      Confused face hidden under Chinese clothes

      This romantic film grafted on Chinese clothes is really a bit complicated and obsessed with the plot. Now that it's so foggy, I'll use modern times and the social background at that time to boldly guess some bridges.

      ? Georgiana was really angry when Duke William climbed into the bed of her only good friend Beth for the first time. When she angrily told the Duke that she wanted Beth to leave, the Duke refused. I think the Duke probably thought that...

      Unforgettable love among adults

      This romantic film grafted on Chinese clothes is really a bit complicated and obsessed with the plot. Now that it's so foggy, I'll use modern times and the social background at that time to boldly guess some bridges.

      This is really a complicated and confusing plot. I make a bold guess. When Georgiana was really angry for the first time and angrily told the Duke that she wanted Beth to leave, the Duke refused, I think he might have thought that Beth...

      "Duchess"

      Keira Knightley brought every stage of the Duchess to life. The hope for marriage when she was a girl, the helplessness of being betrayed soon after the newly married, the anger when she was betrayed by her best friend, her eyes and even her back figure are all perfecting the image of her character.

      The most anticipated is the love between her and Gray, from the publicity of the girlhood, to the catharsis after the emotional depression to the...

      "The Duchess" Aftermath

      At the beginning, I couldn't remember what my mother said. I only remember that the mother boasted that her daughter, that is, the heroine, was smart and could speak multiple languages, but these were just to add to the duke's face. The duke just wanted to marry a woman who could give birth to a son.

      At first, the heroine complained to her mother that the duke didn't talk to her, but the mother asked her to fulfill her responsibilities. The heroine...

      If this is a Rococo tragedy, it is better to say that this is the helplessness and sorrow under the rule of the Virgin Queen. Had Elizabeth not been victorious, Mary would have been the orthodox queen of Scotland, England and France, and while England was in vain during Elizabeth's time, she lacked the chivalry of the 16th century. That's why, under her hesitant rule, the love of the majority of the country has become a stepping stone to money and...

      The ending was especially frustrating for me. As if it was a happy ending, the Duchess was too miserable. . Is it completely like a work of a patriarchal society!...

    Evaluation action

    Although the costumes and colors of the film are gorgeous, they are almost all warm and dark colors. The extensive use of Champagne and flesh-colored clothes makes the picture look dim and boring, lacking in brightness, and the lighting of the entire movie is always not bright, even the grass color in the outdoor scene. Not a vibrant green, but rather dim. The use of this color may also be intentional, but as a whole, it makes people...
