      King George's Madness, King George's Sorrow

      "Mad King George" tells the story of the "Regency Crisis" in England in 1788. The cause of the "Regency Crisis" was that King George III went mad, and someone in Parliament called for the establishment of the Prince of Wales as regent.

      When the man is old

      Although it has been very worrying, but in the end I still feel that I do not understand. The film looks sane and crazy, cold and tender, playful and realistic. What does it want to say? Did it just want to tell the story of an old king who went mad and recovered, or something more? Looks like I'll...

      A comical passage in history was chosen to make the theme of the script positive. In the final analysis, the theme is the eternal war between man and destiny, and the tragic comedy is mixed in the humorous mood to produce a huge tension. However, you must know that a few years later, George III fell ill again, and Prince of Wales became the regent in 1810... The movie is just a piece of history that makes people look happy...

      The movie itself wasn't really that interesting, but Nigel Hawthorne's performance was a real hit. The middle section shows madness, and the desolation, pain, fear, shame, and pity under the comical appearance make people extremely sympathetic and unbearable, and a kind of heart-wrenching discomfort that cannot be washed away at the end of the comedy. Reading a passage of King Lear also reflects the skill of expressing profound feelings in a plain tone. Really master level.

    The Madness of King George quotes

    • Baker: I sent over some senna. Was that given to him?

      Greville: Yes. The pain got worse.

      Baker: Whereabouts was the pain?

      Greville: Would it not be better to ask His Majesty that?

      Baker: How long have you been in waiting? I cannot address His Majesty until he addresses me! I cannot inquire after His Majesty's symptoms until he chooses to inform me of them.

      Greville: Sir George, whatever his situation, His Majesty is just a man.

      Baker: You're the King's equerry with radical notions like that? Good God! With any patient, I undertake a physical examination only as a last resort. It's an intolerable intrusion of a gentleman's privacy. With His Majesty, it's unthinkable!

    • George III: Hold it, man! Don't fondle it.
