Ah this, I have never seen such poisoned milk propaganda .......
Every time the materials of the live-action version of the Little Mermaid can cause a wave of public opinion war.
The new magazine blockbuster shape was piccinarily evaluated by netizens: "The end of nuclear wastewater discharged into the sea." ”
From an environmental point of view, the presentation of the blockbuster can indeed be understood as a public welfare theme calling attention to marine pollution.
But then again, Halle Bailey's Little Mermaid was at the center of the storm from the start. From casting that does not match the character of the fairy tale, to the melee of colored people, to the aesthetic wrapped in a position, it finally becomes a fact that has to be accepted.

Indeed, from the aesthetic perspective of the story, the casting + current propaganda direction has unsatisfactory places, but it is slightly one-sided to blindly attack established facts or public opinion.
Just like the image of a beauty like The Little Mermaid vs Siren Siren is two sides of the same coin, it is more meaningful to explore more diverse angles and correct charms.
The new version also changes the reason why the Little Mermaid came ashore | The characters are set, so you may as well look forward to the plot
Following Disney's casting to create a new image of the character, we might as well talk about the diverse and charming water beauty.
The water system ≠ completely weak, and it itself has a more comprehensive and more layered aesthetic expression
It is said that women are made of water, and it may be more beneficial to shape their own charm from the beauty of the water system.

Side A: The innocent little mermaid
(1) A juvenile assemblage of pure native characteristics of the water system: dream crystal dolls
Regardless of appearance or temperament, those mixed with pure, ignorant, like a naïve fairy-like existence, meet all people's imagination of fairy tales, and are the realistic embodiment of the "little" mermaid.
For example, the actress Victoria Novikova of the 1960s and 1970s.
Her expression and demeanor have a kind of innocence that does not know the world, and the comprehensive presentation is a quiet beauty like an oil painting.
It is indeed the daughter of the sea.
"Daughter of the Sea" 1976
You can always believe in the Russian aesthetic of the last century.
At that time, the film of the same name of the same year, there was also a version of Miroslava Shafrankova. The story is also presented like herself, full of sweet and pitiful dreamy beauty.
"Daughter of the Sea" 1976
Among the new generation of Hollywood, the little flower that inherited a little of the shadow of its predecessors in its heyday is Sadie Elizabeth Zink in 02.
Her beauty is very intuitive and vivid and brilliant girlishness, which fits people's aesthetic cognition of Ariel.
Similarly, Daeva Cassel, the daughter of Qiuhua in 04, is also a typical representative of the style trait of pure beauty and childhood.
Even the amorous mood is girly.
(2) Water system style + high contrast flesh atmosphere collision
A beautiful and beautiful embryo like Dai Wa, once an adult, will approach the rich and gorgeous state of her mother at the speed of light.
It may not be very close to the water system in the public imagination, but they represent well-protected beauties who grow up carefree (they are the type of juvenile version (1)).
The innocence wrapped in pure beauty and intimacy is a precious style.
If the charm of Western style that directly hits human nature is more recognizable, then the intriguing taste in Eastern style is more special.
For example, Haruka Ayase, known as "Milk Haruka", she is closer to a sweet dream of pure desire.
The slightly childish expression and behavior are not incompatible with her, perfectly blending the lustrous innocence of the Japanese system.
And Sun Yezhen, known as "Sun Immortal", is a representative of Korean style of water beauty.
Her temperament seems to be nurtured by wet moisture, and the final appearance is like a rainbow after the sun rain.
Brilliant and perishable, with colorful clouds easy to scatter glass brittle and melancholy, which is also the essence of water beauty.
The commonality of the two representatives of Japan and South Korea is that they are both a combination of angel faces and devil bodies, which is the ultimate pull of pure and sexy.
The difference lies in the ignorance and ambiguity in the style of the former, and the pity and bitterness of the latter.
This is the right way to open pure desire
This level of beauty, do not need to use hardware, relying on software charm is enough to grasp people's hearts, so it is also far away from the pretentious sense of surgical beauty, more natural.
Their white cut black is a contrasting charm like a drop of ink, which is highly anticipated because it is rare.
(3) A mature collection of cold and alienating characteristics of the water system: the sharp and thin beauty god
The beauty under this collection is closer to people's perception of the style of water system in most cases.
For example, in terms of aesthetic presentation, it tends to be close to the all-knowing and all-powerful Quan Zhixian.
Her beauty has never been about how perfect and accurate her facial features are, but basically do not need to do anything, can easily pry open people's brains and forcibly implant the concept of "beauty".
The tidbits are much more beautiful than many painstaking posing shots
The same sharp and slender, under the Japanese interpretation, gave birth to the originator of fragile beauty, Nakamori Akina.
Her charm is never like the appearance of a touch, but a tenacious and brilliant essence.
The style is very varied and the charm is diverse
It can be said that sharp, transparent, seemingly crunchy and brittle, but solid energy is the core of their style.
The sense of distance from (1) and (2) is at completely different poles, the cold alienation forms the skeleton of temperament, and the artistic beauty of poetry and sculpture crowns them
The aesthetic of the show that can interpret this style temperament is this year's Tony Ward, which is very clear and cold, and ice-like charm.

Side B: The deadly and charming Siren Siren
The Siren Siren was born out of people's imagination of erotic beauty.
"Daughter of the Sea" 1968
In ancient Greek mythology, Siren was the daughter of the river god Ecrous, a beautiful goblin born from the blood of the river god, sometimes transformed into the image of a mermaid.
As a siren with a human face, she flies above the sea and has a soul-grabbing singing voice, like a kingfisher from the deep sea.

