第一集 20231230算一个引子,但没认真看ಠ_ಠ第二集20240102撒切尔和戴安娜接受了考验。
前者没通过甚至提前退出,她发现了不同然后选择坚持自己;后者完美通过了考验但是也由此为之后的悲剧拉开序幕。
两个考验的对比很有意思。
王室成员不经意流露出来的傲慢。
不同阶级之间的不相容。
女王和撒切尔对于“血腥运动”的交锋很精彩。
第三集20240102不知道事实如何,但剧里的查尔斯对于和戴安娜结婚的抗拒还是挺明显的。
戴安娜最开始肯定以为是真的找到爱情了(对应fairytale),但在那六周发觉了不对。
可是在她周围的所有人都与她是不同的立场。
王室内的人认为维护王室地位和稳定更重要,也认为他们婚后可以日久生情。
玛格丽特公主一如既往敏锐。
甜品看得很饿。
第四集20240102由撒切尔夫人儿子失踪引出的女王对谁是自己最爱的孩子的思考。
她分别秘密见了每个孩子,并在之前要求秘书罗列每个人的好恶,免得自己显得冷漠。
女王受到这样的困扰也能反映出她在所有方面都扮演一个极度中立的人的角色,当然有时候这样的角色显得很冷漠无情。
第五集20240102等待王室接见的人和领救助金的人有鲜明的对比。
王室认为被接见的就是最普通正常的英国民众(normal people),但费根持相反意见。
费根在绝望之下,想做就做并且成功了。
让我想起在逛面包店时会冒出的一些疯狂的画面:一下子把面包全出来然后走人……这集的三段对话很精彩,分别是费根和议员和女王,以及撒切尔夫人和女王。
又看到一些女王的难处,比如作为虚位君主,她没有办法对费根的请求做出任何有效回应,同时作为女王,她在外人面前时刻保持完美的体面和礼貌,参考费根被警察带出去并且和女仆对话的戏份(演员演得太好了)。
第六集20240103主要是戴安娜和查尔斯之间的冲突和对抗。
开头女王说1954年的出访他们把孩子留在家六个星期也完全没事(这里给了安妮一个镜头)和戴安娜坚持要把威廉带上有一种很强烈的对比。
女王对于女王职责更为看重,而戴安娜更看重自己母亲和妻子的身份(在后面也多次强调)。
于是拍她坚持带上孩子真是让人觉得...啊真麻烦啊...查尔斯依旧是打电话给卡米拉抱怨。
没仔细研究过他们的情史,但电视剧真是让人觉得他们三个人走向这样的结局,因果非常的顺畅。
中段夫妻俩突然说开了,开始甜蜜地出访之旅。
但由于戴安娜太受欢迎了,又出现了新问题:查尔斯觉得自己才应该是主角,但现在这个风头完全被戴安娜抢走了。
这在这集里也多次强调了,查尔斯渴望得到认可、关注和感谢(具体是哪三点有点记不清),因为他从小缺乏。
于是俩人关系又开始走向破裂。
出访回来下机后,他们坐上不同的车,报了不同的目的地,车开向相反的两个方向。
戴安娜去找女王控诉查尔斯,并且希望女王能在各方面给予她支持。
戴安娜大大拥抱了女王,结果把女王吓到了。
这样在情感上相对比较冷漠的女王可能确实是很适合女王这个位置,但在家庭角色上可能就显得不那么完美(感觉对应了第四集favorite)。
王太后认为戴安娜需要时间去改变,最后由依旧一针见血的玛格丽特公主做结论:如果她不改(bend),她就会破碎(break)。
从事后诸葛的角度看,也还是觉得一惊。
怎么总给玛格丽特公主安排这么精辟的发言。
第七集玛格丽特公主是主角。
因为无意间发现的遗传病而对自己家族产生的怀疑。
越发觉得剧里玛格丽特公主是编剧的批判王室的代言人。
第八集 48:1女王和首相的斗争。
撒切尔夫人为什么总是歪着的。
第九集从雪崩开篇,查尔斯认识到自己真的很想和戴安娜离婚,戴安娜意识到自己真的很不想离婚。
各种矛盾继续累积。
只能说各方面都不和的人生活在一起确实挺煎熬。
不过王室为了体面不会赞成离婚。
这加剧了不和。
雪崩里的雪花又多了。
戴安娜的补救于事无补。
冷暴力下她再次出轨。
这一段拍得好不错。
查尔斯是婚姻里权力大的一方,这么看的话戴安娜很可怜。
第十集 war 20240115撒切尔的战争,戴安娜的战争。
算是给两人定了结局。
快乐的圣诞节,戴安娜只有泪水。
啊好可怜。
第三集 Fairytale 童话故事这一集完全聚焦在世纪婚礼上。
世纪婚礼1980年,查尔斯王子(1948-)向戴安娜(1961-1997)求婚成功,真是不知为何一开始这对会被视为天作之合,两者明明差了13岁。
求婚成功戴安娜和查尔斯王子于1977年中一个派对中认识,之前查尔斯王子曾与戴安娜的姐姐(Sarah Spencer)交往过。
剧中是查尔斯前去会见戴安娜姐姐无意撞见的。
剧中的小戴安娜1981年7月29日,33岁的查尔斯王子和年仅20岁的戴安娜的世纪婚礼于圣保罗座堂举行,共有2650位宾客被邀,共十亿人收看了电视直播。
戴安娜盛装打扮,她婚纱的尾部共8米长。
长达8米的裙子戴安娜的珠宝现在都传到了儿媳的手中。
戴安娜的锡兰蓝宝石戒指至于戴安娜为何如此备受爱戴,私以为一开始可能就是所谓的“民众缘”,就像是有的演员天生有观众缘,有的人天生有人缘招人爱,她的相貌和气质让她格外有吸引力就是招人喜爱;一是她不是循规蹈矩的王室成员,有着很强的自我个性,这一点上有点像格外有“人味”的玛格丽特公主,看她接受媒体采访就能发现,甚至太过坦诚和真实到和王室格格不入;
玛格丽特公主劝阻这场婚姻还有就是她致力于公共服务,服务于慈善事业;最后是她身上的悲剧色彩,求爱而不得,红颜最终薄命。
戴安娜分居后接受采访戴安娜的血统,经历和样貌,都可为合适的王妃人选。
正如剧中菲利普所说,等戴安娜更为年长些,会更出众,更自信,而查尔斯也会渐渐爱上她。
剧中菲利普和戴安娜之间倒是更来电哪怕爱情无法滋生,查尔斯便是在两边摇摆。
王室只想着劝查尔斯接受,没想到戴安娜无法像其他贵族女子一样对此“识大体”地睁一只眼闭一只眼。
王太后表示“两边兼顾”实属正常王室讲究的大局为重,查尔斯的怯懦与优柔,卡米拉的精明,也有戴安娜自身的天真,造就了一出悲剧,戴安娜太看重“爱”,没有她想要的”爱“她不愿意在这三个人的婚姻中扮演下去所谓该有的“王室成员”的角色。
戴安娜王妃王室本身就是讲究秩序而维护王冠,当你在王冠之下,你就要按着规则行事,为此戒掉情绪失去自我,而保证王冠稳定,这并无对错之分,只是选择不同。
就像是第三季讲到的两者对比,肆意有趣的以individualism为代表的玛格丽特公主,沉稳内敛不表露情绪甚至无趣的女王。
女王和妹妹而查尔斯自身本是怯懦,但他还都想要。
要么就一心为爱,铁了心和卡米拉在一起,大不了效仿不爱江山只爱美人的爱德华八世,曾为了辛普森夫人而退位;要么就履行职责,选择合适的王妃,为自己将来成为国王而稳定下来,和卡米拉一刀两断。
辛普森夫人和温莎公爵查尔斯和卡米拉的确是默契的一对,当初直接在一起就好了,也省得祸害旁人。
卡米拉和查尔斯而他在这个摇摆中,受伤的只有年轻的戴安娜王妃。
卡米拉太过精明,她本身就年长查尔斯一岁,她不会完全以“爱情”为重,更不会任人摆布。
果真被nanny带大的英国绅士们都好找年长型。
2005年,他如愿娶到了卡米拉,而戴安娜的生命停留在了36岁。
《王冠》第四季分集简介-第1-2集《王冠》第四季分集简介-第4-5集马岛战争《王冠》第四季分集简介-第6-8集《王冠》第四季分集简介-第9-10集
这两集的时间线以马岛战争前后贯穿下来,核心人物便是撒切尔夫人。
第四集 Favourites 最爱1. 撒切尔的宠儿撒切尔最爱的孩子是儿子马克。
剧中的撒切尔对此十分坦诚1951年,撒切尔夫人(1925-2013)与丈夫丹尼斯·撒切尔(1915-2003)结婚,并在1953年诞下一对龙凤胎,马克和卡洛儿。
撒切尔的儿子马克1982年,撒切尔夫人的儿子,马克·撒切尔参见巴黎达喀尔汽车拉力赛(Dakar Rally),曾在撒哈拉沙漠(Sahara Desert)一度失踪。
达喀尔拉力赛,是一个每年都会举行的专业越野拉力赛,事实上这是一个远离公路的耐力赛,1979年开幕,举办至今。
比赛对车手是否为职业选手并无限制,80%左右的参赛者都为业余选手。
儿子被救后仍自鸣得意2. 福克兰战争(马岛战争)此时,撒切尔已上任三年,通货膨胀达到12%,三百万人失业。
引得女王训斥1982年4月,阿根廷的军政府入侵福克兰群岛(阿根廷称之为马尔维纳斯群岛)。
福克兰群岛阿根廷自1830年代以来便声称拥有福克兰群岛的主权,因而一直与英国发生纠纷。
内阁对发起战争有支持有反对 在入侵发生不久,玛格丽特·撒切尔便指派英国皇家海军重夺群岛,福克兰群岛战争爆发。
