Queen: Politics

Mozelle 2022-11-24 12:00:50

You can't force one person to mourn the death of another, and it's "from the heart". But tens of thousands of angry people who don't know what to do can. No matter from which angle you look at it, this is cruel, and the people's emotions need to be calmed down, so the imaginary target of public criticism was uncovered. "I'm not good at acting", but under the balance, I still put down my dignity and go out of the palace to cater to these rabble.

You might say that the feeding of 40 million square meters of land (without paying taxes) is at least worth the grievances of individual historical moments. Indeed, most of the Queen's compromises are the result of grievances. But just like the elk that went to other people's territory and was hunted by businessmen, does the Queen have a little apology for Princess Di, "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me"? After all, the deceased is already old. For the mother of the imperial grandson, even if she is not a "competent" mother, the queen still has some influence. "My education taught me to be deeply emotional and not expressive." I believe that the Queen's diary will not be as cold as when she told her husband about Princess Diana. Still, the card in front of Buckingham Palace was enough to make her sad. Times have changed, and the royal rules of life have also changed. It is necessary to use a political practitioner who is good at balance like Blair as a link to start a process of transition from tradition to modernity. Tradition needs to be adjusted, right or wrong, and the Queen knows that.

There are also fragments of speeches in the film. In "The King's Speech", the king wants to speak but cannot speak, and in "The Queen" he can speak but does not want to speak. At the same time, the current situation forced to give a speech. The difference is that the queen is much more reluctant than her father. Modern people are easily instigated, and in Blair's words, they cannot be "saved". It turns out that this problem is true in both China and the West. The weakness of human nature is magnified several times in the context of "many people", so there are aggressive people representing "modern", compromises representing "tradition", and opportunistic politicians like Blair who are like firefighters.

Although the film portrays Blair as the Labour leader of the Prince's faction, and even deduces an Oedipus complex for the Queen. But from a rational point of view, smart politicians don't do revolutionary things that are useless to themselves. Blair is sophisticated and tactful, and it is not a kind of prudent protection when he successfully resolves the crisis of the royal family. It can be said that the Queen, Charles, Blair, and the Minister of Royal Affairs in the film, none of them can be themselves, and it is impossible for politicians to wear masks without masks. It's just a bargaining chip. Eventually the queen relented, and a seemingly turbulent crisis passed. What did the angry people get, the comfort of Diana's spirit in heaven? The Queen's insincere performance? Sometimes I feel that your anger is unreasonable and unreasonable. The reason why politics presents hypocrisy, trade-offs, and compromises is actually caused by you. Seek benevolence and gain benevolence, and there is no need to blame the muddy water of politics.

The Queen quotes

  • Prince Philip: Have you seen the latest funeral guest list?

    HM Queen Elizabeth II: No.

    Prince Philip: I suggest you keep it that way. A chorus line of soap stars and homosexuals.

  • Alastair Campbell: They, er, sent a copy of the Queen's speech. Might want to scrape the frost off it first... Oh, I phoned them with a couple of suggestions, to make it sound like it came from a human being.

    Tony Blair: Yeah, all right, Alastair.

    Alastair Campbell: Well, at least the old bat's finally agreed to visit Diana's coffin.

    Tony Blair: You know, when you get it wrong, you really get it wrong! That woman has given her whole life in service to her people. Fifty years doing a job SHE never wanted! A job she watched kill her father. She's executed it with honor, dignity, and, as far as I can tell, without a single blemish, and now we're all baying for her blood! All because she's struggling to lead the world in mourning for someone who... who threw everything she offered back in her face. And who, for the last few years, seemed committed 24/7 to destroying everything she holds most dear!
