The evil lord was recently amazed by a set of GIFs brushed on Weibo.
In the comments, it is also stunning by the figure of the immortal:
The "fairy beautiful sister" in the mouths of netizens is named Ced Charis.
She was 37 years old when she starred in the film.
But between the swaying postures, there is still a playful and agile girlish girl.
Between the hands and feet, there is the elegance and charm of a mature woman.
Especially the pair of jade legs worth 5 million yuan, people can't take their eyes off it, and it is no wonder that she has the reputation of "Hollywood's first beautiful leg".
MGM had insured her long legs for $1 million
She has been studying ballet since childhood, and she began to participate in European tours at the age of 13, and she has a very deep dance background.
At the age of 25, she switched to the big screen, signed to MGM in her heyday, and after becoming a company dancer, she participated in a number of classic song and dance films, including the pinnacle of "Song in the Rain".
It can be said that she witnessed the most glorious era of song and dance films, and also witnessed the end of song and dance films.
The film in the GIF is her last song and dance film at MGM, and it is also "the last one in the era of song and dance films", and she has become the "last goddess" of song and dance films.
With the last hint of romanticism of that era, the film has a name that comes to mind:
Glass stockings
Silk Stockings
Dancing with Side in the film is Fred Astaire, who was the king of Broadway and Hollywood double dance at the time, and "American women dream of dancing with one".
Fred, who was 53 years old at the time, was still in the wind, and he and Saide were almost matched.
The story takes place in the romantic capital of Paris.
Fred Astaire plays Steve, a filmmaker from the United States.
In order to ask the talented former Soviet musician Borov to compose his new film, he personally went out to Paris to find Borov, who was performing here.
In order to invite (detain) artists belonging to the state back to his homeland, the Soviet Ministry of Art also sent 3 members to Paris.
Unfortunately, the 3 commissioners were soon "poisoned" by Steve and fell into the drunken gold fans of capitalism.
In desperation, the Soviet Ministry of Art had to send their killer: Comrade Ninocheka.
This iron-boned and upright female official, more pure than men, put an end to all entertainment activities at the age of 16, became the captain of the women's tank team at the age of 18, only had national interests and lofty ideals in mind, and the three "fools" who went to Paris before were not all the same thing.
When she first arrived in Paris, she was dissatisfied with everything that was "decaying" here.
The porter wants to help her with her luggage, which she believes is an inequality in society and insists on doing it herself.
Going upstairs to take the stairs is not willing to take the elevator, and the luxurious hotel suite is also disliked, which is not as good as the workers' dormitory where she lives.
Seeing the beautiful ladies stockings in the window, she was even more disdainful: how did this civilization survive?
Soon Steve arrived.
In response to Borov's return to China, the two began to confront each other.
Ninocheka is serious about having to talk to Steve:
On behalf of the USSR, I ask you to deal seriously with this matter!
Steve, on the other hand, only wants to flirt with Ninocheka:
Honey, we're in Paris in the middle of spring
In order to drag Nino back, Steve lied that Bolov was actually of Mixed French and Russian descent, and that if he wanted to take him back to France, he had to ask his French father if he agreed. Unfortunately, his father was on a business trip abroad and would not be able to come back for a while and a half.
He also offered to take Nino to explore the "joys" of Paris.
Although Nino did not think of this "profligate stimulus", she agreed in order to penetrate deep into the enemy.
The next morning, when the hotel was not open, Nino was ready to go, which was probably the earliest day since Steve came to Paris.
Steve wanted to show her a woman's favorite Paris, so he took her to see diamond jewelry, beauty salons, luxury costumes, and high-end restaurants.
Nino was unmoved, and instead she smiled when she inspected the workers in boiler plants, steel plants, cement workshops, and assembly lines.
Nino had not yet been seduced by capitalism, and Steve had fallen first.
This old-fashioned robot-like, ridiculous and somewhat cute woman fascinated him.
When he sent her back to his room, he couldn't help but kiss her.
Nino was very calm, and the two began a second confrontation on love and pleasure.
Nino argues that physiological attraction is nothing more than traceable electronic chemistry.
Steve told her that love is love, love when you want to love, and that's enough.
Under Steve's belt, the two danced together for the first time.
In the beginning, it was Steve who guided it with full authority.
Slowly, Nino's body danced involuntarily with the melody.
