王的男人

人们走在错误的期望寻找前两个电影的“智慧”。这部电影是一个优秀的复述历史的一战。在场景中的细节Gavilo普林西普,我知道我们都在。首先,在维基百科上看他。看看这幅画。演员钉。第二,发生了刺杀Archiduke费迪南德几乎完全描绘——投掷炸弹,错过但炸毁后面的那辆车,公爵逃去市政厅和给他们一个演讲和尝试他的想法,然后他的车让一个错误的把摊位面前的普林西普立即拍摄公爵和他的妻子。这部电影或多或少地显示所有的轻微的调整以适应复述。拉斯普京在现实生活中是一个疯狂的电影,描述的更疯狂。儿子的场景几乎死去,拉斯普京控制似乎医治他的沙皇和他的妻子也在。 Again, check out photos of the real Rasputin. The movie nailed it. This film gives reasons behind these events that are obscured by history. No one knows if Princip and the Young Bosnians were controlled by state actors or someone else. No one knows how Rasputin healed the Tsar’s son (he actually had hemophilia) repeatedly. It’s true that he held major influence over the Tsar due to his unique (perceived) ability to heal the boy. The movie gives reasons (man in shadows using agents to cause war) It’s also true that if someone in the shadows wanted Germany to win the war they would’ve needed to: 1- get Russia to pull out, and 2- keep the US out. The movie shows this. The movie mentions the downing of an ocean liner by German u-boats provoking the US. This really happened: it was the Lusitania. The movie villain’ s solution was to convince Germany to send a telegram to Mexico asking them to invade the US. This also happened! Rasputin really did play a role in Tsar Nicolas’s downfall, and was killed in a manner very similar to what was shown. He was invited to a dinner party where first he was poisoned, but the poison did not have any effect. Then he was attacked and eventually shot. His attackers thought he was dead but he later leapt up and ran out. They chased him, shot him again and dumped him in a river. Of course he was no master fighter in real life, but for the movie to nail those details was impressive! This British really did intercept and decipher the German message to Mexico, as shown in the movie. The US didn’t believe the interception was real at first, also shown in the movie. To weave all this together with two fictional behind-the-scenes forces tugging the strings in spy proxi battle was far more enjoyable than the fight scenes themselves. The son, Conrad, getting the white feather treatment for not going to war… that happened! Young women would give white feathers to young man that hadn’t joined the war and would call them cowards. The feeling he had of wanting to go to war - that was the mood of the era. That was before anyone knew what war really was like. The movie gives Conrad a taste of the war and he falls apart regretting ever going there. He realizes he had serious misconceptions of what war truly was. The movie failed to capture the horror of life on the frontline but tried in brief snippets to give a sense of it. Here, also, the movie conflicts itself. Conrad realizes his error all too late and dies. The message from his story was the lesson of that generation, which his father captured in the poem he read during the funeral, ending with the line: To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori. That is, the glorification of war is a lie. The phrase “it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country” is a lie. You would think the Duke took that message to heart and would stick to his pasifism after that. But after crying for a while, one visit from the king and he’s back up and fighting for king and country. Anyway, other than the thematic slip up, this movie was a fantastic historical fiction retelling of WWI. The movie even has Stalin and the revolution finally take Russia out of the war, and the grisly end to the Tsar and his family. If you don’t know all the history, check out Dan Carlin’s Blueprint for Armageddon series. It’s a long podcast but it will give you an entertaining background of WWI. In fact, this movie hits so many of the beats from that series that I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that the director based the story in part on that very series. Anyone who enjoyed that podcast will get a kick out of this movie. Listen to it, then watch the movie again and you will see it totally differently.

第一次世界大战,没有很多的电影,和一些我看到有一个非常有限的范围(葛丽泰·嘉宝玛塔·哈里的画面。尼古拉斯和亚历山德拉,例如)。我喜欢这部电影如何将所有的事件并解释它们如何互相影响。显然相当多的是,但建议青少年他们查一下,了解更多关于什么是真的,什么不是能给这部电影真正的教育价值。有一些有问题的材料。大多数情况下,整个序列,父亲问他的儿子勾引Rasputin。但是父母与孩子看这个可以以后讨论。同时,上个季度的这部电影不是很有趣,因为它抛弃了历史教训的好间谍与坏间谍,坦白说主要反派角色是非常无趣的。在这个网站我希望教育价值是一个类别。我想很多的内容将是不可接受的教育背景下的纯娱乐是可以接受的。
