WE's story is about Wallis and Edward. Who these two are depends on how you interpret them. You can say that it is a story of a smart and sexy American woman and a former king who gave up the throne in order to love him. Of course, many people say this: the former is a sociable who has been divorced twice, who is good at using methods, but not beautiful in appearance. The latter is a poor affectionate king who was delayed his life by an unworthy woman. In any case, he gave up the throne for him, at least as announced in his resignation declaration, I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love. Then overnight, he became the love saint of the century, the women he loves became the public enemy of the full name, the beauty of the beauty, the "beauty" who did not love the country and the beauty, the world Then hate her, maybe there is more envy in the hatred.
What is the real history? who knows? The rest of their silent lives after they retired, leaving few traces in history, although the ending of fairy tales is often so simple and beautiful-And then, they live happily ever after. Adults, we all know that. How hard it is.
At this time, the director Madonna raised another issue for us: He gave up the throne for him, so what did she give up from it? Whether this renunciation is worthy of his renunciation, or even surpassed his sacrifice. Hum, I heard a sneer, what sacrifice is like sacrificing the throne of a king.
In the movie Wallis Simpson said: You have no idea how hard it is to live out the greatest love romance of the century. And now I will have to be with him always and always and always. A certain naive and firm temperament that is destined to be irretrievable. The two tear marks featured in the movie also aggravated the mood of depression.
In fact, the plot of this movie is really simple. Even with the addition of the modern female Wally, the main story is the story of W and E. The director inspired us and provided us with some kind of conjecture about the happy life of the prince and princess. Fairy tales and reality are often far apart.
"Happiness without freedom, or freedom without happiness. There was no third alternative." Even if it is not a royal romance, the feelings of ordinary people can not escape the ultimate torture of whether happiness and freedom can have both. Happiness or unhappiness is only self-knowledge after all. Who really cares? What people want is the topic, the ups and downs, not the truth about getting along with each other day in and day out. Wallis Simpson has at least been truly and gorgeously loved, that's enough!
Is this enough?
Such a movie made me infinitely curious about Madonna. The post-80s me, the message she got in the mainstream media since I was a child, is always inseparable from the best-selling, outstanding, and sexy. But this movie is so depressing, so depressed, it makes people sad to cry. She is a woman with such a mind and what kind of story.
And myself, I am so obsessed with this movie, probably because of some kind of fear of suffering from the truth. In the movie, the story of Wally's husband is a gentleman with a high reputation in the medical field, a man who faces his wife who can't give her bed comfort, and a husband who doesn't know his wife well and finally treats each other violently. The two sides of the coin, each time, there is only one side up. Who knows the other side of the story.
Look, I am not a feminist, and I am not just fighting injustices for Mrs. Simpson. I sigh for all the secrets in this world that cannot be revealed, I can do nothing, but I am sure of their existence, just as I am convinced of the multi-faceted nature of human nature.
In life, we gradually learn to be silent, and gradually get used to not explaining, because how should we explain things in the world?
The PS soundtrack is really nice, it's looped too many times.
