First of all, it must be said that the tones of this movie are handled well. Although it is a little dark but still more textured, it restores the coldness of the turbulent situation that year. In addition, the acting skills of the actors are also okay, except that the arrogant little Thomas is acting for the sake of acting.
But it must be said that this drama is too dull. I have always had high expectations for British historical dramas. Before, there were a series of American dramas such as "The Tudor Dynasty", and later there was the more bloody "Another Polling Girl". Perhaps the historical passages selected by these dramas are There are more stalking periods, but this is not the only reason that makes these dramas stand out, because as a TV series or movie, the premise of good-looking is to first ensure that there are at least conflicts in the content of the plot, and then the whole plot revolves To resolve the contradiction, and in the process of resolving the contradiction, new contradictions will appear, so as to achieve the effect of climax.
The war that started in this movie, including the conflicts between father and son, and brothers were handled well, but after half an hour, the plot began to enter the political and legal realm, which seemed a bit boring. In addition, I don’t know if it is the requirement of the script. In many scenes of this show, the actors speak in a low voice, and the tone from the beginning to the end is very flat, there is no ups and downs, and there is no emotional appearance. Good, but long-term dialogues that seem to memorize texts really make it impossible to concentrate on watching them. In addition, the rhythm is relatively slow, and even the scenes of war cannot make people excited. It can only be said that as a pseudo-documentary, the film is qualified. If it is a film, there is indeed something missing in it. Historical films do not. Dog blood is necessary and there is no need to make popcorn-like fast food, but at least people should concentrate on seeing the end from beginning to end. This drama is obviously not up to the standard.
