王冠第一季

美国人投资拍的英剧，本来会有所怀疑其成色。

但放映过后，即使是“网剧”，也丝毫不亚于BBC的作品，所有豆瓣会有9分以上的高分，拿开有色眼镜的群众眼睛才是雪亮的。

花了一周的空余时间撸完全季，看了一下时间，已是00:09。

感叹一下，第二天早上再写剧评吧。

第一季的时间节点放在二战前后，由于是纪实类的电视剧，情节大多尊重史实。

所以给我们这些观众一个温习英国史的机会。

读大学的时候深感高中时历史课太短，一节课能讲完中国一个朝代，一节课也能谈完一场世界大战，朝代、战争前后的种种都被老师一句带过，让我这位历史迷好不过瘾。

但几年高等教育时间匆匆而过，工作之后，离开图书馆那浩于烟海的历史图书，才觉得读书的可贵。

但选择容易上手的历史书籍也很重要，这部电视剧也很容易上手，边看边查阅百度百科，渐渐能看出门道。

本剧围绕女王身边的人，亲属，近臣以及政府高官，线索千丝万缕，每一集也能保持主题不散，实在难得。

女王在登基过程中遇到的种种故事或危机，比如父亲的去世，比如与丘吉尔的相处，比如不省心的妹妹的爱情故事，比如渐行渐远的夫妻感情，还有控制欲极强的内侍。

年代离我们现今相去甚远，但依然会有我们熟悉的历史剧情，爱江山不爱美人的温莎公爵退位，丘吉尔重新上台，国王去世，女王登基。

殖民地慢慢瓦解，雾霾灾情严重，国内物资短缺，面对着内忧外患，女王只能通过自己的巡游给子民们生活的信心。

虽然丘吉尔一直活在二战的过去美梦里，虽然年事已高，但依然是年轻女王的好帮手。

每天向女王汇报国情动向，对女王关心的事情给予建议，估计丘吉尔的辞职女王会怀念。

相比之下前任艾德里以及后任艾登就弱很多，都整天想着丘吉尔下台，但下台之后碰到了苏黎世运河危机就又辞职了，所以丘吉尔的自傲是值得尊重的，所以他被评选为二十世纪英国最伟大的人物。

英剧的演员都不是很熟，但演技完全在线。

虽然有些与实际的人物并不形似，比如丘吉尔的身高，但依然很有力的为你展现历史人物的风貌。

观影过程中，你不会吐槽，你不能走神，你只会沉浸在当时的英伦故事里不能自拔。

期待下一季。

国内的剧，或台湾，日本的电视剧呈现的一般问题，总是考虑用最低制作成本为制剧第一优先，把大多数钱花到演员身上，艺人演员与制作费的比例常常在４：１以上，做出来的影片就像把芭比娃娃放在便利店的萤光灯管下拍摄，明明是粗糙画质与低劣演技却仍沾沾自喜的做了一个剧。

布鲁斯喜欢王冠这个剧的精致感，像电影般的经营剧情与画面。

打一开场就吸睛，不会想休息或转台，终于在这两周一堆烂剧停停看看的呕吐过程中，布鲁斯重生起来。

Crow是一开始就把规格定高了，所以从演员，制景，色调，历史风，重编真实历史事件，在大事件上描绘女王与每个角色的世界，看起来就特别舒服与入戏。

才看到第七集，布鲁斯就等不及要写感想了。

第一季的第七集，伊莉莎白因为对于自己从未受过正式教育而感到无法跟大臣，外国宾使流畅对应辩驳，因此找了个通识的导师，在一个政治的危机之中，伊莉莎白女王以为应该像原本一样，对发生的认识事情都保持沉默，但导师提醒她：你是对的一方，他们是错的去教训别人无关教育水准与才智这是诚信与原则问题你说你没有知识才能去对抗那些聪明人不，你有的。

你从小学宪法，比任何人都懂宪法这是你所有的知识，也是你唯一需要的知识运用宪法来做为你的基础好好的斥训那些大臣与首相

所以剧情结尾就是，伊莉莎白女王首次获得首相与大臣的尊重，有情也有理的把上位者教训了，而不失论点与礼节。

女王踏出的一小步，是她个人生涯的一大步，当然也是历史上的一大步。

最近在一个案子中，有个年轻制片，在事业与事情的处理上有些困扰，问了布鲁斯很多问题。

布鲁斯的回答，跟导师很像的。

做电影，可以是导演想怎么做就怎么做，纪录片是呈现你想呈现的真实，但广告片就要绕在广告核心目的上，我们开会资料最重要的ppm资料上，为什么呢？

广告片最终目的不是吹客户牛逼，抱代理代理商的大腿用的。

广告片是要完成“广告目的”，达成宣传上的目的，而这个目的是我们所有事情的决策与执行指标。

所以ppm资料上广告的核心目的，就是制片手中的宪法。

以之为规矩，画出方圆。

所以在广告片的生产链上，即使只是一个制片，还是可以站得住脚，在大家都该坚守的规矩之内，去跟客户提理由与想法，而不是什么都听客户的。

这想法一点也不反骨，而是诚信与原则问题，是一种敬业精神。

布鲁斯 杨

在看这部剧的时候正直美国大选开票，川普在美帝人民的震惊、咒骂、绝望中成功登顶白宫宝座。

我院的一位教授说:“We are witnessing the history”。

是啊，我们正在见证历史，2016年注定会是不平凡的一年，美剧《我们爱撕逼》已经落幕，韩剧《我和我的闺蜜》还在上演。

当我阅读历史的时候，总会感到自身的渺小。

当时间回到二战刚刚结束的20世纪40年代后期，你会发现这是一段波云诡谲的传奇岁月，纵使是高贵优雅的英国王室也不可阻挡时代的大潮。

英国王室不像中国古代的皇室权力滔天，在君主立宪制的制度下，英国王室受到了来自议会、教会、人民的各种约束。

王室不是为所欲为的代名词，而是荣誉、高贵和纯洁的象征，他们承载着国民的希望与幻想，他们必须完美无瑕。

但他们也是人，也有人性，这一顶王冠更像一把镣铐禁锢着他们，这就是所谓的“欲戴王冠，必承其重”吧！

就像伊丽莎白的祖母给她的信中所说的：最亲爱的莉莉贝特：我知道你深爱着你的父亲，我的孩子，我也知道你和我一样，对他突然地逝去悲痛不已，但是你现在必须将这些情绪暂时放下，因为你的使命（for duty calls），丧父之痛，刻骨铭心，你的人民需要你的坚强和领导，我亲眼目睹了三代伟大的君王，因不能划清私人牵绊和使命的界限而溃败，你一定不能重蹈覆辙，在你悼念你父亲的同时，你也要悼念另一个人，伊丽莎白·蒙巴顿，因为她已经被另一个人所代替，伊丽莎白女王，这两个伊丽莎白会经常起冲突，事实是，王权必须胜利，必须永远胜利。

（The Crown must win,must always win.）

本剧的开场是乔治六世为伊丽莎白公主的未婚夫菲利普王子授勋仪式。

菲利普王子是希腊国王乔治一世的孙子，也是希腊的王储之一，由于伊丽莎白公主是英国王室的准继承人，为了确保她未来继承王位后不会再继任另一个国家，所以菲利普王子必须放弃希腊王位继承权才能与伊丽莎白公主结婚，但在菲利普王子这个头衔之前他没有其他头衔，只是一名海军上尉，于是乔治六世册封他为爱丁堡公爵，以便他能迎娶伊丽莎白公主。

这桩婚事除了这个波折之外也并非一帆风顺，比如菲利普不忠的流言，以及伊丽莎白祖母和父母对菲利普四个姐姐都是德国籍王妃的猜忌。

1947年11月20日，菲利普与其表妹伊丽莎白结婚，两人都是“欧洲的祖母”维多利亚女王的玄孙。

在伊丽莎白继承王位后，他的头衔并不是女王的Husband而是：菲利普亲王殿下，爱丁堡公爵，梅里奥尼斯伯爵，格林威治男爵，最高贵嘉德勋章的皇家骑士，最古老和最高贵蓟花勋章骑士，大英帝国勋章的高贵主人和首席骑士，功绩勋章成员，澳大利亚勋章伴随，女王服务勋章额外伴随，天堂鸟勋章的皇家首领，加拿大武装力量奖章，女王陛下最尊敬的枢密院大臣，女王的加拿大枢密院大臣，女王陛下的私人侍从武官。

很绕对不对。

第二集中公主玛格丽特和国王合唱的那首歌叫Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered，出自1940年的音乐剧《好友乔伊》（Pal Joy），全文歌词是：I'm wild again, beguiled againA simpering, whimpering child againBewitched, bothered and bewildered am IHmm...Could not sleep, would not sleep'Til love came and told me I should not sleepBothered and bewildered am ILost my heart, so what of it?He was cold, I agree,He can laugh and I love itAlthough the laugh's on me.I'll sing to him, each spring to himAnd long for the day whenI'll cling to him, the warBewitched, bothered so bewildered am I