光把士兵送过去就要三周1982年6月,英国战胜阿根廷,夺回群岛,重申主权,使英国国内一时间因为撒切尔夫人而重燃爱国热诚,而她的声望亦由谷底反弹。
Godspeed!这里还展现了女王和首相的从政治立场而影响到的个人哲学,前者无为而治,后者霹雳手段。
撒切尔表示不采取外交途径3. 女王的宠儿菲利普的宠儿是安妮,而女王对四个孩子进行了一一面谈,她的最爱是二子安德鲁。
安德鲁与一少女女王的幺子爱德华,竟然也被送去了菲利普和查尔斯去的那个学校,戈登斯托恩(Gordonstoun),显然他在这所学校比他哥哥更能应对。
爱德华王子此时一年拿着2万英镑的王室津贴安妮此时已与马克·菲利浦斯1973年结婚,并育有一子一女。
此段婚姻并不顺利,公主和Sergeant Cross发生私情。
剧中的安妮对戴安娜有些小不满二儿子安德鲁此时身在海军,和母亲吃饭时还讲了未成年少女被“艺术”的故事。
女王和安德鲁吃午饭不得不佩服编剧皮特·摩根(Peter Mogan),很多事情毕竟无法直接挑明,单靠对话和台词就能暗含和映射很多信息。
对美国亿万富豪爱泼斯坦(Jeffrey Epstein)的调查,也让其生前好友安德鲁王陷入X侵丑闻。
19年11月,安德鲁王子宣布将不再履行王室公务。
爱泼斯坦被指控X侵未满18岁的女性,19年8月,在曼哈顿监狱中“自杀”身亡。
据报,爱泼斯坦与上流社会的权贵及富豪交往甚密,密友名单包括美国总统特朗普、前总统克林顿夫妇以及英国王子安德鲁。
可参考纪录片:《杰弗里·爱泼斯坦:肮脏的财富》
安德鲁和爱泼斯坦长子查尔斯1981年7月与戴安娜结婚,定居在海格洛夫庄园(Highgrove),距离卡米拉的住处车程只有15分钟。
女王前来时,戴安娜已怀有身孕不愿离开卧房。
1982年6月21日,戴安娜于晚上21时在伦敦圣玛丽医院生下威廉王子。
卧床的戴安娜查尔斯是真心喜欢园艺,女王又一次展现吐槽小能手。
查尔斯说不喜欢直线,女王说你这游泳池子不是直线嘛。
查尔斯说一切都要有机,女王说那你这网球场也是有机的?
查尔斯开始自我陶醉的念白时,女王开始走神说不如早点吃饭吧。
这里一定要看老戏骨Olivia Colman的表演,真得笑死。
之后吃饭时对查尔斯也进行了训斥。
全片印象最深的是女王和安妮公主的谈话,明明是一个站在顶端的家庭,快乐还是那么难得。
女王的zz理念和育儿哲学都差不多第五集 Fagan 费根1. 私闯王宫这集编剧是Jonathan Wilson和Peter Mogrgan,不得不说,编剧太会“以小见大”了,同时在真实事件虚构情节反而更为突显现实。
英国编剧Peter Mogrgan有人私闯女王住宅是真,两人谈话为假。
可正是这虚构的聊天内容,反而道出当时普遍和底层民众的处境和心声。
麦克费根1982年7月的一个清晨,麦克费根(Michael Fagan)闯入了白金汉宫女王的卧室。
早在同年6月,他就私闯过王宫,不过当时惊扰了一个女员工,在警卫来之前跑掉了。
麦克费根被送往了精神病院接受治疗剧集中的的对话纯属虚构,女王看到他后只说了一句“你在这里做什么”就跑掉了。
In a 2012 interview, Fagan told The Independent that the Queen was wearing a knee-length Liberty print nightdress in a double bed and said to him: “Wawrt are you doing here?!'" before running out of the room to get help.
麦克费根仍然在世,前段时间得了新Guan2. 当时背景1982年4月2日,马尔维纳斯群岛战争,简称马岛战争(福克兰群岛战争)爆发。
4月中下旬,南乔治亚岛(South Georgia Islands)被英方夺回。
6月14日,阿根廷驻军司令梅南德兹少将向英国皇家海军陆战队的摩尔少将投降。
英军在六月二十日重夺南乔治亚与南三明治群岛并接受当地阿根廷军队的献降;马岛战争参战双方正式停火。
长达七十四天的马岛战争共有死亡数字255名英军、649名阿军、3名福克兰居民。
英国zf已下令有关福克兰战争的机密资料将在2082年解封。
阿根廷的战败导致了更大规模的反zf运动,最后导致军zf倒台。
对于英国来说,强烈的爱国主义情绪横扫全国,加强了以首相撒切尔夫人为首的zf的权威,同时帮助保守党赢得了1983年的普选。

首相前去敬礼而非女王尽管最终撒切尔的强势手段治愈了“英国病”,即反复发作的高通胀,可同时也影响到了民众的生活,这是为其带来坏名声的原因之一。
货币主义(Monetarism),又称货币学派,是1960年代形成的经济学流派,以挑战凯恩斯主义的面貌出现。
货币主义在提出之初并不受重视,直到撒切尔夫人在英国采用货币主义政策,使英国经济成功复苏,货币主义政策开始受到各国重视。
(来源:维基百科)
在其执政初期,失业人数达到三百万人,底层民众的生活愈发困难。
而正是在这种情景下,费根才会前去私闯王宫,借编剧之口讲出社会现状。
撒切尔信奉货币主义理论,上台后就进行大刀阔斧的改革。
她主要采取四项措施,一是私有化,二是控制货币,三是削减福利开支,四是打击工会力量。
她为了减少通货膨胀实行紧缩政策,使得商业损失和破产均有增加。

《王冠》第四季分集简介-第1-2集《王冠》第四季分集简介-第3集世纪婚礼《王冠》第四季分集简介-第6-8集《王冠》第四季分集简介-第9-10集
以下都是个人的看法,欢迎来喷第四季的一大焦点无疑是如何处理戴安娜王妃事件,我觉得编剧处理的很好,甚至有些偏戴安娜王妃。
即便戴安娜过世已经这么久了,我还是会称呼她为戴安娜王妃。
记得戴安娜王妃过世时,我还在上小学。
并不清楚她是谁,当时的英语老师是个狄更斯迷,也算是个英国通吧,当然比还是小孩子的我们要通很多。
记得有两周的英语课都在讲戴安娜王妃的生平,为其鸣不平。
其善良,魅力,优雅深深植入人心了。
当时各种阴谋论,渣男论甚嚣尘上,几乎成了主流。
当二十来年后,看到这一季,也因为生活的历练,有了一番对戴安娜王妃的际遇翻天覆地的看法。
要先说造成戴安娜王妃不幸结局的,我觉得主要是女王,舆论,查尔斯和戴安娜王妃自己。
影响占比也是女王<舆论<查尔斯<戴安娜王妃先说说女王,女王陛下估计是,把当下所有国家元首政客都算上,最值得尊重的人了。
其中有很冷血的一幕,就是澳洲之行后戴安娜王妃找女王哭诉查尔斯对自己的不忠甚至侮辱。
而女王的反应是,是不是你戴安娜有些逾制了,请允许我使用这个词。
这让我联想到上一季,女王平息蒙巴顿勋爵政变时,当面对勋爵勋爵的问题,“如果我的国家正在被政府往错误的道路上带,我们还能视而不理么”,女王的回答,堪称最大的政治智慧,“我们王室能做的就是什么都不做,等选举它的人民再把它选下去”。
让人想到先秦时代的老庄政治哲学,相比以无为求有为的老子思想,无疑女王的思想更趋近以无为求无为的庄子。
这就导致女王几乎在public事物上几乎不能有任何表态,同时女王也是一个有情绪障碍人格的人,作为一个人格统一的人,无疑对内对外的事物上的态度上都要保持相对一致。
作为人,在对人对事上不可能没有偏重,如果想一碗水端平,那就是在不触犯原则的情况下,啥都不做,少做少错,不做不错。
有一幕女王和爱丁堡公爵谈论谁是自己最爱的孩子,女王竟然想不出谁是自己最喜欢的孩子,可见无为的意识已经深入血液了。
这也导致女王认为在戴安娜王妃的事情上,没有做任何干涉,认为其应该站好自己的位置,承担自己的责任插一嘴,如果你是个有过多年婚姻经历的人,你应该会感触良多。
爱丁堡公爵和女王对婚姻的处理,堪称教科书式的,松弛有度,女王也是以无为的方式处理的,有机会可以展开来说。
所以说由于女王的伟大,什么都不做无疑给了无助的戴安娜王妃很大的打击。
再说说舆论上,当时可以说一边倒的支持戴安娜王妃,可是这与宫廷的规矩和运作是格格不入的。
可以说舆论越支持,可能越导致戴安娜王妃最终的不行,因为当时的舆论力量不比今天,还不足以完全影响宫廷的运转的制度。
作用力越大反作用力就越大,就越使戴安娜王妃远离王室。
再说说当事人之一,查尔斯吧当我看到成年查尔斯的演员时,我觉得,这个剧选角简直绝了,那种优柔寡断,多愁善感,脆弱,没勇气,智慧善良,都从演员的脸上展现出来了,几乎不用演。
如果倒回20年,最适合演查尔斯的,我觉得,可能就是老友记里的Ross了,哈哈
碰巧ross也是一生只爱一个这选角堪比马景涛饰演张无忌。
查尔斯是个渣男么?
