      Without the support of historical knowledge, it is difficult to watch movies

      I accidentally saw this movie on my computer (it was probably downloaded by a friend on my computer), so I opened it and watched it.
      If you look at this movie purely from a story perspective, it will not have a very interesting story, but it should reflect a lot of history 100 years ago. Of course, I don't understand that history at all, I don't understand it at all. So let's talk about the movie:

      Bell's love affair with the gambler diplomat at first seemed very immature. Later,...

      Queen?

      The choice of the topic is a bit racist and boastful. The heroine is seen by Arabs as a woman who has influence on the British authorities. She is called lady, which is far from queen. Clearly a British gunboat intimidating the colonists but likes to whitewash the charm of the British.

      The film arrangement did not explain her influence either, and two kings were inexplicably designated at the end of the film. Although Aunt Kidman doesn't know each other anymore, she's almost...

      I can't believe how boring this movie is...probably the most hated Herso ever. I can compare it with "Between a Moment" and which one disgusts me more: the two films have a common feature, that is, they both seem to have been filmed by the employer's head. The author's nature has been lost. Compared with "Salt and Fire", that part is lower, but the authorship is not weak at all. In the expectations of Herzog's films, authorship is the most...

    Evaluation action

    The mainstream media's review of "Queen of the Desert" was somewhat tepid, considering it was Werner Herzog's recent epic close to Hollywood standards, but it lost his own style. As for Robert Pattinson's interpretation of "Lawrence", the media pointed out that it is far from Peter Otto's version, but has a strong comedy color (Time Network Review)  .
    "Queen of the Desert" has director Werner Herzog's usual quixotic elements, but it...

    Movie quotes

    • Charles Doughty-Wylie: Will you write to me?

      Gertrude Bell: Yes, I'll write to you from every post office in the desert.

    • Gertrude Bell: [writing in her diary] Already I have dropped back into the desert as if it were my own place. Silence and solitude all around me like an impenetrable veil. Sleep more profound that civilization contrives. And then, the roadless desert, again.

    • Charles Doughty-Wylie: Love is a tyrant, sparing none.
