      W.E.--Sad Love Should Be Abandoned

      History The story that Edward VIII only loves beauty but not the country has already been staged in "The King's Speech", but the American woman in "The King", who made Edward ecstatic and fascinated by the country and the city, just saw it. Knowing that it was arranged by the director to be disgusting, Edward was also portrayed as a prodigal son who gave up his country for the...

      W.E.: The Soundtrack to the Movie is Great!

      In the beginning, I knew its theme song was "Dance For Me Wallis," and I thought it was nice and elegant. I felt that the scene described was grand, and the non-stop single loop knew that it was the theme song of a movie, but I didn't have that deep impression of the movie's name. Later, I accidentally saw the video explaining the movie, and then I saw the clip of the movie. I thought it should be good, so I went to check it. I didn't expect the theme song to be...

      "W.E."--The Love Of Man And Smart Woman

      Women are smart and know what men like; women are smart enough to fall into the trap of pleasing men. She admired the man who admired her. It was like a rainy night. The street lights illuminated the street. The woman in a gorgeous dress and high heels paced back slowly, her seductive and somewhat arrogant eyes staring at the man in front of her, who was obsessed with step by step. Follow the footsteps, and always maintain a wonderful distance. A woman does not know that she is retreating to...

      What the Love of the Country wants to tell movie viewers is

      I learned from the "King's Speech" that this relationship in British history
      deepened from the "Crown". I want to explore this beauty, how can He Dehe let the king give up the throne

      world just saw the sacrifice made by King Edward VIII for beauty,
      but the director Madonna stood in the female perspective and told the world that the American woman Wallis Simpson was in order to obtain this love that is not understood and recognized by the world. , what is...

      I hope there is an equal soul who understands your beauty

      In the evening, I drank matcha tea cheaply, so I fell into insomnia with sadness, and accompanied by a headache, I watched the "Love in the Country". Sister Mai is also very good as a director, interpreting the greatest love in the 20th century from the perspective of a woman. The film's technique is interlude, starting with a woman in an unhappy marriage and unfolding the story as she pursues Mrs. Simpson's life. Sister Mai is worthy of being a feminist hardliner, and she interprets the...

      All for the love and the world well lost. Under Madonna's lack of self-control, the whole film turned into a 119mins-long Abel Korzeniowski MTV. But just for this score, this film is also worth...

      It's too horrible to watch, such a storyline that is difficult to go wrong and such a topic, actually made it so ugly =-=~ In fact, the performance of the actors is not bad, Andrea's Duchess is quite charming, the photography, props, costumes, music are not bad~ However, the double-line plot is irrelevant, the editing is even more fragmented, the lens style is changed from time to time with unclear meaning, and the language is unclear~ Basically, I want to make a literary film, and I can barely...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The English name of the film, WE, is the abbreviation of Wallis Edward (Wallis Edward) after the marriage of the Duchess of Windsor . The original name of the Duchess of Windsor was Bessie Wallis Warfield (Wallis Simpson) .
    The production cost of the film is almost all set by Madonna Louise Ciccone alone. Of course, she won the patronage of the British tax relief policy. The total investment in the film reached 36 million US dollars.

    Script adaptation

    In history, the Duke of Windsor who "loves beauty and does not love the country" is a well-known love, and the love stories about him and the twice-divorced woman are full of many different versions, or fragrant or charming. Sad scandals, lace and wild history. The director Madonna Louise Ciccone was not satisfied with shooting a historical film or a biographical film. He added another story to this film. This story takes place in...

    Evaluation action

    At the beginning of the film, two different eras are represented by a very natural lens transition, and as the story unfolds, the two protagonists complete a "time-out dialogue", showing women's love, marriage, children, and wealth. And the reflection and longing of fame and so on, thus completed a female symphony sonata   . (Netease Entertainment Review)
    Madonna Louise Ciccone did a lot of hard work to create the image of Wallis in...
