As great as love is, as great as sacrifice.

He gave up the throne, subjects and family for her, and she gave up dignity, fame, privacy and freedom for him. If the occurrence of love depends on opportunity and luck, it has some unspeakable meanings; then its maintenance depends on mutual compromise and sacrifice between the two sides. Only in this way, the bud of love will grow and grow into branches. A towering tree with lush leaves and fruitful fruits.

Of course, these sacrifices are voluntary and spontaneous by both parties. If they are caused by coercion, they will lose the original intention of love.

The love of Windsor in the 1930s and the domestic violence and affair encountered by modern women in the film. These two stories are narrated side by side, with a bit of contrast.

The film contains Madonna's views on ideal love. It tells people that how great love is, and how great the sacrifices in it are!
