A great insight into the lives of the most wretched of Christian IX's subjects is the Oscar-winning movie "Pelle the Conqueror" from 1987. And when you've watched it, you must realize that if you thought those people were bad off, conditions were many times worse in Russia.

And how authentic are most OSCAR-WINNING MOVIES?  If I want to learn about something like this, I read a book or at least watch a documentary where I can find out the credentials of who made it etc.

And how authentic are most OSCAR-WINNING MOVIES?

The foreign ones like Pelle the Conqueror are often more authentic than the Anglo-American ones, e.g. The King's Speech, which often are very much dumbed down in order to appeal to the tastes and sensibilities of the American masses. That was one advantage of the more or less Stalinistic state-funded movie industries of Continental and Eastern Europe. Besides all the propaganda they made, they could also make high-brow, artistic, authentic movies which would have been flops at the box offices of purely commercial markets.

If I want to learn about something like this, I read a book or at least watch a documentary where I can find out the credentials of who made it etc.  

You can always read Martin Andersen Nexø's novel "Pelle the Conqueror", which the movie was based on.

I've done a search through the topics on King Christian and Queen Louise but found nothing on this. Does anyone know and is there any evidence of what the couple thought of their daughter's husbands?
That would be Prince Albert Edward (future King Edward VI) with Alexandra, Tsarevich Nicholas & Grand Duke Alexander (future Tsar Alexander III) with Dagmar, and Crown Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover for Thyra.
If anyone has any information about this, it would be of great help!
Thanks.

King Christian & Queen Louise were fond of Emperor Alexander III, who greeted his visits to Denmark with great pleasure. Bertie (Edward VII, Prince of Wales) was beloved by them too by his tact and charm. So much so when things went wrong with Alix (Alexandra), they lectured her on how to hold on to her husband. Ernst August was the least loved of the three since he disliked coming to Denmark, and therefore Thyra could not come too. She came back to her home country more often after the death of her husband.

[Ekaterina-Nikolaevna]

Ah, thanks for the information Eric_Lowe!

[Eric_Lowe]

Welcome. I think King Christian & Queen Louise preached tolerance to their daughter Alix, since both their sons (Frederick & William (King George I of Greece)) have extramarital affairs. That did not threaten their marriages, but Bertie's open affairs and public divorce cases did push Alix to the stretching point...
