If you feel sad, go to the woods

Sissy was born on the shore of Lake Steinberg, under the blue sky of Bavaria... Chen Danyan said that Bavaria has the bluest sky in the world and the lowest suicide rate in the country. Because there are always people who give up suicide because they can't bear such a sky.
There, Dad told her that if you're feeling sad, go into the woods.

Sissy first appeared on horseback, leaping over the rose bushes in high spirits. I remember the way the ribbons on her hat brim fluttered briskly, too. I have admired her posture with her legs resting on the same side of the horse's back when she was riding in a long skirt.
Such Sissy, with the healthy and pure atmosphere of the countryside, sailed down the Danube in a boat amid cheers and came to The Court of Austria, also came to His Majesty the King and our hearts...

Although I was educated by many people including history teachers, this is a film that is not very historical, even superficial. The story is told Try to be as perfect as possible, try not to hurt any wishes. Contradictions and oppositions are reduced to a process that must be temporarily experienced before a happy ending...
But it is appearing at the age when we first dream of the outside world, and ignorant yearning begins to grow cautiously and vigorously. Hope Akane became our idol who grew up looking forward to wearing new clothes every day.

Her large dresses layered with lace, velvet, silk... adorned with flower-shaped pearls in her hair, feather fans swaying gently in the lady's hand , delicate and lively balls, baroque palaces decorated with white candles and sky-blue drapery and Strauss' waltzes... Her story just met all the eager expectations of that poor age.
Like the music in the movie opening, Full of lyrical dreams, like the opening remarks of every fairy tale - long long ago, once upon a time...

I also like Ding Jianhua's voice, clean, innocent, stubborn, firm.
Every time it always makes me Thinking of Princess Sissi, who had just become queen, sitting in a velvet chair with a firm and graceful smile, still holding on to the freedom and truth she believed in when she was a Bavarian princess.
Franz said to her, your ingenuity and charm than my army and my marshal.

I know that the real Sissy is not so perfect. Her fairy tale ended after she married Franz Joseph.
The people who had opinions on her in the Vienna court were far more than the empress dowager Sophie alone, nobles She despised her existence at all, she had no right to raise children, and was unhappy all day. Franz turned a blind eye to all of this.
After their daughter died in Hungary, their only son, Crown Prince Rudolf, was the Queen Dowager Sophie in the movie The prince who was named Rudolph if he had a boy, committed suicide because he could not bear the depression for a long time...
And Sissy died in an assassination by an anarchist in 1898. On that day, she ended her long journey and Missing the children, he fell quietly by the lake far away from his hometown.

Before her burial, Franz cut a lock of her hair and saved it. He still loves her, but he is too tired. The gradually declining Habu The Burg Dynasty consumed all his energy, and the orthodox royal education he received from childhood told him that he was always ready to sacrifice his personal happiness for the royal family and the country.
So Xixi in the movie said to Franz more than once, if you are not Emperor, how wonderful that would be... A fairy tale birth turned out to be their greatest source of tragedy.
After Rudolph, Franz's nephew Ferdinand became his crown prince. But he was assassinated in Sarajevo The events of the first world war caused the Habsburg dynasty to end 600 years of rule.

Now our Sissy, and Franz and Rudolf rest in the Vienna imperial cemetery. There is a room that belongs only to Their burial chamber, experienced many misfortunes and disasters, the family can finally avoid all interruptions and be together forever.

The actor who played Sissy, Romy Schneider has passed away, and this fairy tale is also slowly in history class. Revealing the cruel truth...and those perfect pictures in the movie are preserved forever, let me continue to confidently believe in that distant and beautiful world...
like in the royal hunting grounds of Ishr, Sissy's first time Tell Franz that my favorite thing to do is horseback riding, my favorite flower is red roses, and my favorite thing to eat is apple pie.
Like a holiday in middle school, I was sitting next to the musical fountain in the square, watching my friend learn the dance steps from the movie...it was Sissy and our 15 years old.
