      A romance turned into a story?

      Looking at the queen in the film, I feel inexplicably familiar. After a long time, I remembered that this is the actress Alicia Vikander who has been in the limelight recently, the heroine of "The Danish Girl", "Bourne Bourne" 's mistress. Although the male doctor is not very familiar, he is very sexy and handsome. It is said that he is the sexiest man in Denmark. The high-value cast lineup and the beautiful and delicate style of painting make every frame very beautiful. I also really like the...

      The three views are not correct

      Speaking of love, love is not complete.
      The queen disliked the emperor's boredom and became insane, how could a German doctor make up for the emperor's emotional vacancy? Obviously, the queen did not fulfill her obligations.
      Of course, the emperor did not take the empress in his eyes at all, nor did he feel that the relationship between the emperor and the German doctor was based on the relationship between the emperor and the German doctor. Emotionally, he is absent and insecure....

      At least Strindzer really loves the queen.

      Great movie, in fact, the king didn't love the queen. He knew that the queen was pregnant and wanted to be by her side. He was rejected to see the queen to give birth. Finally, he roared at Strinzer after knowing their affair. In fact, the queen has been Push the king away. If the queen doesn't push the king away, I don't know how it will end. And I'm thinking, she and Strinzer are inevitable, because of love or because of the cold treatment at the king's place. I didn't end up either....

      Classic and deep meaning are more than just a royal affair


             Studying politics, I can't help but connect movies and politics. It may be deeply appreciated that Mr. Cheng Nong used movies to explain to us some of the paradoxical points of today's liberal schools. In short, it seems to be my "professional disease" that I like to connect movies and politics.

      The script is very good, the highlight of the movie is only the classical and beautiful lace lotus leaf skirt

      The title of the film is not quite suitable, it is obviously the Enlightenment movement, which makes it look like a picture of a rich man in an erotic palace. First of all, congratulations to the heroine for winning the best supporting actress at the 88th Academy Awards - "The Danish Girl", an elegant and classical small and fresh style. The male protagonist's appearance and wisdom are inversely proportional, and young women who have passed their teenage years and yearn for love are most likely...

      What a boring movie, who translated the Chinese name, just for fear that the world will not be chaotic. Merry ass. Is this story true? It looks like it is true, but the movie has made me so bored that I don't even want to investigate the authenticity of history. Is this change really courting death, or is there no such thing as a joke in real...

    Movie plot

    The film is adapted from a true story. In Denmark in the 18th century, physician Johann Friedrich Struensee ( Mads Mikkelsen ) was very concerned about the future of the country and the suffering of the people, and he had been secretly supporting the New Deal and the revolution. By chance, he was photographed by the King of Denmark, Christian ( Mikkel Følsgaard ) , and called to accompany him on a tour of Europe. As the king’s personal...

    Evaluation action

    With serious themes, exquisite pictures, vivid characters, Zhang Youzhi's rhythm, and a complete and coherent storyline, "A Royal Affair" can be used as a historical propaganda film to promote the Danish Enlightenment. In order to produce a serious and true work of historical reality, the show lacks heroic spirit and does not match the overall temperament of the Berlin Film Festival. (Netease Entertainment Review) 
    The film is not as...

      Caroline Mathilde: [writing a letter] I'm trying to remember him. Johann. I have to tell you about him. About us. Why we did the things we did.

      Caroline Mathilde: My beloved children, you do not know me, but I am your mother. Perhaps you have never forgiven me. Perhaps you hate me. I hope not. I now know that I will never see you again, so I am writing to tell you the truth, before it's too late.

    • Johann Friedrich Struensee: [about vaccine] If it goes well, and I'm confident that it will, he will be immune.

      Ove Høegh-Guldberg: The Crown Prince is the heir to the Danish throne! He's protected by God!
