Strongly recommend the "favourite". The film travels back in time to 18th-century England, based on real events between Duchess Sarah Churchill and Queen Anne. Strangely, unlike most orthodox British court dramas, the primitive etiquette and political laws of high society are reduced to the fringes, and the film is replaced by the bizarre and absurd love triangle under the power structure.
Queen Anne, the most lonely thing is that she has power, and the love of those favorites can only become a control game of power. Power can help her retain her lover, but that's not true love.
In this rally of love and power, the favourite is like a spell that no one can do.
Those too scared to lose something can never really hold ownership of it.
Life is a walk on a tightrope, the only way to survive is by finding a balance between using others, and being used by them.
Perhaps people are being used voluntarily, because it still makes them feel better than being forgotten completely.
This movie is about the above three sentences, about the instinct of survival, about using and being used, and about the fear of being forgotten. To put it bluntly, all classes need means in order to survive, and being used is sometimes their ability to survive, and what people fear most in their hearts is to be marginalized by those they care about.
