Brigitte Bardot, one of the greatest names in 20th-century French cinema, passed away at the age of 91 on one of the last days of 2025. It's a fact that the legacy she left behind goes far beyond a beautiful image, a muse of European cinema who enchanted audiences and generations. While Brigitte left the spotlight to dedicate herself to animal rights, she also didn't shy away from publishing "tough" opinions on various topics that are considered highly controversial today, especially by those "on the left." A true activist who got her hands dirty during her years of dedication to a noble cause, in contrast to many of her "ideological enemies"—who talk a lot and do little or nothing of what they preach—she had the "audacity" to disagree with that same group of totalitarian "democrats," whether on homosexuality or immigration. For me, even if I don't agree with everything she's said that's "controversial" in interviews, I can't help but admire her courage in going against political correctness and also for abandoning her acting career to help rescue and care for vulnerable animals. And I think my opinion about her seeks to reflect more accurately who she was, what she said/thought and did, rather than reducing her to the identity of "muse" or even "fascist," as I read in a comment from an opponent whose debate on Instagram arose from the news of her death. So, at least for me, Brigitte Bardot leaves us with some valuable lessons, such as judging a person especially by their actions and not only or solely by their opinions, and also learning to tolerate the complexity of the "human person," of course, when it doesn't exceed all acceptable limits, instead of always falling into a Manichean dichotomy of judgment...