The characters who are more successful in casting in the later stage also continue this cyan beauty from the deep sea and the firmament.
The Little Mermaid 2018
Another beautiful representative of Medusa is the youngest daughter of the original sea god Forcus.
In Roman poetry, she is a miserable beautiful girl who suffers injustice because of her beauty and eventually degenerates into a villain, and she is also a representative of the dark beauty
Isabel Adjani
In the summer of 1981, a billboard was erected on the beach of the 34th Cannes International Film Festival, and the movie poster of "Enchanted" on it used the image of Medusa.
It is also with the role of "Enchanted" that Adjani has become a well-deserved best actress in the cold acting school.
"Enchanted" 1981
In short, the dark side charm of the beauty of the water system is well-deserved, elegant and full of style.
(1) Surgical beauty: hardware > style
As the "water-style version of Satomi Ishihara", Nami Tanami, she relied on precise sexiness from the beginning of the controversy actress to the salty and wet beauty representative of the reversal of popularity later.
This precise "technique" has always been a double-edged sword.
In the early days, Tanaka was dragged down by word of mouth, and in the later stage, he relied on frank sexiness to win back a round, which shows that this tightrope-walking style is not so easy to control.
But one of the reasons why she can reverse her reputation is that whether contrived or generous, she herself has always been the product of precise femininity, and can get rid of the greasy and refreshing undertone at any time, which waits for success.
(2) Originator of atmosphere: style > hardware
If Tanaka is sexy and forced to drive ducks to the shelves for the sake of human character, then Tanmi is a natural, playful progenitor of men.
Similar shooting style, milk Yao also has the same atmosphere photo. Even if she is pure enough, she is far from being as good as the hook of the honey above.
The top salty and wet style of Tanmi is not only the completely feminine hardware and software atmosphere--- such as thin curved eyebrows, nude lips, long curly hair, skin exposure and so on.
The most fatal point is her soul eye.
The corners of the eyes are pointed + the eyebrows are curved, and they have always had to hook away the deepest hidden desires of people's hearts before they can stop.
From this amorous point of view, I am somewhat of the Asian version of Monroe.
And this is also the reason why her facial features are not as good as Tanaka's, but she can control sexiness more than her, Tanaka's eyes are still a little straight and clear, which is contrived in the early days.
Right | Tanaka, my personality should be closer to dignified and generous
When it comes to actresses who are not very beautiful but can make people feel beautiful, there is always Kim Min-hee, and her and the source of Tanmi's style are also six or seven points similar, both of which are more natural and free charms than techniques.
(3) Classic beauty: both hardware style
In a sense, a beauty with poor acting skills = a beauty without much charm.
Because multi-charm is also a kind of accumulation from the inside out, it does not need to be interpreted in itself. But if you can't even act, why not be charming, barren and lacking.
Therefore, a beautiful and charming acting like Adjani is the star of stars.
Including the naturally beautiful green baby like the incarnation of a Kraken.
and Jessica Alexander, the actor of the villain Ursula in the live-action version of "The Little Mermaid", which slightly inherits the rhyme of her predecessors.
They all look at the hardware alone and have reached the conditions of hooking people, and the style is the icing on the cake.

Two sides of the same coin: a dialectical aesthetic of maturity and inclusion
If we use a sentence from the Tao Te Ching to understand the beauty of each faction, the core is: "With its light, with its dust." ”
Harmony with their brilliance also absorbs the dust they bring.
The water beauty intertwined by the AB surface is closer to the rounded tolerance, elegant and timeless temperament, and tenacious and positive energy, which can not be summarized by a single indifference.

This beauty image is also close to the childhood memory animation that laid the aesthetic foundation of many post-90s generations--- Aquaman in "Sailor Moon".
She is a mixture of elegance and tenacity, calm and pragmatic.
An elegant violinist and a ruthless strategist. But aside from serious occasions, there is more tolerance and tenderness that makes people indulge in it.

Including the setting of Yin Xiamo in "Bubble Summer":
Under the sun, the girl had long hair as thick as seaweed, slightly curled. The eyes are like seawater, the skin is very white, it is ivory, and the whole person looks lazy and faint.
She was smiling, but her eyes were indifferent. ”
It is also because of the full self, but the beauty that makes people unable to take their eyes off.
Since then, long hair like seaweed + beautiful face with high contrast + elusive flow style has become the recognized charm formula of water beauty.

This also explains why Lequier's full face can also be very beautiful mermaid.
She extends the hot and sweet of a beach beauty on the basis of the above. Compared with the cold seabed, it is more like the warm sea surface under the sun, with a straightforward and moving brilliant energy.
It can be seen that beauty and charm are never fixed formulas.
Looking back, look at the new version of the Little Mermaid Harley Bailey with a dialectical attitude, she is more like a target pushed in front of people by traffic public opinion, and most of the negative energy she bears.
Every time, it stands on the side of challenging the public's aesthetic cognition, which has nothing to do with the position, but is simply "not beautiful enough".
It's just a word difference, but it's very different from the charm of the predecessor Harry Berry.
However, the root of audience opinion is never skin color, but aesthetic degradation.
Such a black pearl mermaid is equally receptive to by the public
If looks are innate, then the figure can at least be managed.
But looking at her recent show blockbuster, she didn't find the slightest shadow of dedication like the originator of black supermodels.
Therefore, unjust, not so unjust.

In short, beauty does take many forms.
And choosing what to draw from it is more positive for us than what to be rhythmically injected by the external environment.
