Recently, Shu has reviewed several golden age films, and deeply feels that the aesthetics and style of that era are very classic. Classical and feminine, with a little mannerism but also natural, the beauty of that era, the face has a kind of tranquility and ethereality that is difficult to find in this era, all of them are like the characters in the painting, and the eyes are flashing with aura. Today I will share with you a few treasure beauties of the silent film era.
Lillian Gish
Lillian Gish
The first is Lillian Gisch, an American actress who is the first "American Sweetheart". Uncle thinks this platinum photo is very beautiful, the brown tone makes her face particularly soft and delicate, and her eyes are pure like water and feminine. The lips are small and delicate, and they look like ice and snow are smart, like a witch who has not yet grown.
Her face has a very strong sense of childishness, the whole person is the feeling of a delicate porcelain doll, innocent but with a hint of evil, sweet and mysterious, attracting people to approach her.
The side is also a god of anti-beating, the template is generally exquisite and sweet, every angle, every detail is a ghost.
The figure is petite, with the unique makeup and hair of the Golden Age, like a free and agile bird, a elf as light as a swallow, or a wayward little daughter of a rich family. The Golden Age refers to the period from the 20s to the 40s of the last century, when silent films are in decline, sound movies are rising, and jazz age drunken fans are still continuing, flashy and dreamy, and extremely beautiful.
This photo reminds Shu of Shi Xiangyun's drunken peony medicine pants, the same delicate and cute and pitiful.
Lillian Gish never married until she was 99 years old, and her acting career spanned a full three-quarters of a century. This unreal beauty is best presented in black and white photographs, enchanting the void, everything is like a dream bubble, they are the phantoms of that era, leaving only the photos to deceive people at this moment.
Betty Davis
Bette Davis
Monroe's beautiful sweetheart, and a Betty David, who has starred in "Comet Beauty" and "Soul Breaking Blue Bridge", Uncle feels that the sweet and delicate feeling on her body reflects the decadent beauty of sharp makeup and shape, and the temperament is very mixed and comprehensive.
Her facial structure is also a sweet style, short round face, facial soft tissue full, wide eye distance, cheekbones less white, the overall structure is biased towards goldfish, the lip line is rounded and plump.
The overall contour of the face is very square, there is no sharpness, the temporal fold angle is square and neat, and the lines are fine but not steep. The lower jaw is also a mild and slow type.
Uncle thinks that her facial features are feminine and spicy, the whites of her eyes are large and the eyeballs are black, always giving people a very delicate feeling, smart and gorgeous, and a bit of a brutal feeling.
The goldfish structure is a type that combines juvenile and glamorous, with slender eyebrows and curly hair bobo head, which has a spicy and sweet charm. The thin and flat eyebrows are like a non-cheek, and the exaggerated and thick eyelashes set off the domineering and gorgeous atmosphere of the face, which is very retro and very dramatic aesthetic.
The charm of that era lies in these flashy clothes, ambiguous and soft, like smoke and like dreams, and no girl should refuse to be a shining and swaying silent film heroine, wearing a step-by-step broken diamond high heels to dance a golden age dance.
Louis Brooks
Louise Brooks
Louis Brooks is the most glamorous and spirited of the silent film era, and her contribution to the history of fashion is even greater than that of film history. Bobohead and FLAPPER, she's more flavorful than The Great Gatsby, more Daisy than Daisy.
The beauty and magnificence of the Jazz Age is not the cream cake sweetness of rococo, but a true ethereal and elegant, a beautiful vision of a linear drape and a silk texture, and the mystery of a woman is the secret of attraction.
In the 1929 film Pandora's Box, Louis Brooks surprised the world with his short hair. A whole new fashion was invented, simple and supple but feminine, more sculptural than curly hair, more direct than long hair.
Louis Brooke's appearance is actually sharp, reflected in the nasal bone and nose, the lips are also thin type, the eyebrows are thin and low, close to the upper eyelids, the outer corner of the eye is slightly droopy, is a shrewd and at the same time very sad look.
The actresses of that era knew how to present the most casual and feminine posture in front of the camera, because the silent film conveyed the highest body language and expression to the actors, they did not deliberately pretend to be feminine, but the femininity has been integrated into the bone marrow.
Brigitte Helm
Brigitte Helm
The last one is Brigitte Helm, the heroine of Metropolis. The face is flexible and changeable, with clear lines and mature and cool. German film actress, born in Berlin, her first role was in "Metropolis", one person played two roles, both as a positive heroine and as a demonic robot.
Uncle thinks that her appearance is more mature and cool, and with the gorgeous and gorgeous Jazz Age style, it seems to have a kind of seductive magic. For example, this kind of head shape, the baby face will look a little funny, but Brigitte Helm looks like a snake girl charm.
Her structure, the lower court is the highlight, the proportions of the person are stretched, and the lines and forms of the lips are very restrained, adding a sense of indifference and intelligence.
Costumes, decorations, jewelry, the dazzling material beauty of that era, compared to the modern people who pursue simplicity and restraint, Shu feels that the people at that time have more insight into the aesthetic mysteries, and are willing to be infinitely close to the guidance of the god of beauty in the paper drunken gold fans, in order to leave so many beautiful shapes as if they are going to be feathered at any time.
Today, the style and beauty shared by Uncle Oxy are here.
