In a way, no one is more "Versailles" than Seydoux - after all, he was born in Paris, played in Versailles, and even acted in the palace of Versailles.

But here's where the twist begins. Lea Seydoux once said:

“France people are bitching about everything.”

She was talking about someone else as well as herself. We always talk about how French women are free, self-centered and spontaneous, not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of speech, attitude and personality.

In today's world dominated by dualism, all statements must be correct, especially by public figures, because every statement can intentionally or unintentionally hurt/disrespect a group, be misinterpreted, and then trigger attacks.

For women, people are more pursuit of "correct" guidance: to be confident, self-love, self-consistent; It is not right to feel inferior, it is not right to want to emulate others, it is not right to accept only one aesthetic.

So the more slogans are shouted, the more women, especially female celebrities, have to say something positive. There's nothing wrong with that. But when, like Seydoux, we complain, "I want attention, I hate attention," we breathe a sigh of relief - of course people are conflicted, it's a true part of human nature. In Seydoux, we see "Versailles", but also see "human reality".

In terms of appearance alone, she considers herself beautiful and at the same time not at all beautiful, anyway, not the kind of beauty in the crowd, she says that she is boyish, awkward, not elegant, and the nose is not feminine, "but I don't care, I am like all actors, narcissistic and vulnerable at the same time."

This said, I believe that many girls can fit into the seat - even the most successful and perfect woman will always be critical and dissatisfied with herself, isn't it? On the other hand, we always want to show confidence in front of others, do not want to hear from others to judge themselves, and finally often in the balance of confidence and inferiority at both ends of the walk back and forth. There is no shame in admitting it.

Taking her most well-known role "Bond girl" Madeleine as an example, from the right perspective, we would certainly describe this as a different role from the traditional Bond girl, she is more independent and strong, in the latest film, even Hollywood talented female screenwriter Phoebe Waller-Bridge to make the role more rounded; But for the audience, no matter how to promote the uniqueness of this role, it can not jump out of the "Bond girl" box, which itself carries a deep-rooted male perspective, in the Bond world, such a "vase" is inherently difficult to subvert.

Seydoux had this to say at this point: "People probably forget that Bond is also a sex object, and women like to see Bond's good body, right?" In this regard, the men and women in this series are not fundamentally different.

An unapologetic truth. We always make a point of not objectifying women, but for beautiful people on screen, both male and female, it is inevitable that they will carry the scrutiny and desire of the viewer. Also, acknowledging this essence does not mean denying the character's fun and novelty. Seydoux doesn't have a strong argument, but instead uses a seemingly stereotypical impression to make people identify with their hearts, which liberates the character.

It's easy to dismiss beautiful actresses as "flower vases," and Seydoux responds with a quote from French director Francois Truffaut: "An actress is like a vase. What you have to do is put flowers in it." She doesn't deny that she's a bit of a vase, but "whatever the director wants to present, I'll accept it."

The differences between the male and female perspectives of film-makers have also been discussed more and more in the past two years, and Seydoux's view is very straightforward: "Male directors always express their desire for women - how they want women to dress, how they want them to dress; Female directors are more like projecting themselves into their work." Then she added, "If I were making a movie, I would choose the type of man I like. It's just a projection of desire."

As for women's rights, Seydoux's perspective remains unorthodox: "It's good to be feminists, but we should also be masculinists, and vice versa, men should also be feminists, and we should support each other."

It may sound utopian, but Seydoux can say this, including all of her remarks above, because she lived and grew up in a relatively free and equal environment, "I never felt that I was less than a man, never thought that because I am a woman, I can not do certain things, I am very lucky," Because I know it's not like that everywhere."

We are too used to tying everything to the right, too harsh on the occurrence of wrong, more and more people say the right thing, but actually do the opposite, we can not be true to others, even difficult to be true to ourselves. Perhaps the most worthwhile thing for people to learn from French women is not dress or style, but to express themselves more freely and frankly, to tell about gender and desire, to tell about inferiority and narcissism, and to avoid their own contradictions, entanglements, and confusion.

Every human individual cannot be divided into black and white with "right" and "wrong", and the truth full of ups and downs is the charm of a person. Like Lea Seydoux. Very Versailles. Very cute.
