The story takes place in England in the mid-17th century, when female roles on the stage could only be played by male actors. And the female role played by the male protagonist Edwards in the film is even more loved by the king, and Edwards has won the highest honor for himself. Later, the king suddenly got tired of watching the show where men dressed up as women. Edwards was also implicated and was forced to leave the stage he liked. It was difficult for him to accept the fact that he suddenly fell out of favor, and the idea of ​​suicide lingered like a devil...
The popular hairstyles of British noble women in the seventeenth century are really ugly On both sides, a bunch of curly hair was raised in a mess, very abrupt, a bit like the two long ears of a poodle after grooming, it was really terrible. Billy Crudup, who plays the male lead, should be considered handsome. From a certain point of view, there is a little shadow of our Milan Maldini. Of course, the Colts are still much more handsome than him, but this guy's dress is too ugly. Now, the heavy makeup is scary, the bones are too thick, and there is no Thai ladyboy like woman. It's not charming at all, and it's too unconvincing to play a role that has taken the stage by storm with a female character. However, the last scene with Claire Danes, the death of Desdemona in "Othello", was really wonderful, so explosive, and it led me to believe that the stage play (reduced in scope, the play) was well done. There is indeed a charm that cannot be replaced by film and television works.
