Many dialogue scenes interrupt the rhythm by fading in and out, making the story more subtle, as if there are more in suspenseful police and criminals. There is no romance. Feelings and etiquette are interrupted with class and selfish humanity. The ending is caused by Charles' missed murder. It seems that there is no reason for it, and it can be completely avoided. But it gave the story a sense of status, these things were originally crooked.

Ivory's career peak work, the third adaptation of Foster's novel, won the Cannes 45th Anniversary Award, Emma Thompson was crowned Oscar queen. 1. Emma really has drama around the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she feels a bit of her true colors. The Margaret she played has always been the moral core of the film, creating a nearly perfect image of a female, kind, tolerant, wise, and gentle. Pragmatic and tolerant, she has also become an intermediary communicator between the upper and lower classes. 2. The romantic and persistent Helen is a bit inherited from the German romanticism. The picture of Buster walking among the blue flowers at night to see the dawn is also a typical romantic scene. The family surname Schlegel also laid the foundation for the romantic theory. People are the same. 3. Margaret seems to be destined to get Howard Manor, just like all kinds of remote sensing and coincidences, the old housekeeper who always recognizes her as the hostess, and the old chestnut tree with pig teeth embedded on the trunk. 4. Wilby's Charles always gritted his teeth, ruthless and arrogant, very different from [Morris], and not without a sense of joy. Simon Carlo collaborated with Ivory for the third time, playing a soy sauce musician. 5. Fallen bookshelf. (8.5/10)
