queen's man

N years ago, I saw the movie "Elizabeth I" starring Cate Blanchett. I almost forgot the plot. The only impression at the end is that the Queen's face is covered with thick white powder at the end, and the back of her neck is standing tall. With a fan-shaped collar, he said indifferently: "I married England, and from now on, England is my husband." That movie should mainly tell the story of Elizabeth I when she was young. Yesterday I watched it produced by the British BBC. The mini-series "Elizabeth I" starts at the age of 45 and ends at her death at 70. Jeremy Irons plays the Earl of Leicester, a middle-aged man who fell in love with his 12-year-old stepdaughter in the performance of "Lolita" more than ten years ago. brilliant. Now that he is old, and no matter how skilled his make-up is, he is still an old man with drooping eye bags. Seeing him and the wrinkled old lady, the Queen, frowning and frowning, he feels a little uncomfortable. I just watched the first episode. It is said that in the second episode there is also an intimate scene where the old queen and the 20-year-old Earl of Essex roll on the mattress, KAO, which not only tests the nerves of the actors, but also affects the audience. The degree of eyeball and psychological recognition is also a huge test. Just watching the beautiful Catherine Zeta Jones and the old-fashioned Sean Connery fall in love in "The Stealing Trap" is unbearable enough. I can't think that the British are hotter than the Americans. The love between sister and brother is not strong enough, so I just went directly to the love of the year.
There are a lot of bloody scenes in the film, including cutting off the poet's right hand in public; a group of traitors are hanged on the gallows and half-dead, then put down and gutted and burned; there is also a scene in which Queen Mary goes to the guillotine. Terrible, the second axe chopped off the entire head before the first axe was cut off. Even though he knew it was a special effect, he still felt very disgusting. I keep thinking of these scenes in my head when I go to bed at night. In addition to the daunting Islam that was about to launch jihad at every turn, there were also many wars caused by Christianity in medieval Europe, which ordinary people would not talk about. There were also countless nobles of noble blood such as Queen Mary who fought relentlessly to defend their beliefs. Go to the guillotine or the gallows. Sometimes people who believe in a certain religion are very scary. They are so devout that they can even die, kill people, and start wars for doctrines that seem illusory to us. People who have no faith like us will never have it. Strong inner strength, from this point of view, people with pious beliefs are enviable.
The second episode is different from the previous episode, which focuses on national events in the Elizabethan era. The plot mainly revolves around the bad relationship between the Queen and the young Earl of Essex. Although she is a virgin queen who has never been married in her life, her real age can't deceive anyone, watching the wrinkled old queen hugging and kissing with a young man who can be her own son, or shyly surrounding Chasing each other around the table, or talking to each other affectionately, is not a pleasing thing in any way. The inequality of status is destined to be impossible to have true equal love. The queen's love for the earl is a nostalgia for the irreversible youth, and the earl's love for the queen is mixed with more demands and desires for fame and fortune. Just as the queen summed up herself at the end: "The biggest enemy of a king is a subject who is too powerful." Since ancient times, whether Chinese or foreign, the biggest taboo of being a courtier is to be high on the master. When the Count returned from his expedition to Spain and was warmly embraced by the people, he couldn't help but get carried away. For the queen whose power equals life, even the man she loves is unbearable rebellion. Unlike his stepfather, the Earl of Leicester, in the same situation that he could not get a marriage with the queen, Lester wisely chose to be a friend who will always be loyal to the queen, so he was able to die peacefully; while the more stubborn Esses Tez let his inflated ambitions drive him toward rebellion and destruction, and toward the road of no return to the guillotine. A queen on a high throne has political attributes that override biological attributes. She is first a king, a monarch, and a supreme ruler; second, she is a woman. The Earl of Esther was unwilling to be just a "king's man", and the final tragic result could only be that his noble and handsome head was cut off by the knife and axe.
