      for free souls

      Artists are very simple, they are from the heart. Whether it is a free thought unfettered by beliefs, or a budding love in her heart, Kristina has been sticking to her heart and pursuing a free soul. Although she had doubts in the middle, fortunately, she finally ran to the world that truly belongs to her. She is unwilling to succumb to male power, but she does her best for a woman, she dares to love and hate, and is always loyal to herself all her life.

      However, where I have doubts is...

      A maverick can always leave a mark in history to prove that she existed.

      After watching "the girl king", I was completely dumbfounded.

      Queen takes the throne.

      The queen has a crush on the maid? ?

      Queen and maid in love? ? ?

      Maid marrying someone else? ? ? ?

      Queen collapses and abdicates? ? ? ? ? ?

      After checking, there is still a historical basis...?

      Mommy~ Really Queen Attack.

      I have to say that the Queen is a "wizard" with zero experience but extraordinary courage. When she first tasted the forbidden fruit, she...

      A Reactionary Movie: Rejecting Puppet Life - 2015 "Girl King" Film Review


      There are two kinds of movies in the world, movies that tell stories and movies that don't. There are two kinds of audiences in the world, and more audiences can only see the story.

      Due to the inferiority of the public's habit of obtaining second-hand knowledge from the media and authoritative interpreters, coupled with false rumors, we have misinterpreted many classic figures in human history.

      Human cultures at different historical stages are, to some extent and to...

      Pride is to admit defeat but never give in

      Maybe my review is off topic, I don't doubt it.

      Where does pride come from? Bloodline? status? Or money?
      A: The pride of the Queen comes from her mind.

      A young queen, facing those old men who are fighting on the battlefield, said that a strong brain is more important than the body, that peace is more important than plunder, and the Renaissance is more important than the expansion of territory... I like her to hold her head high and disdain those who have decayed...

      21/3/18: Mika Part 1. Compared with the Garbo version 80 years ago, there is still progress in the times, but the screenwriting skills are not good, the philosophy is not deep enough, and the character creation is even far worse than the Garbo...

      As a biography, the length is short and not deep enough. Who is that familiar beauty?...

      There is no sense of the times, if you don't know the history at that time, you can't even feel the story of which period of time you are talking about. The rebellious character of the queen is overdone, and her thirst for knowledge is too weak. Some of the pictures are very oily, but that's...

    Movie plot

    In Sweden in 1632, King Gustav II died in battle, and Christina Augusta, who was only 6 years old, took the throne and was sworn to be "king" rather than "queen" when she ascended the throne. Since birth, Christina Augusta has been trained as a "prince" by the Prime Minister of the Empire as an only child according to her father's wishes. Christina Augusta has been very talented since she was a child. She is a superb equestrian and has...