丘吉尔的悼念词写得太棒了，贴出来分享一下：When the death of the king was announced to us yesterday morning,there struck a deep and somber note in our lives,which resounded far and wide,stilled the clatter and traffic of 20th century life,and made countless millions of human beings around the world pause and look around them.The King was greatly loved by all his peoples.The greatest shocks ever felt by this isl and fell upon us in his feign.Never,in our long history ,were we exposed to greater perils of invasion and destruction.The late King,who assumed the heavy burden of the Crown when he succeeded his brother,lived through every minute of struggle with a heart that never quavered and a spirit undaunted.In the end,death came as a friend.And after a happy day of sunshine and sport,and after a goodnight to those who loved him best,he fell asleep,as every man or woman who strives to fear God and nothing else in the world may hope to do.Now,I must leave the treasures of the past and turn to the future.Famous have been the reigns of our queens.Some of the greatest periods in our history have unfolded under their scepters.Queen Elizabeth II,like her namesake,Queen Elizabeth I,did not pass her childhood in any certain expectation of the Crown.This new Elizabethan age comes at a time when mankind stands uncertainly poised on the edge of catastrophe.I,whose youth was passed in the august,unchallenged and tranquil glories of the Victoria era,may well feel the thrill in invoking once more,the prayer and the anthem,God Save the Queen.另外扮演丘吉尔的是美国演员约翰·利特高（John Lithgow），他还演了《星际穿越》中马修·麦康纳的岳父关于乔治六世口吃的故事大家可以参考：国王的演讲

关于爱德华八世爱美人不爱江山的故事大家可以参考：W.E.关于玛格丽特公主：1960年5月6日，玛格丽特在西敏寺大教堂与一位摄影师－安东尼·阿姆斯壮-琼斯成婚。

据说，在玛格丽特接受了阿姆斯壮-琼斯求婚的前一日，彼得·汤森对她说：打算娶一位比利时籍女子。

本剧的配乐是鲁伯特·格雷格森·威廉斯（Rupert Gregson-Williams），原声带在这：The Crown: Season Oneto be continued...

海报上面的那个女孩，黑白阴影之间，眉目轮廓清淡而凛冽，垂目低视。

这部不像美剧的美剧《女王》，乍一看，似乎是BBC出品，叙事节奏平缓，剧本扎实有力，带有一股浓浓的英伦味道。

虽然两部剧之间没有关系，但是，在第一眼，我即想起了那部《无人生还》。

也许是英国的风格太凛冽，但凡有一点相似，便会唤醒脑海中的回忆。

这部剧的故事从菲利普亲王迎娶伊丽莎白女王开始。

伊丽莎白二世，在中国，我们习惯调侃她的在位时间。

那位在二零一二年伦敦奥运会上从飞机上一“跳”而下，震惊了所有年轻人的高龄女王陛下。

她的父亲，乔治六世，同样是一位有名的人物，以口吃闻名。

二零一二年《国王的演讲》以大势之姿横扫奥斯卡，讲的便是这位国王的故事。

故事的幕布便是从这位国王身上拉开。

他病了。

他咳嗽、咳出了血沫子。

紧接着，他被诊断出肿瘤。

《王冠》第一季的叙事，主线其实不是女王与亲王的婚姻，而是这位国王的病。

也恰恰是这位国王的病，暗示了接下来，女王的登基。

在平时的新闻中，我们经常看到有媒体赞颂菲利普亲王与女王的爱情。

说，真正爱一个人，是为她放弃继承权，甘心守候在她身后。

那样的深情。

我们习惯了这样的符号。

仿佛这样的深情，是与身俱来的。

但是，在《王冠》中，在女王未登基之前，这位深知自己不久于人世的国王与菲利普的一番谈话，证明了菲利普同样是一个普通的男人。

他依然困惑，依然有自己的执着。

他也不甘愿放弃自己的前途与职责。

但是，他娶的人是女王。

相比起大部分人称颂的说，第一集最后乔治六世对菲利普说的话，是父亲对女儿的爱。

或许是我心太冷硬。

那就像是我们古代的王朝，父亲在死之前为儿子留下的一些贤臣。

乔治六世希望用自己最后的力量，帮下一任女王，解决后顾之忧。

比起后来女王的种种传奇，在未登基之前，她其实就像一个普通的女人，只不过，有着皇家的规范礼仪教养。

但是，在教堂里宣誓时，也会紧张得说不出话；在自己的爱情里面，也会不顾周围人的反对，执着地对自己的丈夫说“服从你。

”这个时候的女王，还未展露她的风范。

与其说，第一集是女王登基前的铺垫，不如说，是给乔治六世弹奏的欢送曲。

这样一位不敢在众人面前讲话的国王，“口吃”的国王，他或许是史上最有损礼仪的国王，但是，他一生为了国家而奉献自己。

得知自己肿瘤，即将不久于人世，他几乎连为自己伤心的时间都没有，化妆、掩盖自己的病容，和再度上任的丘吉尔会面。

他在努力维持一个作为国王的尊严。

直到那个圣诞夜晚，他知道了自己的肿瘤，当地的民众们遵从礼仪风俗，举着灯来为国王陛下祷告。

他终于红了眼眶。

大概，那是他一直拼命做好一个国王的铠甲之下，死亡来临之际，破冰而出的疲倦，与对这个国家的眷恋。

作者：蜘蛛约影（来自豆瓣）来源：https://www.douban.com/note/593642011/最近好多人跟美剧叔安利一部美剧，美剧叔看完第一集就和他们翻脸了——“能不能专业点？

