Movies are far less engaging than biographies

personal opinion.

The picture of the movie is beautiful, but the plot is thin, like a plain running account, and it has taken Victoria's love and career so lightly.

Victoria's career is unparalleled in British history. Victoria's love is happy and fulfilling. However, such a remarkable achievement, such a rare and perfect political marriage, uses a style similar to "Becoming Jane Austen". Although moving, it still can't cover up the shortcomings that can't touch the heart and are bland. Without seeing Victoria's biography, I don't think the film tells much about the young Queen Victoria.

I read "The Biography of Queen Victoria" when I was very young, and I have always yearned for such a woman in my heart. Although I love Elizabeth I the most, in comparison, Victoria's life is much more complete and perfect. She is the longest reigning monarch in British history, and her reign was the most powerful "Empire on which the sun never sets" period. Her love was enviable, and Prince Albert had been in love with her throughout his life, supporting her career until the end of his life.

I was deeply moved by the love between Victoria and Albert. Behind the successful Victoria, there was Albert who silently supported her. Their combination did not become a victim of politics, but became the most praised royal family in history. couple.

But in the movie, these feats, these touching, just use poetic and beautiful pictures and soft music, plus the biographical text that seems to be swayed directly from Baidu dictionary, which is both literary and not literary, and what looks good is only Fur, completely unimpressed.

These three stars are only for the pictures and music. I don't like the actors, I don't like the plot arrangement, and I don't like the words at the end of the film. If you like to use words, why not just use novels, and why do you want to make movies?

Disappointed. Definitely not going to watch it a second time so as not to spoil the Victoria in me.

    "Find out all the rules, until you are stronger than them" is a British royal movie every year. It can't get out of the routine of the queen's rule and encounters stumbling, but the story feels like those gorgeous costumes and cozy beauty, which is still pleasing to the eye. , Has not diminished.
