Its charm depends on describing the date perfectly, which is past. Drawing the long picture to describe history is classical and irreplaceable. I watched the just-released movie version of Downton Abbey by chance. Even if I didn’t know it before, I felt the atmosphere of a big family and an aristocratic temperament. What surprised me was that I also felt for people and people. The warmest side is in between, even though it is based on the most harsh (rigid) hierarchy. From counts to servants, people perform their duties and help each other. This is the most united team in that era, because it is not a place, it is a single influence on the place around there. Its profoundness lies in that it incorporates the concept of the times, the background and the liberation.
The 2019 Downton Abbey was set sail for six seasons by the shocking news of the Titanic, and the 2019 movie version echoed the first season with the news of George V's visit. The old British dream of 2009 has come to a perfect end. The presentation of the TV series is reflected in many aspects, but when the quality of each episode is comparable to that of the movie, it really is worth appreciating. The plot unfolds in a limited succession, going through World War I and the decline of the nobility after that, and the Irish issue, as well as the rise of Catholicism and Protestantism, and the rise of the Labour Party. Close to the background of the times, the characters are richer and fuller.
Profiles of the main characters The first is the old lady of Grantham, Violet; the mother of the earl, the backbone of the family. She is very vicious on weekdays but sometimes very cute, and has played a great role in enlightening her granddaughter. She was a very traditional old-timer but was also gradually accepting new things and perspectives, but she would never admit it. (Figure 1 left)
Next is the Earl of Grantham, Robert, and Cora, Countess of Grantham, the daughter of an old-time aristocratic gentleman and an American millionaire. Although they were combined for each other's titles and dowries, they both became each other's lifelong love. The Earl of Grantham understands the servants and agrees with their ideas. Later, he also went out to work in the hospital. (Figure 2)
The current head of the manor (movie version) went from being a proud young lady, which is every man's dream, to splitting and combining with her cousin, but there is also a lot of puppy food in the middle. Ji finally got together with the big cousin. In the third season, we ushered in the wedding that everyone was looking forward to. I was also super moved, but for a series of reasons, the big cousin received the lunch box, which made me decisively abandon the drama myself. But the slap in the face is that I watched it again after two days.
I think watching Mary walk out of her sadness to start her life again before the fourth season, she seems to be relieved a lot. Maybe she really went in. The unintentional will of the eldest cousin will inherit all the property owned by Mary, so in the movie version, Mary really takes on Downton's future. (Picture 1 right). Second, Girls' Generation experienced jealousy and confusion. At first, she didn't particularly like her and even hated her, but after going through ups and downs, she gradually found the direction she wanted in life, and she had her own The magazine also encountered true love, and it happened that true love inherited a huge fortune that had nothing to do with him. (Picture 3) The mother of my eldest cousin, Matthew, who used to be a nurse, tried her best to help soldiers and civilians during wartime. They did their best to take care of each other, and gradually they became good friends with each other. The old housekeeper Carson: Another treasure of the town house, the chief housekeeper.
If you use an animal to describe Carson, the whale is my first choice. He came to Downton when Mary's grandfather was a child. He had watched Mary grow up since he was a child. He is also a "father"-like character that Mary respects and relies on. This will allow the neglect of a detail. Anna is a personal maid. I believe Mary, who is beautiful and witty, honest and brave, very kind and sometimes enlightened, is responsible for the harmony downstairs in Downton Abbey. (Picture 6) Thomas, the new housekeeper: I hated him at first, and framed others for his own future, but he has the most ideas, and he loves Mary's son George very much, and George likes him very much. Later, it was also welcomed by everyone because of a series of things. (Picture 7). Downton Abbey has survived wars and times, but it still stands here. Although the story is fictitious, it feels the bravery, perseverance, progress, and solemnity when it was baptized by the times. The countless number of meticulous servants to the gradual simplification of the times, the change of the messenger from bicycles to motorcycles, all imply the progress of the times, but the spirit is indeed timeless! As Romain Rolland said, there is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is to love life after recognizing the truth of life. The Mary family, although they had to change their old customs after going through the changes of the times, did not like other manor houses that were unwilling to admit reality and gradually declined.
Instead, they chose to bravely keep up with the times and let the manor survive because it was not only just a mansion but the center of the whole town, the whole community, symbolizing the eternal aristocratic spirit. Although there are status distinctions in the big group photo, they are all equal. Every character has a full and rich image. No matter what position they are in this big family, when they need help, everyone will be there. The number of people in the group photo is gradually decreasing. It is also because of the gradual opening of minds. People have the right to break out of their comfort zones and re-choose their future, which reflects the progress of the times. Downton Abbey for ever. The music begins. Do not say anything. Downton is like a train; some people go out and some come in. Downton greets every visitor with the heart of accepting all rivers and leads people to slow down. I am moving forward slowly, heading for a new era. Here, there is family affection, love, friendship, happiness, and emotion, but it is also accompanied by regrets. But like I said at the end, we can't predict the future, but I'm sure it will be good. Therefore,
