It was the first time I watched a movie in Kazakhstan, but it was a pleasant surprise.
The story tells the story of Queen Tomelis, a queen of the steppe nomads. The queen's mother died when she gave birth, and her father wanted to train her to be a brave and intelligent warrior. However, before the queen was an adult, his father was killed by a mutiny in the clan. The queen fled to a new tribe, which happened to be threatened by the queen's enemies, so the new tribe combined with the queen to kill the traitors, and the queen regained the throne of her own tribe. She also married the heir of another tribe, Agung, and had children, thus leading a peaceful family life. However, this calm was broken by the ambassador sent by the King of Prussia. Agung obeyed the ambassador's words and went to Babylon alone, but was killed. The queen rejected the King of Prussia's proposal, determined to avenge her husband and son. Finally, by uniting the entire tribe, the queen fought heroically and successfully killed the King of Prussia.
Because it is a medieval story, the whole film is in a gray tone. Except for the clothes of the queen and the king of Prussia, everyone's clothes are gray and dirty, and even the sky is gray. In addition, since there are no electric lights, the interior is gray and black. Although there are torches lighting, it is still not clear. This tone is very in line with the actual situation, allowing the audience to be immersed in the imagination of the Middle Ages, which is an enjoyment for medieval history fans.
The telling of the story is plain and eloquent, without deliberately creating dramatic conflicts, because the queen's story itself is already exciting enough. Perhaps the most exciting thing in the movie is the final war with the King of Prussia. In general, this war scene is still possible, roughly restoring the medieval cavalry battle scene. The aerial footage is very suitable for showing this cavalry combat and helps to give the audience an overall picture. Every one of us feels exciting when seeing this kind of war scene. It may be that, as the book A Brief History of Humanity says, we are all descendants of murderers, and our blood is full of genes for aggression and looting. After all, for most of human history, just like the time when the queen was in the movie, due to low productivity, the most important way for most peoples and tribes to survive is to plunder other peoples.
The hostess Queen Tomelis is undoubtedly a person whom everyone respects and admires. She is brave and intelligent. From the Queen’s body, we see that the most important quality of a ruler is intelligence, being able to correctly judge the situation, and being able to make a reasonable battle plan. It is the queen’s bravery and intelligence that has helped her gain time and time again in her rugged life. victory. Compared to her husband, Agong, although brave, did not have enough wisdom, was killed in the end.
Movies are also an important way to export values and worldviews. Through this movie, we can see that a true heroine relies on bravery and wisdom, and relies on her own strength. Rather than being like a domestic pseudo-female heroine, relying on coming and going, or relying on men, not yourself. In addition, a female protagonist should also be calm, not silly. I feel that many TV dramas in China need to promote the development of the story through the heroine's awkwardness, the virgin complex and the stupidity.
This movie not only reproduces the historical story of Queen Tomelis slaying the King of Prussia bravely, but also gives everyone the female power we want.
Although due to the hardships of the world, most women are going to be ordinary and mediocre like their predecessors, but there are always a few women who are born true warriors. They are capable, intelligent and ambitious, and can find them in a difficult world. The light of your own. What I understand about feminism is that the world needs to give such women a platform to show themselves, and it needs to give these great women the honor they deserve.
There are many men who scold women's rights on the Internet, and many women who scold men. I think these people have imposed the hardships of life on each other. In fact, for most of us ordinary people, marriage is mutually beneficial and win-win. The vast majority of men and women, if they do not get married, will actually have a worse life. If you leave your boyfriend or girlfriend, you won't get rich. What we need to understand is that only when we men and women live in harmony can we achieve happiness, or an easier life.
Women's rights are something that did not exist before. There is no standard answer to what women's rights look like. This requires rational and objective thinking by each of us. When we talk about our own interests and contributions, we also consider the other's interests and contributions. Through the efforts of all of us, we will find a more reasonable social mechanism suitable for our new society.
Finally, I want to say that, like Queen Tomelis, wisdom is a very important thing for each of us.
