I was looking forward to it at first, but was disappointed

After reading it, the disappointment is beyond words.

Elizabeth, in many scenes, the director and Blanchett wanted to show the sensual side of the Queen as a woman, but the Queen turned out to be a combination of sensibility and rationality, but the variance was so great that it was hard to imagine icebergs and flames. How it co-existed in her: The smug look on her face when she taught Bess to dance to flirt with Sir Walter (permit me to use that term), and the smug intimacy, no wonder Catholics say she's a daughter of a Whore; when she learned that Bess was pregnant, she looked very stiff, without complete hysteria, and shouting had no confidence; the two speeches to the ministers and the army during the Spanish invasion were only average, the speeches to the ministers It's too short, it just feels like it's over, and the gorgeous armor and horse ornaments when speaking to the army are so gorgeous that I can't remember what she was talking about.

And the movie also tries to show the queen's divinity: the assassination while praying and the blessing of the baby at the end makes him stop crying. But I really don't understand what the sublimation of the content of the deified queen can be. The last part of blessing the baby is also a failure. The ending of the New World in Shakespeare in Love is understandable. Adding a New World to this ending is superfluous.

The performances of Owen and Rush are so heavily masked that they cannot see the personal characteristics of the actors at all. Rush's performance is more than cruel and less than wise; the part where Walter leads the ship to sea and stands on the bow after being released, if it is replaced by Jack Sparrow, the effect will be much better -_-

Bess, do you want to push a younger version of Kate Winslet? Acting is far from good. .

On the contrary, the two classmates who played the role of the dragon were conscientious and conscientious. Queen Mary's Caretaker, Mr Collins from P&P 05, Lord Lord in the Caribbean; and Walsingham's younger brother, who was the announcer for the school party in Love Actually, I would have laughed if I saw it in the cinema.

In fact, Philip II is the only bright spot, and this is what the fanatical Catholics look like.

Finally, speaking of the narrative, the first 25 minutes have basically nothing to do with the theme, except for the lovely Grand Duke classmate, I didn't see any substantial content from the gorgeousness.

To sum it up: the lineup is strong, the performance is stiff, the scenes are gorgeous, the content is empty, the script is rubbish, the narrative is messy, the audience is looking forward to it, and the result is very disappointing.

It was unlucky enough to read this before the new year.

    Music, graphics (costumes, rhythm) and Cate Blanchett. The plot doesn't appeal to me.
