After watching the third season and then reviewing the first season, it is really much better. The performance is delicate and the narrative is also exquisite. Just finished watching the sixth episode and couldn't help but want to record some of my favorite places.
I loved Princess Margaret's character and the cast of the first two seasons, and this episode was her plummeting from a happy peak, and life went off the rails. At first she watched her sister's coronation on TV and became "the most famous woman", but she said to Peter without any hesitation, "but I am the luckiest" that kind of undisguised joy from the heart is good Impressive. Everyone, including Margaret himself, knew that this relationship would lead to irresponsible remarks, but Peter was so good and trustworthy, and Margaret was so sincere and happy, so Elisabeth couldn't help but repeatedly promise to make his sister come true. She wanted to get out of Scotland to get married, to make up for the injustice Peter suffered, to reunite them briefly before they were forced to separate. But every step, in the end, was defeated by "the interests of the royal family".
At the beginning of the telephone connection, the layers of Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret for Her Majesty are really funny, the trembling uncle, who speaks words slower than others. What's more important is that at the end of this episode, Margaret found that she had been completely betrayed. When she was asking her guilt, she said that she wanted to call her sister, and you could immediately think of this layer upon layer, and you were anxious before it even started.
Phillip's role here is very small, but it is closely related to Margaret. Elisabeth said she didn't know when her sister would forgive her, and Phillip's response was clear: she'll forgive you one day, she has to forgive you. We must all forgive you. Although Phillip has always opposed Margaret's marriage, when it comes to being forced to sacrifice for the royal family, he and Margaret are the most direct victims. The child cannot have his surname, and the family cannot be chosen by himself, because the Queen's husband's identity is restricted in his words and deeds, and his career plan has been suspended. However, the royal family and the cabinet have never regarded him as a real insider, and it is difficult to find a suitable person. His status and meaningful position. In the end, he would go out from time to time and go to parties with friends all weekend. Elisabeth looked lonely, but how much of this loneliness was caused by her identity, the inevitable consequence of her choosing to sacrifice her family? But, at the end of the day, like Phillip said, they had to forgive her, which they had no choice as subjects.
Elisabeth does these things because The Crown must win. The Crown must always win. Every episode sees her struggle as a person under the oppression of the throne, and it's not easy to see her balance. However, when it comes to this episode, I can't help but question how the royal family wins. Obviously there is no winner in this episode, Margaret is forced to separate from Peter and eventually lose him, and has since held a grudge against her sister and the family, and the royal family has been ruthless and outrageous in order to prevent the "scandal". Looking back, whose fault was it?
