Why must there be a title?

The whole script has been closely following the theme to create suspense: Is she a real princess?

Originally, everyone agreed that it was just to find a counterfeit to charge the number. But as the plot progressed, hints that "she might be true" continued to appear. From looking at the photo album to recognize the name of the yacht, it can be explained by the logo on the photo; later, the "fake princess" confided from time to time the details that Bunan had not taught her, which made people uncertain; and finally used "I will cough when I'm afraid" This convinced the queen dowager, and it seemed to be enough to convince the audience (this detail also made a lot of foreshadowing in the front); as a result, the reporters who appeared at the press conference made the princess's identity suddenly change.

But the most irritating thing is that at the end of the play, you will find that the true or false princess is completely unimportant. Anna gave up her identity and eloped with General Bunan. This is actually not a suspense film, but a cliché love story.

So at the end, the Queen Mother said, "The performance is over, all go home." Not only to the nobles at the ball, but also to the audience in front of the screen. The movie is over, and the whole story is nothing short of a farce. (At the end, this kind of "play" performance technique appeared in the play again. Anna had a nightmare on a stormy night. The background music was a rush of piano sounds. Anna rushed out of the room and held the piano cover in the living room. , The background music stops here.)

Some people say that Anna and Bunan’s relationship line is hard to see. This is exactly its ingenuity. Looking back, you will find many hints, such as the joy of learning to dance, such as Anna's naughtiness when training court etiquette. When Bunan persuaded Anna to go to Copenhagen, this suggestion reached its peak: Anna said, you know I will definitely go. Bunan took her hand and kissed the back of her hand lightly. (When I saw it for the first time, I thought Anna had said some secret words to make Bunan recognize her as a real princess--!)

As for being on the train, Bunan said, I know him very well, and I am him (Anna's fiance). This is Chi Guoguo's flirting.

Put the princess line on the surface and the love line behind the back, and finally reverse it abruptly, and then mock the audience with the sentence "The show is over, go home". This feeling of being played by monkeys is really enjoyable.

I don’t want to discuss whether the heroine is Stockholm syndrome, or whether the value of love is greater than money status is correct. These are the same as whether Anna is a princess or not, and it doesn’t matter at all. I want to talk about the implicit view of love in the Middle Eastern style.

In the end, Bunan said to the Queen Mother that the most difficult things for others are simpler than me; and the simplest things for others are extremely difficult for me. What does he want to say?

Let's think about the question before the Queen Mother: What are you asking for, and why are you asking me?

What Bunan asked for, obviously, was to be with Anna. Why ask for the Queen Mother? This is not so obvious.

On the surface, the empress dowager is the head of the royal family, and the combination of Bunan and Anna is legally unacceptable, so she needs her permission.

But think about it carefully, since it's an elopement, what does it matter whether it is legal or not? Besides, the relationship between Bunan and the royal family does not seem to be good. The Queen Mother once said that you still did not forgive my family.

So, why do you ask her?

It's time to ponder Bunan's answer here. What he calls simple is to win Anna's heart. The difficulty is that this love will make her give up everything she has gotten.

I have to say that the script is really well written. In the previous ball, Anna discussed this with Prince Paul. "Prince Paul and Anna Cliff are engaged, will you announce this?" "If I had no title and no property, would you still marry me?" Paul's answer is, I know you have, so I will never make this assumption.

And what Anna gets is not only the title, property, but more importantly the affection and family. As she said to the Queen Mother, "You gave the most important thing, myself".

Therefore, Bunan must not ask Anna personally about this matter, he cannot deprive Anna of the happiness she has just regained. He can only ask Anna's only relative in this world, the Queen Mother.

I like this story.
