The Anglo-American film industry system is too powerful. It seems that any subject can be explored, and any inspiration can be unearthed. The current domestic film and television industry system is still at the stage of being large but not refined, and it needs to catch up!
Since its inception, the Oxford English Dictionary has swept the major bestseller lists and is an indispensable tool for English language learners. However, how many people have ever studied the origin of this book or are interested in its history?
Based on the life experiences of the two main editors, Professor Murray and Mad Miner, this film vividly shows us the origin and birth of the Oxford English Dictionary.
The professor played by Mel Gibson subverts the image is prudent and noble. In order to make it more convenient and comprehensive for people to learn English with a long and charming history, he proposes to compile an English dictionary, while the schizophrenic doctor played by Sean Penn tries to free himself from hallucinations and fears. , and also devoted himself to the compilation of dictionaries. The professor and the lunatic are bound by the dictionary and have the most unforgettable time of their lives.
The picture of the film perfectly reproduces that era, the characters' acting skills are breathtaking, and the story is compact and rich. I like this kind of historical conscience.
