This is a film with a strong feminist color. The script is co-produced by a female writer, a male screenwriter and AR.
Although the story takes place in the 17th century, it is also established in the modern era
It describes the preciousness and possibility of women's independence in a patriarchal society
What a perfect combination of spiritual equality and mutual respect between the sexes can create
In a materialistic era, when people are obsessed with status and money, their desire for indulgence is becoming more and more confused and frustrated.
Perhaps, the pursuit of loyalty to each other-self-denial, and having a long-term stable spiritual partner is the right path to happiness
The description of the flowers in the film is graceful and aging, revealing the respect and appreciation of women.
The open-minded attitude towards reincarnation of life and death is like appeasing those who have lost their love
In my heart, I always feel that this is a love letter from Alan to Rima.
Perhaps it is an end to the love and faith he has practiced throughout his life.
I wonder if my fan filter is too thick?
No matter, anyway, I want to love him forever.
In fact, I couldn't help but complain when I first brushed it. Obviously it is a love story, but the protagonist is a widow and a married middle-aged man. The love scene is a construction site and under the eyes of everyone. From start to finish, the number of times the two people get along alone is counted with one hand. There were no sparks splattering, no deer bumping, just a few reserved and restrained eyes, and you wouldn't know where the line of emotion was pushed if you didn't look carefully. But somehow I just want to brush it twice.
The story is divided into two lines, one career line and the other emotional line. The career line should express equal rights for men and women. In the ancient patriarchal society, it was obviously not easy for women to preside over the garden design work. In particular, as a designer, he has to work part-time as a craftsman, personally cutting firewood and stepping on muddy water. Not to mention the hard work, but also the male counterparts squeeze and tease, but as the heroine Kate apt like a well-trained plant, the tough core is very similar to the male owner. The male protagonist is a royal gardener. In the professional world, he is well-deserved King, but in the eyes of the nobles, he is nothing more than a gardener. His wife even attributed his achievements and fame to the influence of the big men she made in the palace. , Dismissive of her husband's talent itself.
As a colleague, Kate has always admired the master's work, but she didn't expect that the master would be more terrible than ten Snapes combined. When we first met, she sprayed her into doubting life in three minutes. However, what is valuable is that although the male protagonist holds the resources and the right to speak, she is still her male god, she still took the courage to express her position: the design needs innovation, and the drawings that are relegated to "chaos" by the master are not disorderly. After careful consideration that night, the protagonist gave Kate the task of building the open-air stage of the Palace of Versailles. The reason is that these gardens should be large enough to embrace vioces other than my own. Facing the king’s questioning, he also resisted the pressure and told the boss Trust is all we can give to those who reach into the new, which means "I am fully responsible for things that go wrong", and he is also a courageous and responsible hero.
The next day Kate found the male protagonist and proposed a solution to the water circulation system in the small garden, and both of them were very happy. At this time, I haven't seen what the male protagonist thinks about her, but the wife who witnessed Kate's beauty immediately jumped out to declare sovereignty and warned the male protagonist not to mess around. The male protagonist is perfunctory.
Then the two met in the Louvre, the male protagonist's eyes began to look at her with a trace of trance and surprise: You are here (super implicit expression, okay). The king’s brother asked how he felt about her, and he said she was funny and very smart (in the field of work).
The second time I pushed the relationship line was on an outing with the court nobles. The two were alone again, chatting about each other's marriage, and realizing that the male protagonist and his wife looked close together.
When passing by the "Holy Land", staring at each other through the wishing tree. . . . Although it was interrupted in less than three seconds (I didn’t leave an impression when I was almost swiping)
The next day he had nothing to do and went to the construction site to see her. The two chatted and Kate suddenly took his hand when the main man left. . . One second (It turns out that the emotional line is really not my illusion)
Afterwards, Kate ran into Louis XIV in the garden. Interestingly, the king confided his troubles to Kate: the lover was a commoner, he could not marry her due to his identity, and Kate replied, is it necessary for everyone to know about marriage? What about the private wedding of the husband and wife? Who will come out to blame? People who talk a lot afterwards will only look stupid (Alan and Rima were married in such a low-key way too!) The lover here refers to Marquise de Maintenon, the spiritual partner of Louis XIV. They later married secretly, and she became the uncrowned in France. The queen, accompanied him through the remaining thirty years, after which it is said that Louis XIV had no mistresses. The story of these two people is also worth seeing.
Here the male protagonist got an invitation to go to Fontainebleau. Because his best friend (the king’s former mistress) had fallen out of favor with the king, without arrogant capital, he was about to be squeezed out of the court circle. Begged the hero to take her with him. The protagonist politely and coldly helped her review how she had made her lovers run on the prairie above him for many years, and returned her original words that humiliated him. Ask her to play and leave. Stop.
The stupid wife was stimulated, and immediately came to assist the two of the relationship progress bar. Not only ran up to Kate to admit that her husband had been tempted by someone recently, but also provoked that his love was just a whim. Then he flooded the construction site and lost his gloves on the scene as evidence. So that night it rained heavily, and the hero succeeded in saving the beauty from the water.
The next morning, when faced with a messy construction site, Kate said desperately, What should I do?
He said, Apt.
Like a well-trained plant?
Like a well-trained plant.
Wow, this analogy really fits them both.
Taking advantage of the right atmosphere, Kate launched a soul torture to the male protagonist:
Am I part of an amusement for you?
Not at all.
.......
If you are hungry, I'll feed you.
If I am mad, you will tell me.
You are not mad.
Are you hungry?
Starving.
........
As a result, the two of them did not sleep well that night.
Early in the morning, the male protagonist took the lost gloves and went back to a showdown with his wife: I'm sorry for it.
It was ironic enough. Although she had hurt him deeply for many years, he didn't hate her and even sympathized with her.
The opposite of love is not hate, but not caring.
In the Palace of Fontainebleau, Kate was drawn into the circle of court ladies
They were there talking about their lost children, their sorrows and misses, all those topics that could not be discussed publicly in the court.
Here the king’s former mistress is also a legend
It is said that she is beautiful and charming, very good at communication, and she is the first of the noble ladies in the court.
He gave birth to seven children for Louis, and his position was replaced by Marquise de Maintenon after the slack of Ai Chi
The latter was the tutor and caregiver she hired for her children
She also has many terrible legends that have been passed down to the world, such as giving the king potions made from dead babies to ensure that she is loved.
But there is no proof, at least the king has not condemned her
Maybe those rumors are just the result of people pushing down the wall
The most moving passage of the film is the one in which Kate defends Rose in front of the king:
All roses are open to the elements.
They bud, bloom and fade.
The rose grows entirely unaware, changing naturally from one state to another
And although the elements may treat her cruelly
she knows nothing of it and continues to her end without judgment on her beauty.
If such a rose could speak, what would she say?
Yes, I am here. And gave service under nature's eye.
And after me, my children will be.
Is there any greater contribution or more graceful end?
And what protection can the gardener afford this rose from the harsh elements of change?
Patience, care, and a little warmth from the sun are our best hope.
Kate's witty remarks and her courage won the king's respect. There were countless mistresses and illegitimate children in the first half of Louis XIV's life, but in the second half of his life, he chose a woman who was not famous for beauty, was born humble, pious and simple, gentle and intelligent, and was 3 years older than him. The history and story overlap here, and they are cleverly rounded. stand up.
Oh, by the way, they won the heart of the hero. The two of them are finally together. It's like that. It seems that the British stories are not very good at spreading emotional stalks. It is too subtle.
