"The Favourite" feels visually weird at the beginning, but it's quite shocking to insert such an ultra-wide-angle or even fisheye lens directly. But you know how grotesque this movie is when the queen says "f**k me" to her "favorite" and another angrily yells "f**kf**kf**k" when another darling falls out of favor It's not just visual.
"The Favourite" is about the court battle between two women beside Queen Anne in the early 18th century, and it's easy to think of the Qing court that I was popular with on TV. But this kind of association is actually untenable. The focus of "The Favourite" is not the palace fight, but the struggle of the inner power, desire and lust of the queen and the darlings behind the palace fight, and their spiritual world is extremely depressing, dark and peaceful. distortion.
Usually palace fighting dramas revolve around power and development, but "The Beloved" is about lust.
This explains that the various distortions of the ultra-wide lens, the palace, is the projection of the character's psychological world.
Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone both gave their best performances of all time, but Olivia Colemen's Queen Anne is the one who deserves to be remembered. Unlike Kate Blanchet, who plays Queen Elizabeth, Colemen was originally the appearance of an ordinary British aunt who has been a supporting role for many years. This time she let you know that the Queen can be an aunt, or weak, stupid, nervous, and so on. people sympathize.
These characters are placed in a weird atmosphere, and the movie has a kind of evil spirit that cannot be found in historical court dramas, so I will define "The Favourite" as "a new generation of court cult films". [bars teeth]
