1、Movie report of the young victoria 年轻的维多利亚 影评Movie report of the young victoria Her full name was Alexandrina Victoria, and she was heir to the British throne at the tender age of eighteen. Victorias mother, the Duchess of Kent, kept Victoria tightly cloistered from courtly influences from an early

2、age. She hoped to mold her daughter into reflecting her own personal beliefs and not the beliefs of the current king. The Duchess most trusted advisor, Sir John Conroy, only encouraged this paranoid protection of the princess, nearly preventing her from attending King Williams birthday party, the la

3、st one of his life. Her life was pulled first one way and than another, decisions made for her. Even Prince Albert was introduced to her from matrimonial hopes on the part of her Uncle Leopold, King of Belgium. Despite the urgings of her mother and Sir John to sign over regency powers, Victoria stoo

4、d strong. The morning after King Williams death, she was crowned Queen of England. Now Victoria must contend with the warring factions of the court and parliament, including the seductive nuances of Lord Melbournes attempts to win her support. She finds herself quite alone, unable to trust her mothe

5、r and certainly not Sir John Conroy. All Victoria can do is hope she makes the right decisions, one of them being to allow Prince Albert a permanent place in her life. Positive Content It cannot be an easy thing to rule a country, even as a figurehead. The individuals in Victorias life tried their h

6、ardest to stifle her spirit. But Victoria remained strong. She never allowed herself to be pushed to the point of hopelessness. She knew that something better was just around the corner. Victoria learns to trust in this film. She thought she could handle the crisis alone, only to discover that she c

7、ouldnt. But instead of thoroughly trusting the politicians near her, she chose instead to put faith in her husband. Her realization of Alberts usefulness was slow in coming. But once it did come, Victoria did not waste time. He was the man she went to for counsel, bringing their marriage even closer

8、 together. This is a positive film about how true love can spring from adversity. Negative Content Many British films of a courtly nature overflow with unfortunate content. “The Duchess” or “Marie Antoinette” are good examples of a great idea gone horribly wrong. Not so in “The Young Victoria.” Whil

9、e there is some content, I was pleasantly surprised at its cleanliness. A few instances of violence do intrude, but nothing extreme. Victoria is manhandled as a young lady by Sir John Conroy. This, of course, makes her very uneasy in his presence throughout the rest of the film. A young man takes a

10、bullet for another individual. An angry mob gathers outside Buckingham Palace at one point, hurling stones and breaking windows. Victoria herself even throws a few tantrums, either at her mother or once at Prince Albert for what she saw as his interference in her affairs. Deceit plays a large role i

11、n “The Young Victoria.” You cannot have politics without politicians. Unfortunately, Victoria makes some very poor and petty choices in this film, but, more importantly, she learns from those mistakes. Conclusion I know next to nothing about this historical period. I understand that a few alteration

12、s were made for filmographys sake. But I also understand that “The Young Victoria” impressed me more than I ever expected and definitely peaked my interest to learn more about her. The entire film was presented in such a way as to make any viewer curious about Victorias real life experiences. The cinematography is stunning, as are the costumes. If you have any interest at all in British royalty, this film is a perfect place to start. 3班 吴冰姿 1015010305
