I want to play three-and-a-half, but I can't choose.

Even for viewers who don't know much about British culture, watching Downton is still a pleasant process. The pictures, sounds, gorgeous costumes, and beautiful scenes all add a lot of pleasure to watching.

This film is a bit fast in the rhythm of some parts. As people who have not watched the TV series, they will not be able to distinguish the development of various characters and events. But the interpretation of the actors and the richness of the characters themselves complement this part to a certain extent.

For me, no matter how noble or successful you are, everyone's life will encounter difficulties that must be overcome and solved, and this is the part that attracts me the most in this film. The rhythm of this film is a bit fast, and for those who haven't seen the TV series, they can't tell the development of each character and event. But the richness of characters complements this part to a certain extent.

I prefer 3 and a half for the score. I didn't know the characters at the beginning, I paused a few times to figure it out and then continued, thanks to the original aura of the TV series, otherwise I should have abandoned the show early.

ps If you haven't watched the TV series, you should understand each character before watching the movie, and the official viewing will be much smoother and more comfortable.
