For the reputation of Queen Victoria, I watched this movie, although I didn't see the heavy steam of the industrial age, but I was always attracted by the music of this movie first.
I've always believed that a good movie has more than just the plot. The picture of this film is very detailed, and the time transition is handled very cleverly, which is to my appetite. Maybe it's because the speakers are turned on too high, and the soundtrack in some places is always noisy? But the music is really good, and there is no conflict with the plot. Anyway, I downloaded the original soundtrack through eDonkey, ready to treat my ears.
The plot does not have any profound connotations, it can be regarded as a "documentary before and after the queen's succession". However, the politics involved are only a superficial mention, and after all, there should be a lot of people involved. I don't know much about British history, and I only know the rumor that Melbourne taught Victoria to be a good constitutional monarch, which is also reflected in the movie.
Well, the focus of the narrative cuts to the protagonist, the Queen. For her love, I think it is very simple. The description of Prince Albort in the movie doesn't use too much brushwork, the casting is good, I really like Flander, he doesn't look handsome at first glance, but as the plot deepens, it really looks like Pin Chen. Same as vintage wine. To be honest, the depiction of her love in the play is a bit vague. I still don't know what she thinks about Melbourne. Maybe it's a slight favor? But the film's handling is also good in this. This hazy feeling cooperates with the music to push the plot forward slowly. Of course, we can be sure that her choice is Albort. According to history, we can know that they have nine capable children. The portrayal of the relationship between her and Albort in the play is very beautiful, and the screen switches as the letter is read aloud. I especially like this sentence that Albort wrote to Victoria:

Open your mind , examine your choices , and your honesty will take you through the storm .

The play also mentions her family, as well as her situation and the conflicts of interest among different people. This can be considered a few small climaxes, but overall there are no twists and turns in the plot, and I enjoyed it very much. The good thing about British movies is that their plot and music won't let you down.
The prince's behavior is in line with the behavior that a good husband should have. It really is "if a husband is like this, what more can a husband ask for"? He is wise, considerate and responsible. When those eyes look at you, you seem to be able to see the pleasant fog in the distant fairy tale, wrapping your heart firmly.
Melbourne, I really want to complain about his appearance and the sometimes bitterness in his words, but this is also in line with the characteristics of a politician. I don't know what the historical narrative of him looks like, but he in the movie makes me feel like a dying old man's powerlessness. But he is polite and considerate and knows how to please the Queen, so it's no wonder that Albort feels a lot of danger (?).
Not to mention other characters. It would seem cumbersome to comment one by one.
In addition, several scenes in the movie are very worth watching, you can enjoy the grandeur of Buckingham Palace, the gloom and darkness of London's rainy days, and so on.
All in all, this movie will bring you the enjoyment time of afternoon tea.

The Young Victoria quotes

  • Sir John Conroy: [watching the crowd outside the palace] How changeable they are. They hate you, they love you, they hate you.

    Duchess of Kent: They punished her. They never hated her.

  • Lord Melbourne: Your Highness, there's your opening if you'll take my advice...

    Prince Albert: Lord Melbourne, forgive me but you seem to have confused me with a member of your club. I am not your drinking companion nor your whist partner. I am the husband of your sovereign. And as such, I will make my own decisions, and I neither seek nor invite your advice. Good evening.
