Since ancient times, the affair of the royal family has been enjoyed by the people.
From a secular point of view, the mysterious and unattainable royal family will inevitably fall into the trap of jokes.
Even the famous "Hall of Eternal Life" contains erotic elements that cater to low-level tastes.
However, the "Royal History" to be introduced today is adapted from the real Danish history, which won two awards for best screenplay and best actor at the 62nd Berlin Film Festival, and the history is extremely high, and it is a well-made masterpiece.
Set in Denmark in the 18th century, the film follows a love affair between Princess Carolyn Mathilde of Great Britain, queen of King Christian VII of Denmark, and the court physician Strynze.
King Christian VII of Denmark is a controversial king in history.
There are widespread rumors that he is mentally ill, but there is also evidence that he is actually a very attractive and capable person.
Christian ascended the throne at the age of seventeen when he married his 15-year-old cousin, Carolyn Mathilde, Princess of Wales and sister of King George III.
Caroline was raised by her stern mother outside the English court, which led to a naïve and informal personality. She enjoys outdoor activities such as horseback riding and is good at music.
In the film, she comes to the Danish court with a vision of a new marriage, completely unaware of her husband's mental condition.
After his marriage, Christian VII was laissez-faire and indulgent. He hangs out with prostitutes all day long. Even Caroline did not restrain after she became pregnant and gave birth.
After the only female companion was also sent by Christian, the young queen began to hate her husband.
In 1768, the king decided to cruise Europe, a trip that changed the fate of Denmark. In April of that year, the king met the doctor Joanna Frederick Stirlingser in Germany.
Streep Steiner was born a commoner and was deeply influenced by Enlightenment ideas. His outstanding talent and elegance soon made him at ease in the upper circles of communication, and he also made a group of aristocratic friends who had been expelled from the court in Copenhagen.
It was these people who recommended Streepingze to the court as a psychiatrist.
During his journey, Streepze won the king's trust. By the time the king returned home, Strinzer was appointed the king's personal physician in Copenhagen.
In fact, the queen initially did not like the red man around her husband, and she was busy mourning her life.
Strynze was one of the few people who really cared about the queen, and it was with his persuasion and encouragement that Christian VII repaired his relationship with the queen. The relationship between the three reached a peak.
As the film shows, the Enlightened Streep and the queen from the constitutional kingdom are more ideologically compatible.
Compared with her neurotic husband, Streepitzer is indeed a more ideal partner.
The two became increasingly intimate.
By 1770, Strynze officially became the queen's lover.
At the same time, Strinder's power grew, and he was given the position of cabinet secretary, within which all correspondence between the danish and Norwegian royal governments passed through his hand.
At that time, on the eve of the French Revolution, the undercurrent of Enlightenment ideas was surging. Streepitzer felt that this was the time to use his talents.
He first decided to dissolve the Council of State, and then forced the king to sign an order to give him absolute authority—all decrees or laws were valid as long as they were signed by Strynze. And the king was numb and indifferent to all this.
Although Streinser was quick-witted and clear-headed, he did not have much administrative experience and lacked the ability to anticipate the consequences of action.
The mass smashing of public officials' jobs and the reduction of the rights of the nobility made Strinder a lot of enemies, and his affair with the queen spread dissatisfaction with his rule to the people.
However, this overly ostentatious peach incident eventually harmed them. The queen boasted her love affair to the maid without hesitation.
Even later, everyone in Copenhagen knew that the queen and the doctor's room were connected by a secret staircase.
In July 1771, the queen gave birth to a princess, Louise Augusta, a girl who clearly resembled Strynze, and the indignation of the people at Strynze was finally ignited.
In the name of the empress dowager, the opponents intended to overthrow Streepnz, who intended to weaken the king's power in order to ensure the safety of herself and her son for some time to come.
The process of the coup is actually very simple. After a court masquerade ball, the conspirators stormed Christian VII's bedchamber, frightening the king and forcing him to sign an arrest warrant.
Then they took the army and arrested the lovers.
On 27 April, 30,000 people watched, Strinze and Brandett were sentenced to death.
The film only shows Streinze being put on a guillotine, but the executions in history are much more brutal – the two are beheaded after their right hands are chopped off, their bodies are dismembered into 5 pieces, and Strynze's head is also picked on a long pole for public display.
King George III took his sister home, but the English court did not want to accept the fallen woman.
In the end, George III arranged for the queen to take up residence in Celle, Hanover. She never saw a pair of her children again.
She died of scarlet fever in 1775 at the age of 23.
Against the backdrop of Hollywood's single-handed canopy, the release of this film has undoubtedly blown a fresh Nordic wind. Not only is the exterior forest full, but several leading actors are even more fresh and unworldly.
Mads Mikkelsen, who plays the imperial doctor in this film, has been called "the sexiest man in Denmark", and a face can represent Danish movies.
Swedish-born actress Elisika Vikander has been learning ballet since childhood, with a remarkable temperament, and has starred in several blockbuster films at a young age.
The only raw face, the Danish actor Mikel Fowlsgaard, who plays Christian, won the Berlin Film Emperor's honor for his precise interpretation of the king's role.
For Chinese audiences accustomed to court struggles, this danish court history of the 18th-century Enlightenment is somewhat dull.
But the director didn't plan to make the story more interesting. Think about it, a king's imperial doctor had a scandal with the queen, and directly regented the dynasty to implement reforms, and was eventually pushed to the guillotine by the conservative forces of the nobility...
Such a story is actually wonderful enough, but the director deliberately uses a bland approach to depict this court battle for us.
The two important threads of this film, revolution and love, are both steady and steady.
In terms of the line of reform alone, the film only uses these two shots at the beginning to show us the dirty and backward status quo of Denmark, which also lays the groundwork for reform.
The subsequent banning of the Queen's Enlightenment books and the insertion of the name "Voltaire, Rousseau" in the film at any time depict the political atmosphere of the time for us to be seen in a small way, and the entry of the Enlightenment figure Strynze into the palace provided the necessary conditions for danish reform.
The reform also deepened with the clue of the film's love, and Streepitzer climbed to the peak of power step by step, and finally was stifled by the empress dowager, ending in tragedy.
The two threads complement each other, cause and effect each other, and imprint on each other. The film ends abruptly when Streinze is sent to the guillotine.
In real history, however, the fall of Streep Steinser actually accelerated the modernization of Denmark. During the regency of Christian VII and Frederick VI, the son of Queen Caroline, many liberal reforms were carried out, and in some ways he was the successor to the mantle of Strynze.
Although during the reign of Frederick VI, Denmark was gradually defeated in foreign wars and its international status declined. But the process of danish modernization has accelerated markedly, and world-class cultural figures such as Hans Christian Andersen and Kierkegaard have been born, which is unthinkable in the former country that was dubbed "Viking".
Today, Denmark has become one of the most developed countries in the world, and looking back, this "scandal" affair has played a very important role, who can say that it is not love that drives history?
