Queen, the darlings are her winning alliance

After reading all of them, I really like "The Favourite". This is indeed a film with a strong personal style. History tells the film that you can play whatever you want. The director is happy. On the surface, but it still looks very emotional. I especially like the last set of shots. The full screen of rabbits creates a grotesque and frightening atmosphere, and the paradox of the ruler and the ministers controlling each other: the queen who seems to be at the mercy of the maid is pressing her head and holding her hair tightly. ; The expression of the seemingly dominant maid gradually became numb and submissive, and the two actors contributed the most tense performance at the end of the film... In response to that sentence, your uncle is still your uncle, and your queen will always be your queen. Ren Er was wind from east to west and north to south, and I stood still.

In history, although Queen Anne was very bumpy and was inevitably controlled by others, she was not stupid. The decisions she made conformed to the big historical trend. The rise of Britain is indispensable for her contribution.

The music is well received, the harpsichord is very 17th century, especially the design of the subtitles.

    Lanthimos is a true Kubrick fan base, from the angle of the facial close-up to the alienation of the classic soundtrack. However, the "weird" palace fighting atmosphere he created is all concentrated in his stylized audio-visual language (wide-angle and even fish-eye distortion lenses, night scenes with almost no lighting and only candlelight, slow motion), as if he only learned the fur. , a fast-running, abbreviated version of Kubrick's imitation of the big show. However, this skin is beautiful enough, and the beautiful scenes, costumes and etiquette of the palace are loaded with wonderful performances by three actresses, and they teach on the spot how to speak in a serious and polite manner. Behind the balance of elegance and vulgarity is the clean and smooth film rhythm that the director has accumulated over the years. A single shot has enough informational power and focus, as well as an outstanding aesthetic atmosphere. It's very entertaining, and at the end I also understand that everything about Gongdou is actually futile and abusive. It's like a court erotica, but it can also be out of the way.

    Be superficial, but don't be vulgar. There are a lot of dirty words and pictures like "fuck" and sexual organs. I don't like this weird and salty atmosphere, and the provocative flirting clips are hard to laugh. A bunch of court movies are better than this one, Emma Stone is not suitable for ancient costumes (and dew points)! The director's wife is Ariane Labed!
