I can't help but say a few words. Why do so many film critics say that "The Favourite" is a paediatric palace fighting drama? First of all, I don't think it is a palace fighting drama. At the very least, what the movie wants to express most is not fighting. It seems like a love triangle of three women, that Queen Anne, who is not doing her job properly, is moody, and looks like a giant baby, doesn't love Abigail, okay? Abigail is just a scheming bitch who has been devastated and wants to be superior, let alone love or not.
Queen Anne, who has lost 17 children, longs to be loved and spoiled by Sarah like a child. Unable to satisfy her cravings in time, she loses her temper, eats sweets, vomits, and then eats after she vomits. To be honest, seeing her like this makes me want to hit her. But, but what I am very envious of this giant baby is Sarah's true love for her. Although Sarah made it clear that there are limits to love, there are limits to what a person can give to others.
There are a few scenes that I can't forget after watching it:
1. When Sarah saw Abigail lying on Annie's bed, there were some trembling hands in the candlelight, and her eyes were very lonely.
2. After Sarah was kicked out of the palace, the guard asked her if she was leaving. Her words "Go" were helpless in her determination.
3. Sarah rushed into Annie's bedroom, forced Annie to the side of the bed, and picked up her collar, too domineering.
4. Sarah wrote to Annie, threw it, threw it and wrote it again, starting with: You, bitch, or: I want to poke your eyes out in my dreams
5. Abigail intercepted Sarah's letter to Anne, and after reading it, she threw it in the fireplace and burned it, followed by her rolling tears. I started to wonder why she was crying? It was only later that she realized that she had read Sarah's letter to Annie, and there was love between the lines, and that was something she had never received in her life, even though she seemed to have succeeded in the upper ranks.
6. Several fretful scenes where Annie waits for Sarah's letter. I look a little sadistic, and the feeling of being so anxious because of that kind of waiting is really...
Many people may think that this "The Favourite" is Sarah and Abigail competing for Queen Anne's favor. I think about it carefully, in fact, the darling should refer to Queen Anne herself, who really longs to be spoiled, and she is the person who is a darling.
The movie has a label that is gay. Frankly speaking, when I watched the movie, I basically didn't notice its label. All I saw was wanting to love and be loved, regardless of gender.
What I want to say in particular is that after watching "The Favourite", I further realized that indulging in unforgettable feelings is sometimes beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people fly. But more often, it is torture. In the process of falling in love and killing each other, in the midst of various gains and losses, in various uncertainties and dissatisfaction, it will make people feel lonely and sad and helpless. Don't touch love lightly.
Also, I like Sarah a lot, and I like her composure, especially in her last scene, standing with a teacup in front of the castle window, looking out the window at the men who drove her away, saying, "I suddenly feel tired of it. England, my dear, maybe we should go somewhere else." The soundtrack is also great~
