Today I will talk about the drama “The Queen’s Gambit” from the perspective of details.
Because it is a detailed analysis, spoilers are inevitable.
If you mind, you can collect it first and read this article after finishing “The Queen’s Gambit”.
1.Female model Cleo
Female model Cleo doesn’t have many roles, but she is the most contemplative character-none of them.
Cleo met Beth for the first time in the basement of Benny’s brother in New York.
And Benny has an important identity, the American chess champion.
Later, Beth faced off against top player Borgov in Paris. The night before the match, she happened to appear in Paris with Beth hangover.
That night caused Beth to be in poor mental state the next day, losing to Borgov for the second time.
The most interesting thing is that Beth confronted Borgov for the third time, and her first love came to watch the battle as a reporter.
Why it is said that Cleo is behind the scenes that pushed first love to find Beth.
Because in “The Queen’s Gambit”, only the female model ever asked Beth what her favorite last name was. Beth said the last name of his first love.
This surname is an important clue for the female model to find Beth’s first love, and then he appears.
There is only one truth behind these coincidences-the true identity of the female model is most likely a Soviet spy.
She appeared next to Beth and Benny, just to make trouble next to the American chess champion.
Both Benny and Beth lost to Borgov and have dominated the international chess world for many years, mainly because Borgov’s extraordinary ability.
Secondly, there is also the credit of spies like female models.
2.First love
Beth and first love are regrettable after all, because he is GAY.
When Beth and first love were in the same room, the atmosphere was ambiguous. For a moment, Beth thought it was not suitable for children.
At a critical moment, a blond man broke in. In this room, the blond man deliberately took off his pants, revealing his boxer briefs.
This is a declaration of sovereignty over Beth-this is my man.
In addition, there is only one big bed in a room, and the sexual orientation of first love can also be seen.
3.Learn Russian
Taking the initiative to learn Russian, it can be seen that Beth is a ruthless character with ambitious goals.
She not only wants to break the situation where women do not play chess, but also wants to defeat the Soviet dominance in chess.
Learning Russian is her clarion call to challenge Borgov.
Even after losing to Borgov twice, Beth still has the courage to challenge the third time.
4.School Worker
Without school workers, it is difficult to have Beth’s future.
The school workers treat Beth well and always rely on action. He said that girls can’t play chess, so he can teach her what he has learned in his life.
Beth wrote to her for a $5 entry fee, and he did not hesitate to send the money.
Beth’s adoptive mother said that she would cut out all reports of Beth’s competition and put them away.
We didn’t see the adoptive mother’s collection, but saw the school worker do it.
A humble and tiny person always has a moving love.
5.10 USD
Be sure to focus on the 10 dollars.
Beth had no money to participate and promised to the school staff, “Give me 5 dollars, and if I win, I will give you 10 dollars.”
Later, Beth won the game and never fulfilled his promise from start to finish.
Should Beth pay back the money?
Repaying debts is justified. But Beth does not pay back the money, which is unreasonable, but sensible.
For school workers, Beth is the person he cares for, and the two are not a contractual relationship based on money.
In other words, the school worker himself will not agree to fund Beth because of the promise of subsidizing $5 and returning you $10.
5 US dollars is his willingness to pay, rather than weighing the pros and cons of financial management.
Return the school clerk 10 dollars, or not, the school clerk is still the person who silently pays attention to Beth.
Of course, Beth is a person with a low sense of morality.
When she was adopted, the school worker also went to the door to visit, reluctant to leave.
Seeing the school worker, Beth never got out of the car, but raised her hand slightly.
This is the arc of Beth’s character, even if the heart is reluctant, it will not be particularly exposed.
Fate affects character.
After Beth’s mother committed suicide, she was very afraid of establishing intimacy.
This also makes Beth believe that the school worker is just a passer-by who can help her, not a relative to be remembered.
When she understood that the school worker really cared about herself, the school worker was no longer there.
6.Foster mother
Frankly speaking, it was the adoptive father who proposed to adopt Beth, not the adoptive mother.
The ultimate reason for the adoptive father to adopt Beth is to get rid of his wife. Beth is just the female companion that the adoptive father finds for the adoptive mother.
This is also the main reason why the adoptive father was cold towards Beth and left the family on the grounds of a business trip the next day.
In addition, Beth’s black girlfriend once said that children are easy to be adopted, and the older they are, the less likely they are to be adopted.
The black girlfriend is the little angel next to Beth. She used $3,000 to fund Beth’s dream dream, which made people rush to tears.
The 13-year-old Beth was adopted, completely accidental when a family was on the verge of breaking up.
After his adoptive father and adoptive mother divorced, Beth was most worried about whether he would return to the orphanage.
The adoptive mother gave a tearful answer, “I can’t be a wife, but I can be a mother.”
Adopting Beth can be said to be the wisest investment for adoptive mothers.
She can get 15% of Beth’s participation bonus. For Beth, the adoptive mother also taught Beth how to manage money.
This also allows Beth to have the money to buy the house where her adoptive mother lives.
Also an American chess champion, Benny can only live in the basement in New York (it is undeniable that New York housing prices are higher).
He does not have enough savings to improve his living conditions.
Of course, the relationship between Beth and her adoptive mother is not just a community of alliance of interests, the two have real mother-daughter feelings.
In this regard, there are a lot of details in “The Queen’s Gambit”.
For example, when the adoptive mother gave Beth a watch, she would not take it off when she was in bed with someone.
She will wear her adoptive mother’s pajamas, will buy the house where her adoptive mother lives, and will fall in love with wine like her adoptive mother.
Even the posture she waited for Harry was similar to the standing posture of her adoptive mother.
There is a kind of love in the world, that is, you will slowly become like him.
7.Female classmate
The female classmate’s mood to see Beth after graduation should be very delicate.
Back then, the female classmate complained that Beth’s dressing style was too earthy and isolated Beth from other sisters.
She also claimed that she would never go to the shop where Beth bought clothes.
Years later, when Beth became a popular chess player, she met a female classmate who was shopping with a baby in that store.
Both bought wine in the shop.
Beth’s addiction to alcohol is a family influence and a long-term habit. Female classmates also bought wine. The high probability is that life after marriage is unsatisfactory.
The female classmate finally became the kind of person she hated most back then.
These are some of the details in “The Queen’s Gambit” that impressed me.
Of course, this is not all. For example, when Beth and Beeny go to bed, the film has been foreshadowed long ago.
Beth once said that he liked Beeny’s hair, implying that he wanted to communicate with him intimately, and the other party responded “It’s impossible for us.”
Later, when the two were in the basement in New York, Beeny asked directly, “Do you still like my hair?”
The small details about the elaborate design in “The Queen’s Gambit” can be said to be everywhere.
If you find something too, welcome to communicate in the message area.