”叙事像呼吸般平稳有力，史料和虚构如水乳交融，最重要的是，那股浓浓的英伦味道，装不了。

“这一看就是正宗BBC出品好吗？

”结果被打脸了。

Netflix剧集《王冠》，连乔治六世都是美国人演的。

网飞的老规矩，第一季十集，全部放出。

一口气看到第九集，不禁脱口而出一个字：爽！

好在，网飞继续土豪上身，投资1亿英镑， 后面还有5季。

据说，要换三个女演员，演出不同时代的女王。

这，才叫史诗大制作。

口碑已经爆裂，豆瓣评分9.2，高过一票美剧。

IMDb9.1分。

烂番茄的新鲜度91%。

整部剧集，就是一部讲述超长待机女王事迹的英伦王室正传。

有一定阅片量的人应该知道，这种为活人做传的剧集，简直是九死一生。

拍得太主旋律，观众受不了。

人为修改历史制造戏剧冲突，当事人受不了。

总之，几乎就是个不可能完成的任务。

但是这个不可能完成的任务，被《王冠》完美完成了。

有一种历史剧，看的是历史，虐的是人心，因为——唯真实最打动人心。

《王冠》不是纪录片，里面有大量与史诗不符的细节变化，但正是这种修改，令剧集反倒更加接近历史的真实。

“欲戴王冠，必承其重”第一季的故事，就是以伊丽莎白二世为首的英国王室的真实生活。

伊丽莎白在代替父亲去非洲考察的途中，惊闻父亲去世，连王冠都不知道怎么戴才好，就这样成为了伊丽莎白二世。

历史，比任何虚构的剧情都更加惊心动魄，还原历史，主要基于其场景的逼真，以及顶级摄影、服装、道具带来的视听盛宴。

被完美还原的历史感、精美无比的王冠、令每个人焦灼无比的历史氛围……没有一处不靠谱，为了让历史靠谱，满眼都是钱。

但是，绚丽的场景只是为剧集本身服务，《王冠》的角色塑造，也几乎是一本影视剧教科书。

尽管它的选角，处处是争议：几乎所有观众都说，这是他见过最高的丘吉尔和最丑的菲利普亲王。

丘吉尔的扮演者约翰·利特高，身高1.93米，丘吉尔的真实身高1.6米。

历史上的菲利普亲王，是有名的美男子，他的扮演者马特·史密斯，因为出演第11任《神秘博士》被人熟知，颜值还算有，但是和顶级美男子，差距有点大。

公认塑造最好的角色，一代名相丘吉尔。

第一集公主结婚时，老谋深算，最后一个到场。

伴随着音乐、掌声和女王的注视，缓缓进入教堂，尽显身份的与众不同。

第九集，全剧评分最高集，那个骄傲的丘吉尔，却在一幅画像面前终于承认了自己的衰老。

希特勒和纳粹都打不败的铁相，终于还是败给了时间，历史的沧桑感，尽在演员惊心动魄的演技里。

是的，惊心动魄！

当丘吉尔画像最终在火焰中被燃尽，连火焰也成为了表演的一部分。

同样奉献出伟大表演的，还有乔治六世。

一直到死，他都在想着怎样履行英王的职责，想着怎样让女儿顺利接过王位，同时，幸福地活下去。

他对菲利普亲王说的那句“你的工作就是给她幸福”，所有的父亲，听到都会泪奔。

国王与父亲，王权与人性，身体孱弱与灵魂坚强，几场戏而已，演得比汗牛充栋的历史文献更加清晰，也更加动人。

当然，还有第一季女王的主演克莱尔·芙伊。

长得一点不像女王，但是从无忧无虑的公主到身负重任的女王，她每一刻的表演都足够让观众相信，这就是历史中的伊丽莎白二世。

这样一群演员，就这样在历史和虚构的反复交错间，在安逸和危难的反复切换间，用强烈的真实感狠狠揪住了观众的心。

“王权必须胜利，必须永远胜利”这么厉害的剧集，编导团队怂不了。

编剧，是《女王》的编剧彼得·摩根，一部活的伊丽莎白二世及王室的字典。

第一二集由史蒂芬·戴德利执导，他的代表作你一定看过，《朗读者》、《时时刻刻》。

最打动人心的第9集，导演是《成为简·奥斯汀》的导演朱利安·杰拉德。

收官的第10集，导演是《霍金传》的导演菲利普·马丁。

这些导演风格虽然各有不同，但有一个共同的特质：故事扎实、角色丰满、影像的历史感精准到毫厘。

在统一的艺术把握下，整部剧集，如同出自一人之手。

如果是历史是任人打扮的小姑娘，那么《王冠》显然给了历史一副淑女的模样。

重要的不是场景 “真实到窒息”，而是角色、氛围和历史感“真实到窒息”。

剧集不是纪录片，因为每个人心里，都有一个伊丽莎白二世。

可是在正史和野史，事实和虚构之间，编导却最大程度地接近了那段历史。

剧集不是为英伦王室歌功颂德，而是像刻刀一样，近乎残酷地表现出历史的无情，这样才能让观众直观感受到，这些传奇人物，到底失去的是什么？

没有刻意煽情，也没有神话的高大上，每个普通人都能感受到菲利普亲王内心的不甘，伊丽莎白女王面对妹妹爱上有妇之夫时在王权和亲情间的无奈，还有，丘吉尔离开唐宁街时的落寞与无奈。

无论史诗还是传奇，能够为后人所理解的，都在人性。

英伦王室真正的高贵，不是在历史中一尘不染，而是经历过人性的深渊和王权的冲突，依然保持着王室的尊严和王权的尊严。

全剧最动人的台词，来自看着三位国王走上王位的祖母，在给还是公主的伊丽莎白的信中，她说出了这样一段话：在你悼念你父亲的同时，你也要悼念另一个人——伊丽莎白·蒙巴顿。

因为她现在已经被另一个人所代替，伊丽莎白女王。

这两个伊丽莎白会经常起冲突，事实是王权必须胜利，必须永远胜利。

当她面对新上任的女王，自己的孙女，完成对女王的跪礼，所有的观众都明白了这句台词的意义。

从历史真实中还原的人性，不回避人性与王权永恒的冲突，才让人了解了英伦王室何以在现代社会屹立不倒，这才是《王冠》最动人之处。

这部BBC范儿的美剧，豆瓣9.2都嫌低！

说它每一集都是一部《国王的演讲》，太夸张。

可是像第9集这样的品质，说它配不上奥斯卡，说不过去。

英女王的故事，还没讲完，我知道，你们最关心的故事，比如戴安娜之死，还得等等。

后面的5季，按照网飞的习惯，应该有50集——一段大英帝国的历史，60集，讲完。

咱们的武则天撕逼传奇，96集。

你想看哪一种王冠，美剧叔不知道，但是对于我来说，《王冠》这么牛的剧集，再久，也值得等。

我终于跑完了“观看〈Crown〉（《王冠》）”马拉松，到现在它更新到第四季，待播第五季，从乔治六世在位一直到伊丽莎白二世掌权至中年，女王把这条路越走越坚定，家庭中各个成员却迷失各自的迷失。

第一季其实是我最喜欢的一季，它把每个人物的自由和骄傲之间的挣扎讲得太好了。

为了完成婚姻的自主选择，被迫退位的温莎公爵有多爱损女王的继位仪式，就有多舍不得这本属于自己的王权，平衡自由与骄傲的方式，他选择了以无视、嘲讽的姿态对抗向往和遗憾。

这像人世间的任何事，它不仅会停留在王室里，它停留在任何地方，接受每一个选择的另一面，有的时候太难了，道理应是好事不能你一人占全，但落在真实生活时，平复我们的也许是激愤的情绪，是嘲弄的意味，总不会是那条谁都懂的道理。

玛格丽特公主这条线的故事，我看的时候，难过，鼻腔和眼睛都成了被堵塞的通道。

玛格丽特公主作为一个基督徒和王室成员，为自己和Peter的婚姻争取了些年，但四面八方的压力、威胁，最终还是将她压死在白金汉宫的森严之中。

她没有办法离开王室带给她的一切，最多她只能做到在内部进行对抗，她无法做任何外部的进攻。

接受，看似是一个平和地将往事压于箱底的姿态，但它反噬的力量却极大。

玛格丽特公主一生都在寻找有别于规则，最接近自由的情感和人，但她一生都没有得到。

自由当然会生长在被控制的环境中，但如果它冲不破这藩篱，它就一生都是被控制的自由。

也只有第一季对Mother Queen的挣扎做了表达，她想要在海边花100磅买下年久失修的城堡，和城堡主人的交谈中，她抛去头衔的交流最终被白金汉宫对自己的急召打断，城堡主终于知道她是谁的时候，Mother Queen哭着说，你终于想起来了。

