In this film, the director once again showed his superb skills in controlling characters and stories, with perfect balance and details, which brought George VI to the audience in a vivid and full-bodied way. The British royal family has always been hidden behind deep palaces and high walls, and they are kept secret. To the world, they are so far away and noble, and they will always be a symbol of a country as sacred and inaccessible. The British kings of the past dynasties have therefore only become things like symbols, which are difficult to be truly recognized by the world. To shoot a biography of such a character, the first thing is to truly restore the character itself. It cannot look too far away and sacred as in the propaganda film or poster, and it cannot be too kitsch to become the origin. What kind of person should the King of England be, and what kind of person should George VI be. Kings are also human beings. Although they are noble, human beings also have seven emotions and six desires. Edward VIII is so romantic in the eyes of the world. People support him with the label of God Bless the King. He remodeled palaces, gave gifts and favors for a woman who had been married twice, while forgetting about the upcoming war and the royal family's public image. Every line, every detail, shows the inner contradiction and fickleness of this king.
