The camera is aimed at the queen, but an ordinary woman is photographed

After watching the movie, I recommended this movie with ZJ on WeChat. The following is based on my recommendation to her:

At first, the introduction was a palace fighting drama, so I wasn't very interested. It will feel that the relationship between the characters is more complicated, or the plot is too exaggerated. But when I saw the movie, it wasn't what I expected. The main scenes of the movie all take place in the Queen's palace, but it's more of a big manor because I read a few books on British history and aristocracy plus Shakespeare's on a whim in previous years (after studying "Foreign Legal History"). Henry X's script, so I can still understand the court environment inside, including the darling, as well as the cabinet members and opponents in the party struggle, all belong to the category of nobles here.

As the other end, I would think that the portrayal of Queen Anne is very good. This woman is very different from the queen you can imagine. She looks pitiful and helpless, sometimes laughs at herself, wailes when she is sick, and more At that time, she was only lonely, because everyone could not communicate with her equally. So in private, the kind of relationship Mrs. Ma has with her satisfies her extremely important personal emotions, and because of this background, I don't even think the queen is really a lesbian.

So on the other hand, under the high-sounding, she has a lot of hysterical indignity. For ordinary people, this may be a relatively ordinary thing. The relationship between any three friends may also contain these more or less. Factors: such as control, jealousy, deceit, etc. So the best thing about this movie for me is that although the camera is aimed at the queen, it shows an ordinary woman.

In addition, the soundtrack is also very good, except for a few waltzes with sound sources, I prefer the more cramped and monotonous soundtrack in the middle with the scenes of the characters moving in the palace.
