The relationship with the Earl of Essex is a mystery that Elizabeth I did not solve in his later years. Recently, the International Broadcasting Station is broadcasting a film about Elizabeth I, and it goes deeper into the bottom of historical truth than many similar films I have seen in the past. This legendary queen with a mysterious life experience has maintained a spiritual love with two men who are as close as father and son throughout her life. First the father, then the son. Perhaps, in her mysterious heart, they are always one, and they are the projection of true love in the world in her heart. However, the Earl of Leicester and the Earl of Essex are so completely different. Although they have the names of father and son, they are not related to each other by blood. However, there is a stronger bond in Mingming that connects them together, they pass each other back and forth, and continue a woman's love. Maybe, Elizabeth wanted to see the voice and smile of the dead Lester in Essex's youth, but in any case, the Earl of Essex's own brilliance is so strong, constantly covering the pale pale shadow of the old, he It was definitely not a substitute for adoptive father. Although the queen used the same name to him as her former lover-calling him "Robin" and "Robin", she finally found it out, perhaps she felt it, and the one in front of her. The handsome boy, the man she couldn't control, was farther away than Robin back then.
And the tragedy is precisely from this. Elizabeth and Essex, both of them seem to be playing with fire, but because of the ambition of one side and the huge gap that the other side is constantly feeling, they finally broke down. Just because Elizabeth is not Mary, she is not a secular woman decorated only with a crown.
Half of her is a monarch, and the other half is a woman. Only perfect love can bridge these two very different halves. However, this kind of love has never existed in the world, so she stayed alone and never got the real life of a woman. This is the loneliness that can only be found on the throne, and the sadness that can only be experienced on the throne.
The Earl of Leicester in the movie seems to be beautified. The ambition and power behind the history have been diluted. On the screen, there is almost only a man who turns into a pillar behind him, silently guarding the woman who cannot be obtained in his life. I remember a scene when he was trying to kiss her, but one hand stopped this impulse. The queen said on the other end of the hand:
"Robin, friendship is longer than love."
He couldn't help but grief, and closed his eyes tightly, but there were no tears shed for a long time.
Because of the endless love waiting for a lifetime, they will no longer cry.
Before Lester died, he brought his adopted son from the widow of the Essex to the bed, looked at the queen beside him, and said meaningfully to the young Essex: "Child, Take care of her for me."
This child is like the incarnation of his youth, also mixed with fragile attraction for the power emanating from the throne, although this woman is no longer in her years.
Since then, the Earl of Essex has succeeded his father's favor, and he has gone steadily, even better than Leicester in those days.
However, if he cherishes the early advice of his adoptive father, maybe he can treat this precious and subtle emotion with an appropriate attitude. However, he is young and vigorous, but he does not have the sophistication and prudence of Leicester back then, nor the great tolerance of accompanying the king. He constantly challenged the queen's jealousy and self-esteem, and constantly stimulated the feelings between them. The old Elizabeth had gone through everything and was in need of understanding and peace in her old age, but Essex's fierce sharpness turned their relationship into the sky, and then suddenly fell in midair. This ups and downs may bring stimuli similar to those of a young age, but it damages the dignity of an emperor. In the face of more and more obvious warning signs, Essex is still lost and cannot repent of it. In the end, he set himself on fire and fell under the scepter of the throne. And with his death, the last lingering light of the queen's life also went forever.
Lester's entrustment during his lifetime has caused a fierce bitterness under the background of the times. He had Elizabeth’s youth and spent half of her life with her. He knew his Beth, but he could not teach another heir to understand with the same love. He once warned Essex: "She is a great queen and an unreasonable woman, but if you love her, you must love her with all your heart." He believed that his adopted son could succeed him and Elizabeth's love. , But ignores the long and insurmountable time between the two. This kind of age gap, the fault of experience, cannot be compensated by a simple love without leaving a trace.
At the moment Elizabeth ordered the execution of the Earl of Essex, her heart must have been filled with guilt for Leicester. In the end, Essex was just a dream of looking back on the past years. When this dream was over, she admitted that she was old. Go, and also know what time has passed and never come back again. However, in that unfinished dream, it was still only her and Lester. In the endless mystery of the game, she and he can be called eternal lovers.