这句话里有期待被认出，期待被俯首称臣，也有被认出后，对突然在彼此之间竖起铜墙铁壁的无奈。

最平凡的情感和最高的王权它大部分时候肯定是相悖的，我们是人类，所以无法真正生活在哪一个绝对的立场，我们只能生活在这个夹缝中。

Mother Queen在这个夹缝中，玛格丽特公主、温莎公爵、菲利普亲王、查尔斯王储，包括女王自己，他们每一个人都在。

在这四季中，他们每个人都会对王权更坚定，会更冷静，会讲些残酷的道理，但也并不影响他们总有那么几个时刻，是没办法说服自己的。

不仅是他们，我们也一样，没有一条铁律可以说服我们的一生，我们要不然不断被不同的东西说服，要不然不断用同一个理由去辩驳。

E1我以为我在看龙之家族。

亲王是同一人，都有寿命将尽忧心忡忡想要交班的国王，只不过国王和国王之手的关系融洽。

国家有这么糟糕吗，至于吗，皇室对国家有这么上心吗，打野鸭都心系朝政，国之大幸。

国王连交班都那么小心翼翼，害怕女儿承受不住。

e2至少皇上驾崩前一晚很快乐，终末期又打野鸭又打猎的。

女王刚登基里就感受到王冠的沉重。

高分剧情片通常都不太差，品质上乘，而高分科幻片动作片却常常是坑，与观众有关。

e3e4实习期的女王干得挺好，体现了很好的家教。

八十岁的丘吉尔仍然机敏老练，体制优势。

四天雾霾就差点把战争英雄丘吉尔拉下来了，三年（）却只换来了他歇斯底里地把电视机砸了。

温莎公爵是个刻薄英国人，爱给人起绰号，秀兰邓波儿、小厨子。

他的通信应是泄露了吧，不然哪来这么多他的刻薄言论。

e5菲利普亲王是个好丈夫，配得上女王的好家教。

国王加冕前与女儿讲话结巴了，恍惚了一下还以为是科林费尔斯，难不成英国也有特型演员，皇上专业户。

e6当年的电话行业有意思。

通讯不保密。

本剧有点像我读过的蒋经国传记，too good to be true 。

世界上还有这样好的人？

e7丘吉尔在不保密的通讯网络上与他的外交部长说情话。

每一集都拍得精致，既反映当时的重要事件，也反映君主制在其中的重要方面。

e8拍出了君主制的沉重，成为君主更需要克制，并不意味着自己可以为所欲为，把班子成员都换成自己的小兄弟。

实习女王在风起云涌的殖民地独立浪潮中掌好舵，维持江山永固不容易。

片名是具像化的王冠，内容是抽象化的王权。

e9有深厚珉煮传统的英帝国，丘吉尔在他的八十岁，都能如此盲目、自大，别的我都不敢想。

一张油画就把他劝下来了，我们（）都没能做到。

e10年轻人能把责任放在情感前面是极为困难的。

一整季都在讲王冠有多沉重，还是做随时能砸电视机还不用为此承担责任的（）好。

原文链接Series one, episode one: Wolferton SplashThe series opens with King George VI spewing blood into a lavatory pan, to indicate that he is a sick man. Before the opening credits, there is a scene in which the King invests Prince Philip, as Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Philip is described as a Prince of Greece and ‘of’ Denmark. Then the King knights him as he bestows titles on him in the wrong order, and only then gives him the Order of the Garter. There is a scene in which the King uses the ‘C’ word. We are introduced to the Prince Philip character, portrayed throughout the series as a kind of ‘Jack the Lad’, smoking a cigarette on the day before the wedding and treating it all as something of a game.This episode introduces the various themes. We see tension between the King and Prince Philip, we meet Group Captain Peter Townsend hovering amorously around Princess Margaret, and Princess Elizabeth preparing for her future role, at work with her father.At the 1947 royal wedding Prince Philip’s mother is depicted in a nun’s habit – in reality she was a civilian then and did not adopt the habit (which she wore at the Coronation) until 1948. But this allows Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother) to describe her disparagingly as ‘the hun nun’. But then she calls her daughter ‘Elizabeth’ when it was always ‘Lilibet’. There are scenes in Malta of Princess Elizabeth’s carefree life, though her son, Prince Charles, was not in Malta at that time.The King has to have an operation, so we see Princess Margaret waiting anxiously with Queen Mary and the King with his doctors. There are gory scenes of the lung being removed and the lung is wrapped up in a copy of The Times (a story gleaned from Hugh Trevor-Roper’s letters). There is a scene where Sir John Weir, the well-known homeopathic doctor, informs the King of the gravity of his illness despite the operation. It is curious that this role was assigned to Weir. In reality he failed to give the King proper advice. He was even mistrusted by the admirable Dr Margery Blackie, the most distinguished of homeopathic doctors, who had little time for him.In 1948 Dermot Morrah, a respected Times writer, reported privately that the King was in danger of losing his leg: ‘One special source of anxiety is his personal physician – a homeopathic quack with a fascination for women, some of whom planted him on Edward, Prince of Wales, who bequeathed him to his successor as official medical officer. Of course they’ve called in good men as consultants, Cassidy and Learmouth especially, but this old menace is there all the time, and it was he who let the trouble go to this length before sounding the alarm.’It was as bad in 1951, in which this episode is set. Weir accompanied the King to Balmoral for the summer. The worldly doctor enjoyed himself shooting with Scottish dukes. Only when the local doctor was called in was the gravity of the King’s illness appreciated, resulting in him being whisked down to London to have his lung removed. Following that, those who understood such things realised that the King’s life was likely to be short.This episode depicts Churchill becoming Prime Minister again (in October 1951), and suggests that neither he nor the King are in good health, the King is forced to wear rouge (which was the case). In reality it is not certain how much the King was told about his state of health. The episode ends with Princess Elizabeth looking at the King’s boxes, and in a sense facing her destiny.A minor mistake: Princess Elizabeth’s car has the royal coat of arms on it. This is reserved for the monarch. Lady Churchill’s GBE riband at the wedding is too red and too wide.Series one, episode two: Hyde Park CornerEpisode 1 warned us that the King’s life was in danger. Episode 2 carries him off. It starts with Princess Elizabeth arriving in Kenya on the first leg of the proposed Commonwealth tour she is undertaking on her father’s behalf.We see the royal limousine arriving at an event and the Royal Standard fluttering on the front of it, the inference here being that Princess Elizabeth has already become Queen, but no, it is the wrong Royal Standard. Princess Elizabeth’s would have had a label of three white points. Soon afterwards a cocky Prince Philip mocks a Kikuyu chieftain for wearing a medal to which he is apparently not entitled, in fact a VC, though this is not explained. This was in February 1952 and yet Prince Philip was wearing a 1953 Coronation medal, which, arguably, might not have mattered, but for the fact that he was chiding someone else for wearing the wrong medal.As they arrive at Treetops for the fateful night of 5/6 February, the Prince Philip character does a Crocodile Dundee feat in seeing off a bull elephant. In reality there were no elephants there that day or night.The scenes in which Lord Salisbury is seen plotting to get rid of Churchill have not been well received by the Cecil family due to inaccuracies. He would never have elicited the help of Lord Mountbatten, for example. Anthony Eden did not go to Sandringham to ask the King to exercise his constitutional right to remove the Prime Minister from office on account of his incapacity to run the country properly, least of all in February 1952. Churchill himself is given a fictitious secretary called Venetia Scott, so that she can play a role in Episode 4.Following the King’s death, we see a gruesome scene in which Princess Margaret visits the body of her father during the embalming process. Churchill did not broadcast in the presence of the entire Cabinet, yet his actual words are as moving to listen to today as they surely were at the time. Tommy Lascelles, the Private Secretary, is invested with a most sinister role. He is given good lines, such as when he passes on the Queen Mother’s offer to Townsend to become her Comptroller at Clarence House: ‘I don’t expect you to accept.’Minor mistakes: It was not Lascelles who told Churchill of the King’s death, it was Sir Edward Ford; Queen Mary was told by Lady Cynthia Colville, not by a footman; it is unlikely that Princess Elizabeth had just written to her father before hearing of his death; Queen Mary did not come to Sandringham to curtsy to the new Queen (that happened at Marlborough House); there is no evidence that Lascelles caught Princess Margaret and Townsend kissing; contemporary evidence proves that the Queen Mother did not cry hysterically when she heard of the King’s death (she was far too stoical); Martin Charteris did not disappear from royal service immediately after the King’s death (he became part of the team, though no longer the new Queen’s actual Private Secretary). Some of these things are acceptable under the heading of dramatic licence.Series one, episode three: WindsorBack we go to 1936, seeing Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret playing just before their uncle, King Edward VIII, broadcasts his Abdication speech. There is no way that Queen Mary would have come into the room to see the King to try to dissuade him from broadcasting. And Mrs Simpson was not hovering in the background as he made that speech. In reality she was in Cannes. In the real abdication speech he was announced as ‘His Royal Highness Prince Edward’ not as Duke of Windsor.Presently there are many scenes involved with the aftermath of King George VI’s death, the young Queen wearing black and sometimes a black veil, and Tommy Lascelles becoming ever more the dominant figure in the Palace.Two big issues are explored to show how Prince Philip no longer has any say in the running of his family. There are many scenes of the redecoration of Clarence House, and he wants the family to stay there. He insists that the Queen puts this proposal to Churchill. The other issue is the family name. It is understood that, in real life, the Queen and Prince Philip would have preferred to stay at Clarence House, which was the perfect London home for a young family, not too big, and with a well-sized garden. Buckingham Palace has always served multiple purposes: a series of state rooms, offices for members of the Household, and the King and Queen’s rooms along a long corridor on the Constitution Hill side. It must have been a bit like living in an Edwardian hotel. But Churchill insisted that the monarch must live in the Palace, and so they moved in on 5 May 1952. The Queen Mother moved into Clarence House on 18 May 1953.The name issue was another genuine cause for Prince Philip to be upset. As seen in this episode, Lord Mountbatten, curiously dressed for dinner in his own home (Broadlands) as an Admiral, boasts, with some justification, that the House of Mountbatten now reigns in Britain. Normally the male who marries a Queen Regnant gives his name to the new house, hence Queen Victoria was the last Queen of the House of Hanover which became Saxe-Coburg when she married Prince Albert in 1840. Prince Ernst August of Hanover was at Mountbatten’s table in 1952 and did not like what he heard. He informed Queen Mary who called for Jock Colville, then Private Secretary to Winston Churchill. The Prime Minister duly informed