Sophisticated yet atmospheric, solemn yet humorous. Historical dramas are always a bit slow, and this one is no different. The whole atmosphere really took off from the end of the second episode. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Think of what you said in Game of Thrones, and adapt it: Kill the girl in your heart.
The word queen looks easy, but it has a weight that ordinary people cannot understand. You never have a lot of free time with your family, no opportunity to show your personality in public, and sometimes you have to make unwilling decisions. And you seem to be alone forever, even if there are a large number of parliamentarians, churches, etc., most of them are just a bunch of old-fashioned antiques. And your family is estranged from you because of the meager time you have, where there is almost no way to really communicate. So gradually, the "queen" who was supposed to be a mask became your everyday face, and the happy girl who would stop falling in love has long since disappeared.
I saw a lot of people scolding Philip. Well, all I can say is that if you are not him, you will never understand how he feels. The prince is actually a free-spirited person who loves freedom. Such a person is comparable to a bird trapped in an iron cage in the royal family. The girl she fell in love with gradually lost her smile and became unfamiliar. Her wife was the queen and she seemed to have only a title and was shrunk in the shadows. I'm not trying to say something disgusting "male superiority", but equality in marriage. If one party has far more power and status than the other, but lacks communication so that they cannot understand, how can happiness be possible? The prince is forced to do all the things he hates every day, and he will probably only live like this in his entire life. How can anyone live such a life without complaint? He only complained to his wife because he only trusted her with all his heart, and he was just looking forward to returning to his simple life like a child.
There are a few points that are more touching. One is that when George VI died, Elizabeth officially became queen. Reminds me of a sentence: the growth of each generation starts from the moment when the previous generation is buried in the ground.
The second is that the queen mother said at the beach that when others know who she is, she can no longer show her true face, and what she shows is just a sculpture. That kind of yearning for freedom and ordinary has never been cried, but there are tears in it.
The third is that Edward VIII finally said to the Queen on the phone: You have a country, protect it. In junior high school, like most people, he was fascinated by the plot that he didn't love the country and the beauty. As he learned more later, he also read it differently. But when I saw him blowing the bagpipes of his hometown with tears in the courtyard, and when I heard him say those words, it was the first time that I realized that love is really not a fairy tale. Overwhelmed by the daily chores again.
Everyone has everyone's burdens, and they are fighting a war that only they can see the smoke of gunpowder.
PS Really like Churchill so much, from Darkest Hour to here, his literary talent, artistic talent, unique sense of humor and proper empathy. I was really sad and moved when I finally resigned.
PPS Prince Philip is really more handsome than in the play, and the heroic spirit between his eyebrows is really unplayable.
PPPS clothes, the car is really nice~
PPPPS Lord Stannis, I actually recognized you at a glance. I'm amazing, hhh, his voice is really nice
