Lost to the Last Emperor at Oscar? ? ?

I think the British did not deliberately want this film: "Let the whole world understand and fall in love with Britain." Out of the arrogant self-confidence of the empire on which the sun never sets, he thinks that his common sense should be clear to the whole world. Of course, if they are not clear, they are too arrogant to explain.
The title comes from the UK's second national anthem, "land of hope and glory," and often comes with BGM as Churchill's appearance. The story is very simple, that is, the screenwriter and director wrote the story of his own childhood, not touting or flattering. In the land of their own hope and glory, the British cry for small things and smile for disasters. It can be said: those who do not love Billy do not understand the British.
The opening description of September 3, 1939 reads: "It's great to start the war with such beautiful weather!" Note, I'm using fantasy, fantastic is just as good! I noticed the weather at the beginning of the station, and the whole article discusses family, friendship, love, growth, death, music, education... all kinds of issues are discussed, showing the wartime state of the entire country. He didn't fight the war well, and deliberately depicted the scenes of the war, but detailed the details of all kinds of gossips in life. The lines actually dare to thank Adolf! It is simply a child's play that is internationally recognized as politically correct. But I made it clear about everything in the war, reflected on everything, and even the beauty of human beings.
An epic and magnificent long shot of nearly a minute from the 46th minute: the postman delivers letters into the slanted red mailbox under the light of the sunset like an oil painting, someone is helping to carry the wounded, the crying old woman, the photo of finding a loved one from the ruins Neighbors, boys lined up to explore the hill-like ruins. The accompaniment is Chopin's prelude op28-4, "Old Fred" played by his mother's hand injured in the explosion (if it's not Chopin, Frederick is reluctant to call it all). The famous poster didn't appear, I know it even as a foreigner, this is the picture version: keep carm and carry on

As a Briton, the attitude to wars such as the death of the mother, the burning of the house, and the war is: even in the face of huge losses, still hate to be the focus of sympathetic attention in the eyes of everyone - from citizens to the country, no matter what, stick to the old school Decent capitalism. This is their glory, their glory. In the face of big things, it is easy to make a big difference in small things. They take the former as a matter of course, and the latter as a matter of responsible insight. The British people's reflection on war and their love for peace did not come by embodying the cruelty of war. They are thinking about the reasons why these wars happened to themselves, and they are deeply concerned with their posture in the face of wars.
Therefore, the British "Glory and Hope" is more clever and subtle than the French "Life is Beautiful", more open and subtle than the German "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", and more fortunate and subtle than the Chinese "Red Star". It's just too subtle - the core theme runs through the yellow roses that recur throughout. This is invisible to those who have no basis in English gardening leisure.

Grandpa's summary
Generally yellow roses are used to represent the flower language of friendship and passion (devotion), and the British believe that they are well-known on the earth: the number one flower in the world is the rose, and the most famous rose is the one they bred in Britain after the end of World War II. "Peace".

The core that is repeatedly implied from beginning to end is "peace."
And such an implicit plot is buried in the daily life of firewood, rice, oil, salt and pastoral scenery, naturally, on the surface, it seems too bland and not deep enough. So it's not surprising that a nonsense dark version of a fan movie like losing to the last emperor at the Oscars.
Billy's mother's name is Grace, and her sisters are Mercy, Faith, Hope. My grandfather said it was my grandmother who said he lacked qualities. And what does a grandfather have four daughters for? String Quartet! This is British humor to blacken itself, and it is also a euphemism to say that the four qualities that the British have pursued in their lives have been sublimated into art together.

Although I am Chinese, I still have to say that in terms of aesthetics and realm, Americans are really far behind the United Kingdom.
