This biographical historical film tells the story of Elizabeth's growth from an ignorant princess to the Queen of England. In fact, this process is more for Elizabeth to learn, what should be compromised and what should be resolutely defended. Because her mother was Henry VIII's concubine, and she believed in Protestantism, which was regarded as a "pagan" at the time, she was finally executed, and Elizabeth's existence has always been regarded as a thorn in the side of Mary and the Catholics. Mary will die, and Elizabeth will inherit the throne. become an unchangeable fact. Becoming an empress, for Elizabeth at first, was hope, power, and liberation. After taking office, he realized that he was managing a country with serious problems and that he had to face threats from France and Spain.
At the beginning, she was young and ignorant, unfamiliar with politics and emotional, plus a group of incumbent ministers persecuted her again and again for various things, and finally experienced the betrayal of love, the assassination of the Pope, and the serious casualties of the people in the war, she realized , she should no longer be at the mercy of others, so she made up her mind to eliminate the enemy. In the process of growing up, she gradually realized that her whole person, marriage, behavior, and thoughts no longer belonged to her completely, but belonged to her people, and finally decided not to get married, but to marry the United Kingdom.
This movie, I think its lines are particularly interesting, especially the lines that Elizabeth said when she matured, facing a group of priests who did not trust her and opposed her, she said: "Remember, your power will determine the fate of our people. Happiness and peace in this land", and finally won five articles, changing the situation that had been difficult for the two parties for many years; facing Sir Robb's plea, she loudly responded "I am not your Elizabeth, and I have no master!" , and finally dealt with the issue of marriage rationally; in the face of Priest William's repeated interference in power, she finally firmly said, "From now on, I will make my own decision", and made a decision by herself, let Priest William retire, and still use the Vaughan star as the chief advisor. Especially when Elizabeth proposed for the first time, she went from nervous and hectic at the beginning to calm and stable at the back, and even tactfully refuted in the face of the priest's questioning. The refutation, the emotional appeal of the four defenses, is an important reason for the "bloodless" revolution to proceed.
Secondly, in terms of details, Mary's alternation of long and short hair just corresponds to her ignorant girl (long hair), the first meeting proposal (short hair), immersed in love with Sir Robb (long hair), and clearing the aliens (short hair). In addition, Elizabeth and Sir Robb dance together three times in the film, and each dance reflects the changes in the relationship between the two: the first time the grass practiced the Volt dance (ambiguous), the second time after Elizabeth's accession to the throne. The overflowing walter dance (love), the walter dance (angry, indifference) after knowing Robb was married for the third time. In the film, Elizabeth's clothing also ranges from simple and fresh styles (mostly yellow, cyan, brown) at the beginning to gorgeous styles (red, black, white) at the back, which further sublime the image of the characters.
As for the editing technique, the whole is a montage, and there are several scenes that impressed me:
the first is that after Elizabeth learned that she was in the position, when she walked out of the room, the lens gradually turned white, and finally she put on After taking the queen's ring, the camera turned white again. This film uses white special effects in a lot of places. For example, after Elizabeth finally decided not to marry for life, she walked in through the door. The characters gradually appeared from white. My understanding of this effect should be to highlight the brightness of the characters' situation. turning point.
The second is a contrasting montage of footage of Elizabeth's pre-speaking practice and the footage of the priests backing down after she goes in. The contrast between the bright and dark scenes, the contrast between one person and many people, the contrast between the nervous expression and the dignified expression, all show that Elizabeth's difficult situation is manifested.
The third place is when Warhan star is torturing criminals, the application of the camera's inversion and rotation, the focus of the audience does not dare to relax at all times. Speaking of Warhan star, the impact on me in the film is that without him, maybe not. There will be later Elizabeth.