the Queen that the Royal House must be called the House of Windsor. There is a fictional scene in which the Queen reads out this declaration to the Privy Council.It is true that Prince Philip was livid about this though, in reality, he wanted it called the House of Edinburgh, rather than Mountbatten, the preferred choice of his ever-manipulative uncle. Harold Macmillan recorded that Prince Philip wrote a well-reasoned memorandum making his case, but the Government would not countenance the Mountbatten name being used. In opposing Prince Philip, ministers such as Macmillan were keen to send ‘a shot across his bows’, to keep the young consort in his place.The Duke of Windsor comes over for his brother’s funeral, and the series makes much of the newly styled Queen Mother’s hostility to him. The Duke of Windsor also wants various things. There is a lot of bargaining in this episode. The Queen asks Churchill to do her a favour by informing the Cabinet about the Mountbatten name, claiming that she is keeping him in office by agreeing to a delayed Coronation. In fact the Coronation was always planned for June 1953 as it takes a long time to arrange such a ceremony.Then Churchill asks the Duke of Windsor to help put various points to the Queen – for example to be an intermediary over the other two issues of this episode, the family name and the move to Buckingham Palace. In exchange, the Duke wants to retain the allowance King George VI promised him (which ceased at the King’s death) and again demanded an HRH for the Duchess. There is a curious scene in which three contrasting aspects of love are explored – we see a sequence with the Windsors dancing romantically, the Queen and Prince Philip at the opera (where he takes her hand), and Princess Margaret popping in to Townsend’s office to kiss him with some passion.The Duke of Windsor then lunches with the Queen, which did not happen in real life, and puts Churchill’s two points to her. Most erroneously, we find the new young Queen turning to the Duke of Windsor for avuncular advice. He is presented as a sage and explains in the almost Shakespearean language the scriptwriters give him why she, as a monarch, must move from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace.Alex Jennings, the actor, looks incredibly like the Duke of Windsor, but the real life Duke never delivered such Shakespearean oratory. Nor would the real Queen ever have asked for advice from a man so patently incapable of giving it.The Duke of Windsor had been immensely tiresome ever since the Abdication in 1936, and Tommy Lascelles had seen him off on more than one occasion, most effectively in 1945. The Royal Family felt gravely let down by the Abdication, and Lascelles wrote at one point in the 1940s that any appearance in Britain by the Duke would have a grave effect on the health and peace of mind of George VI. Later on, in real life, the Queen was courteous to her uncle, and various rapprochements were made before he died, but the trouble with the Duke of Windsor was that if he was given an inch, he would take a mile.In other themes, we see Prince Philip asking Group Captain Townsend to teach him to fly, a theme followed up in the next episode. He did learn at White Waltham, near Maidenhead, but was taught by Flight Lieutenant C.R. Gordon, of Cheltenham. He received his wings from Air Chief Marshal Sir William Dickson, on 4 May 1953, having flown for 90 to 100 hours.The film-makers also introduce the idea that Prince Philip bullied Prince Charles, which is again addressed in later episodes.Minor mistakes: Prince Philip was a descendant of the royal houses of Greece and Denmark, but not of Norway. King Haakon of Norway (1872-1957) was a Prince of Denmark who was given the Norwegian throne in 1905.A recurring mistake throughout the series: All the characters arrive at Buckingham Palace through the ceremonial front gates. Normally they enter via the gate to the right near Constitution Hill.Series one, episode four: Act of GodThis is a curious episode based on the great fog that descended on London between 5 and 9 December 1952. This fog caused some spontaneous burglaries and one murder. London was perfectly used to fog, so it was not treated as a particular emergency until much later when it was estimated that between 4,000 and 12,000 people died – though most of them had breathing problems or were very old. Most of this episode is fictional and did not happen. Obviously the scenes involving Churchill’s fictional secretary, Venetia Scott, were made up. She is killed when hit by a bus, but since there was no public transport, other than trains on the London Underground, due to the fog, this could not have happened.The film-makers then involve Churchill failing to take action, the question of Clement Attlee, the Leader of the Opposition, potentially turning the situation to political advantage, and Churchill’s decision to visit a hospital during the crisis, but all this is fiction too. Interestingly the fog did not rate a mention in Martin Gilbert’s official biography of Churchill.The other scenes involve Prince Philip learning to fly and Government annoyance at this. Queen Mary falls ill and takes to her bed, attended by Sir John Weir. The Queen walks through the fog to visit her ailing grandmother to discuss what is expected of her as a monarch.Series one, episode five: Smoke and MirrorsThere is a flashback to 11 May, with George VI explaining the significance of anointing in the Coronation ceremony, and talking of the weight of the crown, both actual and symbolic. The action then moves forward to 1953, with the Queen trying on the same crown before her Coronation.Queen Mary falls gravely ill, which brings the Duke of Windsor over. In this series he comes from France, though he actually came with his sister, the Princess Royal, from New York. There are lots of opportunities for him to complain to the Duchess of Windsor about his family, his mother and his treatment. The Queen is warned by the Queen Mother to be wary of the Duke – ‘like mercury, he’ll slip through the tiniest crack.’ During his visit, the Duke is summoned from Marlborough House to Lambeth Palace where he finds the Archbishop of Canterbury, Tommy Lascelles and one other, ranged against him explaining why he should not attend the Coronation and that the Duchess would not be invited. The Duke is furious, but he agrees to put out a statement explaining why he won’t be there.While he is at Lambeth Palace, a message comes through that Queen Mary has died. In reality the Duke was not at Lambeth Palace. Her funeral is shown (with the Royal Standard on her coffin, not her personal standard).In real life, the question of the Duke’s possible attendance preoccupied the Archbishop of Canterbury as early as November 1952 and he raised the matter with the Queen at lunch. It was agreed that his presence ‘would create a very difficult situation for everybody, and if had not the wits to see that for himself, then he ought to be told it.’ Churchill took the line that while it was understandable that the Duke would wish to be present at family funerals, it would be completely inappropriate for him to attend the Coronation of one of his successors. Tommy Lascelles wrote to the Duke’s lawyers making it clear that no summons would be forthcoming. A statement was prepared for the Duke to issue to save face, but he must have alarmed the British Government by giving an interview at Cherbourg in which he said he might well be in England at the time of the ceremony. As it happened he and the Duchess stayed in Paris and watched it on television with friends, a scene recreated in this episode. We see the Duke explaining the proceedings in the Abbey, again in Shakespearean phrases, to a group of undistinguished guests. The episode ends with him playing his bagpipes outside the house, with tears in his eyes, presumably to hint that he is regretting all that he discarded.The other main theme in this episode is the role of Prince Philip in the preparations and also in respect of the part he intends to play in the ceremony. Here he only agrees to chair the Coronation Committee if he has total control and we see him coming out with all sorts of modern ideas for the day, such as inviting Trade Union leaders and businessmen to take part. He is told that some things cannot be changed. There is a row with the Queen and he tells her he refuses to kneel before her to do homage. In the end he is obliged to do so, but he is given credit for insisting the ceremony be televised.Having written a book on the Coronation and delved into the Archbishop of Canterbury’s papers I can testify that these reveal the Archbishop of Canterbury, pushing Prince Philip out as much as possible. He pronounced: “There must be no association of him in any way with the process & rite of Coronation.” Yet they also show that Prince Philip was quite happy to do fealty after the Archbishop (when he could have been expected to go first) and that he presented a silver gilt wafer box to the Abbey, and a chalice and paten to Lambeth as a form of offering to respect taking his place next to the Queen during the communion.Unlike other flaky consorts such as Prince Claus of the Netherlands and Prince Henrik of Denmark, Prince Philip was raised within the Royal House of Greece. But for the birth of the future King Constantine in 1940, he would have ended up as King of Greece in 1964, and marriage with Princess Elizabeth would have been out of the question. In real life he adapted quickly to his changed circumstances, but in The Crown, they put him in conflict at every opportunity.The Coronation scene was a wonderful opportunity to create a scene of great visual magnificence but it fell seriously short in regard to a great number of details. Earl Mountbatten, seated in the front row of the Royal Box (he was not in the front row) appears dressed in ducal robes, and is not wearing his Garter collar. Nor is the supporting actor representing the Queen’s uncle, the Duke of Gloucester. The Marquess of Salisbury carries the Sword of State (which he did at the actual Coronation), but he crowns himself with an Earl’s coronet. The Dowager Duchess of Devonshire (Mistress of the Robes) fails to