      FDR in the eyes of a mistress

      One of the Big Three in World War II was addicted to marijuana, the other two were alcoholics and had many mistresses. Churchill was addicted to marijuana, two outsiders, one was the "horror king" Stalin, and the other was Frankfurt Roosevelt (FDR).

      Their common enemy is Hitler, who is extremely loyal to love and does not smoke or drink.

      This movie, watching him from the perspective of an FDR lover, restores a three-dimensional and true FDR. One of the most popular...

      This movie is not a biography but an essay

      The English title is very good, it matches the film’s screen and the soundtrack, and the actors’ performances are in place. From the perspective of the heroine, the film shows us the not-too-long time with this great historical man. By the way, the president and The historical meeting of King George is presented to everyone. The story does not have too many dramatic contradictions. On the contrary, it is like taking notes. It gives people a feeling of slowly savoring afternoon tea. After...

      I can't bear to see the world

      I don't understand why many people commented that this movie is a hilarious version of "The King's Speech". It did not detonate any of my laughs.

      I guess the director wanted to show a three-dimensional flesh-and-blood Roosevelt through realistic description. Even as expensive as a president, he is still an ordinary person, an ordinary man, a living person with lust. Let’s talk about our history education again. The Roosevelt in history textbooks will always be the image of the...

      It tells the story of a meeting between President Roosevelt and the King of Stuttering, and the scripts mixed with various wild history are incomprehensible. The director's flat and straightforward narrative makes people drowsy, and the performance is not worth mentioning in comparison with the former actor. At best, it is equivalent to revisiting the tabloid history of lace....

      I guess this movie must be very small. The literary film has a unique perspective. It is very human to observe Roosevelt and the King from the perspective of a lover. The president and the king are also human...

The film was shot in the UK, and Hyde Park and some strange trees were built.

    "Hyde Park on Hudson" brings former US President FDR to the big screen. Some words can deconstruct his life: aristocratic background, the only president in American history who has won four consecutive terms, an inspirational youth with paralyzed legs, and an anti-fascist hero. These are politicized descriptions and not comprehensive, so "Hyde Park on Hudson" Try to reshape an unfamiliar president. The film takes a slant angle, talking...

      Daisy: Back then - this is years ago - I couldn't afford secrets. I just had chores. As a child growing up, we had been rich. And then, well, we weren't. And like most people during the Depression, I now lived each day as it came no longer expecting anything. Waiting. For nothing. And then...

    • Daisy: In a time, not so very long ago, when the world still allowed itself secrets, Franklin Roosevelt was mine.
