It is said that there are three women in one scene.
If you add elements such as court, power, conspiracy, homosexuality, and favoritism...
It was really a fragrant drama.
A recent new film has done all the above gimmicks.
It’s the one that made Banana sister wait for months and was pleasantly surprised after watching it:
"darling"
The favourite
Many people say that this movie is the European version of [Zhen Huan Biography].
No no no!
Sister Banana wants to resist the analogy of referring to a certain foreign film (drama) as the Chinese version of XX under her real name.
[My genius girlfriend] is not called the Italian version [July and Ansheng], and [Cold War] is not called the Polish version [Fanghua], thank you!
It's not that Chinese movies are bad, but such an analogy will obliterate the uniqueness of the movies being promoted .
Let's take [adored] as an example.
[Chonger] Although it involves palace fighting, it is not the kind of movie with a bit of feudal inequality that women compete for men's favor;
It's a hidden Jiqing movie in which two goddesses compete for the queen's favor.
Coupled with the background of the European court, it is somewhat mysterious and exotic to the Chinese.
Furthermore, this movie has a distinct director style.
The director of this film is Ougs Lansmos, who has directed [Dog Tooth], [Lobster], and [Death of the Holy Deer] .
With his grotesque, peculiar and sly style, Lance Moss has already become a school of its own.
[Chonger] Although it is also branded with a distinctive director, but it is not too difficult to understand;
It is a combination of business and art, entertainment and depth, giving people an interesting and unique movie-watching experience.
Coupled with the three big goddesses in the same scene, the refreshing feeling of watching movies is more like last year's Golden Horse best film [血观音] brought me.
Oscar's Queen Stone (Emma Stone) has a bitch and black belly, she is unscrupulous in her superior position;
Oscar's best actress Rachel Weisz is handsome and strong, and his love with the queen is regrettable.
Olivia Coleman , an old drama player, completely lost her image.
The interpretation of a gloomy, crazy, fragile and determined, moody and emotionally hot Queen of England is heartbreaking and heartbreaking.
The effort paid off. Coleman won the title of Best Actress in a Music/Comedy Movie at the just-concluded 76th Golden Globe Awards .
In her acceptance speech, she also thanked her for two bitches in the film .
What I have to say is that, in addition to the high-reputation masterpieces, this movie has the texture and compelling characteristics.
The scale is quite touching.
But I didn't expect that Sister Shitou turned out to be the yardstick of the film!
This film takes the time back to England in the early 18th century.
At that time, it was the War of Succession to the West Extracting the Teeth, and Queen Anne of Great Britain was in charge of the British power .
Different from many orthodox British court dramas, the film focuses on the ridiculous and ridiculous female-female love triangle ;
Come to have a glimpse of the political struggle and court life in Britain at that time;
Even the absurdity of survival and the struggle between humans and beasts.
The story of the film is adapted from a real incident between Queen Anne and the Duchess of Marlborough.
Queen Anne (played by Olivia Coleman) had a difficult life and had 17 children with her husband George , but they all passed away unfortunately.
In the movie, the queen raises 17 rabbits to replace her dead children.
Queen Anne suffered from gout when she came to the throne. In addition, she was obese and was very inconvenient to move. She often needed to take a wheelchair or trailer.
This point was just used by the director and magnified artistically.
The queen in the film is as bloated and ugly as a badger.
Often groaning because of pain, rolling all over the floor because of inconvenience of legs and feet.
This morbid, hemiplegic state;
It happens to allude to her humble love, and political isolation and helplessness, so she has to rely on others' attitude.
This state is vividly reflected in the relationship with Sarah (played by Rachel Weisz) , Duchess of Marlborough .
Sarah, who has served as the queen's protector since childhood, is the queen's confidant, adviser, and secret lover.
Perhaps because of long-term loneliness and lack of care, the queen's pampering and attachment to Sarah has reached a morbid state.
In order to please Sarah, give her a palace.
Politically under Sarah.
Because I have to bear the cost of continuing the war, I will increase taxes on the people by listening to Sarah's words .
Sarah is busy with political affairs and when she has no time to care about her, the queen even jumps the window to win attention.
After being stopped, he cried out of control like a child.
In this relationship, Sarah is the absolute master.
Her love for the queen is sensible and limited.
She takes care of the queen’s daily life, but does not spoil her and forbid her to drink high-calorie hot chocolate.