put on a coronet. The oath was not administered during the anointing but before it. There are a number of peeresses sitting where the Peers sat in reality. Thus this scene is one of the least convincing in the series.The St Edward’s Crown with which the Queen is crowned was far too big, but this may have been intentional to demonstrate the burden the Queen was assuming.Series one, episode six: GeligniteThe theme of this episode is the Princess Margaret – Peter Townsend love affair and their attempt to marry in 1953. The opening scene shows the Queen and Prince Philip going to the Coronation Derby, but we then see a newspaper office where an unshaven journalist has picked up what he realises is a huge scoop (hence ‘gelignite’) – Princess Margaret having been observed picking some fluff off the jacket of Group Captain Peter Townsend at the Coronation – he being by then a divorced equerry. Princess Margaret and Townsend are on the point of accompanying the Queen Mother on an official visit to Rhodesia.The Princess invites the Queen and Prince Philip to dine with her and Townsend and they believe that they have her blessing, but they soon run up against the establishment. Tommy Lascelles invokes the Royal Marriages Act of 1772, which stated that no lineal descendant of George II could marry without the consent of the Sovereign, and so Princess Margaret is asked to wait for two years. The series suggests that the Queen deceived her sister by appearing to support her wish to marry him and then eventually forbidding it. The film-makers imply that the Princess never forgave her sister, a theme which recurs in later episodes. The essence of this episode is more or less correct, but the sequence of events is somewhat muddled. Since there are also a number of contradictory accounts left by Peter Townsend, Tommy Lascelles, and Princess Margaret to her biographer, it is hard to settle on a true version, since that true version depends on which source is trusted.Lascelles appears at his most severe in this episode, a Satanic and menacing figure. This is an interpretation that might well have resonated with the real life Princess Margaret, not to mention the real life Peter Townsend.There is no doubt that Princess Margaret fell in love with the Group Captain. He was the trusted equerry of the father she adored and a Battle of Britain hero. He was rather a gentle figure. However, as Lascelles made clear to him in no uncertain terms, he had been placed in a position of trust and responsibility. He was a married man with two sons and he was considerably older than the Princess. The real Lascelles said of him: ‘He has Theudas trouble’, a reference to the Acts of the Apostles: ‘For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody.’ Churchill made it clear that the Queen could not sanction the marriage. So Townsend was sent away to Brussels, where he stayed for two years. By the time he returned in 1955, when the British public were agog to know whether the marriage would take place, the path of love had completely run its course. This is the main theme of Episode 10.Minor mistakes: The costume department gave Townsend his CVO, but failed to give the actor playing Lascelles any medals or Orders (by 1953 he was entitled to a GCVO, CMG, MC and various other medals); in Rhodesia, there was a Governor-type figure in a Guards tunic with a GCB, but only bar ribbons for medals. At one point we see the telephone switchboard, which includes Highgrove House. This is the house that the Duchy of Cornwall bought for Prince Charles in 1980, so it would not have been on the switchboard in the 1950s.Series one, episode seven: Scientia Potentia EstIt is 1940 and the Princesses are with their French governess. Princess Elizabeth goes to Eton College to be instructed by the Provost, Sir Henry Marten (not Vice-Provost as stated in the series). This leads to the Queen wishing to be better educated – knowledge is power - and as the story moves on into 1953, one of the themes is that she wants a tutor to help expand her general knowledge. Martin Charteris such a figure called Professor Hodge, but he is a completely fictitious character. The Queen did not seek a tutor to help her and nor would she ever have taken advice over constitutional matters from a figure outside the Palace system.Retirement, or rather non-retirement, is in the air. Churchill is getting old and rather desperate, but refusing to go. The Anthony Eden character is ill in Boston, rather luridly so, taking injections, the implication being that he was almost a drug addict (a theme which gets worse in subsequent episodes). Then Churchill has two strokes. Evidently the Queen is not informed and so the fictitious Hodge urges her to summon Churchill and Lord Salisbury to tick them off like recalcitrant schoolboys. The Crown plays out the two wiggings. Symbolically this is to demonstrate that the Queen is getting on top of her role as an assured constitutional monarch.Tommy Lascelles is also about to retire. In this series, the Queen wants her former Private Secretary, Martin Charteris, to take over and even offers him the job. He and his wife (Gay in real life, but here carelessly called Mary - the name of his daughter), go to look at the Private Secretary’s new home at St James’s Palace and have a tree trimmed outside it. They even say the house will be good for ‘the girls’. (In real life they had the one daughter and two sons). Michael Adeane hears about this, is aggrieved, and complains to Lascelles, who engineers that he does succeed him and not Charteris. Once again Lascelles proves himself more dominant and the Queen’s private wishes are set aside.This is inaccurate. It is traditional that the monarch’s serving Private Secretary stays on for a few months at the beginning of a new reign to help with the transition as did Lascelles until after the Coronation, retiring at the age of sixty-six on the last day of 1953. Michael Adeane and Martin Charteris were working as a team (along with Edward Ford, who is not portrayed in the series). Michael Adeane was always the natural successor, and there was no fuss. He took over.In this episode, the film-makers have put a 1972 story into a 1953 context, presumably so that they could use the Lascelles figure. There was a fuss over Adeane’s successor when he retired. At that time Charteris was the natural successor but Lord Cobbold, a former Governor of the Bank of England, wanted to sweep away the Guards officer Old Etonian types who held sway in the Palace and replace them with more meritocratic types. He tried to reject Charteris in favour of Philip Moore. But Charteris went to see the Queen and asked to take over. She immediately agreed, and he proved to be an inspired Private Secretary, who succeeded perhaps better than any other Private Secretary in presenting her to the world as she really is. He served until 1977.The message that emerges from this episode is that the Queen is conscientious, prepared to do her homework and research, with a knack for discovering the truth when it is kept from her – as, for example, with Churchill’s two strokes (though Lord Salisbury is unlikely to have been willfully withholding this information from her).Lascelles is well played in the series, though his older daughter (now 94) has said that his hair parting is wrong and his moustache too big. By curious misfortune, the actor playing Michael Adeane looks more like the real life Martin Charteris.Series one, episode eight: Pride and JoyThe King used to say of his two daughters: ‘Lilibet is my pride, and Margaret my joy.’ (This is something first published by me in my biography of the Queen Mother and therefore explains the title of this episode). Here there is a complete jumble of the real life facts. The episode starts with a scene where the Queen unveils a statue to King George VI in the Mall. This was in fact unveiled on 6 October 1955. But suddenly plans are being made for the Commonwealth tour of 1953 and 1954, so the story moves back in time.There is particular discussion about Gibraltar as a place that could be dangerous. This was quite true. There were threats from the Spanish and for a visit of less than two days, there were detectives from Scotland Yard operating under cover there for several months. There are some scenes from the Commonwealth tour demonstrating the Queen’s determination to undertake it all, and the strain this put on her. At one point the press see the Queen and Prince Philip emerging from a house after a row. Rightly, they stress the success of the tour.The film-makers decided that while the Queen was away on her Commonwealth tour, the country would be run by Princess Margaret, rather than the Queen Mother, enabling them to use her as a modernizer breaking all the rules and introducing a spontaneous and touchy-feely (quasi Diana, Princess of Wales) approach to being Head of State which, not surprisingly, upsets everyone. She rewrites a speech, suiting her wayward personality and introducing more colour into it, and delivers this at an Ambassadors’ reception (curiously British Ambassadors serving overseas, in Washington and Athens, who appear to have flown in for this occasion). She gets the guests laughing. The point they seek to make is that Princess Margaret thinks she would make a better Queen than her sister, more in tune with the changing times. The Charteris figure gets more and more worried as she chats to miners, gives spontaneous interviews to the media in which she mentions her affection for Townsend and takes a dig at the Queen. She gets ticked off by Churchill who begins to detect a crisis arising, akin to the Abdication. When the Queen comes back, Churchill alerts her to Princess Margaret’s behaviour.None of the above happened and is ultimately tabloid invention. Nor do I subscribe to the idea that there was bitter jealousy between Princess Margaret and the Queen. Princess Margaret always supported her sister.To achieve this, they blur the dates and have the Queen Mother out of the way, buying Barrogill Castle (later renamed the Castle of Mey) in Scotland, something which actually happened a whole year earlier, in 1952. Lascelles (who would by then have retired) tells the Queen Mother what