After watching the first episode, I habitually checked the information on the Internet and looked at the producer. Then, I was shocked-American drama? This drama, which is full of pure British style from beginning to end, turned out to be the handwriting of Americans. However, considering that the American TV industry is indeed full of crowns and talents, and they were able to produce a heavy and elegant historical drama like "John Adams" back then, they can make persistent efforts to make such a thicker, more elegant, more real and delicate "The Crown", It couldn't be more normal.
"The Crown" is about the life of the current Queen of England, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It is no exaggeration to say that Her Majesty the Queen is the most distinguished person in the world today. Her story, if you want to write it well, so that ordinary people can resonate and be inspired by it, is a technical job. But the crew passed the exam perfectly, grades, A+++++++++
As the famous novelist Eileen Chang said, life is a gorgeous robe, which is densely covered with lice. It is the most apt description for Her Majesty's life. The most noble birth in the world, the most honorable title, elegantly waving his hand on the tower, accepting the admiration and cheers of the people in his decent smile, the corner of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's eyes slowly passed the citizens in front of him, beside him. His family, behind him a quiet and solemn castle for hundreds of years. The four characters of family, country and world are the promise she took the initiative to undertake, and it is also the heavy responsibility that she has to bear on her.
Her Majesty's favorite name is actually her nickname, Lily White. Her father, King George VI, mother, Queen Elizabeth, grandmother, Queen Mary, husband, Prince Philip, and sister, Princess Margaret, all called her that. These people had all loved her simply and sincerely, whether she was Queen of England or not.
Before King George VI fell seriously ill, Princess Elizabeth, who served with her husband Captain Philip in the British Navy in Malta, lived the most carefree and relaxed life in her life. Although her status is expensive as the crown prince of the British Empire, her father, mother and grandmother carry the heavy burdens of her family and the world for her. She has not yet fallen on her shoulders. She is still the happy and safe newlywed woman with bright eyes and bright smile. She is bathing in the In the sweetness of family and love, a handsome, considerate and energetic husband, a lively, cute, well-behaved and clever child are the most authentic version of fairy tales in the world.
With the untimely death of her father, King George, the castle that had sheltered her for 25 years suddenly collapsed. At that time, Princess Elizabeth was still performing patrol duties on behalf of her father in the Commonwealth of Nations in Africa, but on a sunny morning, she received the bad news that her father, King George VI of England, had died.
From this moment on, Lily Bai, who used to be pretty, bright, lively and charming, was also buried in the ground along with her father's long sleep. Since then, she has become Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the most powerful and noble in the world, with a godhead implanted, a semi-concealed and semi-retractive personality. Forget the old Lily White and banish that once bright and pretty woman from afar.
The Queen's grandmother, Queen Mary, is noble and arrogant, but there are few women in the world who are both calm and wise. The long letter she wrote to the Queen on her way home in a hurry was so sincere that I was brought to tears.
Dearest Lily White:
I know you love your father dearly,
my child,
I also know that you are as saddened as I am by his sudden passing,
But you have to put those emotions down for a while now,
for your duty calls,
The pain of losing a father is unforgettable,
Your people need your strength and leadership,
I have seen with my own eyes three generations of great kings,
Defeated by not being able to draw the line between personal ties and mission,
You must not repeat the same mistakes,
As you mourn your father, you mourn another man,
Elizabeth Mountbatten,
Because she has been replaced by another, Queen Elizabeth,
The two Elizabeths would often clash,
The truth is that kingship must prevail, and it must prevail forever. (The Crown must win, must always win.)
The queen was only 26 years old when she was crowned, and at an age when most women were still coquettish in the arms of their parents and relatives, she became the king of a country. In the distant and ancient eastern country, there is a term dedicated to the monarch, called loneliness and widowhood. At the pinnacle of power and status, you can only stand alone, fight alone, without company, and no one can truly understand your hardships. The husband who once loved each other was told that he must always remember that she is the king and he is the minister, and can no longer stand side by side with her; the mother and grandmother curtseyed to her in the eyes of everyone, and surrendered to the king's authority; Then the younger sister who loved each other and supported each other and grew up together gradually became estranged from her, because the queen gave her too many promises, but she could not fulfill the promise due to various unavoidable reasons; the cute and well-behaved children when they were young were also estranged because the queen was busy with official business. Because of taking care of it, it leads to alienation and indifference of relationship——
Father George VI, as a king and father, had anticipated all this. That's why when she was dying, she still cared about her daughter's happiness, dragged her son-in-law Prince Philip to go hunting, dragging her heavy sick body. In fact, the real purpose was to tell her son-in-law: "Your mission is to love her and take good care of her. she."
It's just that the beautiful family members who are sweet and in love are no match for Homecoming, and they finally drift away and have no books in the long years.
Queen Mary is a prophecy.
And the only elder who could guide and truly assist the Queen, Prime Minister Churchill, first took a back seat because of old age, and soon died of illness. The ninth episode of the first season is the most artistic and thoughtful episode in the entire show, bar none. Life and death, good and evil, young, promising and old, the ambitions of the past and today's run and rejection, the queen's beauty and the prime minister's old age, all kinds of irreconcilable contradictions are fiercely colliding, merging, and arousing. The huge waves soared into the sky, but in an instant, they finally returned to destruction, and the curtain ended silently. The elusive but omnipresent fate is staring coldly at the world, with a big wave of the palm, the backhand is the cloud and the hand is the rain. The wheel of history rolls in and leaves slowly in the torrent of time. Even if the glory of the former mighty empire never falls, it has to succumb to the torrent of history.
News of the death of Prime Minister Churchill came, and the death knell sounded. The queen was silent, her eyes as calm as water.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Don't cry, the makeup will bloom; don't bow, the crown will fall. In the era of constitutional monarchy, in the post-war country that was full of waste and waste, the royal family has long passed the time when the power can do whatever they want. The parliament, the church, the people, neighboring countries, people from all walks of life, etc. have all kinds of eyes, all the time, all the time, and there is nothing to hide. Her Majesty the Queen is a symbol of honor, nobility and purity, carrying the country's hopes and fantasies. Her Majesty the Queen can of course retreat from the burden, just like her uncle, the former King Edward VIII and later the Duke of Windsor, he can abdicate for any reason, leave the responsibility on his shoulders to others, and live at ease for the rest of his life. , to be a wealthy idler. But for the queen who made an oath in Girls' Generation to contribute her life to her country and serve to the last moment, she has a natural sense of mission, and she will definitely carry the responsibility on her shoulders until the end of her life.
This is the reason why Her Majesty's reputation is still growing in today's times. Back then, when Scotland was clamoring for separation, then Prime Minister Cameron was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He tried every means and method, but he still could not make the Scottish people change their minds. In the end, Her Majesty the Queen just went to Edinburgh and asked, "Are you really going to leave this country?" The people of Scotland were speechless, and they silently voted for the option left. Only the British Isles can Continue to maintain a complete layout.
A hundred people responded, and thousands of people sang in harmony. Sometimes heroic impassion is not only reserved for men, but women who are elegant, quiet, gentle and graceful can also contain the same power.
God bless the queen! Long live the queen!
God bless the queen! Long live the queen!
