In her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, Helen Mirren said: "At this moment, if Queen Elizabeth II were here, she might have made an amazing speech, right? She would say thank you! And then her attitude would be Very humble, then tears, and finally strong. I have nothing to say but thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I played an incredible role." Helen Mirren's words about the Queen, It really fits my vision of her - humble, vulnerable and strong. The foundation is gentle, and in the gentle there is strength that ordinary people can't match. A few days ago, I saw two photos again. Eileen Chang and Rene Liu, who was pretending to be her, still laughed, because Rene Liu had no taste of Eileen Chang at all. Even if they are dressed in the same way and in the same posture, the look in their eyes and the expressions on their faces are simply two people. Zhang Ailing's eyes are peerless elegance, while Liu Ruoying pretends to be disdainful but is really lovable, very petite. The kind of demeanor and arrogance in her bones belongs only to Eileen Chang, who has a prominent family background. This trait comes from blood, not Rene Liu, who is a little girl. It's like watching Helen Mirren's Queen this time, I have to admit that Mirren played a very charming character who can move you, but that's not the queen in my mind. The domineering arrogance of the queen's king is often hidden under that kind of generous appearance. In all the photos and materials, she is as generous as a grandmother, and she is not angry and arrogant. Because she is full of confidence, she does not need to pretend to express her uniqueness, whether it is given by God or the support of the people. Anyway, this woman has always been stable, but her gentle eyes make people unconsciously feel guilty. She attracts, listens to her dispatch. And the queen of Helen is resolute and resolute, she does things in a hurry, she speaks decisively, and responds quickly. All in all, she is an iron lady. If the Queen is a gentle reindeer, Mirren is a jolly antelope, equally charismatic, but not a human being. There is a scene in the movie where the queen, who was so devastated by the death of Princess Diana, was driving out and ran aground in a river beach and saw an elk on the river beach. That was my favorite scene in the movie. Mirren looked at the elk for a long time, and couldn't help but say, it's so beautiful. Mirren's eyes, the eyes staring at the elk, are a kind of serenity and strength that is completely beyond the self. There is tenderness in strength. It is a kind of beauty that can be reached by a human expression. It is completely selfless. , indescribable beauty. Mirren at this moment played the queen in my mind. The Queen is truly unique. This movie tells us, first of all she is a woman, a grandmother, when Princess Diana died, Her first concern was not to let the overwhelming coverage affect her grandson, so she asked people to take away the radios and TVs around them. Her motherhood is her ordinary side. When faced with accusations that poured out to the royal family, she finally put down her air and spoke publicly to the world, expressing her respect and condolences to Princess Diana, saying that she has a lot to learn in her life. The queen is not rigid, has the courage to follow the trend, and has successfully transformed crisis events. Her wisdom, courage and courage are her extraordinary aspects. The difference between Mirren and the Queen can be seen from Mirren's acceptance speech. The queen wants to talk about etiquette, and Mirren is a new woman. She can do whatever she wants, and she doesn't say anything if she has nothing to say, so she doesn't care about other people's opinions. But the queen is impossible. Even if she has nothing to say, she has to take into account her country, her people, and everything that her image will affect, so she can only play the role of the queen well. As for who gets those awards, I don't think anyone is more appropriate than the Queen herself, because she has devoted her life to only one role, and there are few flaws.
