"Princess of Monaco" tells the story of Oscar-winning actress Grace Kelly (Nicole Kidman) who became the Princess of Monaco. In the boring and restrictive palace, life was already boring. After receiving an invitation from Hollywood to invite her to film, the contradiction between self and family further intensified, and the marriage was almost on the verge of breaking. Under the guidance of the priest, Grace gave up her dream for the family and became a noble and elegant princess of Monaco who helped her husband achieve political victory.
The entire film is undoubtedly shot from the perspective of men. If feminists see it, the film is the process of the heroine Grace burying herself, which is really not worthy of publicity in today's society. However, my moderate or even cowardly character is not good at making intense expressions. I just want to pretend to live in a world where men and women are equal, and write in moderation: stick to your choice and have no regrets.
When Grace was in pain, watching the video of her marriage to King Rainier III of Monaco (played by Tim Roth, I have to be surprised, he turned out to be the protagonist of "The Pianist at Sea"), when she was saddened and wept, Grace cried. Lace's trusted priest (Frank Langella) tells her that this is the life you choose.
Acting is undoubtedly Grace's hobby as a film actress, but that was different when she decided to marry the King of Monaco. Her wedding to the King of Monaco was, in a sense, Grace's "burial" as an actress. Because, from now on, she is no longer Grace, but the Princess of Monaco.
Even if they love again, who would be willing to bury themselves with their own hands? The Princess of Monaco was not reconciled. So, when she saw the script, she was still full of passion, reciting the lines over and over again.
And no matter how much you love, who has the courage to fight against the whole world? None of the kings of Monaco had such courage. So, when he agreed to Grace to act but caused a big uproar in the country, he still asked her to give up.
The Princess of Monaco's choice was to completely bury actress Grace. She couldn't bear the consequences of leaving her husband and her children, so she had to compromise. She learned all kinds of etiquette, language, history, focusing on everything about her husband, and made herself a complete concubine of the king.
Grace did, or as the priest said, devoted herself to playing the role of "Princess of Monaco". Elegant, beautiful, and politically sophisticated, it stuns all four.
Burial means new life, in order to find another kind of happiness on another road.
Some people put various halos on Grace, saying that it is a fairy tale, and even joked that the film should not affect their happiness index.
But what I saw was the real reality. The princess, like any ordinary person, often had to face choices, and choices inevitably meant giving up. People are afraid of being hesitant when it is time to make a choice, but even more afraid of regretting the choice after making the choice.
What I admire about her is that she was able to make a choice resolutely, bury her former self, and stick to it to the end, never looking back.
