This isn't a "King's Speech" postquel or a "Dunkirk" prequel -- it's more of a "Downfall of Empire" mirror image. Yes, the situation is different, you try to reverse the characters.
The movie is awesome. When I look at it, I think of "The Destruction of the Empire". It's all about a female secretary watching a big man who is neurotic and roaring but also occasionally kind... Speaking of which, Fatty Qiu's character does not belong to the restrained image of a typical British guy. Another big move of Shenjingbing can only be thought of by the British (of course I still tend to think that the key to your victory in Great Britain lies in the mistakes of the head of state - if you don't win the corrupt country, you will attack the Soviet Union - God bless you and kill me. Pop crying)
Aside from personal grievances, although I hate that Fatty Qiu's dictum "the source of all evil" caused me to take the blame (this can never be forgiven) - people's writing is so much better than that of the head of state. And I admire passion and will to fight passion and will. Of course, will is more than roars, cigars and Jobs-style speeches.
PS Gary Oldman is no longer the handsome cop who listened to Beethoven killing people. Turned into a neurotic fat cigar smoker. Although fat very charismatic. Sang feeling.
PPS King of England is handsome and doesn't stutter at all. Perfect.
