      Queen Garbo Judy Foster

      Originally, the queen’s exaggerated smile when I first saw Antonio made me very uncomfortable. She felt too procrastinated when she stroked everything in that hotel room, but that morning, Christina used her bedtime to read, and she was very tired. Piled on the balcony, hurriedly grabbed a hand and rubbed it on my face, the queen’s unrestrained determination immediately reflected in my heart, and the queen’s figure in the dark candlelight that night when Antonio was sent away told me how lonely...

      The famous "Zero Show"

      This is a very magnificent movie, and Garbo can interpret such a majestic character so easily, which surprises me very much.

      The film fabricated a section of the romance of Sweden's Queen Christina in the middle of the 17th century; although there are many plots and scenes involving the palace in the film, Garbo's humorous and free performance makes the whole film look not dull.

      The former King of Sweden died in battle, and the 6-year-old queen Christina succeeded to the...

      When you see love clearly, you see life clearly.

      Greta Garbo's performance is so generous, all gestures are elegant, but so casual. The actor I know who can have hermaphrodite temperament is Leslie Cheung, and now I know there is an actress Garbo. Some people say that this temperament is close to the existence of gods, because gods may be hermaphrodite. The last close-up is Garbo's famous "Zero Performance". The actor does not put on a special posture, and has very few expressions on his face. In fact, although the...

      Queen of sweden

      "Queen of Sweden" is Greta. Garbo starred in the most moving work. She played the seventeenth-century Swedish queen Christine. In order to escape political marriage, she found her sweetheart-the new Spanish ambassador Antonio, while riding a horse in the countryside. In order to learn more about him, Christine disguised himself as a man and went to the hotel where Antonio stayed. After the two became friends, the queen revealed her true identity, and the two spent two days of lingering time...

      In the first Garbo, the actor is indeed very charming; I personally feel that the characters are a bit simple when there are few main characters. The smooth plot in the early stage and the male protagonist with no obvious characters and characteristics, considering the profound theme, this match is not...

      Because of this movie, I also went to look up Christina's life. It turned out that the facts are quite different from the movie. Christina left the Vatican in Rome, not because of love, but because her Protestantism was incompatible with Sweden. In addition, during her ten years in power, nearly 80% of Sweden's land was divided up by nobles because of a large number of canonized nobles. I believe that Christina's own ambition to govern the country is not greater than her interest in art,...

      It is a process of lack of trust, and then regaining trust and love. It is not necessarily rebellious. It can only be said that the true temperament is not enough. Garbo temperament is very...

    • Christina: Great love...

      Antonio: Don't you believe in it's possibility?

      Christina: In it's possibility - yes. But not in its existence. A great love, perfect love, is an illusion. It is the golden fable of which we all dream. But in ordinary life it doesn't happen. In ordinary life one must be content with less.

    • Antonio: Of course. It has to be. I felt it. I felt it! The presence. Oh, life is so gloriously improbable.

    • Antonio's Companion in Coach: It is still snowing my lord.

      Antonio: Good!
