‘Spencer’ speaks volumes for the first thing humans need and want is nothing but freedom.

The whole movie ‘Spencer’ revolves around Diana revealing to us not a few true her in a reimagining way, brutally telling us what Diana is when the images of her used to appear to us on media are happy, bright, and extraordinary attracting admiration, applause, and even some different kinds of envy.

The film makes use of Christmas festivities to roll out the whole story. In the three days of the celebration of Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day, Diana, in every way, appears to us by exerting herself to the extreme to fight for rights, freedom, privacy, and security. To all the audiences in front of the big screen, the opulence of the royal is a place like heaven full of what we dream of with desire and avariciousness; however, to Diana, she cannot but tell us how she hates everything in the royal, and she exceptionally hates being arranged and forced to dress or wear this or that to suit the pageantry of the festival without her own choice or right. In the film, we can also witness how broken the relationship she and her husband, Prince Charles, is when he can have his mistress so overtly that he doesn’t show a bit of guilt or remorse.

The film has depicted how Diana loves her two adorable sons, revealing to us some episodes of lovable scenes that not only can touch us but also unnerve us for a while. William, the elder son, in particular, has tried many ways to attempt to understand his mother’s situation and knows to care about her, and being nervous about her mother’s situation will get worse. It is touching and unexpected when we haven’t expected a son would care about a mother’s feelings and emotions to that level when he is less than a ten-year-old boy.

My sentiment with watching the film is that if Prince Charles didn’t have an affair or treated Diana in a way of insensitivity, Diana would not live her life so mentally insane even though she crazily craves freedom, unable to stand the strict and coercive rules the royal imposes onto her. My feeling is Diana not only finds herself immensely lacking in freedom but she also finds herself heavily lacking the sense of security that she finds she has lost once she knows her husband Charles doesn’t love her anymore or even has never loved her ever. Without a loving husband in substance to protect her all the way, Diana finds herself being alone and helpless in the royal, and it is a very frightening thing, for every corner of the royal has ears and eyes that keep watching its members not allowing them to behave like an ordinary person but a royal who cannot do anything disgraceful or just unsuitable to the royal.

Now, at this moment, what would you redefine as royal? I would have it that ‘all that glitters is not gold’.
