Without the support of historical knowledge, it is difficult to watch movies

I accidentally saw this movie on my computer (it was probably downloaded by a friend on my computer), so I opened it and watched it.
If you look at this movie purely from a story perspective, it will not have a very interesting story, but it should reflect a lot of history 100 years ago. Of course, I don't understand that history at all, I don't understand it at all. So let's talk about the movie:

Bell's love affair with the gambler diplomat at first seemed very immature. Later, after she failed, she walked away, "running", "escape" and "pursuing" for this relationship all her life. Due to the limitations of my experience and experience, I could not understand her feelings. Later, three men who met her said they wanted to marry her, was it because of her personal charm? Or because of status? She calls herself a scientist and an archaeologist. But her academic research is rarely shown in the film. It seems that she can do whatever she wants in troubled times, just because of her aristocratic background.

    This is too small to say, and it still focuses on the relationship between the heroine and a few men, and does not feel the atmosphere of her as a very politically influential woman.

    The picture is beautiful, but the story is too thin, maybe I still blame myself for not being familiar with this history
