      Just understand from friendship

      On the whole, it is an interesting movie. The first half of the movie is relatively smooth, the style is humorous and witty, and the funny images of the nobles are vividly portrayed. The second half was a little sluggish, but since the bow tension was already fully stretched, it didn't feel dull. The director tries his best to show that the relationship between the queen and the waiter is sincere. In the boring court life, a person suddenly appears, loyal, kind and reliable, telling you that...

      The Duchess's acting skills can't save the empty script

      In fact, I was quite looking forward to the film of the Countess at the beginning. As one of the highest-ranking actresses in the UK, she may be the only one with the highest status. The achievements of the Countess in her acting career are self-evident. Not to mention that she is currently the actor who has won the most Oliver Awards in the UK. The only person who can break her own record...

      We are all destined to grow old, we are destined to be desolate

      "I'm 81 years old. I have 9 children, 42 grandchildren, nearly a billion subjects. I have rheumatism, a prolapsed uterus, I am overly bloated, and deaf in one ear. I have met 11 prime ministers and signed 2,347 articles. Act, in power for 62 years and 234 days. I am the longest reigning monarch, responsible for 5 royal families and more than 3000 employees. I am bad-tempered, boring, gluttonous and fat, irritable and selfish and short-sighted. So. I'm disgustingly dictatorial, nothing, but...

      [Film Review] Victoria & Abdul (2017) 6.3/10

      Taking a revisionist tone of ridiculing British monarchy's inner circle, riddled with ingrained racism, snobbish abomination and unrelieved hostility towards Abdul Karim (Fazal), the Indian munshi (native language teacher) of Queen Victoria (Dench) and her confident,yet also repeatedly showing Abdul's blind subservience (kissing the Queen's foot) to appease...

      Allah is the best director!

      Filming such a film in this international situation is a fitting occasion.

      You colonize my country and I "fuck" your queen. (The fuck here is the kind of fuck Liang Feifei did to Liu Xing)

      I went with the mentality of watching a bad movie, after all, the name is too bad. There are also all kinds of absurdity and comics during the viewing process. But it gave one of the biggest surprises of the month.

      With the power of the entire royal family, it is impossible to shake an...

    Evaluation action

    The film does not magnify the ambiguous relationship between the queen and the servant, but characterizes it as a true and rare year-end friendship, creating a story of universal value that is not limited by cultural and regional differences   . (Time Net Review)
    The film, an apparently anti-racist film, publicly denounced palace officials who rejected Abdul because of his brown skin and Muslim beliefs. The film also tries to prove...

    Movie quotes

    • Queen Victoria: I understand there is some concern over my desires on preferment. I understand feelings have run high. And I understand you have decided to resign rather than withstand my decision. If any one of you wishes to tender their resignation, it will be accepted, without any unfortunate consequences. But at least have the decency to do it to my face! Anyone wishing to resign, please step forward.

      [silence, as Queen Victoria sees that no one in the household is willing to resign]

      Queen Victoria: Hmm. I would like to inform you that I have decided against awarding any knighthoods at this moment. Instead, you'll be delighted to know that I have decided to make the Munshi a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order as a special token of my personal esteem for his services to the Empire. That is all.

    • Abdul Karim: Listen, little drop, give yourself up without regret and in return you will gain the ocean. Give yourself away and in the great sea you will be secure.
