Deeper than expected

The story after Kelly married the Grand Duke Rainier III of Monaco. The rhythm of a typical commercial film, although it involves love, conspiracy, politics, and inspiration. But everything is not vivid, and the difference between reading the princess's diary is not very big. But I have to say that Nicole Kidman is a bit like Kelly. The movie gave me the feeling that Hollywood superstars married into the royal family, but it does not mean that the love between two people has spread and blossomed. On the contrary, it is because of the different values ​​of Americans and Europeans, freedom, independence, and image-focused royal family. Contradictory. In the film, although Grace lost her shadow at the beginning, she did not completely give up her Hollywood art career. Her heart was contradictory and painful. Although she tried her best to play the role of the princess, as a free American, the education she received was incompatible with the etiquette required by the royal family. She herself didn't really feel how to be a princess, because at this time she was actually only herself in her heart, and she didn't realize the meaning of being a princess by marrying into the royal family. In the middle of the film, contradictions emerged, suspected of internal usurpation, and huge pressure from France. The love that was praised by the world was almost fragmented and could not be changed. But the protagonist's halo forced her to realize that these problems are not problems, so she uses American methods to change these, to defend a family and country that belongs to her. In fact, what the film conveys is still some American theme instillation, especially the final speech. Compared with many movies that also have speech fragments, it looks soft and artificial. At that moment, it seems that Zhao Baogang is possessed. Compared with AlPacino's final academy speech in "Scent of a Woman", it seems a bit far-fetched and immature. But I like the composition and tone of the film. It also succeeded in telling a simple truth: there are gains and losses, but it depends on how you think and do it. Grace is a Hollywood superstar and an actor. She has nostalgia for the stage, and is responsible for art and herself. But holding on with this kind of thinking is painful after all, as there is no precedent for the princess to take the stage. At first, Grace just wanted to fulfill the responsibilities of a mother, a wife, and a princess. Rather than loving the role given by this life stage. When magnifying her vision and focusing on life, she will find a bigger self, and the whole world is her stage. When she discovered this, she changed her attitude after serious thinking, and after earnestly devoted herself to the role of Princess of Monaco, she discovered that this role is more challenging than all Hollywood roles, and the stage is the entire kingdom. And even the world. There are many people in life, and there are many problems. But probably can’t adapt to the role

    Not too impressed. Play your role well, sometimes it is really necessary, but it is too much to block your life.

    Nicole alone decides the course of the game. But it's really mediocre in a game with no opponents like this.