her duties will be, but she tells him she wants to be away. The episode twists history by suggesting the Queen Mother was prepared to shirk all her responsibilities.In reality the Queen Mother was very much in London while the Queen was away, not least looking after Prince Charles and Princess Anne, who stayed with her at Royal Lodge most weekends (when she was not away racing) and at Sandringham for a long Christmas holiday. She was the senior Counsellor of State during the Queen’s absence. Counsellors act in tandem and Princess Margaret usually assisted her. But Churchill had the same kind of audiences with the Queen Mother as he would have done with the Queen, but not so regularly. The film also has Princess Margaret being advised by Martin Charteris, when in real life, he was travelling with the Queen and Prince Philip.As to the Castle of Mey scenes, the Queen Mother did not ride horses after the early 1930s, so to see her cantering along the beaches is somewhat strange. Nor is it likely that the castle’s funny old owner, Captain Imbert-Terry, would not have recognised her. While she stays with the Vyners, she addresses the issues of her early widowhood. As this is meant to be late 1953, and not 1952, this does not convince – even with dramatic licence.Minor mistakes: At a fitting they dress Prince Philip in the naval uniform which he wore but once – at the Coronation, an outdated uniform with epaulettes; later, he wears a Garter riband and bar medals, which is incorrect. The Caribbean Governor in white is wearing what might be a curious interpretation of a military GBE riband along with a huge GCMG star. When Princess Margaret gives her speech, the guests are wearing Orders, but she is not.Series one, episode nine: AssassinsIn London in 1954 Jean Wallop, a private person still very much alive, arrives in a restaurant to dine with Lord Porchester (later 7th Earl of Carnarvon). He proposes to her. She accepts on one condition – that he does not still hold a torch for ‘her’ – i.e. the Queen. I have it on impeccable authority that the future Lady Carnarvon did not even know that he knew the Queen when she met him. The outcome of this scene is that he tells her that for the Queen there was only ever Prince Philip, and she (his bride to be) is the only one for him. The Porchesters were married in January 1956.The Crown suggests that Porchester was the man many wanted the Queen to marry, and they hint that she would have been happier with him than with Prince Philip. For the record, the Queen Mother originally wanted Princess Elizabeth to marry a Grenadier Guards officer. The late Duke of Grafton springs to mind. But from very early on, she set her heart on the good looking Prince Philip. Soon after he returned from war, they were engaged. The Queen Mother told Sir Arthur Penn: ‘Won’t the Grenadier Guards be disappointed?’ They were and at first refused to have Prince Philip as their Colonel.The episode depicts Porchester ringing the Queen late at night, with a certain number of double entendres, his wife-to-be coming through from the bathroom. The Queen’s love of racing is emphasized as is Prince Philip’s boredom with it. This theme is rather dropped as the episode goes on, though in one scene, the Queen and Prince Philip watch a mare being covered, with Lord Porchester observing from afar and with some predictably cheap lines. Afterwards Prince Philip jumps out of the Land Rover in a rage. This is followed by a scene back home with a declaration of love by the Queen for Prince Philip.Lord Carnarvon was a close adviser to the Queen as her racing manager and she often stayed with him and his wife to visit studs in the Berkshire area. Both she and Prince Philip flew down from Balmoral to attend his funeral in 2001.The Graham Sutherland story is well told. Sutherland was commissioned to paint Churchill’s portrait to be presented to him in Westminster Hall for his 80th birthday on 30 November 1954. Peter Morgan is on firm ground here as it is within the political domain. Intermingled with this is the theme that Churchill should stand down. There is a fictional scene where Eden visits Churchill at Chartwell and bids him to give way in a histrionic, hysterical way – presaging the recurring theme that he was some kind of junkie. As to the portrait itself, it was revealed after her death in 1977 that Lady Churchill had destroyed it. In 1957 she described Churchill’s reaction to the painting in a letter to Lord Beaverbrook: ‘it wounded him deeply that this brilliant … painter with whom he had made friends while sitting for him should see him as a gross & cruel monster.’There is a partly fictitious version of the speech he gave in Westminster Hall in which he teases the audience that he is about to retire and that his successor, Anthony Eden, is to hand. It appears that he then promptly resigns and with the brutality of the political system, as he leaves the Palace, Eden’s car draws up. The Queen’s speech at Churchill’s farewell dinner was taken from a private letter from the Queen to Churchill after his resignation and not delivered as such on the night. As we listen to it, we see another scene – Lady Churchill presiding over the burning of the Sutherland portrait.In reality Churchill did not resign immediately after his 80th birthday in November 1954. He hung on in office until April 1955.Series one, episode ten: GlorianaThe episode reprises the events of December 1936. Edward VIII agrees to see his brother, the Duke of York, but not the Duchess (there is no evidence for that). Then the new King informs his daughters that their uncle has put love before duty. He tells them never to let each other down thus introducing the theme that there could be tension between them later on.A Royal Standard is hoisted over Balmoral. It is Princess Margaret’s 25th birthday (21 August 1955) and she declares she still feels the same way about Group Captain Townsend. It seems possible that she can now marry him. But the Queen discusses the Royal Marriages Act with Michael Adeane. He invokes a different version of the situation. He mentions that both Houses of Parliament need to approve and the need to wait for 12 months. Still under the illusion that she is free to marry, Princess Margaret wants to announce it.Another scene shows Prince Philip teaching Prince Charles to fish so that we realise that he is quite tough on the boy. The Queen Mother voices the opinion that Prince Philip is taking it out on Charles due to the frustrations of his life. The Crown likes to think that the Queen Mother is very thick with Lascelles, in his retirement. She relied on him a bit after the King’s death but Lascelles took a dim view of her philosophy of life, considering it was best summed up in the hymn: ‘the rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate’. But it gives them the idea that Prince Philip was sent by the Queen to open the Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia in November 1956 to get him out of the way, to get him away from bullying his son and in the hope, as expressed clearly in this episode, that he would come back ‘changed’. But this all happens in August 1955 and he did not undertake the voyage until October 1956.The second and final round in the Princess Margaret – Peter Townsend drama is played out. We see headlines speculating as to whether or not she is going to marry the Group Captain.Apparently Prince Philip is somewhat in league with Princess Margaret over the marriage question. Townsend returns and they run together in a passionate embrace. Then come the problems, the involvement of the Attorney-General, the threat that Lord Salisbury will resign if the marriage takes place, the Queen saying she will support her in any way she can, but then that she would be deprived of money and titles, and have to live abroad for several years as Mrs Peter Townsend. Princess Margaret claims the country is on her side. The invented words of their father about mutual support are repeated by the Queen.Then it all gets worse, with the Cabinet advising against the marriage, the Archbishop of Canterbury and other Bishops reminding the Queen that she is Defender of the Faith and of the oath made at the Coronation, and finally the Queen seeking advice from the Duke of Windsor in France. He tells her ‘You must protect the kingdom’. And so, in this episode, the Queen’s line is that Princess Margaret cannot marry Townsend and remain part of the family.In reality, Eden did advise the Queen at Balmoral, but there was no involvement from the Archbishop, and the Duke of Windsor was in no position to pontificate about the role as sister and Queen, and duty to the realm.The film-makers maintain that Princess Margaret broke off from Townsend because she had been forbidden to marry him. Furthermore, she tells him she will never marry anyone else. And then Townsend makes a public statement, in fact reading much of the written statement that in reality Princess Margaret issued to the press. He then returns to Brussels.In truth, the decision was a mutual one between Princess Margaret and the Group Captain, largely based on the fact that Lascelles’s separation plan had worked and the love between them had died.None of the characters are happy at the end of this episode. Princess Margaret is seen depressed at parties, and Peter Townsend sitting forlornly alone in his apartment in Brussels. Prince Philip is angry at being sent away on the long tour.The situation with Nasser in Egypt is flagged up during this episode, meetings with Eden, more pills being taken and in the end, Anthony Eden slumped in front of burning cine-film of Nasser, having just stuck a needle full of drugs into his arm – followed by an image of the Queen posing in tiara and evening dress, next to the Crown Jewels which have been brought to the Palace for effect. She is shown as an assured and confident young monarch while the ever-frustrated Prince Philip drives off down the Mall in his open care, all alone, looking distinctly fed up.I should be grateful that it is Cecil Beaton who gets the last word in both this series and Series two, extolling the virtues of monarchy with Shakespearean lines. Nevertheless Claire Foy’s Queen looks ominously sad.

