On a business trip, I couldn't sleep, I turned on the hotel TV, and accidentally saw this movie, watching it while drinking my daughter Hong, which I bought from the street during the day. The tone of the film is warm and beautiful, and even the international political conflict is gentle. Rather than conveying the legend of Monaco and its princess, it is describing a woman's upbringing.
Before becoming a princess, the princess was an excellent film actress. However, when she took the film actress as a profession, she was strongly opposed by her father, the first male role in her life. Even when she won the Oscar, she did not receive a word of affirmation from her father, let alone an award. After the princess became a princess, she encountered the second important male role in her life—the indifference and power control of her husband (Prince of Monaco). Although her husband allowed her to do what she liked, when she really did it, she was severely hindered. In the first half of her life, the two important male characters had a strong and unpleasant image of looking down, which directly led her to form a character that was pleasing and eager to be affirmed. However, this kind of kneeling to please others also collides with the free and independent soul in the depths of my heart. Therefore, when I received an invitation from the director 6 years after marriage, I was so entangled. On the one hand, I was delighted, and on the other hand, I had to obey my husband. already. In desperation, she ran barefoot to the priest and asked for advice. After all, the priest was serving the government. Although she was trying to appease her on the surface, she was asked to give up her hobbies and cooperate with her husband. responsibility of his wife.
She was distressed and called her mother in a foreign land, but the distant tone of her mother on the other end of the phone made her even more desperate. Life has given her the best prosperity in the world, and it has also given her the most difficult path to choose. Whether to act from her heart or to fulfill her responsibilities as a princess, she cried and she had no choice. The country is in internal and external troubles, her husband has not talked to her for a long time, and her only concern is her children. While replaying her wedding video, she burst into tears. What is left of the marriage that was originally in the name of love? Do you still love him? Still happy? No answer.
After hanging up her mother's phone, her daughter asked her, "Mum, why are you crying?" Looking at the child's pure face, she could only say that I was crying happily while talking to my mother. Parents can no longer give shelter, and they are the biggest shelter for their children. For the sake of the child, she can no longer simply fantasize about love, fantasizing that someone can give her an environment full of affirmation, love and freedom. In this world, she is the only one to rely on. So she took the initiative to learn the local culture and language, tried her best to integrate into the people, and used all her resources to finally relieve the imprisoned country, becoming a permanent legend and her husband's eye-catching lover again. So, is the love and freedom that exists deep in the heart still there?
I think it is, but women, whether they are princesses or ordinary girls, are accustomed to seeking their own love and freedom from men's speech and behavior, but reality will ruthlessly dispel this path, and they can bear it. Women, after being attacked and recognizing the status quo, become rational, use their wisdom for maneuvering, and reinvent themselves on a stage on an equal footing with men. She is still her, she is no longer her.
At the end of the film, the princess is reading on the balcony, which is in stark contrast to the scene at the beginning—the child is reading on the balcony, and she is busy with the child. She finally mastered the secret of standing independently and proudly in the male society, but she also lost the softness of women in the beginning. But it is to recognize the status quo, and no longer imagine that others will build a comfort zone for themselves. However, put on the crown and earnestly fulfill your social responsibilities. And this responsibility has also wiped out the original agility. She finally grew into an adult and became a legend. However, she is no longer her.
May we, no longer be us, we are still us.
