power and self-control

"The King's Speech" at least clarified a misunderstanding. We have always thought that the Duke of Windsor, who "loved beauty but not the country" since childhood, is so great, but we don't know that in the other party's context, the concepts of power and democracy are far from ours. In his society, power is just a burden to him, so he chooses to escape. Even so, he can still live a prosperous life. The Duke of Windsor is not necessarily a coward. Maybe he just has self-knowledge, or maybe he is a hedonist. When the beauty of the country can't have both, he will take the second place.
Alas, only limited power can produce self-control, and unlimited power will lead to the expansion of desire.

The actors' photography and soundtrack are all praises, and the stories are well told but it's not to your appetite. . . The translated name of the Hong Kong and Taiwan version is pretty embarrassing this time. In addition, this poster is very similar to Antonioni's "Professional: Journalist".
