Today I watched "Desert Queen" starring Nicole Kidman, based on the biography of Gertrude Bell, a British female diplomat in Iraq. In the film, the heroine is called "Gertrud Bell". She is a character who rode a camel in the desert to explore the wilderness culture and the status and customs of each tribe. She is a traveler, writer, politician and other characters. women.
When I watched "The Princess of Monaco" about half a year ago, I saw this film appearing in the recommendations. At that time, I felt it was boring and too long, and I didn't want to waste that hour and a half (I am different in each period. , even if it’s a few months, it’s good depending on the nature), but I didn’t reject this film at all yesterday, and I watched half of it from yesterday to today. I think it’s pretty good. It’s not like many film critics say that the director made it. So-so, but maybe it's me, I can always find the good side and let me appreciate the meaning.
From my point of view, Gertrude Bell's exploration of the desert again and again is more like a journey of self-redemption and relief of inner pain!
Because she returned to China to win her parents' affirmation of her marriage with her lover, she didn't return for a long time, and her lover fell off a cliff, leaving half of the coins of Alexander the Great when they were engaged. Facing this matter, she hated it for a long time. Because they have too many unfinished passions and stories, just like they haven't had enough time to play the piano, and the broken piano can't be repaired. After losing a bosom friend and a lover, no one can understand what she wants, what she wants to do, and where she wants to go? This kind of sympathy is more of pity for herself, and then she experienced several love edge balls. At the end of the film, when she wrote her own diary, she also said that she was ultimately missed from love.
However, most of the film recounts the thrilling scenes of her encountering different tribes in the desert. At every turn, a group of men riding camels and holding shotguns surrounded the four-person team. I feel that this scene is a bit single, maybe it also comes from the truth? Did not explore. But at this time the firmness and freedom in her eyes, no one disrespects her!
