And luxury, only a hollow kiss

And luxury, there is only a hollow kiss
so

that montage...Bright, fast, changing, layered skirts, high-back pointed shoes with thick heels, close-up rouge, close-up red lips...It is the most passionate in the movie, The most obsessive fashion beauty is piled up to express the joy and luxury of Queen Marie Antoinette.

When Mary, in full dress, was satisfied with the new hairstyle and new fashionable dress, she gave her companion a warm, hollow kiss. It is said that that is also the most fashionable etiquette in New York parties today, replacing the intimate face-to-face ceremony, with the indulgence of self-entertainment.

Because of her, Paris has left the small Trianon Palace, a treasure of art. But the world will admire the beauty while refuting: happiness is hypocritical, and luxury is negative, just because she is a country behind. Those who are more philosophical would say that happiness and luxury are as short-lived, and it's just a passing moment. When it comes to happiness, philosophy is almost negativity. And what is tearing apart her happiness and luxury is the people who decided to let her die.

Sophia Coppola’s movie did not attempt to show her death. It is said that she put on a luxurious red dress before going to the guillotine, which is unprecedented; she accidentally stepped on the executioner’s feet and said sorry to the executioner for this reason.

The girl was married to the French court at the age of 14. It is written in the movie: The puppy in the arms, the close female companion, and the entire outfit will all be abandoned in order to make her meet the standards of the French court. At the age of 19, she woke up in her pajamas and suddenly became the Queen of France. At the age of 38, when Fenghua Zhengmao, sons and daughters are beautiful, and her husband can finally love each other shallowly and deeply depend on, he was executed by angry people. The Queen Mary in the shot was not panicked, and even did not take into account the danger to her life. Looking at the angry mob alone at night, only wishing not to be separated from his family.

It feels somewhat chilling: after all, she is a woman who knows too little, except for the luxury life itself, she is even unsophisticated, does not know how to protect herself or use scheming. When she was very young, the astrologer advised her: never celebrate your birthday. She listened to this admonition, but still couldn't rewrite her short-lived fate. In fact, since she was born in the Austrian Royal Palace, she has no so-called "self". The fortune-teller may see through the secrets, only to comfort her implicitly. But hundreds of years after this beautiful woman died, people were still blaming her.

The palace’s golden walls are splendid, luxurious and niche. Her husband is dull and introverted. He is more interested in hunting than Yunyu. His eyes have not been opened yet. The maids are already standing there. They don’t need to stretch out their hands from changing clothes to taking a bath. Even the body is the palace system. Of it. The surprise, shyness, curiosity, boredom, boredom, and grievance that the petite queen had had... this is the other heavy weight in the luxury scale. Since her husband can’t give her happiness, she doesn’t have any serious things to worry about. If she can still express her sensuality in the glamorous costumes, and be excited by a new hairstyle that stands half a meter tall, what's wrong with her?

Marie Antoinette was extravagant because she didn't know how much these things cost. From childhood to adulthood, she moved from the Austrian palace to the French court, and no one tried to tell her what it means to be suffering in the world. This simple woman has been imprisoned in the palace for a lifetime. The luxurious etiquette and appearance are only the only educational content she receives, and the only instinct that can be used by her wantonly.
A historian once jumped out to argue that she may have never said the famous saying: "If the people don't have bread to eat, why don't they eat cake?" Regarding luxury, only luxury people have the blessings of self-justification and self-appreciation. . We are just trying to speculate: If she doesn't do this, how can she kill the boring court life? How to satisfy her mother's exhort at the time of parting: let the French people say that Austria sent an angel?

Luxury can always only be a hardcover shell. As a queen, forbearance is to hold back tears, walk into corners, and cry, and must persist in rituals and performances that make people sleepy. I especially remember that shot-when she had neither love nor children-standing alone on the grand balcony in the sunset, as thin as a shadow, like an angel without wings, trapped in a man-made paradise.

What is the sin of luxury? Many times men don’t know why women go to bed and forget about food for beautiful clothes, shoes, and hair. It’s just because they can’t give the same level, the same weight, and the same lasting happiness. A man who understands this principle will easily offer money and let beautiful luxury goods replace him to please women, so as to forget the harshness of himself and life.

The queen is really happy when she has a child, fulfilling the simple reality that the queen is just a woman. Royal Pastoral may be truly independent. The simple clothes she specially ordered is to get close to the soil and animals. She lazily listens to a soft guqin song. The little princess' delicate hands strokes the soft lamb and invites the royal sisters. Taste the homemade cheese and milk...and there, fall in love with a heroic general. But history will not record the time when a woman is so comfortable, nor will she reduce the pressure on her luxury because she has made such hard attempts. It is said that a strong wind on December 26, 1999 destroyed many precious trees in the Little Trianon, including a tulip tree planted in 1771. It is said that that tree hears Mary more than humans. The queen's pure laughter.

The significance of this story is actually very clear: a woman needs to be entangled in order to obtain the satisfaction of life. It can be a bustling sensual, a flawless child, or a rural countryside; of course, it can also work overtime year after year, but you are a queen and have no class. It can be added, but after being the King of France, he will be chased by the people.
I have also heard that some people are quite disgusted with this movie, thinking that Sophia Coppola will only use rock music with luxury items, regardless of the bad reviews Marie Antoinette has received in history. I think this is a bit of a mess. History Whether it is possible to give justice to a woman behind the regime is inherently unclear. Rather than seeing this expression as a woman's imagination of another woman nowadays, women who have spanned hundreds of years have the same thing: that is our surrender to luxury and the demand for happiness.