华丽的布景，精美的服饰，把观众带回到二战结束后的雾都伦敦，第一王位继承人伊丽莎白公主即将出嫁，民众对盛大的王室婚礼翘首以待，期望与年轻的公主一起扫除战后的阴霾开始新的生活篇章。

王宫中，公主在门外徘徊，等待着未婚夫宣誓放弃那些有名无实的外籍头衔，真正成为大不列颠的一员。

房间里国王正在授勋，正式接纳一个原本的外国人成为家族的一员。

她最爱的两个男人正在完成庄严的仪式，而她却忐忑着。

他会愿意吗，此后一生他是否会后悔今天的选择，他的爱是否和她一样坚贞？

她装作不在意地说，他还有24小时可以反悔；宽慰他此时的放弃或许可以获取的更高的奖赏，可傲娇的未婚夫回答“这正是他们想的”，她的心几乎就要坠地。

可他接着送上一个甜蜜的偷吻，“我也是这么想的”，公主的脸上立刻绽放出笑容。

这就是她的未婚夫，总是知道怎么让她心烦意乱，总是知道怎么让她的脸上染上红晕。

婚礼上，他们相互盟誓：我们从今以后，无论富贵或贫穷，无论疾病或健康，都将彼此相爱、珍惜、服从，直至被死亡分离。

她紧张时，她不安时，总是望向他，他时而挤眉弄眼，时而小声提醒，让她放松下来。

“服从”或许不是王储该有的誓词，却是此刻她心中的箴言。

他们的蜜月旅行，他们爱的结晶，他们新的家，一切如童话般完美。

他们是一对人人羡慕的一对佳偶，迷人海军军官和他高贵优雅的贵族夫人。

海滩上的嬉戏，赛艇比赛时的亢奋，party上的热闹喧嚣，还有一双如天使般可爱的儿女，几乎让他们忘记了自己的头衔和使命。

是啊，国王正值盛年，他们有足够的时间去享受自己的生活，陪伴孩子们长大，等到他们自己也足够成熟稳重，等到父亲慢慢老去，再去思考如何接下重担。

爱曾经让她小心翼翼，而现在爱让他们有恃无恐。

可惜，现实中的童话总是不会圆满。

来自伦敦的紧急电话，把他们召唤回伦敦。

公主紧张父亲的病情，得知手术成功终于松了一口气。

可身为这个家庭的外来者，菲利普敏锐地察觉到了医生心虚的表情，独自走进手术室，看到还在麻醉中的国王和被切除的肺部，他意识到了，岳父的病情绝不像公布的那样简单。

他开始默默关注着国王，时刻担心他会突然倒下，他知道他的妻子和这个家庭都承受不了这个打击。

爱让他变得小心翼翼。

而伊丽莎白对这却毫不知情，和母亲一起筹备圣诞行程，关心妹妹的感情生活，向父亲抱怨丈夫对装修的挑剔。

她还幻想着等父亲完全康复后，可以和丈夫孩子回到原本的家中，继续做她的军官夫人。

面对父亲突然交给的出访重任，她当然有点不知所措，不过也有点跃跃欲试。

她是父母眼中听话的好孩子，履行公主的职责，替父亲分忧这是她该做的事。

至于说服丈夫的工作很轻松，出访几个月的时间总会给他找的事做，孩子们还小不会在意他们的离开，等他回到海军，一切都会变好的。

忽视了父亲不断恶化的健康，纵容着妹妹可能成为丑闻的爱情，也未能读懂丈夫眼中的担忧，爱让她蒙上双眼，继续有恃无恐。

公主与王子的爱情故事演绎千遍万遍，一样有捧场的观众，而《王冠》的第一集没有描绘公主与王子如何相识相恋，而直接从婚礼开场。

我很中意剧中这对王室夫妻的描述，几句对白，一个深吻，还有运用蒙太奇展示的婚后生活，寥寥几笔就勾画出丰满的人物形象。

循规蹈矩的大公主遇到了潇洒不羁的落魄王子，尽管不被人看好，尽管有那样这样的问题，他们还是走到了一起。

婚后离开了王室的纷繁，回归最简单的夫妻生活，他们拥有了一段梦想的人生。

这是童话的尾声，也是现实生活的开端，之前的生活有多少欢乐，此后的生活就有多少的一言难尽。

传记片就是这样，观众是历史的知情人，而剧中的芸芸众生则是历史经历者。

对我们而言是一段故事，于他们来说是整个人生。

如果说对公主夫妻的描述只是一个精彩的开场，对乔治六世国王的描绘则是一段华美的篇章。

他是一个深爱家庭的男人，即便身体出现不适，仍然坚持出席女儿的婚礼，牵着她的手交给另一个男人，精心为她挑选新婚礼物。

获知自己不久于人世时，他小心翼翼的瞒着所有的人，不让妻子难过，不让母亲伤心，不让女儿担心。

他默默地为继承人规划着未来，与帝国最老道的老狐狸斗智斗勇，为她争取时间和经验。

他被病痛折磨着早起，却恶作剧般地叫醒裸睡的女婿，一起去沼泽地打猎。

他记得答应过女儿，陪她的丈夫出去散心，他希望她有一个能陪伴她走过这段艰难旅程的人，一个将爱她，保护她视为毕生职责的伴侣，因为他已不能再陪伴她了。

他是一位与疾病抗争的国王，他收拾好了哥哥退位后留下的烂摊子，和人民一起打赢了世界大战，甚至用讲黄段子的方法克服了口吃和坏脾气。

可是“癌症”，不是他能克服的。

当从医生口中听到实情后，他问了两个问题，有谁知道自己的病情，以及自己还有多长时间。

医生的回答让他心酸又难受，原来首相早就获知自己的病情，之前的悉心装扮，甚至打上的腮红，不但没有遮掩病容，反而将自己的软肋暴露在对手面前，而自己珍爱的家人却无人知晓自己的状况。

他艰难地维系着一个国王最后的尊严，掩饰着身体的痛楚与对人世的不舍。

他深知王冠之重，哪怕不能与家人享受最后的人伦之乐，也要把王冠平稳地传递下去。

他只祈求上苍再多给自己一点时间，再多做点准备，为继承人再多铺一段路。

作为知情人我们知道，上帝留给乔治六世的时间并不多， 对家人的爱，对国家的爱，让他小心翼翼走过了最后的时光。

而他的女儿即将加冕为王，此后一生她都将承受王冠的重量，也用一生的勤勉去兑现对父亲的承诺与爱，他离去之后她再也无法有恃无恐。

--谈谈真实人物-自我记事起，英国女王就是白发苍苍的老太太，而她的丈夫则是比她高出很多的秃顶老头。

前段时间看了英国为庆贺女王90岁生日拍摄的纪录片（ps：看看人家怎么拍马屁的），看到了女王夫妇年轻时的模样。

老实说这个剧的选角真心有问题，主角的颜值和气质与真实人物差距太大，反而配角到还原得不错。

青年时代的女王，优雅大方，充满朝气。

如果说女王的颜值不输给女明星，那么亲王的颜值是直逼当红巨星。

那时的亲王高大英俊，一头金发，标准的西方美男子，既有贵族气质又兼具迷人魅力，难怪女王在少女时代会对他一见钟情。

乖乖女爱上坏小子，老套的剧情总是重复上演。

婚后，他们曾拥有一段如普通人般的生活，他是驻外的海军军官，她是当地社交圈最受欢迎的女主人。

男主外，女主内，其实某种程度上与他们本身的性格相符。

可惜，注定得她走在前面，他跟在后面。

纪录片里王子、公主们纷纷出镜，他们描述女王时，总是站在王室成员的角度，讲述女王的智慧、辛勤与付出；而谈到亲王时，则是在讲一位父亲，一位祖父的故事，甚至有位年轻的公主因为外界对祖父的不公评价激动地落泪。

亲王是王室的外来人，如今则是王室另外的某种象征。

他的风流韵事，他的保守思想还有口不择言，都让王室公关们头疼不已，可他依然我行我素。

女王的男人不应该是这样的，但转过来想，这样的男人也许正是女王想要的。

一个能对自己直言不讳的人，一个能替自己讲“不合时宜”笑话的人，一个能和儿孙正常交往的人。

他们的故事绝不像鸡汤文中描述那么美好，也不会像反鸡汤文中描绘得那么不堪，如人饮水，冷暖自知。

爱或许曾经有恃无恐，但现实教会爱小心翼翼，最后悠长的时光让爱变做陪伴。

女王，就如同片头的黄金一样，稀有珍贵。

一面是仪式性的功能，仅仅作为装饰存在；一面又要历经锤炼，而不改其成色。

世人只知女王超长待机，可谁知道有所不为的背后是对于责任的坚守。

Duty calls，祖母的信就这样把伊丽莎白带入了残酷的现实，从此开始了漫长的守护。

对英国宪政传统的理解，是女王钳制政客们的唯一武器。

器物之学，于王室原本就是下乘，需要的时候自有人来参谋，原则和品格才是人类社会的屠龙之技。

英格兰封建领主以武德为最高品格，骑马，打猎，参军，授勋等传统，在剧中处处都有体现。

女王是圣公会在英格兰的最高领袖，这一点使她无法实现她对妹妹和父亲的誓言。

在一个进步主义突飞猛进的二十世纪后半叶，如何看待传统宗教婚姻也是一个颇有争议的话题。

本剧并没有给出一个确定的答案，而是在将女王描述为一个在责任和家庭中分裂的形象时戛然而止，留下悬念让观众期待下一季。

剧中大量运用了象征手法，毕竟，“Who wants transparency when you can have magic?" 最突出的例子是第六集片头过后，妹妹想给姐姐打电话，透过重重转接才得以接通，非常巧妙的暗示了将要出现的姐妹之间的隔阂。

除此之外，剧中有许多精彩人物情节，其中对丘吉尔的塑造尤为成功（虽然这是我见到的身高最高的丘吉尔）。

私人秘书Tommy Lascelles，国王乔治六世和他的哥哥温莎公爵，丘吉尔夫人等，都是令人印象深刻的角色。

而除女王之外，我最喜欢的角色其实是老祖母，穿戴举止都是维多利亚时代的风格，在第二集结尾处的屈膝礼更是令人动容。

一霎那间，仿佛19世纪逝去的荣光透过老祖母的教诲，传递给了新时代的女王。

作为一个维多利亚时代的拥趸，此时我必须原文引用丘吉尔的颂词，以表达对那个时代的缅怀：Famous have been the reigns of our queens. Some of the greatest periods in our history have unfolded under their sceptre. I, whose youth was passed in the august, unchallenged and tranquil glories of the Victorian era, may well feel a thrill in invoking once more the prayer and the anthem, "God save the Queen!"-更新的分割线写一些零星的想法。

对于初看者，我推荐先看一下《国王的演讲》，可以帮助了解一些本剧的背景，包括爱德华八世（即后来的温莎公爵）的退位和乔治六世（女王的父亲）继位。

本剧据说要做六季，一亿英镑预算，每一季跨度大约是十年（那不是要演到现在了么），真是宏图大志。

我对于这种做法是否会成功持保守态度，毕竟难点太多，第一，随时间跨越所有重要角色都要重新选角；第二，不可避免的要触及很多敏感话题，站队和处理不当都会导致批评，毕竟很多事情对于英国观众来说还历历在目。

不过主要制作者Peter Morgan在这方面有很多经验，本季开了个好头。

配乐方面，Hans Zimmer是无可争议的大师，Rupert Gregson-Williams也不逞多让。

而且剧中还多次大胆采用了古典音乐的著名片段，比如第三集使用了瓦格纳的歌剧，第四集则是莫扎特安魂曲。

最后，不妨说说我觉得处理的最好的三个片段：1，老国王过世，伊丽莎白从飞机上下来，成为了新的女王。

2，登基仪式，温莎公爵不能在现场观看，只能看电视，心里五味陈杂，结尾处独自一人吹风笛怀念故乡。

3，年迈的丘吉尔面对自己的画像，终于承认自己老了。

同时，也说一下最期待以后会看到的情节：1，查尔斯王子和黛安娜离婚，迎娶离过婚的卡米拉（大家都知道王室娶一个离过婚的人有多难）。

2，撒切尔夫人时代和马岛战争。

3，女王如何处理和妹妹以及丈夫菲利普亲王的关系，也是本季留下的悬念。
