I finally saw the historical blockbuster film of the golden resume of the 17th century made by the Netherlands myself...Although it is very the main theme, it is rare to get rid of the heroic view of history, instead of focusing on the acclaimed heroes, but through the political scenes at home and abroad. The group portraits, families, and people on the site have completed a grand and complete era blueprint of the 17th century, where Holland turned from prosperity to decline.
The story line is complete, and the protagonists are also very good. The admiral's thinking is very lofty, but because of his family and friends, he is not so fake. The conflict between Prime Minister John's skill and strength, William's character and status, his choice as a king and the conflict of conscience, in fact, I don't think William is too black. The destruction of the dam may not have been photographed due to technical reasons, so it is difficult for us foreign viewers to intuitively feel the key role of this decision in turning the tide of the war. In addition, the role of wife is really liked, strong, smart, self-esteem and self-love.
Naval battles are inherently difficult to shoot, and it is also good to use freehand techniques to describe sideways. Although a few battles may look a little tired, the details of each battle are different, such as the communication flag bearer who was sacrificed in the second battle. The children after the last battle are the anchor points that the director finds ways to join in the difficult naval battle. It would be better if we could find a way to explain more clearly the strategy of each war. It is especially regrettable that there is not much description of the Dachatam raid.
The clothes and details are nothing but textbook-like perfection. Even the oil paintings on the hands of passers-by can reveal a bit of meaning. The quality of lighting and photography is really high, and even the maid pouring milk can reproduce the feeling of the Dutch school. The long parallel montage at the end is very good, and the artistic attainments of the Low Countries cannot be underestimated.
Finally, the Anglo-French relationship in the eyes of the Dutch is probably the most lewd I have ever seen (laughs)
