A true picture of the times

I watched this movie because of my admiration for the commander, the general who succeeded by odd schemes, and the taste for European classical taste. Hundreds of giant warships lined up on the sea, displaying the formations and transformations in the long-term view, and displaying the formations in the model. The close-up deck battles show the magnificence of naval battles. Although the freehand drawing of the naval battle is more than the display of the details of the war, the creation of the atmosphere and scene also gives people a shocking impression. The huge sails swelling in the wind, the densely thick ropes, the rotating helmsman, the clicking sound of the huge wood when the hull is turned, the commands from word of mouth, the black cannons that are constantly pushed up and the iron balls that are constantly being stuffed, all It gives people a sense of the times of substitution.

During the great nautical era of the 17th century, the little Netherlands dominated the world because of its powerful fleet and outstanding naval generals. The movie is the story of Druid, one of the outstanding generals. Known as the sea coachman, he defeated the British Royal Fleet many times in the Anglo-Dutch War and became a famous general who the country relied on and made the enemy awe-inspiring. However, the sea breeze will always tend to follow the direction of politics. The ending of the movie dramatizes a tragedy of death, making the story of a generation of generals even more legendary. With the fall of a generation of maritime generals, the glorious era of Dutch maritime epic also comes to an end.

A biography of a character is also the history of an era. It not only contains the political metaphor of the difficulties of the republic at that time and the change of history by the mob, but also shows a glorious Dutch history represented by the admiral. It's like a gift film made by a Dutch man.

The script of the movie has a large frame and thick lines, without luxuriant branches and leaves, with many ups and downs and few details, but the completeness is very good.

The picture, composition, color tone, and clothing are all standardized, well-formed, with few flaws. The more pleasant surprises are the pictures and costumes. The picture is like a reproduction of Dutch plate paintings and oil paintings, and the shapes and costumes are more classical. I especially like the long curly hair, cumbersome and gorgeous clothes, puff sleeves, lace, laces, floor robes, long white socks and small leather shoes, as well as the royal swaying elegance, and the classic elements shine all over the screen.

Whether it is a naval battle or a political situation, the shots are clear and impressive, a true picture of the times.

It is worth mentioning that the admiral’s wife played very well.
