Another well-designed scene is in the bathhouse where John persuades Christian to take power seriously. First of all, it is difficult for a person to have a conversation when he is naked while others are wearing clothes in the bath. Besides, he is a king, but John can, so it shows the close relationship between the two from the side. Already Christian's trust in him. Then, the topic of discussion is also the key. Let the king govern seriously and personally, obviously, from the understanding of the whole film, we already know that the king is a bit neurotic and very inattentive to political affairs, and even has some ADHD. This topic is indeed very heavy. If Christian was wearing clothes and in a relatively open scene, he might have left as soon as John asked this question, but he took off temporarily in the closed environment of the morning pool. Can't get over. So he can only listen to this sentence and think about it. When he was acting like it was going to be hard to do, John said to him that you can call it a show.
From this point of view, the director has indeed made every detail, and made the whole story colluded in details. The portrayal of the characters is also very good, and a few small things can fully express the relationship and attitude between several people.
Let's not talk about the plot for the time being, the selection of the scene alone is very admirable.