我觉得不完全算,只能算是个优柔寡断,拎不清的人。
一生只喜欢卡米拉,说实话,到现在我都没法理解卡米拉哪儿优秀。
哈哈,可能这就是爱吧。
但限于王室的规矩,只能造就几个家庭的不幸。
就是因为他的软弱。
其实有时候,处理关系问题可能比处理国家事物更棘手。
我是觉得剧集中,应该是比较偏袒戴安娜王妃了,这也无可厚非。
毕竟死者为大,不幸的婚姻,双方都是有责任的,而且他们的结合不仅仅是为了婚姻。
最后说说戴安娜王妃,我觉得可以类比一下爱丁堡公爵,年轻时的菲利普也曾苦恼,挣扎。
埋怨自己的婚姻,自己的妻子,女王不能像对待丈夫般的对待自己。
但最后公爵明白了,也许是屈服了,认清了自己的位置,你的工作就是保护女王。
戴安娜王妃也有类似的问题,但不同的是,相比她的公公婆婆,戴安娜王妃相较之下,比查尔斯强势太多了,政治能力也强太多了,这和容易造成“逾制”的危机。
她们既是夫妇,也是君臣。
我记得女王在他们成婚前的一大担忧就是,“她太年轻了”。
年轻的不足以handle自己的位置,即使聪明如戴安娜王妃。
但另一面,她无能的丈夫似乎很能拎的清自己的位置。
为什么说戴安娜王妃自己有最大的责任造成自己的不幸?
有句老话,“道儿都是自己走的”。
活在王室,不可能你既享有荣誉和资源,还能向往自由,追求人性的美好。
正应了我最喜欢的政治人物之一,撒切尔夫人说的,“他们既不高雅,也不高贵”。
翻译成人话就是,王室就不是人能呆的,完全是一群妖怪。
其实自打戴安娜王妃走进王宫那一天,就注定了悲剧。
其实这一季的情节大家都很熟悉,毕竟离我们很近,历史课角度其实能学的不多。
我反而对这几位大人物处理家庭,儿女事物的情节,台词设计,演员表演都特别考究,真实。
再大的人物,处理家务事时也是满头的问好,没有什么神秘的。
还有就是姑娘们想要幸福的生活,尽量远离所谓上流社会,真不是人呆的,哈哈😄
原文链接The fourth season of The Crown stretches from May 1979, when Margaret Thatcher is elected Britain’s first female prime minister, to Christmas 1990, shortly after she has been drummed out of office. Peter Morgan, the show’s creator, tells us: “We do our very, very best to get it right, but sometimes I have to conflate [incidents] . . . You sometimes have to forsake accuracy, but you must never forsake truth.” The forsaking of the truth, the perverting and twisting of known facts, is what has always concerned me throughout the four seasons of this series. It is about real people, often put into fictional situations.The main protagonists in season four are Thatcher and the Prince and Princess of Wales, clashed against some of the other characters from season three and earlier. This creates a new problem for anyone watching it since in both these relationships there are numerous contradictions, there has been much side-taking and it is possible to slant things in a variety of different ways. Nevertheless, even having taken that into consideration, there are established truths and untruths. My conclusion on this series is that it is yet more subtly divisive than earlier seasons. Pretty much every character is dislikeable. The Queen is portrayed as glum and schoolmistressly — quite unlike the real Queen. The Queen Mother is given some truly horrible lines; Princess Margaret is downright rude; Thatcher buttoned up. Diana is the heroine of this series, largely portrayed — in my view often unfairly — as the victim of a heartless family.Episode 1Did Lord Mountbatten write Prince Charles a letter urging him to settle down, on the day he set out for his ill-fated boating expedition at Mullaghmore?❌ FALSEThe Crown shows Lord Mountbatten on holiday at Classiebawn Castle, Co Sligo, on the morning of August 27, 1979, about to set off on a fishing trip with his daughter and other members of his family. He writes Prince Charles a letter urging him to find “some sweet and innocent, well-tempered girl with no past” to settle down with, and to do his duty. In reality, he wrote no such letter that day.He did, however, write to Prince Charles on many other occasions offering him advice, and many similar letters exist. Mountbatten was by no means a good influence. He urged Prince Charles to “sow his wild oats” before finding the unsullied girl. It’s true also that Charles held Mountbatten in high esteem. Mountbatten, it should be noted, was blown up at Mullaghmore by the IRA before Lady Diana Spencer came on the scene.Episode 2Do the Queen and the royal family lay secret protocol traps for hapless visitors to test them when they come and stay at Balmoral? Did they apply this to Thatcher?❌ FALSEThe Queen and the royal family go out of their way to make their guests feel at ease at Balmoral. In real life, Mr and Mrs Thatcher arrived at the castle on Saturday, September 8, 1979, a mere three days after Lord Mountbatten’s ceremonial funeral at Westminster Abbey. No hint of that in this episode of The Crown. It has to be 1979 because clearly they have never been before. But unlike what is shown in The Crown, there was no torturing of Thatcher, no maids being superciliously rude to her, no wrong-footing in silly games, no making her ill at ease for wearing the wrong clothes or shoes, and no, Thatcher did not plead pressure of work in London and leave early.In The Crown Diana too is invited to Balmoral to be checked out and succeeds and passes the tests, which Thatcher failed. Diana’s visit was, in fact, a year later, in 1980, and at a time when the Queen was not there.Was Thatcher berated by Princess Margaret for sitting in Queen Victoria’s chair at Balmoral — a chair in which no one must sit?✅ PARTLY TRUEA scene shows Thatcher retreating from a stalking expedition and working at a desk, where Princess Margaret strays across her. She berates her for sitting in Queen Victoria’s chair. It is true that there is a chair at Balmoral that no one should sit in — a winged armchair that was indeed Queen Victoria’s. It is in one of the drawing rooms, and about ten years ago the Queen had it moved to a place where people would not easily reach it. Queen Victoria was very tiny, so had Thatcher used it at her desk her chin would have been where her elbows should have been.Episode 3Was Thatcher out of place when staying at Balmoral?✅ TRUEThatcher was not particularly interested in country pursuits, but she went to Balmoral quite happily for the traditional stay by the prime minister in the late summer of each year. After the first Balmoral visit in 1979 her husband, Denis, wrote a letter, later quoted by their daughter, Carol: “There was a house party and some of the people who’d been shooting didn’t come in until later and then there were more drinks — because they’re very generous with drink — and then we went in for dinner. In their language it’s probably very informal but nevertheless you’re on tiptoe. There’s the usual sort of after-dinner conversation over coffee and then the Queen withdraws fairly early . . .”Did Prince Philip summon Prince Charles to the hanging room at Balmoral to command him to marry Diana?❌ FALSEThe Crown suggests that Prince Philip carpeted Prince Charles after the visit Diana supposedly made there in 1979. Presumably the film-makers chose the hanging room, where they skin the wildlife, to emphasise the idea of lambs to the slaughter. No, Prince Philip did not arrange such an encounter. The truth is that Diana began to be pursued by the press in the autumn of 1980, when the media got a hint that she might be Prince Charles’s future bride. She ran the gauntlet of photographers every time she left her flat in Coleherne Court, Earls Court.Aware of this, Prince Philip wrote to Prince Charles either late in 1980 or maybe early in 1981. Jonathan Dimbleby wrote in his authorised biography of “an intervention from the Duke of Edinburgh”, which had “a powerful if not a decisive impact”. The letter warned Prince Charles that he should decide one way or the other because he was risking damaging Diana’s reputation. Prince Charles interpreted this as “an ultimatum”, which was not the original intent. Thus, in a “confused and anxious state of mind”, the prince went ahead and proposed to Diana in early February 1981.Did Prince Charles really leave for Highgrove immediately after his engagement was announced, the presumption being that he would be seeing Camilla Parker Bowles, who lived near by?❌ FALSEThe Crown depicts those famous embarrassing lines by Prince Charles in the engagement interview at Buckingham Palace: “Whatever love means.” In real life Diana laughed nervously. In The Crown she looks cross. They have Prince Charles departing immediately afterwards for Highgrove, his Gloucestershire home, by implication to see Camilla. In fact, Charles and Diana dined with the Queen Mother at Clarence House that evening, which was also where Diana was staying.In this episode of The Crown, having seen Camilla, Charles then flies off — the very next day — on his official Antipodean tour. No. The engagement was announced on February 24, 1981. He flew to New Zealand on March 29, more than a month later, then on to Australia, Venezuela and the United States.Were the royal family beastly to Diana after her engagement, accusing her of not knowing to whom she should curtsey and making a clumsy entry into their midst?