A heavier film than expected

Since watching Black Swan and approaching the new Oscar heroine, I've been paying more attention to Natalie Portman. I don't know if I like her because of the movie or because of Oscar. In short, I am the kitsch of love, the vanity of love to this charismatic woman. But in any case, after watching her movies, I can no longer blur my memory of her. Beautiful big eyes, a strong nose, sexy lips, and a signature mole. She is flattering and seductive, and at the same time arrogant and domineering.

In Black Swan, she vividly interprets justice and evil, conservatism and indulgence, repression and catharsis. She is reserved and indulgent, clear and mysterious, and plays a completely different sisterhood. And in this other Boleyn girl, she is a woman of pure ambition, a woman who will do whatever it takes to realize her desires, and she has an unobstructed view of reality. In the end, her ambition and cruelty were met with cold violence, and she failed to enjoy these glorious halo as she wished, but in the end, she became a queen in history for later generations.

The three Bolling children have become victims of the power struggle. They have no right to choose love, but the right to sacrifice their lives for the struggle for power. Under the arrangement of their father and uncle, both sisters gave their all to seduce the king, and the original intimacy produced a brutal fight. The younger sister has no desires and no desires. She was originally married and planned to live a peaceful and happy life in the countryside. However, she was inadvertently favored by the king, and she entered the palace reluctantly under the persuasion of her father and the compromise of her husband, and started a completely different life and came into contact with this completely different man. Her husband's compromise for power and influence broke her heart, hurting the transformation of her marriage vows and love ideals. She is a kind and gentle woman, in seducing the king, she is easily captured by the king's love and loves with all her heart. And the elder sister is very ambitious. In order to realize her ambitions and desires, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her sister's happiness, and cruelly took the king away from her sister. In order to get his sister, the king turned his head and gave him a meaningful look at his sister who had just given birth to his son and gently called him to his side, then walked away mercilessly. At that moment, the king was so arrogant and ruthless, yet so humble and helpless, just to get a new relationship he wanted. Sadly and irreproachably fond of the old, because he is the king.

All the ambitious efforts of her sister have eliminated all her opponents, and removed the obstacles that prevent her from completely conquering the king and really getting everything. However, it also wore away the king's love and tenderness for her, and eventually she became a well-deserved queen, but she was only treated rudely and vented by the emperor. The king already loves her, but after paying too much, he clearly feels that everything is not worth it. He paid too much, and all he had left for her was disgust and revenge. In the cold, she stepped into a desperate situation step by step, and was finally sentenced to death. Her happiness lies in the fact that what accompanied her in her last days was the unsullied brotherhood with her younger sister and younger brother. In her position as the queen, although she had gained nothing and regretted it, she left behind for her. The next generation to realize everything - a generation of Queen Elizabeth. That must be a continuation of character and genetics. In the end, the younger sister also returned to the countryside and lived the life she longed for at first. The poor younger brother, the innocent was implicated and the elder sister was also executed. The one who betrayed him to expose him was the wife he married for power compromise, and there was no love between them.

It's a story of a starkly brutal power struggle, a story of karma and its fate. But I think it's not clear what is right or wrong. Life blooms in different ways, withers in different ways, and finally lives on in different ways.
