What I had to do: answer simple question and luck
the movie is NC 16 and in FRENCH. which i obvs din understd, but the subtitles were GREAT, compared to those for Defiance, so i had no trouble understding at all. think its NC 16 becuz of all the sexual kinda scenes and booze and cigars going on there. n no its not very explicit or wad.
basically, i dun like the movie.
its confusing for one. i tot it was abt how Coco Chanel came to be. indeed, it was. there was a "main" plot abt how she had a unique sense of style and thinking since the beginning. but the side plots made it confusing. n derogatory for Coco Chanel.
It started with her shown to be orphaned/abandoned along with her sister by her dad long ago and they grew up singing at bars for a living. the singing at bars part dun misunderstd. its a different era and the bars are dirty with prostitutes running ard too. so its not like those aspiring singers trying out their new songs on an audience kinda thing. instead, it was a bit like cha-cha. i duno, the feel of the song. anyway the song is abt some doggy that they lost, did anyone see it or blah, it sounded like those childish songs "old macdonald had a farm" that kind. and the dog's name was Coco =.= ok now Coco Chanel's real name was Gabrielle then she somehow started using Coco.
then she got to noe some merchant who said cld intro her to some ppl so that she can actually sing and dance on an actual stage. i tot she was those 女强人 but somehow along the way, she had sex or sth with that man while rehearsing for that interview to perform on stage. like WTH?! so u wld do anything to get ur way? at least thats the msg that i got. n so disappointed cuz i tot she wld be more independent and strong.
ok then her sis got married to rich guy, she left alone liaoz. she ran to the merchant's hse in paris or smewhere. then live there as his mistress and cldnt really go out with him in public blah. then she oso started to make hats, which quite alot of women took interest in eventually.
she oso met some guy called "boy" erm thats his nickname. n he spoke some english thank god. refreshing to hear aft more than an hour of french. she found true love. but eventually the guy died. aww...pathetic. in this period of time, she was like "borrowed" by the merchant to this "boy" guy. its demeaning to women k not like how it was supposed to portray Coco as different frm other women frm her era - indep and all. like the guy knew that she is a mistress and "belongs" to the merchant. but being best frens the merchant oso like okok with it. but thru the movie, i got the feeling that the merchant started to develop fatherly feelings for her. cuz "boy" was like really in love with Coco Chanel but he had a fiancee back in England.then the merchant din wan Coco to get hurt aft finding out then he oso got offer to marry her so that she can sorta have status and be legal. =.= wads the use she doesnt even like u.
ok then the movie oso ended abruptly like Coco was seen dressed in black and white sitting on a flight of stairs as models pass her by. it was a fashion show la but i was wondering whether Coco had been hidden frm view frm the audience or she really is blatantly sitting down there looking at her pieces of art...=.= then aft the show ended she stood up and like bask in glory. then ended. WTH.
