In my impression, European court films are always similar

The heroine wanted to marry a golden turtle-in-law, but the golden turtle-in-law always regarded the hostess as a reproductive tool. After suffering from long-term loneliness, betrayal, and repression, the hostess wanted to get love, so she turned to find her favorite lover. It was the bleak end of things.

In fact, from the moment the heroine married into a wealthy family, the ending was already predictable.

The ending of the film is quite happy, but it is very confusing.

Does the duke love the duchess? If he loves her, why does he treat her rudely, and if he doesn't, why does he choose to be tolerant? Is it for the dignity of the upper class, or is he loving in another way?

Whether the supporting actress who is the best mistress of her best friend has planned to become the duke's mistress from the very beginning, or is it half-hearted for her own purpose and then she will go with the flow. Does she have any sincerity to the Duchess as a friend?

The most incredible thing is that the role of this junior was easily accepted, and even after the death of the first duchess, received blessings to become the next duchess? ? ?

The film's portrayal of the heroine accounts for the vast majority, and the role of the second female lead is weakened, which makes people confused. Although it is a movie with a big heroine, the techniques are basically frontal descriptions, and it is not enough to watch if there is no side contrast. In contrast, "Another Boleyn Girl" is better. The two heroines' Fighting in the dark.

The plots of the two films are also quite similar, and the deep palace compound is always different. However, in different dynasties, "The Other Boleyn Girl" is more classical and darker, while "The Duchess" is more gorgeous and bright.
