      This is a movie that you can see from the beginning to the end. . . .

      Average, very average, very average movie, the setting and scenery are fantastic, the actors are beautiful, especially the heroine and Sir Benjamin, but unfortunately this film unfortunately falls into the magic theme. It's a story that everyone is happy with, and the story is calm and peaceful. There is no ups and downs. What is even more terrifying is when and how the pure love between the heroine and the young master of the Nora family started. .
          Perhaps the most outstanding thing...

      Moon Ping's Secret

      The little heroine is very beautiful, similar to the clothing of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, very beautiful, the castle and the scene are amazing. Although this kind of fairy tale-style magic movie belongs to the kind of story that you can guess the ending after reading the beginning, and it is written for children, after suffering, the good guy defeats the bad guy, and the beautiful girl should be with the prince, but it is also simple. fresh. The fly in the ointment was...

      Beautiful at a glance

      I read the book when I was a child, and suddenly found out that it has been made into a movie.

      The background of the story is in the old English countryside. I didn't expect it to be grand, but the oil painting in the movie is as elegant and simple as it is. (Compared with China, the British classical era is indeed less gorgeous and a little simple, and it can be seen from the labor force hahaha)

      What I like most is that some of the details about beautiful dresses, small snacks,...

      Can love conquer all? Maybe not so simple

      The film tells the story of the 13-year-old orphan Maria and her tutor who came to Yueyueping Manor in Yinlu Village and discovered that behind all this was the story of the feud between the two families forged for generations.

      Maria's father was heavily in debt, and after his death, he only left her a thick ancient book "The History of Moon Ping", which records the fairy...
