1 Minute Character summary
I absolutely adore J-law, and she cannot prove me wrong it seems.
She portrays Raven, a lonely mutant who was "adopted" into professor Xavier's life when he was a little boy. She's very insecure about her real "Mystique" blue-body, yellow-eyes and red-hair looks, so she chooses to maintain the form of J-Law most of the time.
The plot revolves around her because her bodymorphing dna will be the breakthrough for an invention that will wipe out all the mutants in the future. She dons some sassy 70's outfits (Jennifer's second disco-era movie) and I've given one of them a modern update.
one of my New year's resolutions is to update 'The chique flick' more regularly. Since I'm also juggling studying, acting, working and having a social life I decided that the only way I'll be able to do this is by cutting back on the text part of each post.
You still get to see the outfit recreations but without a summary of the movie and character. I hate to do this but that's the only way I can update you guys more...
I wish you all a very happy and fashionable 2015 and may you have an awesome time watching all the new theatrical releases! ✨
Films capture the essence of a culture. They are little time capsules that can let us relive certain ancient periods or they can make us relate to modern day adventures. Regardless of all the great and epic stories that have been told through the magic of the silver screen, they're also great fashion inspiration. Every week I'll post a breakdown of a character's style and how you can achieve it yourself.
David O. Russel is one of my favorite directors because his movies don't revolve around a storyline but around character development. Apparently I'm not the only person who likes his way of filmmaking, seeing as three consecutive movies of his earned oscar nods in the acting and directing department. His last two movies even got oscar nominations for all of the four acting categories. I admire his ability to bring relatable nut jobs to the silver screen without losing their credibility.
He's also known to work with the same people, which has obviously been the right choice.
The story is set in the seventies and loosely based on real life events.
Christian Bale's con man Iriving Rosenfeld and his partner in crime Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) are doing just fine scamming rich people. Until they are forced to work with Richie Dimaso (played by Bradley Cooper's perm), a delusional FBI agent who wants them to target bigger fishes... not realizing that some of them might be sharks.
Rosalyn Rosenfeld
Ah darling J-Law, she can morph into any character and infuse it with her trademark freshness without people thinking 'oh look it's Jennifer in a costume'.
This particular character is a joy to watch because she balances between being a manipulative egomaniac and an endearing lost girl.
Her style can be described as if a Real Housewife of (really any of the show's places) would be transported back to the seventies and had to live off of a smaller budget.
The duality of her persona is greatly captured in one of her own quotes 'like flowers but with garbage' about the smell of her favorite nail polish. We get reeled in by a pretty exterior but it's the complexity and broken pieces of someone's soul that makes us come back for more. That is exactly the reason why bad boys and hot mess girls will always have our society a bit under their spell.
Without further ado, the look I've recreated:
And to praise Lawrence's awesomeness, a deleted scene of her dancing to Santana while cleaning the house (it is marvelously bad and beautiful at the same time... like flowers, but with garbage).
