This film is an example of how life really is the same, whether as a peasant or as a monarch. Ambition, envy, manipulation, loss and the need to extend one's name and impact are things that all men face. The title on it's own is ground enough to make you anticipate fractions, distinctiveness in struggle with otherliness. But on what grounds? In this film, it was on the grounds of charm. Who is the better sister? Who…More
