Georgiana, played by Keira Knightly (the heroine of Pride and Prejudice), is at least 20 years apart in age when she is married to Duke, played by Ralph Fiennes.
All Duke wanted was a wife who could give him an heir, and by his own admission he was a man who couldn't express his feelings, and I highly doubt that he had such a thing as love in his sensory nerves.
Georgiana did the utmost to tolerate Duke's cheating, but when she found out that Duke had an affair with her only friend, Lady Bass, she asked the Duke angrily: "Why is it her and not another woman? She is me here. The only thing you have in a marriage, why?" And when Georgiana asked Duke if he wanted to drive lady bass away, the duke's answer was: "it is out of the question (impossible)" Georgiana had nowhere to go, When she appealed to her mother for help, her mother's advice was to go back to her husband and continue to do her duty as a wife. But what I saw in Georgiana's eyes was helpless anger. Regarding the word responsibility, Duke felt that he had fulfilled his husband's responsibilities, and he questioned G: "And you obviously did not fulfill your responsibilities as a wife, and did not give birth to an heir for me."
The most classic scene in the movie is the scene where the duke, Georgiana and lady bass eat together on the same stage. At the beginning, lady bass and G were just pure friends, and the three of them sat on a round table to eat in harmony. Later, after the duke and lady bass had an affair, the three sat at a 5-foot dining table to eat. Duke and G sat at each end and bass sat in the middle like a bond between them. In the beginning, G couldn't tolerate this cramped situation, but later she calmed down. In the end, she didn't have any hope for her husband and put forward the terms of the deal, because all she wanted was pure love. .
In this play, I think G's best role is her role as a mother. In order to pursue her free love, she is ready to give up everything and fly away with her lover gray, but when she sees her three daughters She was shaken and returned to the residence of the Duke of London after a letter written to her out of misses. Facing Gray's begging, she was numb with pain: "My love for you has not changed, but at the same time I am also a mother, I can't leave my children alone, you want me to go with you, you see what you want. What am I doing? Abandoning my child?" Gray could only let go. And when Georgiana handed her and Gray's newborn daughter back to the Gray family, the pain of being separated from her own child and never recognizing it touched me. That is the frustration of being a mother.
I really want to slap the duke as a cruel man, I really want to slap him twice, he keeps saying that he has done his duty as a husband, but when he teaches a lady bass boy how to use a gun Love, but when he saw that G gave birth to a daughter, he left angrily and went to tease his dog after seeing it, so he had ruined the image of a father. The image of his husband and father in G's heart is gradually disintegrating and shattering. Is this what a duke was supposed to do 300 years ago? Just for the sake of being an heir?
I think keira knightly plays a mother very well, it seems like this drama is better than life and death reading aloud, even if some people think it is a bad drama, but it affects my emotions like a millionaire in a slum , it's a really good movie
