God save the Queen.

I forgot to brush it several times

In the first episode of the Queen's Wedding, Westminster was full of people. Old Churchill staggered into the main hall, and the choir sang "I vow thee to my country". Needless to say, watching this show with two hungry eyes is definitely a pleasure. , is the double enjoyment of visual aesthetics and historical thinking. All the connections between the royal family and the times are presented through the extremely compact narrative of each episode, and all the grievances and grievances within the royal family are also connected in series through the proper performance of each episode, just like Rembrandt's impasto, Of course it also resembles the frescoes of the early Renaissance, Francesca and Angeleco.

In terms of the texture of the picture and the feeling of the soundtrack, Edward's abdication is worth mentioning. He abdicated in order to marry his lover and gave the throne to his stuttering brother. One day he played the bagpipes alone in the mist of the morning light in London, and his mournful and poignant voice echoed in Buckingham Palace. Is such a person who sacrificed everything for love also a collaborator with the Nazis? Was it also Edward, who wanted to drive away his brother and re-enthrone after Germany occupied his homeland? In the second season, he was full of hope to return to the country, but his own niece, Queen Elizabeth II, who had already ascended the throne at that time, was beaten to the head, hehe! The grievances of the royal family have been interpreted like this.

In the impression of Chinese court dramas, only "The Last Emperor" is comparable. Of course, "The Last Dynasty" and "Crown" are not comparable, but can the British make their own historical traditions? Isn’t the connection between history and reality one of the interests of today’s people when they look at history? I am afraid that our court political drama can only have entertainment slots and star sales. What is this? This is the retribution for ruining the tradition for hundreds of years.
