The 2024 awards season has been around for some time, and "Oppenheimer" has already topped the Golden Globe Awards among the favorites for this season's nominations, which can be said to lead the entire awards season. And this year's other phenomenal global hit movie, "Barbie", was not so lucky. 
Greta Gerwig, who is already the world's highest-grossing female director, will serve as the president of the jury of the main competition unit of the next Cannes Film Festival. Barbie and Gerwig have been recognized in Europe for their influence and achievements throughout the year 2023. However, in Hollywood, which emphasizes "correctness", the two most important women in the filmmaking process, she and Margot Robbie, were upset in the Oscar nominations. 
In the category of Best Original Song, Billie Eilish is the best in the world. Her song for the film, "What Was I Made For?" has won 11 awards so far, including the Golden Globes, and is expected to win another Oscar. Compared with the controversy of the "Barbie" movie, Bili's original song seems to have an undoubted excellence. Click **
At the 66th Grammys a few days ago, Bili and her brother took home one of the most prestigious awards, "Song of the Year", and her costume for the night was a nod to the same look from the 1965 retro Barbie. 
I believe that the audience who heard this melody in the cinema last year will be able to empathize with "What Was I Made For? A unique experience. The melody is concise and very memorable, and Bili's ethereal voice strings together heartbreaking lyrics, which are enough to bring the entire theater to tears. Unexpectedly, it only took her and her brother Finneas half an hour to write the song. 
As one of the most unique songs in the "Barbie" deluxe soundtrack, director Gerwig first showed Billie a rough cut of the movie, hoping that she could create a song that sang Barbie's heart. At that time, Billie was in the midst of a long-term lack of creativity, and his psychological state was also in darkness, and he lacked a sense of meaning in life. And the story of "Barbie" lit her up, and the deep resonance with Barbie made her hit by inspiration. 
She put herself in Barbie's perspective and wrote a series of lyrics that go straight to people's hearts, and the title of the song is like Barbie's interrogation of her own existence in the film. In the self-directed and self-starred MV, he also appeared in the image of a retro Barbie, like a little girl playing with a doll, fiddling with the miniature version of the iconic shape she once wombled, until a storm blew these baby clothes away. "The world is falling apart as I try to protect these old versions of myself. When she looks at her years from a third perspective, her experience echoes Barbie to some extent. The song was written for Barbie, but also for Billie herself. 
At the age of 14, she was discovered at a young age with a song "Ocean Eyes" that she composed at random, and at the age of 17, she became a monster newcomer in the pop music scene with the hit single "Bad Guy". Billie Eilish's road to fame is too smooth, on the one hand, thanks to God's voice, she and her brother's creative talent, uninhibited girlish attitude and eye-popping style have all established her status as a cool and beautiful girl idol.
She can spit spiders in her mouth in the MV and have black tears in her eyes. She has neon green hair, always wears the loosest streetwear, wears the hottest limited-edition sneakers, and hangs a hip-hop diamond necklace around her neck. With a funny expression and a world-weary face, he sings the coolest songs, speaks the most rebellious personal language, and shouts to the whole world.
People who pay attention to the European and American entertainment circles should not forget how popular the pear style was during that period. She has become a teen idol sought after by everyone, and at the same time serves as the spokesperson of mainstream mourning culture.
2018 to 2020 was the period when Billie became popular in all its aspects. The first ** "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?".After its release, it swept the popular ** world like a storm. The award luck is also surprisingly good, and every time I go to the award ceremony, it seems to be a purchase.
In 2020, Billie Eilish returned home at the Grammys, becoming the youngest winner in history to win both "** of the Year" and "Song of the Year" in 4 out of 7. This year is a big year for the Grammys, and the nominees who co-starred with Bili gathered big names, such as Taylor Swift, Lana Del Ray, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande...And 18-year-old Billie Eilish was the biggest winner of the night.
But for a young rookie singer, the Grammys' wave of operations is somewhat of a killing. People are always happy to hear about the ups and downs of superstars, and there are many stories of geniuses stumbling. In the world of Vanity Fair, Billie himself realizes that this tall building erected on the ground is actually not solid. On the one hand, she enjoys the true feelings and falsehoods that are pouring in from all directions, and the weight of fame and fortune that she can't bear is eating away at her again.
Doubts about her ** strength also appeared at this time, and the 18-year-old girl was forced to stand on the cusp and launch an existential rebuttal inward. In interviews with Vanity Fair for 6 years, Billie confessed that she was playing Billie Eilish at one point.
And another thing happened that almost broke her. During the epidemic in 2020, Billie was caught by the paparazzi when she went out in home clothes, and people saw her real figure under the XL T-shirt for the first time, and immediately launched a cyber explosion against her.
Malicious body humiliation and abuse are overwhelming, calling her from a bad guy to a "fat guy". Her peers also think she's not cool anymore.
In fact, as early as 2019, when filming the Calvin Klein advertisement, Billie Eilish admitted that she used loose clothes to cover up because she avoided being criticized by her figure. "I have to wear a big shirt so you don't feel uncomfortable with my boobs! ”
Protecting and avoiding discussion about one's body should be a normal thing for an underage girl. And extremely misogynistic netizens are stubborn about her evasion, but she was born with such a figure that should never be a reason to be attacked.
She learned to embrace her body and gained a deeper understanding of femininity. At Met Gala, a year after the body humiliation storm, Billie fought back. Contrary to the image of a cool girl in the past, she wore a low-cut dress customized by Oscar de la Renta, and walked on the red carpet with a ** look that the outside world has never seen. Smoky eye makeup + retro curly hair, quite a tribute to Monroe.
When a woman tries to show her femininity generously, she will inevitably be treated as a sexualized staring object. This manifesto look is actually a very bold and successful fashion expression, even though the fashion industry takes Billie's fashion statement seriously. She is still accused of not being too revealing as a 19-year-old, so much so that her former fans will step on it and belittle their former idol for betraying her original circle. Even violently said: "Tomboys always end up being the biggest whore." ”
However, this time Bili was not defeated, and she will actively resist with words and actions. Fashion has become one of her **, she is no longer afraid to show her body, and she has not given up her original style. Wear what you want and do what you want to do without apologetics.
Society has always disciplined women on the one hand and criticized women on the other. Frame an illusory standard of perfection for all women and then tell them to "never be good enough." The world outside of the "Barbie" movie is constantly calling back those deafening lines and plots in the film. Now 22-year-old Billie Eilish and Barbie have similar growth lines, and they have both been nailed to the pillar of shame for inappropriate ** and too correct beauty. Until they all grow up to be what they like, they take back their narrative power, and they don't have to meet anyone's expectations. Source: Instagram, Google, VF
