theme
, I felt that the theme was not clear. Is it a description of this love or the tragedy of enlightenment? I'm a little stupefied. But it seems that the two are not in conflict. Enlightenment thinking is the matchmaker for two people who fall in love and also the basis of their goodwill. Enlightenment thinking allows them to work together to change the country, and enlightenment thinking makes their fate a tragic color. The nervous king said it directly, he had no feelings for her, she just had a perfect imagination for her husband when she didn't see it, and she didn't like her in the end. It is equivalent to saying that this love is a symbol of traditional love, which is to be broken by enlightenment thought, and the tragedy of love is like the final solution of enlightenment thought. The last long letter left to the children, and the layer of light when the girl opened the curtain at the end symbolizes the dawn of modern society. The film only uses the clues of love to describe the fate of enlightenment thinkers.
The narrative
film begins with the Queen's letter and ends with the Queen's letter, echoing the beginning and the end. In the middle, the narration like memories sometimes runs through the main line, leading the development of the story, which is indispensable.
1. Background. The girl's tone of voice told such a story, riding a carriage to the beautiful countryside of Denmark, which reminded me of Lin Daiyu's peeping when she entered Jia's house and gently lifted the curtain of the car. The same curiosity and worry about the future, the same twisted and tragic fate. Then in front of the palace, a montage of long shots received a conversation between the king's stepmother and the king's younger brother. Two sentences show how much the fight has just begun. Then, the queen's book was monitored and deported, a move that implied the queen's lack of freedom. On the night of the wedding, the "perfect" husband he was thinking of finally arrived, but he became emotional when he played the piano for the first time. The next king, who was asked to go to the palace, also vented and forced the queen, some of which were full of coercion. Her destiny is no longer the freedom, happiness and ease of the princess, but struggle, calculation, coercion and bondage.
The first third of the narrative is until the queen becomes pregnant and the king travels. Each picture contains a lot of information, explaining the background of the story, introducing the characters, and hinting at the direction of the story.
2, play. After the background is explained, the male doctor comes on the stage. The nobleman's wildness gives the doctor a chance to get involved in this battle. The nobles use him to confuse the king when they seek their status. Who knows that he has completely won the king's trust. The dialogue during the interview turned out to be It is the language of enlightenment thought, which is the key to the madness of this mad king. The king let him participate in politics, thus introducing the current state of the country's administration, the status of the king, the king asked him to see the queen's doctor, so they met, and a Rousseau book made each other have a good impression. The film follows the doctor's footsteps to see the actual situation of the royal family.
3. Change. At first, the doctor wanted to coax the king to be happy and win his trust. He took the king to visit prostitutes and accompany him to practice swordsmanship. In order to win the trust, he actually knew very well what he wanted, and his first step was gradually being successful. At this time, the doctor went smoothly, won the trust of the king, and won the queen at the same time. He successfully made the three of them join forces to realize the enlightenment thought and conspire together. They started with small changes, then big changes, and then the dissolution of Parliament.
4. Repeat. It was precisely because the Enlightenment thought harmed the interests of the nobility that it was opposed. The interests of the nobles are aligned with each other, and they do not realize that the crisis is slowly approaching. The good times were at their peak when he took Voltaire's letter, she said I was pregnant. The story began to move towards a more intense struggle. As the affair was revealed, the opposition incited public opinion, planned a parade, and the conspiracy began to unfold. The rhythm of the story became faster and faster. When the king was forced to sign, the story developed rapidly. The Enlightenment camp has disintegrated and the opposition has won. The moment of crisis even more vividly portrays human nature. The doctor resumes censorship when he sees the remarks attacking him, and when faced with the surging marchers, he chooses to retreat. These are the epitome of the difficulties of enlightenment. Although the king forgave the doctor, the circumstances forced him to sign his most trusted friend to death.
5. The climax. The exile of the queen and the imprisonment of friends are not what the king meant, but he had to compromise with the nobles, and the real climax was when the enlightener confessed and bowed his head to God, the king forgave him, but he was executed. The crowd of onlookers under the towering execution platform silently shouted that I am one of you, but could not understand it. He did many things for the masses, but the masses only wanted to see him die. His painful tears and the ignorance and numbness of the masses portrayed the sorrow of the enlightened.
6. Epilogue. One of the enlighteners died, one was sick, and one was ignored. The flame of enlightenment was passed on as the two children grew up. A long letter allowed the truth to be restored, thought to affect Denmark, and the society opened its curtains to the sun. The children are back in power and the New Deal is introduced.
