People say "three women in one play", and this film is just this structure: Queen Anne who has no power to manage the country, but has supreme power;
Sara, the queen's lover who is very powerful in all aspects, has the power to handle the country, but does not have the supreme power;
Abigail, born poor and suffering but ambitious, develops a triangular relationship into a game of power.
Queen Anne stood at the top of her power, her heart was extremely empty and her emotions were capricious. The loss of 11 children brought her too much blow. What comforted her was Sarah's love and comfort. She did not regard it as a "life experience", but she did not regard it as a responsibility, and put the responsibility on Sarah. She also depended on Sarah emotionally, and Sarah was a "straight daughter" who disdained sweet words. She bluntly said that the queen is like a stork. Sometimes telling the truth is loving and sincere, but sometimes it has the power to destroy one's self-confidence.
Unlike Sarah, Abigail is very flattering to Annie, saying that she is beautiful and attractive, pretending to like her little white rabbit, but stepping on the little white rabbit behind her feet, she looks gentle on the surface, but is actually full of scheming , I want to grab Annie and climb up. It can be said that she has a wrist, but there is no way to say that she is a villain. Sarah said that she has a docile personality, has experienced hardships, and really wants stability and peace, but she did not expect that she was only right in the first half In other words, what she wants is not stability and tranquility, but a position of power.
Annie, who lacked self-confidence in her heart, faced Abigail's flattery, she didn't refuse and even felt very happy, thinking that someone finally liked her from the bottom of her heart, accepted her imperfection completely, and loved her without limit. Presumably she didn't understand the truth of "like is presumptuous, and love is restraint", so she believes in this "love" that came out of thin air.
Abigail, who won the Queen's love, got the power she wanted, but she was not happy. She became an empty "Queen 2 Generation". Sarah, who was run away, was the winner, and she was the Queen's right-hand man. , lover, the actual power of state affairs, step back, she is the Duchess. She can advance and retreat freely, she has enough confidence.
I especially like the fisheye lens in the film (it should be called fisheye), weird and perfect, and the part where Sarah and Abigail compare marks together.
In the first paragraph, Abigail failed to hunt, and was still Sarah's waiter;
In the second paragraph, Abigail can hit the prey, but she can't kill her with one shot. At this time, Abigail already has the ability to negotiate with Sarah.
In the third paragraph, Abigail shot the prey to death and blood splattered Sarah's face. At this time, Abigail had already posed a threat to Sarah's identity. Their war horns sounded.
This film has good-looking pictures, advanced shooting techniques, perfect costumes, excellent plot, and good-looking protagonists. It's really good.