❌ FALSEWe see Diana arriving at Buckingham Palace and coming into a room filled with the royal family and bungling the curtseys. Princess Margaret tears a strip off her and they appear to mock her. This is spiteful rubbish. Diana had been brought up in the shadow of Sandringham, at Park House. Her two grandmothers and four great-aunts were in the Queen Mother’s household. Her father had been equerry to the Queen on the 1953-54 Commonwealth tour. She knew precisely what to do.Was Diana really clueless about royal protocol?❌ FALSEWe see Diana being instructed in many royal customs by her grandmother, Ruth, Lady Fermoy. Lady Fermoy is portrayed as a harridan. In real life she was much gentler (at least on the surface). Not only did Diana not need instruction in that way, but the nonsense the screen version Ruth Fermoy tells her granddaughter is risible. HRHs do not curtsey to each other. There is only one Page of the Backstairs etc.Diana did get advice about her new role from the four men in Prince Charles’s private office — Edward Adeane, Francis Cornish, Michael Colborne and Oliver Everett. Later in life she liked to claim that she was given no help.Was Diana cooped up in Buckingham Palace during the months before the wedding?✅ TRUEIn The Crown we see Diana dancing alone to her Walkman, rollerskating in the state rooms and confronted with trolley-loads of flowers and letters from the public. It’s here we first see her bulimia. As soon as she was engaged, the real Diana left her flat in Earls Court, first went to Clarence House, then moved to Buckingham Palace a few days later. She lived there for about five months until her marriage in July.The palace is more of a huge office/Edwardian hotel than a cosy home, and it is understandable that she felt gloomy there. The contrast to her life with her flatmates and this new life must have been sharp. One of the pages, working there at the time and looking after her, used to go out and buy her takeaways. So the loneliness and isolation portrayed in The Crown is accurate. It is also true that Diana did not see Prince Charles much before the wedding. She called him “Sir” until the day he proposed.Did Camilla Parker Bowles and Diana have lunch while Prince Charles was away in Australia?✅ TRUEThey did lunch together, according to one of Charles and Diana’s biographers, Sally Bedell Smith. Camilla wished to help her. However, Diana interpreted the motive for the lunch as being to establish that she would be mainly in London, leaving Highgrove and Gloucestershire and hunting as Camilla’s territory.All evidence suggests that whatever he may have wished, Prince Charles was perfectly aware that his relationship with Camilla had to stop when he got engaged, and that this was understood by all concerned. As Dimbleby put it: “Now that he was engaged to be married there was, and there would be, no other woman in his life.” Diana went into St Paul’s Cathedral for her wedding with her head down, and came out with her head up. She was now his wife, and genuinely hoped she could make him happy.Did Prince Charles give Camilla a special bracelet before his and Diana’s wedding?✅ TRUEIn The Crown we see Diana coming across the designs for a bracelet that the Prince of Wales intends to give his mistress shortly before the wedding. It is marked with the initials “F&G”, which Diana told her author, Andrew Morton, she thought stood for “Fred” and “Gladys” — Charles and Camilla’s pet names for each other.In reality, in the run-up to the wedding, the four private secretaries in Prince Charles’s private office became aware that Diana was preoccupied by suspicions concerning the prince’s relationship with Camilla. A bracelet was commissioned as a way of the prince saying goodbye. It had the initials “GF”, which stood for “Girl Friday”. Diana discovered the bracelet. She confronted Prince Charles and was not mollified. Nevertheless, he felt he should hand over the bracelet in person. The Dimbleby-authorised version is that this was the only time he saw Camilla between his engagement and the day of his wedding.Diana later told Morton that photos of Camilla spewed out of her husband’s wallet on their honeymoon. She believed that his relationship with Camilla never ceased. Clearly there were acute differences between the newlyweds right from the start of the marriage. On their honeymoon on Britannia, Diana chatted up the sailors and cooks, and he remained, as he wrote at the time, “hermit-like on the verandah deck, sunk with pure joy into one of Laurens van der Post’s books . . .”Episode 4Did Prince Charles call Camilla every day during the early years of his marriage to Diana?❌ FALSEPrince Charles had virtually no contact with Camilla at all for the first five years. Yet since Andrew Parker Bowles (the husband of Camilla) was commanding officer of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment from 1981 to 1983, then colonel commanding the Household Cavalry and Silver Stick from 1987 to 1990, there must have been a few formal encounters. Dimbleby dates the resumption of contact between them to 1986, by which time Charles’s marriage had, as he put it, “irretrievably broken down”.Did Mark Thatcher cause a national crisis when he got lost in the desert during a car race? Was he Thatcher’s favourite child?✅ TRUEThe Crown shows Mark Thatcher setting off in the Paris-Dakar car rally in January 1982. We see Thatcher in tears at her audience with the Queen telling her he has gone missing.This did happen. Mark Thatcher got stuck in the Sahara desert in Algeria for four days, and although he was not lost, nobody knew where he was. There were fears that he had been kidnapped. Thatcher was deeply upset and was seen in tears when the press asked her about the disappearance. President Mitterrand of France offered military support. Denis Thatcher was loaned a plane and after a 31-hour search young Mark was located. Denis was none too impressed with his son, not least for the casual response he made to the massive rescue operation.The Crown stresses that Mark was Thatcher’s favourite of her twins. This is confirmed by her daughter, Carol, in the biography she wrote about her father: “The rest of us could relax a little because Mark had hung an ‘occupied’ sign on the family’s ‘embarrassing relative’ slot.”Did Princess Anne resent the popularity of the Princess of Wales, and the lack of publicity she herself got in the media?❌ FALSEThis season implies that Princess Anne minded the easy publicity the Princess of Wales received just for wearing a new outfit, when she was a hard-working member of the royal family who got none. The truth is that Princess Anne did not care one iota about that. She never sought publicity or public approbation, a quality she shared with the Queen and Prince Philip. In fact, the arrival of Diana was liberating for Princess Anne. No longer was she meant to fulfil a role as a romantic, fairytale princess in the eyes of the media — she could be what she naturally was, a successful and highly executive princess.Episode 5How true was the depiction of Michael Fagan, the intruder who found his way into the Queen’s bedroom?✅ TRUEIt was a great shock to the nation to hear, in July 1982, that a man had twice scaled the walls of Buckingham Palace, and that on the second occasion security had been so lax that he had found his way into the Queen’s bedroom. Fortunately he had no malign intent, otherwise it could have been a great deal more serious.We don’t know the Queen’s version, but Fagan has described what happened, and The Crown’s events are close to a faithful representation of what happened — the two break-ins, him drinking the wine and later his confrontation with the Queen. Along with the June 1981 firing of blanks at the Queen in The Mall (an incident ignored by the makers of The Crown), this shows the Queen’s courage and adroit handling of what must have been a terrifying experience.Did Thatcher usurp the Queen’s position by taking the salute at the Falklands victory parade?