- 1:04of 7080 .it that deepens the topics discussed
- 1:08on the portal. I'm with the journalist Enzo Mauri,
- 1:11who introduces today's topic. Good morning, today
- 1:14I'm talking to you about a famous animated cartoon.
- 1:17In 1982, the Japanese animated cartoon Lady Oscar
- 1:22arrives in Italy, whose original title is The
- 1:23Roses of Versailles. The stairs and paths of
- 1:32Andrae with slowness, any evening, the tray that
- 1:36shines, the smile of her, the kindness of him,
- 1:39the goodnight whispered with a tired voice, almost
- 1:43resigned. Released in Japan in 1979, it is treated
- 1:47by the anonymous manga of Ryo Koikeda, published
- 1:49a few years earlier. The author was inspired
- 1:52by the biography of Maria Antonietta, of the
- 1:54Austrian writer Stefan Zweig. The historical
- 1:57background of the story does not prevent the
- 1:59author from touching delicate topics such as
- 2:01sexuality and gender identity. Set in the court
- 2:04of France, on the eve of the Revolution, the
- 2:06animated cartoon narrates the stories of Maria
- 2:09Antonietta and Oscar François de Yariayet, a
- 2:12noble girl and her co -wife, commander of the
- 2:14Royal Guard. The phrase of André, who knows the
- 2:17truth, a woman arrests a woman, a rose will never
- 2:21be a lila. The comedy must end. Raised from a
- 2:24child as a man, Oscar establishes a great friendship
- 2:26with the princess. Both fall in love with the
- 2:30Swedish count Hans Axel von Wersen and the sentimental
- 2:33stories, among which those of other claimants,
- 2:36such as the scout André, intertwine with the
- 2:38historical facts of the French Revolution. The
- 2:41roses refer to five female characters, Maria
- 2:44Antonietta, to whom the red rose is associated,
- 2:47Madame de Polignac, Rosa Gialla, Rosalie, Bociolo
- 2:50di Rosa, Jeanne, L 'amore tra Oscar e Andrè rinasce
- 2:55da queste ceneri, come l 'araba fenice, da questo
- 2:58strappo reale e pure emotivo, metaforico, che
- 3:02fa cadere i veli e fa assumere a quel sentimento
- 3:05una forza nuova e dirompente. Look for the page
- 3:08and the group of 7080 .it on Facebook and relive
- 3:11with us your most beautiful years. The detail
- 3:14is revealed in the final scenes of the story.
- 3:16The drama of Oscar begins its birth. In the house
- 3:19of Count of the Aries, commander of the Royal
- 3:22Guard, came the light and the sixth daughter
- 3:24female. The general who was waiting for a male
- 3:26to transmit the title and role of commander,
- 3:29decides to call the daughter Oscar and to raise
- 3:31her as if she were a boy, starting with military
- 3:34weapons. Demonstrating a great ability, the young
- 3:36woman becomes... 14 years personal guard of the
- 3:39princess maria antonietta young wife of the future
- 3:41king luigi xvi we are in the years immediately
- 3:44preceding the capture of the bastille on July
- 3:4714, 1789 falls the symbol of the old regime and
- 3:51also the japanese anime recalls the historical
- 3:53episode the soldier girl during the battle turns
- 3:56on the side of the people and dies after being
- 3:59wounded in the chest just the day after her beloved
- 4:02andrea hit by a waving stick Thank you. It seems
- 4:26that initially Oscar was supposed to be a man
- 4:28impersonating Pierre -Augustin Houlin, a soldier
- 4:31who had fought alongside the revolutionaries
- 4:33despite being a faithful servant of Maria Antonietta.
- 4:36In the end, the actress decides, for reasons
- 4:38especially of style, to give life to a female
- 4:40protagonist, supported also by the discovery
- 4:43that many women of the time chose to dress as
- 4:45a man. This choice is not only at the origin
- 4:48of Lady Oscar's success, in whose ambiguity is
- 4:51often the engine of the narrated stories, but
- 4:53it even makes the character an anti -literal
- 4:58transgender icon. Fascinated by men as by women,
- 5:00she falls in love with people of both sexes and
- 5:02the fluidity of her gender remains one of the
- 5:04main interests of the whole story. The animated
- 5:34cartoon is known to be a great success throughout
- 5:36Europe, but it is precisely in Italy that it
- 5:38obtains the largest number of replicas. On the
- 5:40contrary, the release in Japan had had so little
- 5:43success that it was interrupted at the end of
- 5:45the 23rd episode out of the 40 planned. The Italian
- 5:48version has undergone many censors, both in terms
- 5:50of dubbing and in terms of real cuts in the sequences.
- 5:53Many were nude scenes, some of which remained
- 5:56in the editing, fleeing television censorship.
- 5:59One of the most famous censors of the Italian
- 6:01edition concerns the meeting between the young
- 6:04Rosalie La Molière. In the original version,
- 6:06Rosalie, desperate, stops Oscar's carriage and,
- 6:09believing her to be a man, offers herself for
- 6:11money. All the dialogue in the Italian version
- 6:13has been modified from the beginning to then
- 6:15be entirely cut. Lady Oscar s 'è proprio nascosta
- 6:30nella grande stanza del re. Un scatto felino
- 6:34ed abile mossa colpirà tutte e tre. In the Italian
- 6:39transposition, in reality, the identity of Oscar
- 6:41is not a secret at all. Many call her Madam Midgella,
- 6:44where the Japanese version includes colonel,
- 6:47gentleman or simply Oscar. This means that the
- 6:49charm exercised by the character on some women
- 6:52is completely canceled. Very often the dialogues
- 6:54are rewritten, some only flattened, others completely
- 6:58reinvented. During the process in Xi 'an, for
- 7:01example, this accuses Maria Antonietta of having
- 7:03forced her to do terrible things, without specifying
- 7:06what it is. The original dialogue, on the other
- 7:08hand, claims to have been the lover and states
- 7:10that the queen would enter into lesbian relationships
- 7:13with many court women, among whom the contest
- 7:15of Polignac, the same Oscar who would dress as
- 7:18a man precisely to condescend his queen. The
- 7:21television headlines of Lady Oscar have certainly
- 7:23contributed to the success of the cartoon. The
- 7:25first composed and sung by the group of Riccardo
- 7:27Zara and Cavalieri del Re is accompanied by rather
- 7:30raw images. Oscar appears naked and covered in
- 7:33giant thorns to symbolize his conflict of identity.

- 7:40delude mai This piece was so well received that
- 8:05it reached the seventh place of the hit parade.

- 8:11initially interpreted by Enzo Draghi, signed
- 8:13Gli Amici di Oscar. Already from the subsequent
- 8:161991 replica Draghi is replaced by Cristina d
- 8:20'Avena who initially refused to sing it. Both
- 8:23acronyms have been very loved so much that in
- 8:25the subsequent 2008 and 2010 replicas, the one
- 8:29from the 80s is kept as a headline, the other
