Three daughters in one play

Looking at the sunshine outside the window today, I was in a daze, and suddenly remembered the show "The Favourite" that I watched 2 months ago. It was the first step in my life to watch it. It's not confused, it's tangled, chaotic, sober, hateful, and pitiful. Our sister Shitou blinks her big eyes like Tongling, looking for all opportunities to get ahead. In the play, she is an out-and-out scheming bitch, both men and women. Opportunists who can use it for themselves, like the director's shooting style, the combination of real and unreal, such as on stage.

    3.5. Lace fight at Queen Anne's court. A tribute to Barry Lyndon of Kubrick. The most popular of Yorgos Lanthimos is no longer the allegorical nature of the concept first. After all, I didn't write the script by myself, the distinctive grotesque style was diluted a lot, and the focus was shifted to the actors. Plus it's fun and entertaining. But I'm a little confused whether this is a good direction for the director...but the overall is a delicate film. The art costumes are excellent, and you can watch Sanshu Biao play accompanied by the cold and weird string music. Olivia Colman is the best, interpreting the lonely queen, mixing the absurd and sad

    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.
