Well, let's just treat this movie purely as a palace fight drama. In fact, there is no other meaning, the story is just such a story, please be kind. Tonight, we only talk about love, not money.

In a sense, emotions or emotions are opposed to rational tools in the real world, such as philosophy, truth, ethics, order, politics, and economics. And sometimes, when the latter cannot give a reasonable explanation for what happened, the former can open up the barrier.

Tonight, let's dissect emotion with reason. Let's see what the core three people's favorites are, and what they each have and ask for.

Sarah - Country. "You don't know what I will do for this country", it should be a lesbian, at least to a large extent, she has deep feelings for Ann, as can be seen from the various entanglements in the process of writing letters, while she treats her husband relatively calmly , and even expressed that he could accept the result of his death in battle (the sorrow of the same husband, the fog). I don't want to worry about whether she is full of patriotism or lust for power. In short, this is what she thinks is the most correct and has the highest priority.

Aibigail - myself. "Only stand on my side", the experience of falling into a servant in the family makes her eager to climb back to her own class, and in order to win, she does not hesitate to despise herself, use any means, and even hurt others. In comparison, her goal was the most specific, practical and easiest to achieve, and it was indeed basically achieved within a certain time frame.

Everyone I'm targeting has to die

Ann - Satisfaction with oneself (human desire). As a queen, she has many resources to give to others, and her desire to be satisfied is just as strong. This is only natural, but because the sons died early, suffered from illness, the emotions and thinking were eroded, and life and governance were chaotic and difficult, all of which made the matter of being satisfied like a painkiller, and it needs to be ensured Continue and strengthen. And Sarah should be her first choice, but unfortunately Sarah's ambition is not here, and Aibigail can play a substitute role to a large extent, and at the same time can stimulate Sarah's jealousy, so all this happened later.

Domineering queen, (old) godmother

It can be said that Queen Ann is playing a love game wholeheartedly, and Sarah embodies power and love, while Aibigail is purely for profit. So Sarah said to Aibigail "We are playing very different games", indeed.

Even if it looks similar, the actual situation is far from the truth, one of the counter-examples of Nuanced debate.

When the Queen finally wakes up and realizes Aibigail's true intentions, the two of them have actually lost their favorites at the same time, and Sarah's pursuit has long been lost. Even under the extremely small scope and extremely limited index evaluation, positive entropy is still the unbreakable truth of the universe. What, going back to philosophy? Not anymore.

Talk about a few actresses. Rachel Weisz's face is really flawless, and her performance is quite satisfactory. Olivia Colman was very well received this time, and she also won several awards such as Venice and the Golden Globe, which is really good. And what surprised me the most was Emma Stone, who showed the ability to play a deep, complex character, coupled with her already expressive looks, you can imagine the explosive power.

Is this movie called "The Favourite" good? Okay. But for Chinese audiences who have been baptized by various palace fighting dramas, it is too childish. If the originator of Gong Dou "Desire of the Golden Branch" is still striving to maintain the balance between the mediocre and good customs of normal people and the life and death of the emperor's family, and even slightly extends the small truth of the big era, later including "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" The inner copy cat is afraid that it will not be exciting enough, and it will be completely reduced to nipple fun.

So, what are the strengths of the characters and stories presented in this film compared to the hard-working extra-curricular life of Chinese court women in ancient China? depth and complexity. It is said that art comes from life and is higher than life. If the reflection presented by art is only at this level - then I am very worried about life.