✅ TRUEIn this episode Thatcher has an audience with the Queen telling her about the successful end of the Falklands conflict, then announces that she is off to attend the victory parade at Mansion House, where she, instead of the Queen, takes the salute. It did not happen exactly like that, of course.Stanley was taken back on June 14, 1982. The parade actually took place in London several months later, on October 12. However, Thatcher did attend, while the Queen did not, because she was on a tour of the South Pacific at the time. There were definitely hints in the media at the time that Thatcher was becoming presidential in her approach.Episode 6The Prince and Princess of Wales went on a tour of Australia and New Zealand in March 1983. Did Diana throw a tantrum and demand to change all the tour plans so as not to be separated from baby Prince William?❌ FALSEIt was a new idea for the Waleses to bring baby William with them on tour. Diana did not wish to be separated from her son, born the previous summer. But, no, the tour was not rearranged. In order that they could be with William, the outgoing Australian prime minister, Malcolm Fraser (who lost the election just before the visit), asked a well-known philanthropist, Gordon Darling, to lend them his sheep station, Woomargama, which was situated between Sydney and Melbourne and close to Canberra (by Australian standards). Albury airport was near by and they were able to fly everywhere, returning each night to be with the baby.They took about 27 flights during their visit. The Waleses stayed at Woomargama from March 20 to April 17 and they had an entourage of 23 British staff travelling with them, including a private chef. Those staff who stayed at Woomargama made a significant dent in Darling’s cellar.Did Prince Charles feel overshadowed by Diana on that trip?✅ PARTLY TRUEThis was one of the early examples of “Di-mania”, but since the Waleses were getting along well and the trip was considered a great success, the prince was more concerned as to how it would affect her. She was partly elated and partly exhausted. He wrote that she was a great support to him at times when he felt gloomy.There was certainly a part of him that did not like being upstaged by his wife. At this time his annoyance was matched by his pride in her, but it is true that later on he came to resent how people were only interested in her clothes, and thus did not listen to his speeches.Did Bob Hawke, the republican prime minister of Australia, refer to the Queen as “a pig in twin set and pearls in charge of a herd of prime beef cattle”?❌ FALSEIn The Crown Bob Hawke is portrayed as a rabid republican, hoping a visit by an out-of-touch and unremarkable Prince Charles would lead to the removal of the monarch as head of state of Australia. His plans are thwarted by the public’s thrall in Princess Diana.Yes, Hawke was an avowed republican, but there was no appetite for change to a republic in 1983. Hawke got on well with the Queen due to a shared interest in racing. He would never have referred to Prince Charles as a “jug-eared bonehead”, nor made jokes at a press conference: “You wouldn’t put a pig in charge of a herd of prime beef cattle — even if it did look good in a twin set and pearls.”Episode 7Did the Queen sideline Princess Margaret when Prince Edward came of age?❌ FALSEIn The Crown we see the Queen and her private secretary, Sir Martin Charteris, informing Princess Margaret that Prince Edward has come of age and she would no longer be eligible to serve as a Counsellor of State. To explain — six Counsellors of State are appointed to act on her behalf while the monarch is abroad (or incapacitated). Only two of them actually act — and they do so in tandem.While it is true that from March 1985 Princess Margaret could no longer be a Counsellor of State (which did disappoint her because she had enjoyed doing it), it made absolutely no difference to her other royal duties. This episode exaggerates this to imply that Princess Margaret’s role as a working member of the royal family had come to an end.Another point — Sir Martin retired in 1977 and became provost of Eton. But he stays on right through season four. By 1990 he would have been 77, but his actor does not age. He remains as youthful as ever — looking about 45.Were the Queen’s cousins put away in a state lunatic asylum to save the monarchy?❌ FALSEThis has no basis in truth. In this episode Princess Margaret visits a therapist due to her “sidelining” and is told of the existence of her two cousins shut away in Earlswood mental hospital. In real life she took no interest in them.Next they have the Queen Mother telling Princess Margaret that these girls had to be shut away because had it been known that they existed, it would have had serious consequences for the monarchy after the abdication. The implication is that the world may have feared that a strain of lunacy had entered the family.The reality was that these two girls and three cousins had inherited a defective gene from the Trefusis family from which all five descended through their mothers. Nerissa and Katherine were the daughters of Fenella Trefusis, who married the Queen Mother’s brother, Jock Bowes Lyon, so this had nothing to do with the Queen Mother’s bloodline.Episode 8Did Thatcher defy the Queen’s wishes for sanctions to be imposed on South Africa?✅ TRUEIn 1985 48 countries of the Commonwealth wanted to impose sanctions on South Africa, but Thatcher did not wish to do so. As head of the Commonwealth, the Queen was inclined to support the 48. In this episode they concentrate on the differences between the sovereign and the British prime minister. On this there were obvious differences.The Queen was dedicated to the Commonwealth, one of the most important missions of her reign. Thatcher was not keen on it, and preferred to focus on good relations with the United States. On this issue Thatcher saw no merit in sanctions, believing that they hardened opposition rather than reduced it. The episode ends with one of the explanatory captions they sometimes employ — Nelson Mandela ending apartheid and crediting sanctions with making that possible.Did the Queen wish the world to know that she thought Thatcher was “uncaring”, and was she therefore responsible for placing a story in The Sunday Times expressing this?❌ FALSEHere they paint the Queen’s press secretary, Michael Shea, as an honourable man who would never betray the Queen or in any way impugn her political impartiality. In this episode, set in July 1986, the Queen tells Shea that just for once she wants her views known. Therefore, unwillingly apparently, he talks to journalists and the story breaks in The Sunday Times with the (real) headline. “Queen Dismayed by ‘Uncaring’ Thatcher”. The ensuing furore is such that Sir Martin Charteris (who in real life had long retired, remember) sacrifices Shea, telling him to resign and take the blame because a scalp is needed to divert the media from the Queen.The reverse was the case. Shea took it upon himself to talk to The Sunday Times. He then denied that he had done so, and when finally forced to own up, stated that he had been misrepresented. The Palace got rid of him by securing him a job with Hanson plc. What Shea had done was to relay his personal dislike of Thatcher’s policies to the world.The story of Shea has been exposed by many distinguished authors, not least Charles Moore in his authorised biography of Margaret Thatcher.Episode 9Was Prince Charles irritated by Diana’s surprise dance with Wayne Sleep at Covent Garden in 1985, which she intended as his 37th birthday gift?✅ TRUEThere was a private gala at Covent Garden in December 1985 (for some reason they say November, and no it wasn’t for his birthday) and at a certain point Diana slipped away and suddenly appeared on stage with Wayne Sleep and danced to Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl. This was meant to be a gift to her husband, but he took it amiss (an incident omitted from Dimbleby’s authorised biography). Sleep got the impression that Prince Charles was somewhat put out, instead of touched. In this episode Charles berates Diana with some ferocity.Did the tragic avalanche in Klosters in 1988 in which Hugh Lindsay was killed impact on the Waleses’ marriage to the point that Charles decided that he had to get out of it while Diana was determined that it should continue?