Full video here. This is Hedi the young North African man who was beat up by a group of cops that I mentioned in this post. My comment is under the cut.
Translation:
I have to walk with a helmet to protect myself in case I fall. It will protect the part of my head where there’s no bones anymore.
I tell myself that it’s fine. I’m surround by my family, my friends… but it’s always the same thing. When they are not with me anymore, when I’m alone in my bedroom… when you stay bedridden all day long… you have a million of questions in your head. “Why me?” And… it hurts a lot. But I have a part of me that still doesn’t believe in what happened. When I hear… when I see my face on the TV, in the medias… when I hear that they are talking about me… unfortunately I know my life will never be the same again.
My past life… it was good. I can only tell you this, it was good compared to this new one.
Fuck the police. Fuck all of them. He was just getting back home. He fucking just said good evening to the cops and they went after him and started beating him up leaving him behind thinking he was dead. Nobody deserves that… his life is ruined because of this fucked up racist system. If you support the police in any way of form you are an accomplice and a big fuck you to you too (for the white French leftist when I say police I include the gendarmerie and ALL the special squads and ALL the military in general)
Welcome to Mount Phoenix, the metropolis city of the Gods.
The city was created long ago for the children of the divine, who belong neither in the worlds of man or god. A self-sustaining island off the coast of South Korea, near Incheon. The city offers education, employment, shelter and opportunity for demigods who may otherwise find integrating into society difficult for one reason or another. But when ancient gods and their children mix, some unique challenges are bound to pop up.

Mediapart publie les enregistrements de vidéosurveillance montrant les violences commises par quatre policiers sur Hedi, dans la nuit du 1er au 2 juillet à Marseille. Des faits pour lesquels les fonctionnaires, dont certains les nient, ont été mis en examen.
El realizador tunecino Mohamed Ben Attia establecía un paralelismo entre la situación de su país y la de su protagonista en esta película de 2016. Y a ambas historias les falta algo de coraje para llegar más allá.
Con poco disimulo, Attia asemejaba la historia de su protagonista con la situación política de su país en 2016. Sin embargo, el relato que construye en Hedi resulta elegante. La…

Hedy Lamarr (Samson and Delilah, Ziegfeld Girl)—Look. I'm sure someone has already submitted Hedy Lamarr because she was spectacularly beautiful, and a very strong lady too: she fled both an abusive marriage AND nazi persecution at a very young age and rebuilt a life for herself pursuing her love for acting all on her own!! Her career as an actress was stellar; while she began acting outside of Hollywood (her very first movie, Ecstasy, won a prize at the Venice Film Festival), she conquered American hearts very quickly with her first movie in the US, Algiers, and then just kept getting better and better. If all this isn't enough, she was also an inventor: her invention of the frequency-hopping spread spectrum radio transmission technique forms the base of bluetooth and has a lot of applications in all kinds of communication technologies. I think that deserves a prize, don't you?

This is round 6 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Hedy Lamarr:
The only person you can find both on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in the Inventor's Hall of Fame--her radio-frequency-hopping technology forms the basis for cordless phones, wi-fi, and a dozen other aspects of modern life. She was also passionate in her efforts to aid the Allies in WWII (unsurprising for a Jewish-Austrian Emigree to America), and her name served as the backbone for one of the best running jokes in what is possibly Mel Brooks' best movie. Look, Louis B. Mayer apparently believed he could plausibly promote her as "The world's most beautiful woman". Is an entire website full of people going to be less audacious than one Louis B. Mayer? I didn't think so!
Described as "Hedy has the most incredible personal sophistication. She knows the peculiarly European art of being womanly; she knows what men want in a beautiful woman, what attracts them, and she forces herself to be these things. She has magnetism with warmth, something that neither Dietrich nor Garbo has managed to achieve" by Howard Sharpe, she managed to escape her controlling husband (and Nazi Germany) by a) Disguising as her maid and fleeing to Paris or b) Convincing the husband to let her wear all of her jewelry to a dinner, only to disappear afterwards. Also she was particularly clever and helped develop Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (I can't really explain it but anyway...)
Her depiction of Delilah and Samson and Delilah just lives rent free in my head. The woman was gorgeous.
One of the most beautiful women ever in film, spoken by many critics and fans. Beautiful shapely figure, deeper seductive voice, and often played femme fatale roles. She was also brilliant and an inventor. Mainly self-taught, she invested her spare time, including on set between takes, in designing and drafting inventions, which included an improved traffic stoplight and a tablet that would dissolve in water to create a flavored carbonated drink, and much more.
Gorgeous and brilliant pioneer of modern technology and the middle part.
Marilyn Monroe:
She's amazing!!! A classic bombshell, as well as a strong women who overcame so many obstacles. She also advocated for others, like Ella Fitzgerald.
That fucking saxophone that cuts in whenever she appears on screen in Some Like it Hot
I mean, it's Marilyn Monroe. She's adorable. She's gorgeous. She funny. She's the total package
She's the original American sex symbol, an iconic beautiful woman with eyes you could get lost in, legs for days, gorgeous hair, and a cute tummy. Her voice! Just listen to her voice!!!!!
youtube
She is considered one of THE sex symbols of the 1960s and one of the greatest actresses of all time! She HAS to be on this list!
no vintage movie woman is more iconically hot
People are most familiar with pictures of her in the white dress or the Happy Birthday Mr President one, but imo she is at her most beautiful and looks most comfortable when she is photographed by women like Eve Arnold
It’s Marilyn Monroe. If Aphrodite was an actual person, she’d be Marilyn. Do I really need to say more?
What can I say that hasn't been said? Marilyn's legacy is so much bigger than she was in life. She's a defining symbol of 50s and 60s Hollywood sex and it's obvious why. She was absolutely stunning and the camera loved her.
