Doesn't she hates mixed kids?

I had a feeling I was talking to a pseudo-intellectual who knows nothing of what they're talking about.
Talk about telepathy.
If you truly have read about her, you'd know that it's out of character for her to try to build a film legacy, ie awards and whatnot. Although BB was an accomplished actress and put out a few good performances,
Tell me one single performance of hers that counts as a genuinely good actor's work.
In Viva Maria! Moureau swallowed every moment they appeared together on screen, in spite of being the lesser attractive woman. Now THAT is a sign of actoral proficiency.
she wasn't very passionate about the field and announced her retirement several times.
Which she didn't do several times, in spite of being so independently wealthy as you say.
Acting was something that she drifted into and perhaps she stayed as long as she did because she didn't know how to quit. Right after making her first movie she complained that she didn't like the film industry. During her film career, she made denigrating comments about it and continues to do so to this day. She loathed being famous, the unwanted attention she was getting even led her to a suicide attempt. She finally worked the nerve to leave the industry in 1973 and never looked back. With that being said, why on earth would she resort to desperate tactics to maintain a career that was bringing her hell and one that she did not care for? Movies just gave her something to do before she found her real passion, which is animal rights activism.
If you happen to give a beep about her motivations, why don't you seem to care about what she said in her book "A cry in the silence" against "gene-mixing" for instance.
After all it's all part of the same stupidity. She happens to love animals same way she could have happened to love cars instead with just a minor twitch of her brain cells.
Here's a quote from her during the time when she was one of film's hottest properties:
()
SO WHAT????? Good for her, something in her told her it wasn't adequate for her to be an actress, if only for the wrong reasons. She should have listened to her instincts and become a model instead, until 35, and then live the rest of her life out of doing nothing.
Does this sound like someone who is desperate to be the biggest star of the movie industry? I know you're going to find a creative way to spin this ("She said that for attention!"), and I'm not interested your abilities to twist things around.
She said that for attention. I'm not interested in your lack of perspective.
And about her marriage to Vadim, they hooked up before either of them became famous and both became famous after And God Created Woman (she starred, he directed). She was as implemental in his success as he was in hers, he was never superior to her careerwise.
Same thing could be said about Jane Fonda, and yet he did help them somehow.
Before you respond to this, I highly recommend reading Roger Vadim's autobiography, and Bardot bios written by Jeffrey Robinson, Barnett Singer, and Tony Crawley. This way you can get an actual 5b4image as to what BB was like rather than relying on blonde sex symbol stereotypes.
I know all I have to know about this airhead and so do you.
I do not have the time nor desire to educate you on BB or type an extensive biography about her, so I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Buy "A cry in the silence", which was written during old age (so you can't blame her youthful lack of education on anything) and tell me if what she says there can be attributed to a person of at least average intelligence.
Too bad you don't have the time to educate me, that's awful. -

Tell me one single performance of hers that counts as a genuinely good actor's work.
'La Verite' - B.B.'s best role. You must admit She is EXCELLENT in it!
Then 'En cas de malheur' - another dramatic role.
Want some comeddies?
'L'ours et la poupee'. 'Boulevard du Rhum'. - to name a few.
In Viva Maria! Moureau swallowed every moment they appeared together on screen, in spite of being the lesser attractive woman. Now THAT is a sign of actoral proficiency.
Oh yeas, of course, and watching it today you can't stnat that artificial, theatrical way of Jeanne's acting - she looks like she thinks she's on stage, and you can say that Brigitte was very 'futuristic' and She was ahead of Hers times with that 'normal' and natural of Her acting.
She said that for attention. I'm not interested in your lack of perspective.
Only stupid people don't want to understand some things.
Same thing could be said about Jane Fonda, and yet he did help them somehow.
And they helped him. Nobody would hear about Roger Vadim, if there wasn't be Et Dieu crea la femme, and there wouldn't be 'Et Dieu crea la femme' if there wouldn't be Brigitte Bardot. Gosh Can't you get it?
I know all I have to know about this airhead and so do you.
If you don't have anything true or clever or smart to say, don't say nothing.
You think you know all, but you don't - I call it's STUPIDITY.
Buy "A cry in the silence", which was written during old age (so you can't blame her youthful lack of education on anything) and tell me if what she says there can be attributed to a person of at least average intelligence.
Too bad you don't have the time to educate me, that's awful.
Un cri dans silence is an excellent book, which received a very good reviews and won an independent intellectuals award. Brigitte Bardot at least got pride and bravery to say loud this what's in mind of milions of people, but who are just full of complex and scared to admit it.
Viva Bardot! -