❌ FALSEOn a holiday in Klosters, Prince Charles, Hugh Lindsay (an equerry to the Queen and his friend), a respected guide and Patty Palmer-Tomkinson went skiing off-piste. They encountered an avalanche in which Major Lindsay lost his life. According to this episode, the tragedy inspires Prince Charles to the conclusion that he wants to get out of his marriage and unite with Camilla, even though she is still married. Meanwhile, Diana declares that Charles’s near death makes her realise how much she would have missed him, so she declares that she wants to make it work.There is mention of the affair she had with James Hewitt and they suggest that she has dropped him. In fact, it wasn’t until 1992 that Prince Charles considered separation. And in real life the Princess of Wales blamed Prince Charles for this accident by taking Lindsay off-piste. She refused ever to return to Klosters and was dismayed that he did.Were Charles and Camilla meeting regularly at Highgrove by 1988?✅ TRUEAccording to the evidence, Charles and Camilla were seeing each other again by 1986. This series takes the Diana line that Charles and Camilla were in touch all the way through the marriage. Viewers should be cautious to accept this without question. They will see an angry Prince Charles, sometimes yelling at his wife, aggressive and demeaning to her. What is largely omitted is any account of Diana’s well-documented distressing behaviour, including tantrums and insecurities. The Crown clearly presents a one-sided portrait of the marriage.Were there several meetings between the Queen and the Waleses to discuss the crumbling marriage?❌ FALSEVarious meetings are shown in which the Queen discusses the predicament in which the Waleses found themselves and tells them to pull themselves together. In reality these did not take place. Until Prince Charles realised that Diana had been directly involved in the publication of Morton’s book, Diana – Her True Story, in the summer of 1992, he maintained a façade, and the hope that there was a way for the marriage to continue in some way or another.The Dimbleby line on this was that the royal family were aware of “the princess’s distress”, but did not wish to interfere. So there was no summit meeting with the Queen, Prince Philip and the Waleses until June 1992.Episode 10Did Thatcher try to get the Queen to dissolve parliament to save her skin at the time of the leadership crisis in 1990?❌ FALSEOf course Thatcher did no such thing. It is well known that when Geoffrey Howe resigned and delivered his devastating resignation piece (faithfully shown by The Crown), Thatcher faced a challenge to her leadership from Michael Heseltine. The outfall for that is well shown — the meetings with ministers, her gradual realisation that she must go, but then they introduce this nonsense.In The Crown they have her telling Denis that she has one card up her sleeve. So she goes to see the Queen and asks her to dissolve parliament and therefore call a general election. Theoretically she could have done that, and technically the Queen could refuse. But it never happened, nor would it have done.Was the Queen angry when Thatcher was ousted by her ministers in 1990?✅ TRUEThere is a genuinely moving scene in The Crown in which the Queen summons Thatcher to see her, and she presents her with the Order of Merit. I remember being told at the time that the Queen was not pleased by the way they got rid of Thatcher. So the line “I was shocked by the way in which you were forced to leave office” is spot-on. People have persisted in thinking the Queen and Thatcher did not get on. The Order of Merit is in her personal gift, as is clearly explained here, and her gift of it is evidence of her respect for her first female prime minister. Thatcher was surprised and delighted to be offered it.If further evidence is required, the Queen appointed her a Lady Companion of the Order of the Garter in 1995 — again her personal gift. She attended her 70th and 80th birthday parties and was present at her funeral in St Paul’s Cathedral in 2013. The only other prime minister whose funeral the Queen has attended was that of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965.Did Prince Philip try to comfort Diana during a miserable Christmas at Sandringham, then threaten her that it “wouldn’t end well” if she left her marriage?❌ FALSEIt is true that by 1990 Sandringham Christmases were something of a strain for Diana, but she was there to be with her boys. In this episode Prince Philip visits her in her room for a comforting conversation. She tells him that if Prince Charles and the royal family can’t give her the love and security she deserves, then she will have no option but to break away officially. He advises her not to with the ominous words: “Let’s just say — I can’t see it ending well for you.” To which she responds: “I hope that isn’t a threat, sir.”In truth, the real Prince Philip did intervene to help Diana, but not until the summer of 1992, when the royal marriage became a crisis after Morton’s book. There was an exchange of letters between them. He did everything he could to find a way to keep the marriage intact. There was not a hint of a threat in any of them (I have read them).The Queen is shown in several episodes in a magnificent uniform for various Birthday Parades (Trooping the Colour). Did they get that right?❌ FALSEIn the opening sequence of The Crown the Queen is shown in the uniform of colonel-in-chief, Grenadier Guards — a grenade on the collar, a white plume in her cap and buttons in ones. She wears the Garter riband and star. It pops up in several episodes.The first trooping portrayed was June 1979, when it was the colour of the Scots Guards being trooped, so they have dressed her in the wrong uniform — it should have been a thistle on the collar, no plume, and buttons in threes. When the Scots Guards colour is trooped, she wears the dark green riband and star of the Thistle. At the 1979 trooping Prince Philip also wore the green Thistle riband. In The Crown he wears the Garter.At the 1982 trooping the Queen is shown riding along as a grenadier again, so a grenade on the collar, and buttons in ones. But this time they give her the plume of the Welsh Guards (white/green/white). It should have been a Coldstream Guards uniform, a Garter star on the collar, a red plume and buttons in twos. With their massive budget and their various advisers, the film-makers could so easily have tweaked these and got them right.In real life the Queen had five separate Guards uniforms, one for each of the five regiments of which she was colonel-in-chief — Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh (in that order).
《王冠》第四季,有着鲜明的“变”与“不变”。
变的是不同于前三季“欲戴其冠 必承其重”的一贯主题,而是将所有笔墨聚焦王冠为保护王权的中心对周边造成的巨大伤害,玛格丽特、查尔斯、戴安娜、表兄妹家族,甚至还有新闻发布官迈克。
在王冠耀眼的光环之下,那些被王冠阴影终生笼罩的人和事、那些细节、那些角落被一一呈现。
这一季,一改以往的中立、克制与冷静,主观镜头俯拾皆是,酷冷且凉薄。
不变的是它仍然不屑于那些耳熟能详的大事件大故事,而始终关注着作为个体、作为独立的人在这些事件和变故中的反应、表现和不被看见的复杂的内心。
花重金还原的世纪婚纱只出现了侧面的几秒钟的剪影,结尾也不如预想的那样展现童话的破裂,只定格在戴安娜孤独的背影,但却用细腻的笔触为我们勾画出我们看不见的那个女王、那个撒切尔、那个查尔斯、那个戴安娜。
客观与主观,本就不是对立的,在以现世的王室为主题的电视剧中,其实所有的表达和诠释都是主观的、再创造的,因为完全的真相和事实只有当事人知道,而在一部美剧中看到完全的真相和事实既毫无必要也混淆了纪录片与影视作品的不同。
以基本史实为依据,用艺术的手法不求逐一还原只求艺术展示地表现这些站在聚光灯下的特殊的人,并赋予他们普通人的喜怒哀乐,《王冠》已然取得了一部电视剧可以取得的非凡的成功。
一切作品,都是艺术家对现世的自我理解。
我们看到了这样的理解,并沉醉其中、深深理解。
查尔斯英俊聪明、很有才华,本质只是个缺乏爱和认可的小男孩,内心敏感脆弱,却生下来便是皇室的长子,众目期盼,遇真爱而不得。
第六集他和女王一起在庭院畅谈诗意时,母亲眼里的无感,竟让我有了一丝怜惜。
不谈社会伦理道德,卡米拉是可以满足他的情感需求的,而戴妃相比起来天真烂漫、自由活泼,却同样缺乏爱与安全感、自我约束的能力,在错误的位置上没有退路可选、没办法抵挡来势汹汹的复杂与压力。
If not choose bend, only break. 不仅皇室,有时候现实社会的高墙也是让人如此。
人也只能自渡,就如撒切尔女儿问她为什么偏爱儿子时,她说得那样“如果自己能力本身捉襟见肘,别人是帮不了的”。
这个铁娘子出生在偏远小镇,退休后成为大英帝国的首相。
我不认可她的冷漠功利与现实,却佩服这个铮铮铁骨的勇气与决心。
而我们爱戴女王,就是因为她的格局与慈悲。
尽量两个女人如此巨大的冲突与不同,当撒切尔夫人被迫退位时,女王仍召见与认可她的成就。
这一季也是对那个是否适合进入皇室圈子测试结果的反讽,一个史上最高分的黛安娜终身被困,没有通过的撒切尔夫人却坚持了自我。
三十岁是而立之年,但查尔斯并没有能看清楚自己与所处的位置,因为这个测试茫然走进包办婚姻。
《倾城之恋》里有一段话是“你如果认识从前的我, 也许你会原谅现在的我。
如果能了解每个人的从前,也许什么都可以被原谅了。
一见面就觉得可憎之人,若看着他从一个小孩,如何一步步成为现在这样,或许也会心生些怜悯。
市侩俗气的,也许从小吃够了没钱的苦;冷漠的,也许受尽了冷漠。
” 从前几季追过来,会觉得他也只不过是皇室的牺牲品。
不管是王子、王妃或任何一个皇室的人也只不过都是outsider, 重要的是the crown, 即使女王本人很多时候也必须忍耐放弃以承其重。
生而为人,处处都有枷锁,或许是象征权贵的皇冠,或许是社会体制大环境,或许只是内心的贪嗔痴。
每个人都并非简简单单的好人或者坏人,对的人或者错的人,善良的人或者心怀恶意的人,温良的人或者危险的人。
接受人性多面且立体的事实。
只有当了解了对方的缺点或暗淡却依然选择参与彼此人生,才是一段关系真正开始的时候。
“人生若只如初见”和查尔斯及黛安娜的世纪婚礼一样,只是个童话泡沫。
降低对亲密关系不切实际的过高期待,认识到彼此只不过是处处受限的凡人,相互体谅包容,才能会有细水长流的陪伴。
最近理想国有一篇叫《年轻人的爱情死了,不是被“985相亲局”杀死的》的文章,提到“现在的社会,很多人认为相比于爱的感觉这种不稳定的情感因素,经济利益之类的考量在婚姻中似乎更加可靠。
当寻找爱情沦为寻找婚姻的工具,爱情本身也就变得可有可无。
个体将自己视为可以面向未来规划的项目,被要求为自己的失败负责。
爱所带来的伤害和磨难也就不再被我们接受。
” 皇室的婚姻才更喜欢童话、不能有失败,也不是每个人都对权利财富趋之若鹜。
没有光环也意味着轻松自在,作为一个普通人,希望都可以找到适合自己的位置,成为自己,找到平静。
之前在书店看书拍得,像极了被婚姻孩子绑住得两个不相爱的人
忍不住感叹Emma妹妹太像朱迪福斯特了吧!
