用户评论
Two human beings, in flesh and blood, but also representatives of their offices. 结尾给我的震撼原来始终就是作者写作的初衷,太强了,能够把自己的概念完整地传达出来的作者真的好棒。啊我可真喜欢看作者自序
能感觉Morgan对女王深深的喜爱,整篇用PM的对话串起了时代里的大事件和女王的立场。给Wilson的篇幅最多,女王的偏爱给了很了创作空间,他机敏又很有说话的艺术,大概对话是整篇最轻松愉悦的片段了,但他年轻时的过目不忘到后期的阿兹海默还是有点难受。很喜欢女王和过去的自己对话的设计,短短的对话塑造了智慧而通透的形象,她非常清楚自己与PM的关系,在很多事务虽然立场不同观点不一,还是选择支持自己的PM,几个小片段也选的很好,一个是Eden对话里的Suez Canal危机,Eden整个赤裸裸一强盗形象还很暴躁;一个是撒切尔反对南非种族隔离制裁事件,感觉作者也没有特别踩拉谁,只是隐晦提到撒切尔儿子与南非的生意来往;还有卡梅伦谈脱欧。终于知道the queen里的stag的隐喻,原来是女王自己。
Act I的结尾没有舞台剧时候的女王加冕来得有气势
以小见大。
很有意思。女王的视角,时间的交错,加上一些witty的小对话。反正我是喜欢大英小剧的感觉~
