looking too tired

It took a long time to watch the movie, but after watching it, it was not very boring. Not interested in politics, the knowledge of the British royal family is limited to high school history textbooks, several unremembered dynasty names, the constitutional monarchy system repeatedly circled by teachers, and some trivial fragments of newspapers and TV reports on Diana's life.
When watching, it is like a bystander watching this once major historical event. Looking at it lightly, the emotion that cannot penetrate. It's like I can't get enough of the grief that Diana's death brings to people. Is this a great tragedy amplified by the media? Like the Queen's confusion and dissatisfaction with the grief of the populace. How can people grieve for someone they don't know. Time also buries everything. This is the queen, she has never looked at things with her own personal emotions and is too rational. Even though stimulated by the speeches of those flowers, the little girl gave her flowers and was moved. Too humane behavior can never be seen from her. Those who lost their temper when they were angry, laughed when they were happy, filtered out of her, and saw that they were the result of a rational attitude towards handling things. Calmness, serenity, nobility, status, a sense of distance from royalty. Because she is the queen.
I love seeing the scene cut to the Blairs, the colors are bright. Cherie's modern style is too lively compared to the Queen. Cherie freely expresses her opinions, which is very humane. The royal family needs to maintain nobility, deliberately keep a distance from others, and suppress personal emotions. Is it necessary for modern society? This historical precipitation filters the process, just like the queen's attitude towards things.
Blair looked at the Queen's eyes and attitude, as respectful as a minister. It's just a formalism. The queen said a little sullenly, "Have the values ​​of modern people changed? I don't know my people anymore."
This woman who suppressed her personal emotions all her life and always regarded her historical responsibilities as the first, had status and dignity. In the end, it was the loneliness that could not be concealed.
Under the precipitation of history, what is left to her is just a courtesy to preserve the dignity? Is it too heavy. .

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!