I think it's about time that you acknowledge an absolute truth. Were there a consensus on BB's acting abilities, or at least on the reasonable possibility thereof, this message board would be frothing with messages, rather than barely kept alive by the militant adamancy (to put it mildly) of you and your paltry little group which numbers about 2 or 3.
This is a board in all permanence naturally doomed to be frequented in sparse, scattered forays by people over 50, fashion victims, closeted homosexuals, people with a strong unrequited Oedipus complex or FN supporters, or any combination thereof. You're totally entitled to your opinion about BB and it certainly isn't my task or disposition to guide you otherwise, but I think it's about time you realize that your endeavor is against nature and an exercise in futility.
And you shouldn't tread on me. Every time the door opens and there is a breath of fresh air in this board (be it me or any other imdb user) this means a tiny bit of oxygen for your task, since this is the only way you'll garner some activity here. In a way, your life is more intense now, arguing with me, than it is 90% of the year with your pathetic attempts at luring imdb users5b4 into this thread in order to swell it up.
Being able to have this moment of reflection, which you clearly lack at the moment, will also make you a bit happier. You don't seem to be a very stable person.
Regarding your answer, no I don't think those films show good acting work from BB, I think she just does what she has to do: portray herself. John Wayne did the exact thing and yes, he was unique in portraying himself but that shows neither versatility nor deep character development and good acting work requires both.
Un cri dans silence is an excellent book, which received a very good reviews and won an independent intellectuals award. Brigitte Bardot at least got pride and bravery to say loud this what's in mind of milions of people, but who are just full of complex and scared to admit it.
This is the declaration of principles that was necessary to clarify your point and show your true colors. You agree with BB's opinions on immigration and race mixing, period. The rest is just blabbering, pitiful mythomania and frustration. I bet you lost quite a number of trains in your life, little fella.
And yes, France is full of covert racists (you just proved it unwittingly), but this discussion doesn't belong here and I certainly won't have it with you.
My advice is you look for professional help. Your posts reek idiocy, insanity and lots o2000f unhappiness. At first I thought you were trying to
pater le bourgeois
, now I realize you're serious. And the overall impression couldn't be sadder. I bet you're more compliant and kinder to BB (or your fictionalized view of her) here, that in real life with your parents, friends or family if you have any. I'm absolutely sure that your fanaticism is concomitant to your inability to make anyone happy, not even yourself. In a way yours is an interesting study on how to submit oneself to a process of abstraction: the loss of one's own ego for the sake of a higher truth. Interesting premise altogether, but for the wrong purpose and for a truth which is anything but high; you've sacrificed your dignity, and lots of free time as well, in the altar of insignificance.
The rest of your life is only insignificance, chaos and the remnants of unfulfilled illusions, but you know that better than I do. -

I wonder is it your way of life to be rude and bitter to anyone or is it just
the desperation for any kind of attentionm from others?
It looks like one is very close to the other and you are a very good example that world is full of embittered, sad, lonely and desperate attention seekers.
I'm pretty sure you're full of unfulfilled ambitions and can't stand that you lost your youth, but there is always a chance for you to change your so-called life. You can still go out, you can meet people and make them love you.
All you need to do is to go out, wear a big smile and forget that there are more important things than you and your ignorants comments about everything and everyone.
Just keep trying! Keep trying! Nothing's lost yet.
I'll pray for you. Really. Because you specify yourself with your comments and it's not funny at all.
Viva Bardot! -

Lol I just stumbled upon this thread and had a read, Guaitaquinscollons I feel you
but you're surrounded by devoted fans I think.
I don't know much about her but I can say I was underwhelmed by the few movies of hers I've seen and I can't st5b4and her singing voice lol.
I also have seen things written about her that have shown her to be very unkind, racist and rude.
I'm not sorry, this is what you deserve.

Devoted fan quality is one thing, and utter stupidity is another, and the line is very thin.
Be that as it may, the main exponent of the Bardotmob himself admitted that he's just a petty little covert racist (just like so many other people in his country) and that's all I needed. Another sad tale of wasted youth. -

If she has a problem with Muslims in France etc and their culture.. seen by some as a bit misogynist. That does not make her a racist. Race is about physical phenotype not culture or values. People always get this confused. North Arabs have been a source of conflict in France since tthe 1950's more so becasue of the clash of cultures and values than race.
Ans Brigitte is not a true nordic blonde but an obvious bleached blonde. Also it is well known that she once had a fling with Jimi Hendrix!
