The opinions on the ending so far have been --- this is an ambiguous ending, or it is a replica of a Roman holiday. Or to put it bluntly, it is a one-night stand with no ending. Of course, there are still many people who hope that the two will be together in the future, or even entangled in the line for 18 months. By this I just want to express my own point of view: the above speculation is not correct and contradicts the film.
My point is: They are together, this is a happy comedy ending, but a lot of smoke is set up for everyone, so that everyone is confused and guessed. The director did not expect the audience’s IQ to be too low. It is estimated that there will be tears, and the audience may say that the director is too mysterious.
The following is my basis: the
morning after the two people finally opened up together, the Grand Duke was in a very good mood and made a lot of abnormal behaviors, but the heroine was hurt because the parting was imminent. Afterwards, you can see that the Grand Duke carefully ordered the diplomats to do several things: get a passport for Marina, prepare a train car specially for her, and buy her clothes. He said: do whatever she wants. And note that before he explained it was "completed after we leave." Be sure to pay attention to this sentence: "After leaving."
Next, we can see the Grand Duke and the heroine saying good morning together. Before the diplomat said things like applying for a passport, the Grand Duke immediately stopped him and said it was a surprise. There are two points to note here. One: The diplomat said in the next few days. (Pay attention to the time, what the Duke said is consistent after he left, which means that the heroine will not leave with them.) Second: The Duke said this is a surprise. This is also a key sentence in the ending of the film. If you ignore this sentence, you will have doubts about the entire ending.
Then when he was alone with the heroine, he said that he likes to surprise people like a child, that is, he is joking, and he is not tired of it. This also paved the way for him to make jokes about the heroine.
Then the following content is completely the director's smoke bomb, everyone will follow the plot to see the hero and the hero parting in sorrow, and even give the heroine a parting gift. The female protagonist’s expression is particularly sad (that’s because she thought she really parted). It’s important to emphasize that Lawrence’s acting skills are really great, and the expression is quite well done: pretending to be parting sadness, but actually doing a good job of surprise to the female lead, That is to say, there is still a little bit of joy in my heart, which is why until the end everyone only saw the heroine reluctantly shouting the hero three times, but the hero did not express anything, the sad expression on his face is very subtle, at first glance When I look at it, I think it’s a sad expression, but when I look closely, I think it’s a joking expression in fashion.
There are two important reasons for this explanation: First, if it were not for this kind of ending, the front and back would be very contradictory. The diplomat was asked to prepare this and that one second. Why did he change his mind and break up with the heroine in the next second? Woolen cloth? It doesn't make sense at all, it's weird, isn't it? ? ?
Secondly, at the end, the queen mother walked in and said a series of suggestions about dressing, which was clearly a pavement for buying clothes as the hostess wishes.
One last small addition, the Queen Mother doesn’t take the Duke’s preference for such a woman seriously. In other words, it’s not a problem for the Duke to want a lover, and the lover also wants to follow him, then you Have you ever seen a man who can't do what he wants without any obstruction at all. Of course, this supplement cannot be included in the logical reasoning of the film itself.
Therefore, according to the above, only this kind of explanation is: the grandpa made a joke with the heroine, and the two people are happily together. This ending is logical. The reason why the director did not follow the common sense is probably because the director himself felt very tired of the too straightforward and happy ending. The film itself was frivolous and joyous from the beginning. Wouldn't it be a vain audience if it continued to be like this until the end. After watching it, you will forget that the pride of being a director will not allow this lack of level. So the director has adopted a roundabout way-I don't tell you the ending directly. If you guess, no matter how happy you are, the director also has to surprise the audience!
If arranged in this way, everyone will feel like a head blow, wondering and then thinking. This will deepen the film’s level and make the audience remember the film. After all, this clever ending is not all frivolous. All of the great joy videos are made.
It's a pity that even though the audience at that time didn't know whether it was ending or not, at least the audience in this era can't figure it out and even feel sad. It is estimated that the director will burst into tears if he knows it.
