Power. At times it's a well-deserved prize for years-long process and achievements. At other times it's the outcome of circumstances, sudden deaths, unexpected coincidences, and hidden decisions. It comes out of the blue and to the young, it might be equally burdensome and unwanted. Can wisdom and good intentions make you a great ruler? Can other people's decisions evoke true love and true wisdom in those at first unwilling to accept them? Is there a just cause for death and war? And is there really something like a good rule or everything is a cover for greed, individual gain, and national and religious prejudice? Two films thirty years apart, two young people by circumstances forced to be the head of the country. Enjoy.
