      plot disappointment

      All three stars for the actor's costume. This costume has indeed gone down in history (it's actually kept in the museum).

      I don't like the plot very much. For the sake of drama, the most appalling version in the unofficial history is adopted across the board, and Margaret is seriously objectified.

      Margaret is definitely a feminist pioneer, smart, beautiful and independent. Although her bad political luck and her temper made her make some unreasonable judgments, how many women in...

      Forget, she told me the answer

      This is a line from the days on the cloud. But it reminds me of her. This ill-fated and helpless woman.
          In the complicated and gorgeous color group, she is the pure white hibiscus. Someone found out that she was a shooter and was born the day before me. Stop swearing by the temptress. From the Zhou Chunmei human flesh search incident, can't we still see how easily we are incited? Looking at everything with a cold eye, and looking at this delicate French rose with a cold eye, she just...

      History is like a play. play like history

      I have always liked themes such as dynasty history, so I worked hard to find books on this subject to read. Of course, Alexandre Dumas' novels cannot truly reflect history, but they also vividly describe the situation at that time. Having seen the film adaptation, not only was shocked by this epic movie. Not only did it not obliterate the essence of the original work, but it more vividly described the conspiracy, utilitarianism, and perverted incestuous love of the Valois dynasty, and of course...

      No one is so beautiful

      Before the main text starts, I will say something. Actually, I think the movie is better than the novel. Although a lot of the original content has been deleted and changed due to time constraints, it has become more beautiful, the imagination space has become larger, and the feelings are more profound.
      Don't say anything, go to the camera (「・ω・)「Hey

      Youth peerless Adjani

      The 17th Shanghai Film Festival 6.18 after the movie viewing.
      This year, with the obsession that I must watch a 4K restored movie in the giant screen hall of Shanghai Cinema, I finally got a ticket for "Queen Margot". I was shocked by Isabel Adjani, who played Queen Margot after watching the trailer. Therefore, although the live subtitles have not been synchronized very much from the first minute, Adjani's youthful youth is enough to make people ignore this imperfection. The film was...

      Few biographical films are considered to have the taste of the original, so I intend to read the original when I have free time in the future. Isabelle Adjani's beauty is astonishing, like a lovely person walking out of a painting. "Rodin's Lover" has not been downloaded for a long time, and I found this film by accident. I always feel that such a magnificent and colorful biographical film needs more time to buffer after watching...

      Everyone said they loved her, but these loves, mixed with use and humiliation, forced her to despair step by step. When she was wearing a mask in the alley looking for a man to accompany her to bed, he was the only one who could smell the fragrance of jasmine flowers on her body and the smell of loneliness. Such a beautiful woman, so...

      If there is a goddess, she must look like Adjani. I once discussed with the French whether Adjani or Sophie Marceau looks good, and found that French women like Sophie Marceau, but French men agree with me and think Adjani is better. So am I totally a man's...
