      Gabriel : If you can be less proud then I won't have much fun

      A very amazing film. I thought it was a boring court film like Duchess, but it was not unexpectedly good. This is the standard palace fight drama.

      Three women in one play. This drama is beautifully sung. In domestic palace fighting dramas, many concubines and concubines compete around the emperor. As a result, people have formed an inherent concept that the emperor (male) is affectionate, but if the emperor is replaced by the queen, the answer is the same since ancient times. How...

      8.5 points, a clever and cunning British version of the palace fighting film, the screen tension and editing skills are remarkable, the walking in the palace is always very comfortable with long shots, and the acting skills of Sister Shitou are indeed as high as ever. And I have to say that the set and costume design of this show are pretty good. The exaggerated characterization of the whole film is abusive and ironic, but none of these can cover up the film's weak and pale script concept,...

      Tucao small film review www

      Why do women in large-scale palace fights embarrass women! ! (The transition of the super delicate background color of the crossed-out clothing is very obvious, which perfectly complements the atmosphere. The intrigue between the two ladies is very exciting, and Ms. Marlborough is a blast! Abigail's appearance is very white rabbit, and it is hard to believe that he has such ambition. Queen Anne is also very pitiful. In fact, she is the one who has been used the most, and she didn't get the...

      Three daughters in one play

      Looking at the sunshine outside the window today, I was in a daze, and suddenly remembered the show "The Favourite" that I watched 2 months ago. It was the first step in my life to watch it. It's not confused, it's tangled, chaotic, sober, hateful, and pitiful. Our sister Shitou blinks her big eyes like Tongling, looking for all opportunities to get ahead. In the play, she is an out-and-out scheming bitch, both men and women. Opportunists who can use it for themselves, like the director's...

      darling

      After reading it, I feel that it is more suitable to translate it into a real pet or a rivalry. The play is very exciting, but it is absurd to compare it with the Qing palace drama. Such a story character is very different from our palace fighting drama. I think it transcends some kind of drama. A simple dog-blooded palace fight or a lily movie, although it is a play about three women, when portraying women at the center of power, how women crush men, how to chase power, and how they are...

      3.5 What I am confused about is that Lanthimos clearly hates human beings. After all, the three female characters are obviously tragic (especially the queen), and every time they show a moment of pain, they immediately turn to Exaggerated and ridiculous; but at the same time he seems to be able to firmly grasp the human emotional context, which seems like a comedy but makes people laugh. The main colors of black and white and gray of the characters contrast with the splendor of the palace, the...

      I hope that Stone will not take on the role of Abigail as a cheap handmaid again. . Seriously if it wasn't for her. . I will definitely vomit. . Overwhelmed by this year's Oscar battle. . Most sympathetic to Queen Anne in the movie. . Pain-ridden but kind-hearted. . She can't bear to raise taxes. . Faking a faint in Congress really made me laugh to death! ! ! Rachel Weisz was the biggest surprise. . Not inferior to Olivia Colman. . To be honest, I don't really like this kind of lace theme. . I...

      Lanthimos's worldview is still very successful, and the fusion of burlesque and drama is fresh....

      The weird mix and match texture is interesting and boring, as if it was adapted from an orange in the orange Western court fanfic and that's...

    Evaluation action

    "Beloved" is a very entertaining tragicomedy movie. In addition to the gorgeous visual effects and pleasant wisdom, the film also shows the ingenious balance and the amazing level of characters in the female iron triangle. The film is full of jokes, vivid performances and prank dialogues from beginning to end. As the plot develops, the tone becomes darker and darker. Visually, the film is a feast. With a 35mm lens, the photographer...

    • Godolphin: Obviously you have chosen to keep the particulars of your dismissal from me. I shall leave a gap in the conversation for you to remedy that.

      [silence and dead stares from Lady Sarah]

      Godolphin: I do not know of women and their feelings, but I know they nurse their hurts like wailing newborns.

      Lady Sarah: Godolphin, I have a surge of desire to see your nose broken. Your point?

    • Lady Sarah: Sometimes a lady likes to have some fun.

    • Harley: Must the duck be here?

      Godolphin: Fastest duck in the city. Horatio is a prize worth stealing, he does not leave my side.

      Harley: Keep him away from me or I will pull his liver out and eat it with a cornichon.
