I can't like it, not for some profound reason, but because after watching this film, I don't know why I want to watch it, I don't know why the director wanted to make it, and even, I don't even know why Queen Mary can become a filmmaker. theme.
Because she is beautiful? Because she is luxurious? Because she was first the Grand Duchess and then the Queen? Because she is a sinner? Or because she is also a victim?
Does this constitute a reason to pay attention to her?
I admit that I have preconceptions about Queen Mary. So Zweig's biography was easy to pick up, I didn't watch it, but chose the movie - I thought the movie would tell me in a short period of time whether there was anything to be discovered about this character, and whether there was any reason to pay attention. . Indeed, even a vulgar translation lover like me didn't expect it to be convincing. My request was just enough to make me interested in this character, whether the interest was positive or negative. But this movie failed to do that. It only provided a running account, which recorded some allusions that even a layman like me could hear.
The only surprise is its ending, which doesn't end on the guillotine. Yet should I see it as an innovation, or as nondescript? Now I can't be sure.
