Why do you think "the technology is beautiful, but it's not important"

The hard drive is very small, but there are still two video versions of Donizetti's stupid "Mary Stuart" with limited talent, and I take a look from time to time, even if I just listen to the stupid tenor character Dade A few silly words from Lee Hoo (the plot is: he is loved by the powerful ruler Elizabeth I, but he loves the imprisoned Queen of Scots, and wants to use the former's love for himself to rescue the latter from the twins. Elizabeth is so loved by her sweetheart Unreasonable request, in a fit of rage, he killed his lover, he always yelled a few words back and forth in pain... I prefer to hear these stupid shouts).

In order to spread interest, I watched the documentary "Queen of Murder" - the real Dudley in history, his obstructive wife was newly found to have been hammered to death, not the one who has always explained that she was sick and her neck was broken... ...The crowd sympathized with the innocent murder of the girl. I also watched this movie and thought it was technically very good (such as Rush's performance, when he first returned to China, his eyes and the old man in the conspiracy circle - the servant boy and maid who had already taken refuge with the political enemy slightly intersected, burying the dark lines behind the joints, Subtle and beautiful). Of course it is very unimportant in art. Why do you think so?

That is: I think it is even better than the drama of the weak emperor who died in confusion, such as the death of Edward II in the base, and the failure of Richard II as the second generation to cut the vassal. Queen Elizabeth I is a strong man. In a dangerous political situation, she carefully avoided three unqualified suitors and subsequent traps, and purged and rebuilt the unreliable courtiers. Correctly align politically with Ruthless Worthingham. Our generation will only cry "Too many bad people..." Duo Duo. However, she is not as impressive as the aforementioned two idiots to the death of the audience?

Why? Because Richard II was willful and incompetent, but he was painfully human before his death. His pain, predicament, and self-reflection have reached the resonance of human nature transcending the individual? Has he become a philosophical death row? A dying man with a literary image? (Copying from a British drama point of view...)

Or in this work, every character is a political figure: profit-driven, no bottom line. No ideal scholar or nobleman? For example, the politics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in my country are not clear, but there are people who are rich in book ideals and personalities from time to time, and they encourage themselves with the history of the past, such as burning a car and suppressing the slaves of the Shen family. Yang Shenxiu, who has voted on his own network, can make people feel that his personality is magnificent. This work seems to be more like Gongdou and Survival. So it feels limited?

People in Elizabeth I hated Dudley, hated him for seeking to marry the Queen in order to mingle with the kingship. I hate that he obviously has another wife, and his wife died suspiciously. The masses of later generations also despise this kind of scumbag—an opportunist careerist. We don’t like it whether it has a stake or not. But in Donizetti's opera, he is whitewashed as a righteous young man who is reckless and burnt by love, and the masses feel stupid to death, the drama is mentally retarded...but cute?

Elizabeth quotes

  • [on the Virgin Mary]

    Elizabeth: She had such power over men's hearts. They died for her.

    Sir Francis Walsingham: They have found nothing to replace her.

  • Sir Francis Walsingham: Madam, if I may. A prince should never flinch from being blamed for acts of ruthlessness which are necessary for safeguarding the state and their own person. You must take these things so much to heart that you do not fear to strike. Even the very nearest that you have if they be implicated.
