As a country with a very short history, the United States has two characteristics in making historical dramas
First, the background is shallow; second, it contains American values.
There are also two major characteristics of the British filming of foreign historical dramas
First, it is life-threatening; second, the British system covers everything.
It is hard to say whether this drama is American or British. Most of the actors are British, and the distribution platform is the United States.
But the faults on both sides are a culmination!
I have seen the British drama version of Ekaterina the Great, the 70-year-old woman forcibly pretended to be tender, even if she played the role of the actress, it could not change the awkward feeling, especially the part with her lover. The degree of disgust is second only to Carina Lau in the fourth Di Renjie is seduced in the Great Heavenly King.
And the Hulu version is not even as good as the British version in terms of acting skills (the British version is Helen Mirren, Oscar winner, and Cannes double). In other places, it was crushed by the Russian version.
1. At the most basic level of service and transformation. The costumes are completely different from Russia. If I wear an evening dress at the wedding banquet, I will be a small family without money to prepare (the British version is better than him in terms of exquisite clothing, and the Russian version has a very high degree of restoration). I've complained before that the British version of Ekaterina's lunch with a small table for four has made people laugh out loud, and the Hulu version of the wedding banquet is rougher than the Viking marriage is more lively than them. Dim lights, dirty clothes, dim jewelry. You must know that Russia is a European power in the original play, but the performance in the play is not as good as that of European landlords (the dining environment in Tangjiatun beats them)
Of course it is understandable to speak English, but why the princess married from Prussia, Germany, did not use German or Russian when writing her wedding plan, but instead used English, it can only be said to serve the audience
Of course, in a society where the world is so egalitarian, it is inevitable that black and Indian actors will appear in Russian stories. To be honest, the first time I saw an Indian actor playing an important role in the Russian court, it was a play
PS: Little knowledge, there were black aristocrats in the Russian court in ancient times, this one really does. There were also black people during the Warring States Period in Japan~
2. In terms of plot: The combination of brainless black and indifferent is really terrible.
First of all, history teachers all died at the hands of screenwriters. For example, when Ekaterina married, Peter III was still under the management of Elizabeth I, and in the TV series, this famous female tsar in history disappeared— —Ekaterina's mother-in-law was very important in her early ordeal. In addition, when Peter III got married, he was not a tsar, but a grand duke, so the plots of the later show of force did not exist at all. At this time, he was still a poor little man under the strict supervision of Elizabeth I.
Secondly, it's quite right that Yekaterina is not liked by her husband. She sent a little star to the screenwriter~ However, the two have been married for five years without sex... In the history books, this incident alarmed the mother-in-law. After all, the royal family has no sex. Heirs are a big deal. The female official's explanation to the tsar's questioning was: There are "reasons" for pregnancy and childbirth, but there has been no "reason" between the crown prince and Ekaterina, and she has no way... But in the TV series, not only did they have sex that night, but they also rewritten that Peter III was an early boy, um, the daily black hair in Europe and the United States.
Immediately afterwards, the plot began to nonsense. Although Peter III was a stupid X in history and did a lot of absurd things, in the screenwriter's pen, it was more like an ape-turned-human. On the wedding night, I gave my wife a pet bear - black hair again every day - then I shot the bear in front of my wife and then my wife slapped the king of a country in front of everyone, you think this is the real person from Beverly Manor What about the show? !
In order to show the czar's stupidity, he made him spit out dirty words, kill people everywhere, put his wife in a box and throw it into the water.
Here are a few highlights:
I chose a lover for my wife (Peter III did the same thing in history, but he didn't take the initiative to look for it). Specially asked for "inspection" in advance.
After winning a war with a foreign country, look down the enemy's head and put it on the dessert plate: let them watch us eat dessert. Then the eyeballs were buttoned down - a close-up was given in the play
As for the heroine: the usual routine, the silly white sweet beauty gradually becomes the embodiment of justice for love and beauty
Wasn't it just because of the following sentence that Peter III was hacked like that?
One of the most efficient episodes in my opinion: After the king chops off the heads of his Christian enemies, the queen wants to bury them
Please note that this sentence is addressed to the Orthodox priest, who is in a trance.
Well, overall, there are three things I am not satisfied with about this show.
The plot is a mess, neither historical nor logical.
Second, the service of Taoism is simply the level of the 18th line - the domestic 18th line web drama is still brightly lit.
Third, using Anglo-American values to force the historical dramas of other countries is simply a cultural distortion. How disgusting "Marco Polo" was at the time, this show is on par with him - the production is not as good as Marco Polo
