The reason for watching this show is very simple, because of the reason for the death of Prince Philip this year, I saw a lot of comments mentioning this show, out of curiosity about the love story of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, so I went to see it specially .
There are a total of 4 seasons, but when I look back now, the most impressive one is still the first season.
As a descendant of a monarch who unexpectedly took over the throne, Elizabeth's life was completely rewritten with the accession of her father, King George VI.
She and her sister Margaret, one only wants to live an ordinary life, but is forced to live under the spotlight; the other likes to be surrounded by people, but can only submit to the king's power and cannot control his own destiny .
From a girl who was not very good from childhood to growing into a mature and assertive queen, every step Elizabeth takes is full of storytelling.
Sometimes we have to be thankful for the difficulties that shape you.
I have to say that the biggest difficulty for Elizabeth in the first season is how to face such a formidable opponent as Churchill, or a partner.
Interestingly, as members of the royal family, the education they receive is not the same as that of ordinary people. They don't need the scientific knowledge that ordinary people need to learn. Except for noble etiquette and some social hobbies, what they learn most is the constitution and some governing knowledge, such as the mutual restriction and trust between the imperial power and the government.
This made Elizabeth feel apprehensive at first when confronting Churchill and some other politicians. Because she often doesn't understand, can't ask questions, and can't make judgments, and the situation is very passive. She even invited a teacher to give her a "private lesson" because of this.
But when Churchill was obsessed with power and concealed his illness even as his body was gradually overwhelmed, Elizabeth realized what the most important duty was for a monarch.
She took out the constitution she had memorized since she was a child, and severely reprimanded Churchill with the above regulations. Even if the man opposite was a great man who led Britain to create great glory, as long as his actions endangered the security of the country, she would have duty to correct it.
From that moment on, the queen officially became the queen.
For Churchill's curtain call, she also completed it very beautifully. It can be said that without such a powerful threat as Churchill, she would not have grown so fast, and it was in the contest with him that the Queen completed her first gorgeous transformation.
Therefore, we should be grateful for the existence of opponents in life, because a good opponent will only make you stronger!
That's the biggest revelation to me from the first season of The Crown.
As for the love story about the queen and her husband that I was most looking forward to at the beginning, I can only say that a good opponent can make you stronger, and an immature object can only make you learn to be strong.
Whatever the reason.
PS: George VI is really a good father.
I've only seen one movie about him before, and it was "The King's Speech" ten years ago. At that time, he was short-tempered and suffered from stuttering. He finally overcame the difficulties and finally succeeded in giving a speech in front of the crowd.
Time flies to "The Crown", and what I see is a father who knows that his time is short, trying his best to plan everything for the sake of his daughter's future life. In particular, when he knew that his son-in-law Philip might not be able to adapt to the upcoming new identity, he specially invited Philip to go hunting, the scene on the boat. ▼
