Among the royal stories, perhaps the story of the Duke of Windsor is the most intriguing. It is not easy to become a member of the royal family, but to become the king of the royal family—the king is even more difficult, but there is someone who does not love the country and the beauty, and is willing to give up the throne that thousands of people admire for one woman. What kind of person is that woman who is enough to shake the country? What kind of love is enough to make the throne coveted by all living beings abandoned like sandals?
In the movie, the heroine Wally is very addicted to the story of the Windsor couple. Not only goes to the exhibition hall every day to touch the cloth of the cup and basin used by Mrs. Wallis of Windsor, she visits the jewelry Edward gave Wallis through the glass, and even casts Wallis at a high price Gloves once worn. Wally's fascination with Wallis is not only the admiration of ordinary people for shocking love, but also a "nostalgia". The reason why people want to be "nostalgic" is not really because the old is better, but because they need to escape from the "now", and the "now" is everywhere, so they have to escape to the "old" in their imagination. Wally has an envied husband William in reality. William is a doctor who cares about the rights of patients regardless of money, and is a good gentleman who is enthusiastic about public welfare in the eyes of everyone. But in reality, William was a workaholic and often snubbed his wife. Wally loves her job, but quit her job because of her husband's request, and wants to have children but has been unable to find anything. Wally's marriage was not happy, but others thought she was a happy little woman, which made her feel miserable, so she had to let go of her old love and project her longing and desire on Mrs. Wallis of Windsor.
Wallis had been married twice before marrying Edward. The first marriage was very unpleasant, and she suffered a miscarriage because of being beaten by her husband. The second marriage was theoretically good, her husband loved her very much, but she met Edward, a young and handsome prince who was loved by the nation. Edward and Wallis get along very well, but Wallis is a divorced woman after all, and it is impossible to become a country. If Edward wants to continue to associate with her, he has to give up the country, and Edward really decided to do so, and achieved the fairy tale of "don't love the country and love the beauty". In the eyes of everyone, Wallis is the luckiest woman in the world. She is not particularly beautiful, but there is one person who is willing to treat her like this. Wally, whose married life could not be satisfied, naturally envied her, but Wally quickly connected Wallis with himself: Wallis is happy in the eyes of everyone, but who knows if she is really happy?
In fact, Wallis is really not as happy as everyone thinks. There is a man who is willing to give up the whole country for himself. This kind of love is strong, but also too heavy. A well-loved king abandons his country for the sake of a woman. Of course, the man will disappoint the nation, and the woman will naturally be imagined as a generation of enchantresses. Thousands of years later, everyone may imagine this as a good talk among adults, but at that time, women were not praised, but scorned and insulted. When Wallis didn't meet Edward, her husband actually treated her extremely well, but she was still free to get a better one. But when a man gives up the country for himself, when she no longer loves him, she can't just throw him away at will. A man gives you the deepest love, and of course you can only repay it with your whole life, and to repay this love is not only to stay by his side all your life, but also to put your whole life under the camera, making people Head and foot.
Wally saw Wallis' letter, knew her suffering, and realized that the good old days were just wishful thinking. Whether it was before or now, people have to accept the attention of others, and they have to endure the attention of others. The only difference is that Wallis has too many opportunities to choose, and Wally actually has room to choose.
