Volt in Stone Garden , a court dance popular in the Tudor dynasty, source Since Italy, he is known for his wild and enthusiastic dancing.
The sun was dazzling that day, and the girl Elizabeth had not yet ascended the throne, her blonde hair was as soft as silk, her eyes were as bright as stars, and there were green trees and pavilions around her, and she had danced a Volt in the arms of her lover.
Everyone has had such a naive time, believable, whether it is for the kindness of others or for love.
To be honest, in life, as long as you are willing to let yourself believe, it is not impossible to be happy.
Unexpectedly, it is a hundred years old when I look back.
This year, Elizabeth I was fifty-two years old, and time honed her to become a true king-thin, awful, not angry and mighty.
At the time of England’s internal and external troubles, Queen Mary of Scots was attempting to usurp the throne, and Philip II of Spain was eyeing on the outside, while Elizabeth was dealing with religious disputes, assassinations, wars, and endless stream of suitors.
As a monarch, she must do her best to bear the rise of an empire, but as a woman, I believe she must be a little bored.
Just then he came.
He came to the cold and glorious court, even with the smell of the sea. A pirate has dark eyes like a poet.
He brought tobacco, potatoes, gold coins and North American Indians to the queen. In addition, he also had the illusion of a momentary movement.
So, the queen canonized him as a knight, Sir Raleigh.
Oh, after all, it is a woman, not a god.
Hong Chen is too admirable, you see, Bai Suzhen has not been the same as a beautiful young man after he has cultivated for a thousand years.
Not to mention the adventurer Sir Raleigh, who would talk about the fear of "riding in the sea" in a low voice and the joy of returning to the world from the void of the ocean. He deserves to be a good lover.
As for the section that followed Raleigh and the court lady secretly through the song, privately booked for life, which caused the queen to freak out and lose her manners, in my opinion, most of the joking elements, since it is a Hollywood where "no love triangle is not a movie", this is the case. Just look at the barnyard official history. It doesn't have to be too true, and it is better to go for archaeology.
The film tells the history of the mid to late reign of Elizabeth, the execution of Queen Mary of Scots, and the victory over the Spanish Invincible Fleet.
It was precisely with this opportunity that England replaced Spain as the European hegemon, and gradually assumed the trend of "the sun never sets an empire."
As an epic film, it is not good enough, but what is really commendable is the performance of Cate Blanchett.
Her alienation, indifference, and condescending beauty is really fascinating.
Especially in that scene, the queen was assassinated in the church, facing the killer.
The green-eyed killer was excited and flustered, while the queen was standing quietly, she even spread her hands slowly, not screaming or begging.
Her face was pale like a marble sculpture. She was truly terrified, but I respected her almost god-like expression when she assumed fear. Death was approaching, but death was equal to her.
This kind of complexity is approaching the limit of human nature, and there are countless changes in the breath between this kind of breath. Those who can present in contemporary actresses, except Cate Blanchett, do not think about it as a second person.
The clothing is also stunningly beautiful-crepe collar, hollow pattern stand-up collar, soft feather headdress, skirt with V-shaped waistline, complicated and gorgeous embroidery, and three-dimensional tailoring, almost covering all the popular nowadays. Retro elements of the big runway.
Compared with the rococo style brought by Mary Antonette in "The Peerless Queen", the costume design of this film is undoubtedly stronger, the lines are tougher, and the colors are more extravagant.
I remember Queen Mary of Scots most. She wore a red dress on the guillotine. She was already bloodied and terrifying for no reason.
It reminds me of the cocktail named Bloody Mary in the bar. Could it be related to this Mary? It's just too weird.
Even though the queen turned her hands into clouds and covered her hands in rain, she was weak when the Spanish army pressed the land.
Before the fire, she asked Raleigh, "If you change a time, if you change a location, will you fall in love with me", you see, like every woman, she instinctively wants to escape into a warm Go in your mind.
And the man replied, "I only know that there is a time and space, and in this time and space, I have fallen in love with you."
So, no matter how she ends up with him, at least, this love sentence is true, so When she put her head on his knees, the docile look on her face was also true.
But she is married to the United Kingdom and cannot be a wife in the world. She is a queen, and she must not pretend to be in love.
What's more, Shaohua has passed away, and she is no longer the same as she used to be, and the feelings she used to be.
Love is no longer the only thing she knows.
Oh, the spring breeze is still the same, but Zhu Yangai.
