queen", filmed on the spot in the Palace of Versailles, the overall picture presents a sweet and luxurious Rococo style. Among them, exquisite architectural furniture, a variety of costumes and light music all show the ultimate court style.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > ▼ Mother of Rococo</h1>

Speaking of the Rococo style, we have to mention the Marquise de Pompadour, known as the "Mother of Rococo", who was the lover of Louis XV from a famous family, and with her unique artistic talent, she guided the transformation of the Palace of Versailles, the Elysée Palace, and the Petit Trianon.

Under her advocacy, the rococo style with beautiful lines and elegant coloring prevailed, sweeping across Europe and even affecting China.

<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > ▼ Characteristics of clothing in the Rococo era</h1>

Baroque costumes of the 17th century were masculine-centric and unfolded at the court of Louis XIV. Rococo clothing in the 18th century was centered on women and rose in salons, so the Rococo style was concentrated on women's clothing.

Rococo style clothing uses a large number of exaggerated shapes, intricate decorations, macaron colors and natural form decorations to give people a luxurious and romantic visual effect, so as to highlight the beauty of the human body.

The color of the rococo era's clothing does not have the thick ink and heavy color of big red and green to stimulate the eyeballs, and a series of small and fresh feminine colors such as sky blue, pink, goose yellow, lemon green and so on are dominant.

Women's clothing of the Rococo period, with a large flat neck on the chest, a slender and tight silhouette, outlining the willow waist. The skirt brace pays attention to magnificence and exaggeration, and the larger the skirt brace, the more beautiful it is.

The ribbon bows, precision embroidery, tassels, feathers, glass pearls and other complicated decorations on Rococo women's clothing are enough to amaze people.

People looked down on their hair ornaments with towering buns, their heads covered with ornaments: birds, rockeries, sailboats, etc., as well as a variety of hat styles.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > ▼ "Rococo Queen" in rococo's time</h1>

She led a century of fashion, single-handedly pushing the gorgeous rococo style to the top.

As soon as she landed, she became a Princess of France at the age of 14 and a princess at the age of 18. She had never seen life outside the nobility in her life, and her mission was to maintain her flower-like beauty, to enjoy the wine and lamb in front of her, and to enjoy the splendid Ayara that could not be worn endlessly.

Although her extravagant and lavish court life has always been criticized by people, Queen Mary, who has a remarkable fashion taste, has an indelible influence on the promotion of French fashion and art, especially the rococo style she is passionate about and good at, so she is called "Queen Rococo".

Mary would wear it, and she dared to put anything on her towering hair: all kinds of ornaments, feathers, flowers, branches, ears of wheat, etc., not a single one.

In the film, we can see that Mary's costumes were not gorgeous and extravagant from the beginning, and the various things that happened later created her results.

At the beginning of the story, Mary traveled thousands of miles to a foreign country for the political interests of France and Austria, married Louis XVI, who had never met, and came to the Palace of Versailles with expectations and imagination.

▼ Mary, who first entered the imperial palace, dressed in a very plain color.

But Mary's imaginary life did not come, and her husband's indifference made her existence embarrassing.

▼ The costume of the queen is extremely luxurious, and the usual costumes are pink and tender macaron colors.

Pink is especially prominent in the film, and pink costumes show Queen Mary's charm to the extreme.

When the anticipation was worn away, Mary began to numb herself with extreme pleasure, and she began to frequently enter and leave the banquets of the major nobles.

▼ During the period of "extravagance and debauchery", mary's costume color also changed from macaron color to rose red, sexy black and so on.

But unbeknownst to her, when she enjoyed the luxuries and riches of the high part of the palace, there were people who could not afford bread.

The extravagance of those costumes and luxury in tandem is one of the pushers who send her to the guillotine.

At the end of the film, because of the arrogance and lavishness of the nobles, the financial income cannot be made up, and the commoners are miserable. Louis XVI and the Empress were sent to the guillotine, and an era of several sinking fell.

Some believe that Mary's extreme worship of gold and supreme pleasures squandered the French treasury, thus leading to the chaos of destruction. These ideas are all one-sided, and I would like to ask how many years can France's decadent feudal regime persist in the flood of history?

But there is no way, when the chaotic world and beauty are linked, beauty can not avoid the deepest malice, I can't help but feel desolate and helpless.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >| modern application of Rococo-style clothing |</h1>

The eighteenth-century rendition of "The Absolute Queen" pushed the Rococo style to a climax until it declined.

In modern times, how have our fashion designers applied the Rococo style to this day? Let's take a look at it with the little assistant!

The modern design of Rococo clothing, I believe that many people first think of the gorgeous and flamboyant cute skirt in Cosplay.

The modern Rococo clothing style is different from the ornate court style pursued during the feudal aristocracy, but through disassembly, amplification and other means to make it no longer monotonous and unified, thus forming a new Rococo style of clothing.

Dior costumes are typical of the minimalist Rococo style, capturing both the core soul of rococo: refinement and the success of capturing elegance.

The lace element is extremely important in the Rococo style, and in the modern art of clothing, lace extends a variety of different styles, interpreting elegance to the extreme.

The ornate decorations and exquisite details of the Rococo style also play a pivotal role in the design of modern wedding dresses.

All in all, no longer monotonous and unified neo-Rococo style, it is conscious, selective, and closer to contemporary real life.

The little assistant admonished everyone: all the gifts given by fate have long been secretly marked with prices. Don't feel like you can easily get something, because everything comes at a cost and effort.

For a woman, only by improving her own connotation and character, only she can create her own life and realize the value of life. Therefore, when choosing a partner, more attention is paid to character and morality, material conditions are only add-ons, and the key to building a better life is love.
