This well-made historical film cost more than 1 billion dollars.

The film is quite commendable in terms of service, plot, performance and core theme. Although the overseas box office is not ideal, it is clear that this film is going straight to next year's Oscar and may win many golden statuettes. Below, the author will talk to you in detail about the historical background of this film and the behind-the-scenes story.

As a rare historical film in Hollywood in recent years, the story of the final duel is also an out-and-out European medieval cucumber. In the film, Damon and his old friend Ben Affleck not only play the role of partners in the film, but also act as screenwriters together. As we all know, the director of this film is ridley scott. The legendary director has many attractions, including Alien, Gladiator, blade runner and Mars Rescue.

Director Scott did not use the direct narrative method of the novel when shooting, but adopted a bold narrative structure similar to that of Japanese director Akira Kurosawa in Rashomon 1950. China director Zhang Yimou also used this method in Hero in 2002. The film The Last Duel is obviously divided into three chapters.

Each chapter is arranged separately. Kaluzzi, Margaret and Grace interpret the whole event from their own perspectives, leaving many inconclusive clues for the audience to think about what the truth of this history is.

For example, in movies and books, it is repeatedly mentioned that before Margaret married Kaluzi, why did Kaluzi and Grace suddenly become sworn enemies? One of the clues related to this matter is the sudden death of Kaluzi's ex-wife and children.

Before that, their relationship was very close, and Grace was the godfather of the child. Then why does the death of a friend's wife and children affect their friendship?

The second clue is the Lord of Kaluzzi and Grice, Count Darren. Grace is obviously more appreciated by Count Darren, obviously because Grace is as romantic as him. But Grace was serious at first, and he began to become wild, also after Kaluzi's ex-wife and children died.

So this makes the audience have to pay attention to another clue, that is, it is mentioned in the film that Kaluzi and his ex-wife had children long after they got married, and after Margaret married him, there was no movement for many years, only once with Grace.

For these questions, the director and screenwriter didn't intend to explain at all, but raised a new question, that is, is there any affection between Kaluzi and Margaret? Movies, like novels, clearly show that there is a political marriage between Kaluzi and Margaret.

But the difference is that the protagonists in the two works are different. Focusing on Kaluzi, the book shows his chivalry, how to take him out of adversity and finally win Margaret's heart.

The focus of the film is obviously Margaret, which shows her situation at that time. But the director and the screenwriter are obviously not on either side. Just tell the audience two facts clearly. First of all, Kaluzi and Margaret were over 50 years old when they got married, and they had financial problems. Secondly, Margaret's family used to be strong. As the only child in the family, her dowry is naturally quite rich. But because her father ignored the later king, she urgently needed to find a son-in-law who kept a loyal reputation in the court like Kaluzi.

Whether Kaluzzi and Margaret really love each other, I'm afraid only they know. It's like whether Grace defiled Margaret or not, only the two of them know.

Looking back at the whole movie, Grace complained about his lines many times. Even before he was stabbed, he firmly refused to admit that he had desecrated Margaret. Let the author also feel that he may be really wronged.

But after Grace defiled Margaret, he warned her.
