But this is a digression, because I don't like Keira Knightley, so I always stay away from her films. It’s just that I can’t help but watch "The Duchess". Of course, it’s all directed at Ralph Fiennes. Another British man. Although I have been aware of it all the time, it is under the advice of my classmates. I finally discovered the fact that there are so many handsome
boys in Britain and many beautiful women in France. Ralph Fiennes is an old handsome guy. He has never forgotten the elegant, charming and affectionate section of "The English Patient", even if he was burned beyond recognition. The temperament is still there; I can't forget the cruel and inhumane in "Schindler's List", even though he has a beer belly, he is still very handsome. Therefore, with infinite expectations of him, I deliberately ignored Keira Knightley and watched "The Duchess."
Strictly speaking, Ralph did not disappoint in this feminist film, although I only think that this person is him when he takes off the wig, but I have to admit that he really is. What is acting. As long as he wears that stupid hair set, he becomes a dull and indifferent lord, a very silly look.
He married the young, beautiful and energetic Georgiana, with the goal of giving birth to a male heir, but this woman gave birth to daughters one after another and looked forward to him with love. As everyone knows, what this powerful man wants is only a son. He would rather talk to the dog than to say a word to her, and finally forced the red apricot out of the wall. But the Duke’s logic is like this. He can mess around with flowers everywhere and even let his mistress live at home, but his wife can’t give him a cuckold, so he ruthlessly dismantled the lovers and sent away their illegitimate children, ignoring any of his wife’s illegitimate children. Revolt.
Only after so many tossings, the impersonal Duke finally showed his humanity, and he was rare to be gentle, and sat patiently next to his wife to talk to her, and shook her hand comfortingly, so immediately I suppressed the feminist Georgina, especially when she saw the Duke looking at their children running downstairs and expressing envy of freedom, she understood for the first time that the Duke lived in this monarchy for many years. The unspeakable repression and helplessness in the institutional society finally allowed the two to reach an understanding so that they could live peacefully with their mistress and a bunch of children, and even before Georgina died, he blessed the duke and his mistress.
After watching, apart from once again admiring Ralph's handsomeness and acting skills (such a character with few lines and completely relying on eye movements is very handy and familiar with the road), it is inevitable to sigh at the so-called beautiful Duchess: it turns out , Woman, your request is so humble, as long as you have a family, a child, and a husband who occasionally reveals your true feelings, then that's enough.
This is the case in ancient and modern China and abroad.