After a dance, Nino was intoxicated.
She knew she should resist this "indulgence," but she couldn't resist the pleasure of this "indulgence."
She no longer thinks dancing is a waste of time, and even asks for kisses with integrity, just because it makes people relax.
In this way, the trump card of the Soviet Ministry of Art, Comrade Ninocheka, also "fell".
She began to enjoy the fragrance of the flowers, enjoy the singing of the birds, began to open the windows and enjoy the spring of Paris.
On the other hand, in order to persuade Borov to score the film, Steve decided to use the killer: the beauty plan.
He invited the heroine of the film, the famous American actress Miss Dayton, to Paris.
The enthusiastic Miss Dayton took Bolov to the couture runway, singing and dancing while changing clothes, up and down her hands, and again to pick up and down the rain.
Where the shy and introverted Soviet artists saw this situation, they were immediately taken care of.
The old-fashioned and conservative Nino had never seen this formation, and she had come to talk to Borov, and she couldn't help but be deeply attracted by these pearlescent neon coats.
Back in the hotel room, there is the most classic solo dance at the beginning.
Nino faded off the dull overalls one by one, and first carefully placed the transparent stockings with glass luster on his chest, and hesitated to change them.
Then she changed into light pajamas, corsets, petticoats hidden all over the room, a cute bow top hat, shining diamonds, and finally a pair of high heels.
At that moment, she finally transformed into a complete self, like a butterfly with a broken cocoon, spinning and jumping for the first time.
The next day she agreed to Borov's request to compose a soundtrack for Steve's film, and she visited the set and danced together under Steve's guidance.
When the love affair was strong, Steve proposed to Nino.
But before Nino could agree, the two men fell out again over the issue of opinion.
Because Borov found that the Americans had changed the elegant classical music he created to "vulgar" pop music, which made him unacceptable.
Nino elevated this behavior to "humiliation of the country."
Unwilling to listen to Steve's explanation any longer, Nino forcefully brought Bolov back to the country and completed the mission.
After returning to the arms of the group, Nino put back on her overalls and changed back into the arrogant female officer.
But feelings are not deceptive, she is always looking forward to Steve's letters, and she will also shed tears of longing when reading letters.
Although the contents of those letters have been deleted by the security services, only a beginning "My dear, Nino" and an ending "Yours, Steve" are left.
When Borov returned to China, he also fell in love with the song of depravity.
He finally understood that there is no distinction between classical and popular, and that compared with elegant and obscure classical music, simple popular pop music can bring joy to more people.
On the other hand, Steve also suffered from lovesickness, and he could not get a Russian passport, so he had to find a way to get Nicole back to Paris.
He anonymously wrote a whistleblower letter to the Soviet Minister of Culture, reporting that three Ministry of Culture officials who had been responsible for cultural export were not doing their jobs in Paris.
Sure enough, the minister once again sent nino, a capable general.
Only this time, Nino may not be able to complete the task...
Like all classic song and dance films, this "Glass Stockings" is also full of dazzling beauty costumes and endless dances.
The powerful people of that era danced every step of the way, and every sentence they sang was into people's hearts.
After all, the solid skills and capable typhoons accumulated on the stage for many years are beyond the reach of today's actors who have been training for a year and a half.
In addition to Said's stunning solo dance, the film also ends with a performance tailored specifically for Fred.
Because this is also Fred's last song and dance film in 16 years at MGM.
This is the end of a generation of dance kings, and it is also the end of an era of elegance.
In addition to the joyful dance, the dialogue of the film is also very subtle, humorous and funny.
There is a sneer at the sharpness of the imaginary enemy:
There is also no shortage of rational reflection.
The passage of Nino and Steve's argument is interesting even now:
Political metaphors aside, the film's portrayal of women's self-consciousness awakening is even more moving.
Side's nimble solo dance is not just a dress-up show. Those glass stockings also awakened her pursuit of beauty, the search for pleasure, the desire for love, and the liberation of herself.
We have an old saying, "A woman is pleasing to herself."
But this movie tells us that women should be happy with themselves.
Glass stockings are not "civilizations that should die."
It represents a kind of bravery, a kind of love, a kind of self-confidence: it is never a shameful thing to know one's own beauty, to show oneself generously, and to enjoy the pleasure that all this brings to oneself.