To please her, to satisfy her sexual desires, but not to greet her deliberately.
She even said to her face that she looked like a badger.
In fact, this unequal relationship is destined to break.
Soon, the arrival of Sarah's cousin Algaby (played by "Sister Stone" Emma Stone) turned them upside down.
Algaby, a superior who covets power and glory ;
In order to achieve the goal, you can be a scheming bitch.
Its shamelessness is comparable to Wei Yingwan in [Ruyi's Legend].
But Algaby is much more pleasing than Wei Yan.
Sister Banana really feels that setting up people who are not pleasing to act pleasingly depends on the charm of the performer.
With the music and dance film [City of Philharmonic], from the hands of Aunt Yu Pell, she intercepted the Oscar queen stone sister, who has been questioned that her acting skills are not qualified.
But Sister Banana touched her conscience and said that Sister Stone really had a breakthrough in acting in [Bellow].
If it weren't for her humorous and proper performance, Sister Banana would really not tell that this was a comedy.
As a spoiler of love and politics in the palace, Algaby's strength demonstrated a bottoming rebound from low to high.
When I first came to the court, I was humble and embarrassed.
Because her father gambling and losing all the family property, she had to defect to Sarah, a distant relative, to seek a servant job at the court.
Before seeing the glamorous Duchess, she fell a dog to eat shit from the carriage, and she was covered in mud.
When the maid was treated roughly.
But Algaby, who wanted to be a noble lady again, could not be content with such a humble fate.
In order to be in position, she found two opportunities.
One is to seize the queen as the giver of power, and the other is to rely on the queen's favor and political marriage with the minister.
Let me talk about the first one. By chance, Algaby ran into the affair between the Queen and the Duchess.
Normal people should be shocked, embarrassed, or treat ashamed, hurry up and avoid...
Our Algaby immediately turned from surprise to joy.
Sister Banana’s mental activity should look like this:
Damn it! I came across some live erotica, and I can still play like this! I want to study hard!
Sure enough, she began to approach the queen step by step and seduce the queen.
Express kindness to the queen's rabbit.
Complimenting the queen with "sincere feeling".
"You are so beautiful", "Your hair is so beautiful"...
In broad daylight, I deliberately slept on the queen's bed naked, under the false name: The bed is too beautiful, I can't help it.
Then, in the middle of the night, I was called by the queen to "rub my feet", which actually warmed the bed.
After being favored by the queen, Algaby kills Sarah who has been obstructing her;
And began to implement her second plan- marrying Colonel Masham , one step up to the position of noblewoman.
It is worth mentioning that Colonel Masham is the actor of "Billy Lynn" in the works directed by Ang Lee ;
Played by Joe Alvin, his current boyfriend.
Seeing his coquettish and feminine appearance, Sister Banana couldn't match him with the tough guy Billy Lynn for a while.
Quietly, he has a few interesting and colorful rivalries with Sister Stone in the movie.
Having said that, the political marriage between Algabe and Masham reflected the partisan struggle at the time.
Sarah’s husband, Marlborough, is an outstanding military talent and a non-partisan.
He served as the commander-in-chief of England in the war against France.
Therefore, Sarah tried her best to persuade the queen to continue the war, in order to strengthen her husband's power and status.
Algaby married Masham, the minister of the Tory Party , and fought against Sarah and others.
With the assistance of Algabe, Harry, a heavy Tory minister, was able to visit the queen frequently and exert influence on the queen.
The film embodies political factors such as the change of party in the one after another relationship between the queen, Sarah and Algaby.
In addition, the whole movie is grotesque, humorous, and farce in one.
The luxurious court is full of human vulgarity and comicality.
The court was desolate, and the nobles were empty and boring, and they were keen to play the game of chasing ducks.
Appropriate to people's naked desires is the crudeness of the lines in this film.
The minister’s desire for power, the queen’s dissatisfied sexual desire, and Algaby’s ambitions for a higher position are all proceeding openly or secretly...
A lively show of power and desire.
Among them, the queen's performance has enhanced the temperament of the entire movie.
Without Coleman's queen, the plot of this movie is ordinary Gongdou + Zhengdou.
Because of her madness and exquisite performance, the absurdity of the whole film is really convincing.
After the Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a Music/Comedy Movie, the Oscars are looking forward to it!
