Count the palace fights, but also look at the celestial dynasty

I'm a big fan of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", one is because the TV series is really good, and the other is because my memory is very poor, so I can watch it on a loop, and I think it's always new. So when watching "Another Porin's Girl", I couldn't help exclaiming that this is the British version of the story "The Queen killed the Queen"?

Of course not all.

How can you ignore the historical truth? As far as the movie is concerned, the amount of information is too large, so it seems rushed. For example, how was the first queen killed; whether there were other ministers' forces plotting to compete for favor; whether the queen did something to the pregnant Johnson, and so on. In the rush of the plot, Portman's return from France took a big turn, and the king's confusion about Portman seemed strange. Why Portman and the king formed an alliance and the political factors of her becoming a queen did not have time to explain. This is obviously the plot frame of a TV series. It is really difficult to tell it in a movie. On the other hand, the screenwriter is so fucking lazy, can't you just bang your brain, refine it, and make it a little more intense?

The director chose three wonderful people to play, and if he wanted to go the idol-scented route, it would be better to go more thorough and have more lewd scenes, but there were no results, so he had to give a bad review. Another regret is that there is little depth of thought. The more "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is, the more three-dimensional the role of the emperor will be, and some thoughts will follow. The culprit traced in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is power, and even the empress dowager and the emperor suffer from it. It is a real black hole, and there is no clear ambassador behind it. In this movie, even though the king is handsome, he gradually equates power with the king himself, and does not show his struggles in the power struggle. It seems that he is the only perpetrator, and the criticism is reduced.

Scarlett only needs beauty, Portman's role is the most important, some of the meaning of black swan, but always feel that it is not three-dimensional, and it is incomparable with the clear transformation of Zhen Huan played by Sun Li from a young girl to an old age. Other roles basically belong to the symbolic task of completing the task, and there is not much to play.

Watching this kind of film is the worst and satisfying. I like any of Scarlett's films, I just like to see her dangling in front of me, that's enough. There is also a deep emotion. The British rules are still not big, the palace fights are still very gentle, and there are people in the movie who died peacefully. Not to mention "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the "Ren She" invented by Empress Lv during the Han Dynasty in the Celestial and Han Dynasties. It's enough to make the British gasp. Even if you can chop off your head with an ax, you still think the British are really kind and backward. To see the fight in the palace, the fight in the nest, and all kinds of expendable and non-productive struggles related to people, we still have to look at the celestial dynasty.
