Beijing time on October 5th, the Hollywood "Angel Theater" announced the results of a survey on Hepburn movies. The main content of the survey is "the list of Hepburn movies liked by audiences in the 21st century". The majority of current fans voted. Everyone’s favorite Hepburn movie is a tribute to the Hepburn era in this way. According to the voting results of the audience, the first place among the favorite Hepburn movies by audiences in the 21st century is not the well-known "Roman Holiday" and "Tiffany's Breakfast", but a movie in all the attractions of Hepburn. Not particularly popular "Dragon and Phoenix". Of course, from the current point of view, "Dragon and Phoenix" can be regarded as a classic movie, but in the golden age of Hollywood and Hepburn's so many classic works, "Dragon and Phoenix" is not too outstanding from previous evaluations. Why is this? Can this movie become the favorite Hepburn movie of the audience? The first thing
needs to explain is that the audience targeted by this selection does not limit the region, but rather limit the audience's "viewing age". In other words, the audience who started to watch movies after the 21st century is the target of this survey, so this is the "21st century audience". Most of the movie fans in the new century are relatively young, and their favorite things are different from the old movie fans. "Roman Holiday" and other classic films before Hepburn were selected by fans of the last century. Because the fans in the past paid attention to the storyline and the spread of the works, they had a strong plot for "debut works" and "famous works", so At that time, movies such as "Roman Holiday" were Hepburn's classic masterpieces. But now the eyes of movie fans are different. The 21st century audience is influenced by the era of high-tech movies and likes to evaluate movies with fashion eyes, so now audiences like the more fashionable "Dragon and Phoenix".
The staff of the "Angel Theater" organizing the voting revealed that "Dragon and Phoenix" opened the classic Hollywood combination of Givenchy and Hepburn, which may be the reason why this film is so popular among the audience. Although the film quality of the golden age of Hollywood was high, the media resources were limited, and the audience at the time could not understand the creators behind the scenes like Do Givenchy. But now it's different. As people's awareness improves, everyone knows that the birth of a classic movie and the growth of a great movie star cannot do without these great behind-the-scenes workers. Audiences in the 21st century chose "Dragon and Phoenix" as their favorite Hepburn movie because their understanding of the behind-the-scenes workers has improved and they know the importance of characters like Givenchy to Hepburn's work.
Regarding this, the author believes that the reason why "Dragon and Phoenix" can overwhelm many Hepburn's "traditional classic movies" ranks first in the "Hepburn movies that audiences like in the 21st century", and there is a bigger reason-today In the hearts of the audience, Hepburn's "classic image" is greater than her "classic role". Indeed, now whether it is the media or the individual, when talking about Hepburn, the first thing to talk about is Hepburn's beauty, followed by her work and her contribution to the development of the film industry. The reason why Hepburn's image can stand out from the harsh aesthetics of today's audience is created by her sense of fashion that spans centuries.
Hepburn's fashion sense who created it? It is undoubtedly the "first person" Givenchy in the fashion industry in the last century, and it was the film "Dragon and Phoenix" that opened the half-century cooperation between the two classic characters. And just from the design of Givenchy in "Dragon and Phoenix", even if it is judged now, it is still not out of date, and Givenchy's design ideas in that film opened up the fashion elements of Hollywood films. Therefore, the "fashion elements" contained in this film and the appearance of Givenchy have made current fans highly aware of the film. Therefore, in this "ranking list of Hepburn movies liked by audiences in the 21st century", "Dragon and Phoenix" can rank first.
