In Britain in the seventeenth century, the influence of the Enlightenment on the country gradually deepened, and the struggle between the new forces and the feudal dynasty became more and more intense. During this period, people of insight realized that the corruption and extravagance of the imperial court was hindering the country. The biggest obstacle to progress, the Earl of Rochester is one of them, and at the same time, he is also a member of the court. Advanced concepts and awkward status made this talented poet choose an uninhibited life, and he used his own way to resist the authoritarian dynasty. On the surface, he indulges in sensuality and indulges in the wine pool and meat forest, but how many people know the helplessness in his heart? So much so that the Earl of Rochester wrote and acted the stage play that was used to receive dignitaries from other countries and would definitely be banned in modern society. This move earned him the status of a fugitive. As for the actress, the earl of Rochester taught her because he saw in her the same unruly, a soul eager to break free from all bondage, and his feelings for this actress should be said to be different from love, with He had a kind of expectation, so that the result that the actress ignored him was the most painful for him.

At that time, the British-style internal and external troubles, in order to restrain the court, the parliament often did not receive funds from the court, and the parliament and the court often clashed over this issue. In my opinion, the reason why the Earl of Rochester appeared in Parliament at this time when he was seriously ill was almost the first time he really used his talent (this is the climax of the movie, you can see how talented the Earl is~~) to fight for the court Funding is because of his personal love for the country. He can't bear the country being bullied. He still hopes that the country can eliminate foreign troubles first.
When I arrived, the Earl of Rochester was temporarily lying on the hospital bed, surrounded by his wife and mother. I have to say that after reading so many movie reviews, many people think that the Earl does not love his wife, but I think the Earl still loves him deeply. His wife, his wife had been by his side in the last part of his life, and it was enough to see her affection. Before his death, the earl was repeating the flirtatious words he often said to his wife when he was young. The Earl's love for his wife and no regrets for his lifelong wandering life! ! It is a comfort for such a cynical prodigal son to die in the arms of his closest family...
