Les Enfants du Paradis. I am in the mood for a female independence appreciation day. Also freedom from racist cliches and stereotypes. This subject is very hard to find in current or older films and I can't find a film of mainstream that comes close to addressing this topic.

 "Les Enfants du paradis (1945) - trailer". BFI Trailers. October 11, 2014.

The independent woman must be confined, trapped and domesticated by the wealthy men "in power". Ah, the rescue scene at the baths near the end of the film! Ah! The longing for love lost but retained in memory! Ah! The funny and easy-going nice guy wins but loses her heart. The jealous domesticated wife clings onto the formerly free male who had the love of the independent woman nearly scorned and derided for her stance to be free of confinement. 

Ah! What a film. Made by Jews who were not persecuted during the 3rd Reich but it was an anomaly. Now the entire spectrum has been Nazified in lead roles for women both in France and in America--always blonde always with blonde hair that is supposed to be the desirable female at the top of the food chain. The brainwashing continues and the Nazi propaganda machine is still cranking out it's stifling boxes of confinement and the media industry is still welcoming in the tanks of control with red carpet and fanfare.

So I love this film but can only watch it once or twice as something about it tweaks my constant threat because I always was an independent spirit and have been thwarted and the people assaulting me are working to confine me in every single way--with the tacit approval of society en masse using their death squad terrorist system of control and manipulation and destruction.

"Natasha and Andrei's Waltz: War and Peace (Война и мир)". Jasmine Trinks. October 30, 2012.

This is so exquisite--the form, the grace, the camera shots from above-the dancing of course--

the Russian version--I must watch this film

Also glad to see that the beautiful woman is not the endlessly portrayed "blonde" which is always now considered the epitome of beauty in these racist and sexist movie plots (especially the romantic comedies). Of course this film is "old" and so the shift towards absolute racist conceptual ideology incorporated into character traits conforming to racist principles are more entrenched than they were all these years ago. You can see the same with the 40's version of Les Enfants du Paradis.

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 2009 Trailer HD | Michael Nyqvist | Noomi Rapace". Trailer Chan. July 4, 2017.

This film trilogy in my opinion is one of the best movie series I have ever seen---and it's NEVER listed in any of the mainstream lists of greats for best film on any site. Even on feminist sites it is not listed (for major movie lists of top whatever movie hits of all time or all the fodder that is cranked out about what is deemed "best" by some panel probably mostly comprised of chauvinist men and their subdued women who basically are the "good girls" who essentially are rapist enablers.

Too bad Noomi Rapace has not created a role this powerful or dynamic since this movie came out and has instead become something of a fashionista (very common with these movie stars) and the rough and strong woman has been groomed down into a celebrity powder puff.

Of course the real credit goes to the author of the book series from Sweden--Eva Gabrielsson---along with her partner the incredible and daring, bold Stieg Larsson-- the male credited for the concept (but you know Eva had much of the strong woman feminist input that created this book series and was the impetus for the daring concepts attributed to the punkster female protagonist).

What a film--and also a credit to a certain segment of the former (or perhaps current as well) "punk" culture (however you want to define it--I prefer it to mean the punk against authority but not the fascist Nazi branch that grew out of the original movement and twisted it into an aggression and hate/anger sirocco.

"FANNY: The Right To Rock - Official Film Trailer". Fanny: The Right to Rock. March 23, 2021.

"We broke through that (cock rock) barrier (my inclusion in parenthesis)...and we just did it."--

This band just popped-up on my YouTube channel and I have never heard of them. I will hear more of them now---(why haven't I heard of them before?)

"Dancers. Tap Dancing. Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney. Girl Crazy, 1943. I've Got Rhythm Part 2". Andrew Choreographer. June 13, 2019.

A celebration of cowboys, guns, cannons and stomping synchronicity. Of course it's only the men who get to hold and shoot the guns.

"Call Me Madam 1953 You're Just In Love Compilation". Victor Lee. June 14, 2014.

Ethel Mermen was dressed in frills and satin and lace still tough and not timid to speak up, even while dressing in exquisite "girly" gowns which hail the feminine mystique. Beautiful but strong, witty and caustic but in a funny (and acceptable) way. Not afraid to take the lead. 

Twinkly, charming, light and fluffy (and in addition--look at her DRESS! Gorgeous!). I wish movies like this would come back in style--silly, happy and about love and friendship and happy living.

Slight correction/addition. Having walked away from this "mind control" zone where I sit at the laptop, I "remembered" what I had wanted to write but got lost fighting to backspace, correct, retype and think clearly.

I did not mean that all the romance especially romantic comedies feature exclusively blonde woman--the small spectrum of color allowed for such roles spans a very limited area of brunette but light-haired at that. Perhaps a red-head is also allowed to have love and fun---I meant "blonde" but the Nazi definition also includes various lighter shades not specifically of the yellow spectrum of hair color. The facial features that Nazis only claimed were of "superior" and thus entitled to love and have fun status on this planet of the misery that this racist bigot group inflicts upon most of the darker races of the world remain consistent in movies: a square jaw, blue/green or contact-Nazi enhancing colors---square jaws can be manufactured by plastic surgery and I'm sure many a famous female Nazi/mafia celebrity has had extensive sculpting of her jaw and face in order to conform to these standards of acceptability--even if they have black skin--the necessity to appear structurally in the Nazi confines remains the same standard throughout.

I just saw a photo of the Miss Universe pageant winner who comes from India. She looks like any white suburban blonde except that every other feature of her face appears only in a different color. I feel certain that she had her face reconstructed to create that square jaw look and whatever else was done (only a theoretical guess). I know a bit about beauty pageant winners due to my motorbike shop sending off their daughter to have extensive plastic surgery before she "won" the national contest for "beauty" (manufactured to conformity to Nazi standards).
