This is a biographical film with Queen Elizabeth II as the central character. The film revolves around the relationship between the Queen and Prime Minister Tony Blair, and runs through the entire story with the death of Princess Diana as the main line to show the British royal family, the government, and the people. The masses, and the delicate relationship with this era. Among them, the image of the queen makes people think a lot.
This is a representative of the British royal family who grew up in the war years. He abides by the rules and precepts given by the education of the royal family and aristocrats for hundreds of years, and strictly requires his words and deeds based on this criterion. She cares about the tradition and dignity of the British royal family, and the symbolic power of the royal family and nobles in the whole country. On the one hand, this is what she has to do as a member of the royal family, and on the other hand, this way of life and thinking has been ingrained in her and has become a belief she has embraced and revered throughout her life. Born as a modern ordinary public, perhaps we should criticize the dogma and oppression that this rigidity and unfreedom brought to the entire royal family and even the entire society from the perspective of the public. , the changing royal family of the whole world, from the queen's speech, behavior and appearance, I see a kind of decent and atmosphere, rules and models. In a country, especially a country with a strong tradition and history like the United Kingdom, it is necessary and necessary to have a model of the royal family and the upper class. In such a society, it is enough to have the prime minister selected by the people as the representative of the people, and the royal family, which comes down to the representative of the royal family - the queen, this image and the representative of a certain belief cannot be replaced and discarded. .
We've seen a lot of conflicting focus on whether to hold a royal funeral for Princess Diana. The struggle between the power of the royal family and the power of the prime minister of the government, the image conflict between the queen of the royal family and the princess of the people, and the gap between the attitude of the royal family to the people and the expectations of the people to the royal family are all shown in the film. Amid these contradictions, we see a queen who is thinking and transitioning, especially in comparison to the rest of the royal family. Although as a member of the royal family, she did not completely put herself above the people and the whole country, but from the heart wanted to contribute everything to the glory of the whole of Britain and the people. During the war years, she broadcast propaganda through radio. Inspiring the hearts of the people, the war was won, and she took to the streets with the people to cheer and cheer. Perhaps, in the Queen's mind, there will always be hopes and nostalgia for that innocent and beautiful era, and there are also some unrealistic fantasies, fantasies After several generations of people's changes, the British people will still have infinite respect and love for the royal family and the queen as they did during World War II. However, with the passage of time, the world is changing, the times are changing, the British people are changing, and the only one who abides by the same is the British royal family, which will inevitably be questioned by the entire world of great changes. The people doubt whether such a high-ranking royal family is still worthy of their respect, and they may begin to consider whether to replace it. of cathartic nostalgia and resistance to the British royal family. The Queen is also questioning how she can maintain the traditions of the British royal family and eliminate the estrangement with the people, standing in such a turbulent position and in such a turbulent era. She is not disdainful of the people, her heart is a heart that will always beat for Britain, however, has gone through generations and abides by the same heart. Because it beats, it moves, and because it doesn't change, it gets farther and farther from the people.
The queen is an individual and a woman. No matter how exalted she was in the whole country and how important she was in the world, she was still a person, a woman. This may show some difference between monarchy and democracy, because monarchy will infinitely magnify a certain individual. When magnifying the advantages, it is the infinite respect and religious fanaticism of the people, and it will be the entire royal family. The glory, however, once it is the shortcomings that are constantly magnified, such repression and rejection will be borne by the queen alone. As a woman, she cannot show the same strength and deterrence as a man, he cannot overwhelm everything with violence and strength, she can only choose a gradual, or weak force against a certain opposition, and more When it is time to submit and endure. She could only stand on the royal hunting ground, and quietly shed a few tears that could not be seen by others when she was lonely. This is not the grief of the royal family and the nation, but the grief of a lonely individual as a queen, a person with a special status.
However, in the whole film, whether it is the dignified etiquette of the meeting of the new prime minister, the helplessness and contradiction in the struggle of the royal family, or the pretended nature of finally surrendering and changing, all we know is that of a complete person. image. A member of the royal family with a good royal upbringing, a queen who loves this country deeply, a woman who is alone but carries a heavy burden on her shoulders.
No matter what, she is the queen, the queen without a doubt.
