Another lengthy, over three-hour film, the blandness of the plot sums up the daily life of the European aristocracy in the sixteenth century - food, clothing, housing, travel, and even a bit brutal battle scene in the accompaniment of military music. It also seems to be step by step, and the heart-wrenching plot is only the two duels at the beginning and end of the film⚔️.
In one scene, the protagonist, who is a young boy, challenges his rival, who is an officer, to escape, which begins the whole story of the film. It tells the whole story of the film and completes the big cycle of ups and downs in the protagonist's life.
The beauty of the pictures (blue sky, white clouds and green land, the ancient castle pond and the gorgeous square) and the music (it is said that they are all famous songs), the rigid dialogue and narration, as well as the exaggerated makeup and movements of the various characters in the film, make me feel like appreciating a drama.
It stands to reason that I don't like this kind of running account-like feature films, but the movie did not let me watch it. Instead, I watched it in one breath. Maybe I was trying to spy on the life of the European aristocrats in that historical period with a curious mentality. daily?
The style of the film of the great director Kubrick is completely different from the films I have seen. Why make such a film?
