I'd rather call her Wallis than Mrs. Simpson.
Two hours long, an unusual look at a fairytale love story. People only know that Edward VIII gave up his country for Mrs. Simpson, so affectionate, courageous, and unparalleled in the world; people only remember that Wallis was a slut who ruined the country, an enemy of Britain, who deserved to be criticized and died in a foreign country. No one cares how heavy the shackles this woman bears. She bears all those trumped-up charges and lives in a cage in the name of love until she dies. Why doesn't anyone ask that great man, why he has the courage to give up everything, why doesn't he have the courage to take responsibility? No matter how much you laugh at an already unfortunate woman, she just follows her heart and loves someone she shouldn't!
At first, I thought it would be a movie like Queen Mary. It used 120 minutes to tell the story between a romantic aristocrat and a lonely young woman. It used noble and elegant sets and dazzling luxury to support the scene. Except for marry standing on the balcony and bowing guiltily, there is nothing profound. . Fortunately, Madonna didn't shoot like that. I remember watching her concert records when I was young. Now I think about it and it's sexy to the extreme. It's rare that the film is delicate and not artificial, and there are not too many meat scenes that affect the purity of the plot.
WE, we. Are the two of us just us? Wallis wasn't a cowardly woman, judging by what her first husband did to her, but when Edward said he was willing to give up the throne for her, Wallis refused and then fled. As soon as Houmen entered the depths like the sea, it wasn't that she didn't understand. If this relationship can really stand up to the world's rejection, and it is really so steadfast, she has nothing to be afraid of. Wallis knew very well that the person who loved not only himself, but also the freedom he gained with a gorgeous lie like "love beauty but not the country". Wallis said: "He used me to get out of jail and put me in a cage. She taught Wally not to look back and to accept the new things that life has brought, but she never thought that the new life she got did not bring her out of the sea of misery, and even the words in the news reports hurt her far more than the body. of pain. She reassures Wally that no one can hurt her unless you acquiesce to them. At least that's what she can say until the British royal family draws a line with them. But when the royal family took such an extreme attitude towards this matter, the man who kept in love with her not only failed to protect her already riddled with holes, but instead imposed all the suffering on her. "It's not the enemy who did those things, it's our friend, friend." How many turbulent world conditions must be experienced to be considered a life in vain? She did nothing wrong, why should she face such a heavy punishment.
The world praised Edward's affection, and envied her that she could take such a man as her own. On the contrary, the bystanders are confused, and the authorities are clear. She clearly understands that fairy tales are not all as glamorous as outsiders see them. What's the use of more gems, can they light up her withered life? The image of her crying while standing in front of the balcony has always been in my mind, with tears on her face, accompanied by her vicissitudes of life monologue, "No one knows how difficult this seemingly romantic love of the century is, and I finally I have to keep walking with him, always, always." She didn't have the strength to say no again. The moment he abandoned everything for her, she lost the right to abandon him.
No matter how much you love, you can't let an unfortunate present give rise to a more unfortunate future. I have always been deeply grateful for the words of an English teacher in junior high school: as a woman, you must have your own career, and you can only stand up by spending your own money. Wally gave up his career, took the responsibility of not being able to conceive to himself, carefully courted his irritable and selfish husband, and finally found the courage to choose a luxury item that he could afford, only to be roared and beaten by his husband. : "I'll keep you and dress you up, you need my permission to spend my money!" This is to tell naive women, don't believe what a man in love says, they can say all their rhetoric in love, but they won't Pay for the promises made. Wally asked her if she could change her destiny, and she smiled kindly and nonchalantly, what do you think, I thought you knew the answer. Wally is not Wallis, but she seems to be repeating her fate, including Wally's insistence to read her handwritten letter, the whole world believes in the lie of love, the whole world thinks she is happy, but Wally doesn't believe it. This history finally has meaning, at least let a modern woman learn from it and avoid repeating the same mistakes. She left a husband who did not respect her at all, broke away from a failed marriage, and started a new life.
I often hear people say that they don't believe in love anymore. I've ridiculed it the same way, and now it seems that love is believable until it's been betrayed, humiliated, abused, and tortured for life. It's just too tiring to be a woman who makes men all over the country, we just need to be good enough to make men pour out their wallets. Of course, even without his wallet, we have to afford bread, and as Zhang Xiaoxian said, I want both love and bread.
Why? Because she deserves it.
