Why you need confidence

As soon as I saw the UK Film Council at the beginning of the film, it was inevitable that I would start to feel a little sad. This body was set up by the Labour government to develop the British film industry. Now that the Conservative Party has come to power, the first target to be cut down is a series of non-profit cultural institutions headed by the UK Film Council. These include more than 50 museums and libraries. The Conservative Party's opinion is that, in the midst of the economic crisis, the removal of the UK Film Council is undoubtedly a taxpayer-responsible act. The DCMS (development for culture, media and sport) formally proposed on January 26 to abolish the UK Film Council and establish a more direct and simplified relationship with the British Film Institute. The entire statement says times and needs have changed today. And this adjustment is also very necessary.

In this way, the implicit meaning of this film has gone far beyond the expression of the story itself. This is a process of regaining an image of Britain that has faded with the times. In this way, it is not difficult to understand why the director has appointed so many "backbone" old faces to interpret this history.

After watching the film, I felt very moved. Although the whole film is very traditional, it can even be said to be a bit old-fashioned. But it's cool, solid, and brilliant, far surpassing Black Swan's gimmicky and so-called horror gimmicks, which were competing for the Oscars at the same time. There is not too much superficial exaggeration, but simply tells an inspirational story of victory in adversity. Like a new biography, it reveals the taste of the people hidden under the surface.

Everyone needs faith. Although there are no wars in peaceful times, it does not mean that the hardships in the world will decrease. The film seems to be about how the king himself overcomes his mental illness and gets rid of his stuttering problem. In fact, this is a plot that applies to a corporate society that advocates collaboration. Whether it's Lionel who practiced medicine without a license, the princess who kept seeking medical treatment, or saying: We are the old king of a company, and we are all part of this corporate society. Like the British film industry. Faced with fundraising pressure and financial shortages, how to protect and support the development of local films through more reasonable allocation and collaboration requires everyone in the entire industry to regain confidence. The same goes for other art institutions. It's hard to imagine what the UK would be like without museums and public non-profit institutions like libraries. . .

Finally, seriously despise the Conservative Party! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
