·What is more valuable is the shaping of the character of Rasputin, which is indeed so Russian. "I want to serve the tsars and queens, I want peace, I want food for the tenants everywhere, I want the girls you see, and all the girls I haven't seen, I want to sleep, unless I'm drunk I want to die and go to heaven, I want music, I want God to love me, and I want you to dance!" - how well-written this line is. The casting is also good. When the actor first appeared on the stage, he knelt on the ground and raised his head, revealing his blue eyes, which is indeed a bit mysterious and intimidating.
The downfall of any monarchy is an excellent tragedy. An entire nation blindly entrusts their destiny to a stranger (actually, to a collective imagination) that they don't know, and this stranger - in itself nothing extraordinary - is also This kind of blind love is dizzying, and when it really plays the imaginary god, the result is often a failure, and the most blind love turns into the most intense hatred. Among them, the dynasties that fell in the 19th century have a special ironic beauty - they have already stepped into the grave, but they have also been dragged out in the frenzy of nationalism, and they have the power to condense this new and powerful force. Passionate totem. In this play, the scene where Nikolai bid farewell to the Russian soldiers and rushed to the battlefield of World War I, and the scene where "God Bless the Emperor Franz" resounded on the long street in "Soul Break Meyerlin" is saturated with this irony and makes me Can't help but laugh at the scene.
· The second half is better than the first half, and even Nikolai's actors become more similar in the second half. As for the actor Alexandra, I have never been able to connect her to the queen in the photo - but it doesn't matter, my knowledge of this character is limited to the photo anyway.
·Whenever I think it is too poetic, I think that it was shot by the British, and I still feel very sincere.
·Although this is exactly the type of poetic, I still love the character of Prince Alexey. Especially at the end of the film, the soul of this sickly teenager has become far more cold, realistic and old than everyone - even his father. Kerensky is also a good character, I don't know how well he fits into its archetype, but it's deep enough even given the premise of being fictional.
The interaction of the princesses with the guards - who don't complain about the imprisonment, never seem to worry about the cloud of death, and simply lament the waste of time - is really interesting.
And... I love the last shot: the executioner raises his gun, Nikolay puts his hand over Alexey's face, then the gun goes off, and I can clearly see the bullet go through his hand... ...then everything is drowned in tender and pitiful blood.