建议以后演朱迪传记!
从第三季开始女王和菲利普就一直发糖,这一季只要他们俩在一块儿都很有点又搞笑又甜啊,女王说戴安娜给查尔斯跳舞庆生,很多高抬腿动作呢,菲利普说你怎么从来没给我跳过舞,女王一脸wtf我笑死了哈哈哈哈哈哈,然后女王说因为那个时候你有你自己的芭蕾舞女演员给你跳呢,简直反杀slay👏GA的撒切尔每次出来都像是降成了0.5倍速……最后完结看着戴安娜的泪眼想到现实的结局就有点感慨。
前三季好不容易积攒起来的对王室的好感到这一季都败光了。
所以前两季作天作地的菲利普最后是想通了,中心永远只有女王一人,其他所有人都是边缘人,其他所有人存在的意义都在于女王,而女王存在的意义就在于王冠,仅此而已。
于是他妥协了,fit in了。
可惜戴安娜再也没有机会了。
这世上千千万万人深爱你,偏偏是你的丈夫不爱你。
归根结底,她只是一个想要被爱的女孩子,仅此而已。
可是这个system偏偏就是不能容得一点人性。
女王找四个孩子单独谈话那集,看着那叫一个心痛,都养出来些什么样的人啊,看来看去,没有一个人能适合继承王位,于是女王暗下决心,我得活个一百八十岁(我瞎说的)。
想想如果女王真……接下来的这几个继承人可能搞着搞着就把王冠搞丢了。
第八集claire出来才发现真是十分想念她的女王。
而这一季也是olivia的最后一季了,以后肯定也会十分想念她。
olivia永远给人感觉就是Oh gosh她怎么这么可爱啊,第三季她把初恋搞成赛马经理,菲利普气得跑来强吻她。
第四季妹妹按她的铃,她急得娇嗔that's my bell!
她绝对是最不像女王的塑造者,却感觉特别喜欢能共鸣。
记得olivia拿奥斯卡之后上诺顿秀,诺顿说有种哎呀我们olivia终于被全世界看到了的感觉。
看完三四季现在很能理解这种感觉了。
唉,就这样结束了,心里空落落的。
The struggle Margaret was suffering and the contradiction with herself resonate every time with me. She desired for freedom yet wasn’t willing to give up her privilege,then she turned to materialism,indulging herself into addiction and fantasy.I really thoroughly love the individuality and character she had showcased.Her story shouldn’t be eclipsed by diana’s.
大家好,我是戴着眼镜拿着话筒的阿拉斯加,片片。
头铁、血厚的见得不少,但敢在生前就彩排葬礼,还不止一次的硬核玩家,世上少有。
“超长待机”的英国女王伊丽莎白二世就是这样的选手。
先来一张女王年轻时候的美图镇楼作为英国女王,她一旦驾崩,可是举国上下的大事。
而她的葬礼方案也不是这几年才制定出来的,早在女王34岁的时候,国家就开始为女王驾崩做好了万全准备。
女王在不同地点、不同时间离开人世的各种方案,早就整得明明白白。
但一晃半个多世纪过去了,女王送走了一届又一届政府,熬倒了无数当初跟她同时活跃在政坛上的政客,她仍然屹立不倒。
最近,以她的王者生涯为蓝本改编的电视剧《王冠》强势回归。
目前这部剧一共四季,评分最低的一季9.2分。
没看过前三季不要紧,片片先给大家总结一下。
前两季主要聚焦于女王的青年时代,父亲乔治六世猝然离世,彼时伊丽莎白正代替父亲在非洲考察,在慌乱中登上皇位。
女王尚且稚嫩,扑面而来的却都是惊天动地的大事儿:带领英国走出战争泥潭的首相丘吉尔卸任;
个人认为《王冠》里的丘吉尔不输任何一个影视化版本,刻画出了晚年敏感焦虑的丘吉尔妹妹玛格丽特公主爱上了有妇之夫,两人想要结合,玛格丽特必须放弃王室身份;还有从13岁起就陪伴自己的丈夫菲利普亲王出轨。
身处皇室,家庭问题就等同于国家问题,“内忧”和“外患”同时袭来,女王是焦头烂额。
第三季,中年版女王上线。
玛格丽特公主则由小天狼星的表姐贝拉·莱斯特兰奇饰演此时的女王显然更游刃有余,但时代进步飞速,生性保守的女王,有时却与这个日新月异的时代格格不入。
到了这一季,除了女王本人,导演把戏份分给了另外两位举世瞩目的女性——撒切尔夫人和戴安娜王妃。
主海报也一改以往女王是绝对主角的模式通过这几位女性的故事,《王冠》之所以季季封神的原因也水落石出。
其一就是见微知著。
虽然讲的是英国皇室,背景是国际上的种种风起云涌,《王冠》的切入点却无一例外,都非常细微,但直击要害。
撒切尔夫人执政的头几年,她的经济转型政策造成了英国国内失业率居高不下,怨声载道。
与国内局势截然相反的则是,在英国和阿根廷为争夺马岛主权爆发的战争中,英国大获全胜。
剧中没用一个马岛战争的镜头,或任何表现国民失业悲惨现状的画面,来突出这种反差。
当然也有可能是为了省钱。
(一个玩笑哈哈)取而代之的是撒切尔在国内备受人们认可,风头一时无两的画面。
电视画面里,撒切尔夫人正取代女王检阅部队与之形成鲜明对比的则是一件女王执政生涯非常小的波澜。
一名长期失业的中年男子,想通过政府人才市场找工作,但始终没有结果,只能靠打零工勉强度日。
他认为,现任首相撒切尔夫人的无能,把英国带向了深渊,于是他不断向国会反映问题,却始终没有得到回应。
某天,求助无门的他竟突破了白金汉宫的安保系统,闯进女王卧室,想直接找她谈话。
但当天女王碰巧不在白金汉宫,安保人员也没有抓住他。
过了些时日,男子再次闯入。
这回,他终于见到了女王。
女王虽然非常惊恐,但仍然跟他进行了十几分钟的谈话,他通过这个契机,向女王传达了底层真正的声音。
与女王见证过的其他历史相比,这件事实在显得微不足道。
却把当时英国外强中干的现状刻画出来。
再举一个例子。
皇室的种种宫闱秘事前几季已经讲了太多了,皇室成员也是人,不可能永远精准、不出差错。
但为了维护皇权,不让人有机会质疑宪政,皇室必须假装完美无瑕。
皇室的表面夫妻远不止这一对这才有了玛格丽特公主无法与真正爱的人相守,人们对菲利普亲王的风流韵事也都避而不谈。
但你以为被掩盖的只有种种丑闻?
身为皇室,连基因都有可能要被藏起来。
一个偶然的契机,玛格丽特发现,自己有五位表姐妹生活在精神病院,而且这几位表亲在很多年前就被宣布死亡了。
知道真相的玛格丽特非常愤怒,找到母亲对峙。
母亲这才道出真相,原来,这几位表亲的精神疾病源于家族遗传。
如果世人知道了皇室血统中有如此大的隐患,那么本就岌岌可危的世袭制很可能再次遭到质疑,因此,皇室隐瞒了这几位表亲的存在。
也就是说,生而为皇族成员,从出生起,整个人就只剩下社会性,而失去了个人属性。
甚至连基因,都要为皇室、为统治服务。
如果你不符合标准,对不起,只有一个下场,那就是被和谐。
几位并不重要表亲如此,身处皇室中心的女王以及她的伴侣、子女更应如是。
如果说王室身份要求女王一家人抹去自己的人性,那么《王冠》另一个厉害之处就在于,集中展现了人物在理性与感性之间挣扎。
在几乎封神的皇权面前,这种挣扎更显示出了人物的丰富。
比如,哪怕贵为王室,家族成员之间也在暗暗角力,都想成为更光彩、更有权威的那个。
女王和撒切尔夫人政见不一,前者更倾向于无为,后者大胆果决,两人常常针锋相对。
某次,撒切尔夫人提到两人同龄,女王装着傲娇镇定地样子问道:谁更年长一些?
