The interesting perspective is also reflected in the shooting technique and the story. I use hand-held shooting extensively in technique, and I am used to watching exquisite drama-style films that reflect the British royal family. Then I watch this film. At first glance, it is rough and gradually has a deep sense of substitution similar to "Destruction of the Empire". What is concerned is the choice that a weak military country has to make before the country is doomed to break the crisis, to defend the glory and bottom line of the nation and the royal family, or to save the people as much as possible at the cost of insulting the country. From the perspective of the king, it must be sufficient. Taking into account the procedural justice of the constitutional monarchy, the pressure and guilt brought by reputation, and the deep sense of powerlessness under the system. As a "main theme" film, it is obviously proud of its own political system, and it is also full of respect for Haakon VII. However, in addition to "the elected king" and "Democracy is Norway", the film does not shy away from showing that the king can only play tricks on his grandchildren. , Helpless faint helplessness. The answer given by the king in the climax of the film is also a comprehensive product of the above background and emotions. This is a unique perspective brought by the Norwegian filmmaker. It is an English-speaking filmmaker who wears the aura of the British Empire and the United States. I am afraid that the arrogance of the so-called "small country" cannot be accurately conveyed. The German diplomat proved by himself how fragile the compassion under a wrong position is. Even if he is sincere, the behavior itself is still hypocritical, but the self-compassion and comfort that cannot escape from sin. Personally, I really like the controversial "Nanjing! Nanjing!" directed by Lu Chuan. However, although the film’s portrayal of Kadokawa tried to give him a "human" side, it failed to portray the German diplomat like in "The King's Choice". Deep and transparent, but frivolous. It's a pity that I don't know much about Norwegian history. The film itself is worth watching. It is said that it is the film with the largest number of viewers in Norwegian history.
