Jealousy , a very complex psychology, it contains anxiety, sadness, jealousy, shame, hostility, revenge and other unpleasant psychological states, when people have jealousy, will be united to the people who should be united, even blood thicker than water relatives, a strong rejection of the psychology, serious, will produce hatred.
The protagonist in today's story is controlled by jealousy for life, she hates her parents and hates her sister and hates men, she has been fighting with her sister all her life, she must "win" her, even if she dies, she must be earlier than her sister, so that she can never "surpass" herself, this person is the Hollywood legend Joan Fontaine, what is it that makes her become like this?
On November 21, 1917, a lovely baby girl fell to the ground in Tokyo, Japan, and her parents named her Joan Beauvoir de Havilland, a beautiful girl from an early age because Joan has Irish and English ancestry, and above her, there is a sister Olivier De Havilland who is 1 year older than her.
Since his father was a high-achieving student from Cambridge University and a well-known lawyer, and his mother was a stage actor who had studied at the Royal Academy of Drama, the sisters naturally developed well. Unfortunately, Joan was found to be suffering from anemia and measles shortly after birth, and for the sake of her health, her parents decided to take them back to the warm Southern United States.
Because the father still had some things to deal with in Japan at this time, the mother first took her daughters to the United States, and this decision indirectly changed the lives of the sisters.
Due to the gathering of less and more, the couple's feelings slowly faded, at the same time alone in Japan, the father, but also began to stir up the flowers, the mother learned, very angry, directly divorced with her husband, since then wholeheartedly take care of the daughters, send them to learn to sing and dance, hope that they become talented, in the age of 9 when Joan was 9 years old, the mother remarried to the department store owner Georges Fonden, the "struggle" of the sisters, officially kicked off.
Because of the lack of father's love since childhood, Joan and her sister Olivia are extremely eager to get the love of their mother, so no matter what the sisters do, they are comparing, better than who, then they can get more attention from their mother, but Joan loses to her sister a lot of times, so her mother is obviously more partial to Olivia, which makes Joan very sad.
Especially later the mother remarried, Joan worked harder, hoping to get the attention of her stepfather, but she failed again, the stepfather was also more partial to the sister, jealousy instantly filled Joan's heart, she even often regarded her sister as an "enemy", once her mother bought new clothes for her sister, Joan actually secretly cut it out, saw the skirt rotten Olivia, very angry, directly pushed down her sister, causing Joan to break the collarbone. And these are just the tip of the iceberg of the "struggle" between the sisters, and the seeds of hatred are quietly planted in their hearts.
Because her mother was a stage actor at that time, the sisters also embarked on this road, hoping to get the favor of their mother, the first to break through the fame, is still the sister Olivia, when she was 18 years old with the stage play "A Midsummer Night's Dream", a blockbuster in Hollywood, Warner directly signed a 7-year contract with her, in the following days, it also starred in many Hollywood films such as "Heroic Legend", "Robin Hood the Rogue", especially in 1938's "Gone with the Wind", which made her nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Looking at her sister's achievements, Joan is of course anxious in her heart, she is also eager for a chance to become famous, but when she got the opportunity to enter Hollywood, her mother actually forced her to change her name, the reason is very simple, a Hollywood can not have two "Havilland", Joan was very angry, but she also quickly agreed to her mother's request, because she did not care about the same surname as Olivia, so Joan changed her name to "Joan Fontaine", followed by her stepfather's surname.
In 1935, at the age of 18, Joan signed a contract with Raiden Hua Film Company to star in the movie "Not Many Ladies", and in the next few years, Joan starred in more than 10 films in one go, especially in 1940's "Butterfly Dream", in which Joan played a restrained, weak and deceitful girl, acting so exquisitely and touching people's hearts, with this role, Joan won the Oscar nomination for best actress in one fell swoop, and became famous in one battle.
In 1941, Joan was nominated for the Oscar again with the suspense film "Deep Doubt", and won the Best Actress Award at the 14th Academy Awards, and the person who competed with her for the award that year was her sister Olivia, when the host announced the result, Joan's whole person seemed to have a new life, and she finally won Olivia! Olivia, on the other hand, showed an angry expression.
In 1946, Olivia finally won the Best Actress Award at the 19th Academy Awards for the movie "The Seeds of the Wind", but the funny thing is that the person who gave her the award was her sister Joan, and Olivia, who won the trophy that year, did not even want to see Joan at a glance. The "hatred" of the sisters has become an open "secret" in Hollywood.
In addition to the continuous competition in the career, the sisters also tortured each other in love, they even competed, who married first, this time, the sister Joan won, she was engaged to the British actor Brian Achen at the age of 22, Joan, who lacked love from childhood, longed to get warmth in love, but unfortunately, the other party is not a person worth entrusting for life, divorced after a few years, in the days that followed, Joan married 3 men, but could not end well, the tortured Joan chose to be alone.
Looking at the sister who was repeatedly frustrated, her sister Olivia actually came to visit her from time to time and helped her take care of her daughter, which was one of the few moments of affection between the sisters, but then the death of her mother completely broke the sisters - because Olivia, who was responsible for the funeral, did not inform the news of Joan's mother's death, which made Joan's anger completely explode.
Later, in an interview with the magazine, Joan said: "I was the first to get married, the first to win the Oscar, if I even died one step ahead, then Olivia would be angry." On December 15, 2013, Joan died peacefully in her sleep at the age of 96, while her sister Olivia died seven years later at the age of 104, this time, Joan "won" her sister again.
Throughout Joan's life, full of bitterness, in order to win, she put on a cloak full of thorns, and lived her life and life as if she were on the battlefield, happiness is so precious to her, so far away. She and her sister fought all their lives, fighting until they died, but she was not waiting for her sister and mother to approach her and warm her battered heart.
The Koran says, "If you tell the mountain to come over, but the mountain does not come, then you go over." "If Joan had understood this sooner, perhaps she would have been happier?"
