"The Favourite" is a very interesting film, and it opens like a chapter-style historical novel. The story itself is indeed quite historical, so if you have a certain knowledge of British or European history, it will be easier to get into the play. The heroine of the court story told in this film is Anne, the last Queen of the Stuart dynasty in England in the early 18th century. the struggle for European hegemony. The main character of Britain's participation in the war is Marlborough, played by Mark Gatiss (that is, the elder brother of "Curl Fu"), Marlborough's wife, Sarah, is Queen Anne's lady-in-waiting and same-sex partner. Queen Anne's fate was ill-fated, with all 17 of her previous children dying, plus obesity and severe gout, showing neuroticism and even hysteria. Sarah's distant cousin, Abigail, was forced to go to herself because of her livelihood. Who would have thought that she would step by step to become the queen's new favorite by virtue of her own skills. The end of the play is that in the palace fight and political wrestling, Sarah was defeated and exiled by the queen along with her husband, and the queen could only fall into deeper pain after seeing Abigail's true face. For this film, what I want to say is that the viewing process will never make people feel boring, the reason is that the three female characters are so good and superb! Olivia Colman, who plays Queen Anne, has been widely recognized. She won the Venice Film Festival and the American Golden Globe Award for this film. When watching the film, pay attention to her facial expressions and body movements, which are sometimes calm and sometimes distorted. Sometimes crazy and sometimes helpless, the master-level performance is quite enjoyable to watch! Definitely an Oscar winner! Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, the former best actress and supporting actress at the Oscars, needless to say, the textbook-style interpretation of the characters, both of which are nominated for this year's Oscars for supporting actresses are well deserved! "The Favourite" was nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Art Direction. "Roma" is one of the hottest candidates, and it's worth watching.