当得到自己比撒切尔夫人小半年的答案之后,女王表面上不动于色,却明显有被人压了一头的感觉。
这种较劲甚至体现在两个女人的服装上。
马岛战争大胜,撒切尔夫人正在政治生涯的最高峰。
女王一直对出征马岛持保留意见,但面对如此战绩,她完全被气焰高涨的撒切尔夫人压制。
深蓝色套装也是撒切尔夫人的标准性造型两人一个着深蓝一个着浅蓝,浅蓝被深蓝完全压制。
而等到撒切尔夫人政治生命的尾声,她面临国会质疑,如果没有女王支持,被迫下台几乎成了定局。
但女王没有伸出援手,她选择让政治体制自己去运作、疗伤。
这一次,深蓝浅蓝调换。
谁强势谁弱势,一目了然。
这种暗暗较劲几乎存在于每一个皇室成员身上。
女王唯一的女儿安妮公主,性格非常耿直,作风严肃。
因为她热心慈善,并且是一名职业马术运动员,曾代表英国参加过奥运会,很受国民爱戴。
这位公主可是货真价实的运动员然而,明媚热情的戴安娜嫁入皇室之后,不免有人将两人放在一起对比。
相比不苟言笑的安妮公主,开朗、有亲和力的戴妃显然更受人们欢迎。
安妮公主也因此心生不满。
不仅是安妮公主,甚至是查尔斯王子都不能忍受自己妻子太过耀眼。
基本上地球人都知道,查尔斯王子和戴妃的婚姻差不多就是一场骗局。
查尔斯钟情曾有过婚史的卡米拉,但为了维护皇室的体面,他的王妃必须是一个背景简单、性格纯粹的小女孩。
这个女孩儿正是戴安娜。
这还原度也是没谁了但这对强扭的爱人婚后都有各自的情人,尽管婚姻一度到了走不下去的地步,为了维护王室尊严,两人被迫成为表面夫妻。
戴安娜想和查尔斯重修旧好,因此在庆祝他生日的演出上大秀舞技。
人们倾倒于王妃的魅力,但看台上的查尔斯却不买账。
他强颜欢笑着,内心其实非常不满自己这位抢眼的王妃,风头几乎盖过他这位准国王。
随后,王妃独自访问美国,美国国民都对这位大方亲民的王妃充满好感,反响非常热烈。
外界看来,戴安娜是个完美的王妃,卡米拉也自愧不如,这更是激怒了查尔斯,让他们的婚姻彻底堕入冰窟。
圣诞夜,女王一家欢聚一堂,合照时,为皇室赢得颇多好感的戴妃,却像个局外人一样格格不入。
是不是差点就找不到人前闪耀的戴妃这时,身在高位的孤独与无奈被渲染到了极致。
观众也终于看到,神圣不可动摇的皇室里,有的只是一群被命运抬到这个位置上的普通人。
他们同样有贪欲、有私心、有嫉妒。
因此,看这部剧能看到的不仅仅是风起云涌的大历史,还有诸多鲜活生动的人物。
也正是在要求光明、完美的王权映衬下,才更突显人性的复杂、微妙。
这也是这部剧之所以一直保持高水平的原因。
第五季,观众熟悉的乌姆里奇教授将出演老年伊丽莎白二世,《信条》里身高190的美艳女主会出演更为成熟的戴安娜王妃。
我已经迫不及待想看主创怎么演绎戴妃离世的大戏了。
当然,如果想继续看视频解说这部剧,听我掰扯女王在位这六十多年来,波澜壮阔的历史,点点在看,呼声高的话,一定视频伺候。
今天就聊到这儿,拜了个拜本文图片来自网络编辑助理:阿苏
撒切尔夫人演得真尴尬😅
这一家人真的太可怕了,充分说明王冠异化人的能力。希望世界上所有像查尔斯这样的渣男都能早点死。
3.5 S4很多吐槽点。这季戴安娜查尔斯的情节比重很大。皇室拿一个还涉世未深的小姑娘制造了体面,同时又对其筑起壁垒,对戴来说是很冷酷。婚姻里的查尔斯太渣,不想尽婚姻责任又付诸冷暴力、伤害。又:自查尔斯这代,英王室会没落无疑,因为裂痕自他开始,又无能力凝合。再多少年后如果象征性的王权一塌,缺失了聚合性,英国必然散崩。
制作还是精良的,奈何王室真的没有意义的故事可讲了呀
三点五星,戴安娜登场后,整个王室都显得面目可憎,说话刻薄,待人市侩。觉得最好的是第六集,整个四季里面,难得的从小人物的角度看王权。这季用了两次鲜明对比,一次是fagon,一次是被抛弃的有残缺的表亲。
没办法,八卦总是更受欢迎。此前对丘吉尔的刻画如此之丰满,高位之上的人们,对决的峰回路转,让人仿佛亲身感受到时代之风猛烈拂过。这一季呢?厚此薄彼的安排,撒切尔与女王纷纷从你的全世界路过,似乎结尾还友好握手了?如风过耳,留下一片模糊。
女王这一季真的是配角啊,这一季只有2个人撒切尔和黛安娜.黛安娜和查尔斯的婚姻简直太悲剧了,黛安娜太年轻被虚荣蒙蔽了,等她意识到的时候已经来不及了.而撒切尔的刻画也不太好,显得撒切尔不是强硬而是一种强权的样子.最爱的还是玛格丽特.
对真实的戴安娜美化太多了
腻了
虽然是冲着著名狗血三角恋看的,但这十集中我最爱的还是第五集失业产业工人勇闯白金汉宫的故事,在这十集王室秘闻中,只有这一集是最接地气也是最残酷的反应了英国的衰退,给了观众这部剧集确实发生在当前时空(其实是30几年前)的真实感,而不是出于一个平行宇宙的幻想泡泡中
困惑的点在于亲王对小戴童鞋说的话:这个家庭里所有人都在空虚 只有一个人是我们赖以生存的氧气。。。王室成员真的有那么空虚吗……为什么不去念书呢?不用为生计工作专心做个学术课题啥的一辈子都有啃不完的精神食粮了……
封建残余的君主制该被取消了。
王室的迂腐冰冷做作一览无余
戴安娜+撒切尔。不太了解戴安娜的真实故事,片中的她眼神太飘,有点像默片里的妖妇。查尔斯看来对情妇是真爱?剧中的撒切尔似乎不讨喜,不知道现实中如何。依然是那个问题,王室中既然每个人都那么不自由不快活,为什么不赶紧削发为民!我看到的是一个个肉眼凡胎与平民别无二致的人性和欲望,一天无所事事的打猎,搞外遇,参加趴体。。不明白为什么保留!
我只是有点疑惑,为什么首相是撒切尔的时候就那么事无巨细地展示她的生活,而其他的首相就一笔带过?只是展示他们与女王的交往,或者收到的谗言?有病吧编剧。爱玛科林真的太太太好看了,明白当时为什么都磕查尔斯戴安娜了,但是查尔斯不配。后面的剧本啧……
咋说呢,本该出彩的撒切尔、风范没演出,老态龙钟的莫名其妙。戴妃那一低头的眼神形似神不似,灵气诠释成心机婊。查尔斯懦弱又渣出天际,戴妃越闪耀、查婊越扎心,长期缺失的认同感只能在如母似姐从不忤逆的卡梅拉身上寻找。这一季真是太不治愈。
我服了到第四季我是算明白了这一家人真的太惨太恶心太离谱了
不懂扮演撒切尔夫人的演员为什么全程歪着脖子和模仿梅姨饰演年老时撒切尔夫人的嗓音。撒切尔夫人只比女王大半岁,听声音可以演女王奶奶了。歪着脖子只能看出演员对这个角色的偏见。
所有的人物和故事都集中在王冠之“重”,可悲的是中国故事只会去讲杀伐统治、、、这就是差别吧。另加:菲利普亲王爷爷去世了20210409
S4E5就是《小丑》,还补齐了《小丑》的社会语境。这一季女性群像好看。有一个视听主题是框,所有人都被宫廷门框、窗框、画框、报纸、电视所框住,只有一个在旷野中仰视人脸的场景,那是戴安娜在这一季中仅有的几分钟真正幸福的时刻——虽然很可能建立在一个谎言之上。
