1. The protagonist of the story, Jack, set fire to the old Kingsbridge monastery, which was detrimental to his character; he brought from France a statue of the Virgin Mary, which he carved with tears, which he said was a holy relic. He wanted to continue building the monastery. If he made up this lie, then firstly Jack is not a devout person who believes in God, and secondly, it also shows that in order to achieve his goal, he has adopted deceitful means, which greatly reduces his character, and Jack is not enough. Noble and pure. I still have a question, why didn't people ask where he got the tearful Madonna that Jack brought? In addition, when Jack left France, he stole a book on architecture. Although a book is nothing, it also shows that Jack is not clear enough.
2. Why did King Stephen return the title of Earl of Charlene to Richard at the end? How does this benefit him?
3. Since the Archbishop helped King Stephen win the throne, and Stephen also promised to obey the Church, why did the King never grant the Archbishop the Archbishop of Canterbury?
4. After Wangqiao Abbey lost the market operation license issued by King Stephen, and obtained the market operation license of Queen Maud, but Maud was later kicked out of England by Stephen and fled back to France, then King Stephen would not recognize Maud. The market operation license issued by Queen De, the archbishop just took advantage of this opportunity to play tricks and prevent Wangqiao Monastery from continuing to open the market, but these are not explained in the play. It seems that the Wangqiao Monastery is still opening the market, and it is very prosperous. People cannot understand.
5. The character of the heroine Alena is also flawed, for example: in order to regain the title, she did not hesitate to let her younger brother sacrifice his life for King Stephen to kill his father (his younger brother Richard went to fight Queen Maud for Stephen, Alena's father But rebelled for Queen Maud!). Also, Alena was raped by William, which is excusable, but later, in order to raise money for her younger brother to buy knight equipment, she married Alfred, but before marrying Alfred, she married Jack again. Going to bed, Jack came to take Alena to run away, but Alena was reluctant to leave. What did you say Alena did! She betrayed her love and was also unfaithful to her husband Alfred, who was very innocent and could be said to be a victim.
6. Why did William kill his mother? His mother's reason for killing his father was also far-fetched. The reason was that when his father died, William could inherit the title.
7. When William attacked the market opened by King Bridge Abbey, why did the architect Tom run out unarmed and let William kill it easily? Could it be that Tom would go crazy? This scene is incomprehensible.
8. At the end of the story, it is mentioned in the play that the main body of the cathedral has been basically completed. Queen Maud's son Henry II fought back to England and became the king of England. There is no explanation in the play. Sanctioned or not, Richard helped Stephen fight against Maud, and cut off the head of Maud's illegitimate brother and dedicated it to Stephen. It can be seen from the play that Alena and Jack had a good life.
In addition to the above 8 points, I think this film is too bloody and violent, and there are too many scenes on the bed. Good films do not rely on these scenes to attract people.
