Just to see a great actor born

The long-awaited "Mrs. Hamilton", two backgrounds determine the level of the film: it was shot in the middle of World War II, and it is intended to be a "film that can inspire the fighting spirit of the British people"; the hero and heroine Vivien Leigh and Lawrence Oliver are also like the protagonists of the film. Nelson and Emma are generally involved in extramarital affairs.
Therefore, according to today's judgment, the film can be described as a main theme film with a split level: whenever it involves national affairs, it is an empty and dry slogan, even if it is performed by a showman like Lawrence, it is extremely boring; In the love-hate affair, I saw the classic British performances, especially Vivien Leigh, who mixed the extreme of holiness and coquettishness in her gestures, and the charm filled every picture; while Lawrence lost the script's positioning for Nelson's high school Restrictions, the performance is relatively inferior, but he must have been completely willing to serve as a foil for Vivien Leigh at that time.
The film also has another translation titled "Peerless Beauty", which I think is to catch up with "Gone with the Wind" after Vivien Leigh. But the artistic level of the two is completely incomparable: watching "Gone with the Wind", you see a great movie, and watching "Mrs. Hamilton", you see just a great actor.

That Hamilton Woman quotes

  • Lord Horatio Nelson: My dear wife

    [Emma repeats 'my dear wife' and continues to scribe the letter for Lord Nelson]

    Lord Horatio Nelson: My heartiest greetings from Naples to you and father. I'm in the house of the Hamiltons, and it has taken all their care and kindness to pull me through. I hope someday to have the pleasure of introducing you to Lady Hamilton. Lady Hamilton is one of the very best women in the world and an honor to her sex.

    [Emma looks subtly surprised]

  • Sir William Hamilton: You know Emma, there are three kinds of deceived husbands in the world: first are those who were born to be decieved, second who do not know, and third who do not care. I've been wondering for some time now which of the three I'd be myself.

    Emma: Have you forgotten the fourth kind William? The kind that is hard, and empty, and gives nothing. You married me because you wanted a new ornament for your house -

    [motions to each]

    Emma: like that painting, or that statue, or that vase. As far as you're concerned I'm just as ornamental, and just as dead.

    Sir William Hamilton: But my dear, how can you call my statues dead? When I'm alone and rather tired, think what it means to me to have my statues with me. To know that they'll always be lovely, will never grow old, and never walk out with sailors. What a pity you're not going to see him again. It would have been a farewell scene of lasting beauty. I shall sleep beautifully tonight.

    [nods]

    Sir William Hamilton: Goodnight my dear.

    [Exits the room]

    Emma: [she says sadly] My darling... come back... come back.

    Mrs. Cadogan-Lyon: [Hushed] Emily, he's waiting for you, out on the balcony.

    [Emma runs gleefully out onto the balcony into Lord Nelson's arms and they passionately kiss]

    Mrs. Cadogan-Lyon: .
