I really like the use of food in several places in the film: from the very beginning, the queen was bored and chewed and quickly ate the plates of exquisite dishes brought to her (an unnamed aristocratic lady who attended the meeting also complained to the waiter who collected the plates, " I haven't finished eating yet!" She also immediately said, "This meal is a lot better"; when she called Abdul's companion, who was wearing a Scottish highland outfit and carrying a plate, in the wild wind and dark clouds, like a cardamom girl cheerfully said that she would come again. Two pieces; and then she, as the supreme ruler of the Empire on which the sun never sets, ordered Ouchi with a look of dignity and pride: "I want to eat a mango." Food has power. People take food as their heaven, and so is Jun — when Victoria began to express a strong desire to take a bite of a food, it was her rekindled passion for "living" that supported her desire; The right mango is the best metaphor for this passion, golden, heavy, full of vitality from heaven and earth. It is precisely because of this that when a mango whose appearance and texture are unsatisfactory is presented to the Queen in a beautiful box, she will be so dissatisfied (the Duchess's acting skills? At a glance, the audience can feel that she is interested in the Queen. Says it's not a big deal to be angry about, but she's genuinely unhappy)
After talking about the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages - the biggest problem of the film is that the ability of the two leading actors to interpret the characters is not equal, resulting in the richness of the Queen's role, while the Abdul role lacks foundation and is not convincing. The rivalry between the two is like a seesaw, one end is always upside down and the other is calm, very awkward ?
