On the reasons for the failure of Ms. Florence's struggle

I can only say that I admire Ms. Florence, because she is a very courageous person, but she still lacks a little wisdom.

Why can the rich and powerful always have a dominant position? Because they have weapons in their hands that ordinary people do not have.

In this film, Ms. Ramat's weapon, without a doubt, is the law.

Ramat could justifiably clear Florence by changing the law through his connections at the top of the political circle and through "due process" to define old houses as uninhabitable houses.

In this respect, Ms. Florence can only be said to be too tender.

You don't have strong allies, you don't understand the rules of the game, and you don't have a weapon in your hands that can stand up to others. If it's a war, how can you win? !

In fact, this is also a kind of tragedy for society.

It is true that everyone is equal before the law, but in the end, the law is still serving a small number of people, but through a relatively complicated method.

In this world, only the dreams of those in power are dreams, and ordinary people do not deserve to have dreams.

    The ending of the story is excellent. I didn't expect Aunt Cui to play a big villain

    The unique, fairy tale-like and simple dramatic core of the story, sadness, warmth, slow and calm, healing but not sensational, is a precious legacy left by the best-selling literature in the Victorian period. Britain is the light of civilization. (It should be criticized by many people that it is not prominent enough as a movie audio-visual, so please criticize it)

The Bookshop quotes

  • Florence Green: We met at a bookshop, actually, in London. We were in love from the first moment. We had to organize the - organize and classify the poetry section together. He used to read aloud to me every night. Keats and George Elliot and Thackeray. "Never give a lady a restive horse." We loved that one. We were very happy. Busy doing a million things and nothing. And then the war came.

  • Edmund Brundish: What do you intend to do?

    Florence Green: Do? Is there anything I can do?

    Edmund Brundish: Yes! - No. Carry on.

    Florence Green: That's what I was going to do.
