When I first saw the title-"The Queen's Corgi", I even thought it was a documentary, because I had some understanding of the Queen’s obsession with Corgi. It is said that Queen Elizabeth II raised 30 years later. There are many corgis, and there is a special royal chef in Buckingham Palace to cook three meals for the corgis, etc...
If you remember, there was a plot like this in the movie "Commissioner of the Bean": the enemy asked the Queen of England to sign an agreement to transfer British territory. Of course, the Queen would not follow it. So the enemy threatened the queen with Corgi, and sent a soul torture to the queen: "Do you want Britain or Corgi?" Although it was a joke, it was enough to see how much the queen loves Corgi.
Okay, let's go back to the movie! After reading it, I was really pleasantly surprised, because there are actually many stalks specially designed for adults, and to be honest, it is really advanced and very fan-like. For example, there is a tribute to my favorite "Fight Club"!
After I came back, I picked up some of the egg stalks in the movie, which may not be complete, but maybe you will think this movie is really interesting after watching it!
[A tribute to classic film and television works]
1. "There is no fight club here" tribute to the movie "Fight Club"
When Royal Corgi Rex was "schemed" by his companions and fell into the home of stray dogs, Jack, the "prisoner" who was locked up together, introduced the rules of "dog house" to Rex and said: "There is no fight club here." This is consistent with the lines spoken by Brad Pitt in the movie Fight Club.
And even more interesting is that the name of Rex's "prison mate" dog is the same as "Jack" as the hero of "Fight Club".
2. Tribute to Stallone's classic movie "Rock"
In the film, the dogs mentioned the plot of the classic movie "Rocky" when they collectively trained for Rex, and Rex's series of physical training shots are also very similar to the male protagonists in "Rocky" Physical training before the competition. The appearance of the big dog "Kiefer" is also similar to that of the protagonist's dog in "Rocky".
[Interesting Anglo-American Culture Stem]
1. "The story that the Queen of England and Trump have to tell"
In the movie, the “rude” scene of Trump taking a selfie with the Queen as soon as he gets out of the car is impressive. In fact, it also alludes to a wave of real-life relationships between the Queen and Trump. For example, when visiting the United Kingdom, Trump once asked the 93-year-old Queen to wait for nearly 15 minutes in the heat. When meeting with the Queen, he did not bow in accordance with the traditional etiquette, but chose to shake hands directly. When reviewing the honor guard link, he directly "walked in disorder" and stood in front of the queen. The operation of "taking the queen's way, leaving the queen with nowhere to go" caused dissatisfaction among a large number of British people.
2. Trump's classic gestures & self-contained "Trump-style" English
When Trump told the Queen about his request for a "Corgi marriage", the familiar "OK" gesture and the "Trump-like English" like "English Level 4" were exactly the same as Trump in reality. It makes people laugh.
3. The "bearskin hat" of the royal guards
The royal guards wearing tall "bearskin caps" everywhere in the film also attracted the attention of many fans. In fact, French soldiers were the first to wear this kind of hat, but after defeating Napoleon's army at the Battle of Waterloo, British soldiers began to wear bearskin hats to demonstrate their combat capabilities. Since 1815, it has been worn for more than 200 years. Soldiers have to wear this cap weighing one catty when standing guard, no matter how cold or hot it is.
4. The Queen's "Colorful" Hat
The dress of the Queen of England can be described as a fashion icon in the "political circle". In the film, the dress of the queen every time it appears is also created in full integration with reality. You can even find almost the same costume in the news pictures.
In the film, Rex, who is trapped in the home of stray dogs, sees the pink top hat floating outside the window, mistakenly thinking that he is the Queen who has come to "rescue" him. Those who care about international current affairs may know that Queen Elizabeth II of England has an absolute obsession with hats. Whenever you show up in public, you will definitely wear a hat. It is said that the Queen of England has more than 5,000 hats in her collection, which is probably the woman with the most hats in the world.
5. Peripheral products of Royal Corgi
As everyone knows, Elizabeth II, the "world famous dog lover", has been unacceptable since receiving the first corgi of his own at the age of 18, and has raised more than 30 corgis in more than 70 years. The movie also restored the Queen’s affection for Corgi to the extreme: For example, in the film, the queen made mugs, stickers and other peripheral products for the royal chief Corgi Rex, and provided Corgis with The special three meals, taking Corgis to meet foreign guests, etc., reflect the honorable treatment of "Royal Chief Corgi" everywhere. In fact, the Buckingham Palace store has indeed launched a series of corgi products, and there are special chefs who prepare food for corgi. Meeting international leaders with the queen is also one of the duties of the royal chief dog.
6. "Just married" cans behind the wedding car
Many viewers have noticed that at the end of the film, the two newlywed dogs who successfully married monkeys were tied up with a bunch of cans behind the "wedding car" that they rode on their honeymoon. I believe everyone has seen it in many European and American movies. Through such a screen. In fact, this is a kind of custom and culture that originated in the western United States. It is said that in the old days, people who eloped fled in despair. The scoops would be scattered on the ground and clinked, and now people ridiculed this kind of "elopement" scene in a masochistic manner, "took tricks" on newlyweds, until it evolved into American marriage customs. The cost of using pots and pans is higher after all, so easy-pull cans are used instead.
7. St. James's Park
Rex and Charlie escaped from Buckingham Palace, and the "eerie" park that they passed by was actually the famous London St James's Park. The location of the park is just across from Buckingham Palace. It is the most beautiful park in central London overlooking the lake from the bridge of the park. In the film, the "horror goose" that Rex saw in the park is actually a major feature of the park. Ducks of various colors and types can be seen in the park throughout the year, and there are many kinds of protected birds such as swans and pheasants, so the park Also known as the Duck Garden.
