      from wet shirt jokes

      This story tells us:

      1. With conditions, we have to create wet shirts, without conditions, we have to create wet shirts under a rain.
      2. Men must be careful when they marry their wives, otherwise it will lead to a drama.
      3. The story of dog blood has been around since ancient times. In the second half of the last episode, the girl pig and the boy pig are all full of fire, and they will stumble and fail to communicate with each other. Of course, everything can be said with...

      humble and noble

      Whether it is "humble" or "noble", it is presented to the public as a "sacrifice" mentality.

                                                     ——The type of women like

       Cynthia

      can be found everywhere in the entire classical literature and movies. They are undoubtedly vanity, like the new and dislike the old, etc. Most women have criticisms, and hidden behind this dark psychology should be women's inferiority complex. In the film, Cynthia said to Jasmine, "Poverty...

      It's useless to be affectionate, but it's frivolous

             Compared to the bluntness of North and South where you can guess from the beginning to the end, "Beautiful Lady" is a real torture for the arrogant mind-set like me: Osborne is not a prodigal son and Cynthia is not. Not being flirtatious, Preston didn't seduce Cynthia to run away (and you'll find Preston more attractive than Roger in the middle and back of the story), Lady Harriet didn't have an emotional entanglement with either of the two brothers, even Molly's stepmother Not the...

      Jasmine

      This movie kept me watching for 4 hours straight. A lot of reasons, like, it's a BBC work, it's in the UK, in Sussex, where I'm familiar, but more importantly, I like the jasmine in it.

      While watching, I felt that she was what I aspired to, what I wanted to be, and the direction I had to work towards. Just like her, she is strong, brave, wise, and thoughtful. At the same time, she is so caring, trustworthy, and forbearing. She can hide her emotions, not emotional, and always be...

      pure feeling

      Recently, I have compared the BBC's costume films, and watched FINGERSMITH, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, and then this WIVES AND DAUGHTER. True to its name, the film is very simple, telling the story of the Gilson family, plain and true, and the characters are distinct and not exaggerated. The composition of the personalities of the Gilson family members is exactly the same as that of the Bennet family, a rough but upright father, a snobby but not too bad stepmother, a beautiful and frivolous but a...

      The emotional drama between the male and female protagonists is important, but the most heartbreaking character is Miss Harriet. Immediately, she is extremely heroic and unrestrained. She takes the initiative to help the heroine solve the...

    Evaluation action

    Basically, the reviews say that this is an adaptation that is quite faithful to the original book, but the screenwriter Andrew Davies made some moves at the end. How to say it? W&D is actually the posthumous work of Elizabeth Gaskell. She died before she could finish it. The novel ends with Molly standing silently by the window and watching Roger leave. I think most people should not be able to end this way. Accepted, so Andrew Davies...
