recommended for two

Recommended for two places. One is the beginning of the film, the back of the abandoned queen alone in the country residence, the environment is extremely beautiful, like a clear Impressionist work; the second is the famous carriage scene at the end of the film, the Cannes actor's acting skills are the whole film Draws out a pair of outstanding eyes. The part from the carriage to the end of the execution has almost enough fullness and tension to be disconnected from the rest of the film, and the toe shot, abruptly in place, is as brutally precise as all of Mickelson's subtle expressions and changes. Before the last moment came, the camera inserted the back of the queen in the backlight, which was beautiful and empty. The dying man burst into tears. Does he regret it? I'm afraid that moviegoers, like him, dare not think about it. Does anyone really understand what is meant by "that picture is too beautiful for me to look at".
