The consequences of selfishness

Through the cat's eyes, you can see the back of a handsome and serious young man. He is still an earl, with attitude and status. Take off the human skin, but the heart is ruthless and selfish. Of course you would say that he was treated unfairly, he just got what belonged to him by vicious and shameless means. Yes, it is true to look at it this way. But because others are wrong, I'm sorry, you can kill and retaliate? Of course, his grandfather's family (the old earl) did not accept favors, he cherishes his status and status, and cares about face not favored, and death is more than guilty. But when the male protagonist chooses marriage, he shows his sophisticated and powerful nature. When the ending is revealed, the old earl’s house is destroyed, and he is still being taken by his own family, which is ridiculously sad. This is not a movie about love, it is about the evil consequences of selfishness.

    In general, the person who plays the octagon, the makeup and the performance of the great god Alec Guinness are divided equally. The Ealing comedy has always captured the indifference, perversion, clumsiness and hypocrisy of the British.

    An English-style dark humor and dark drama about how a Dengzi engineered the murder of an existing member of an ancient large family by drowning, bombing, poisoning, etc. Investing in sex, the moral status of these acts is barely mentioned, although the ending implies that the perpetrators are getting their retribution. But the way he was punished did not lead to a classical notion of "good and evil are rewarded" and "Skynet is sloppy but not leaking", on the contrary, the plot tends to deepen the ubiquitous, hidden and unchecked evil in life. Rolling in like a carriage in a park, it is the corruption and impact of uncontrollable individual behavior on society and order, and also because of Louis's contact with the big family, the film reveals all aspects that constituted British social life at that time: the navy, Lady, priest, entrepreneur. The title of the film is taken from Alfred Tennyson's poem "Mrs. Clara Ville de Ville": "A kind heart is better than a crown, and simple faith is better than Norman blood." It In a sense close to Kubrick's "Path of Glory"

Kind Hearts and Coronets quotes

  • Sibella: Lionel will be very rich one day.

    Louis Mazzini: I might be a duke one day.

    Sibella: Pigs might fly.

    Louis Mazzini: No, I might. Really I might. You see, Mama was the daughter...

    Sibella: [yawning] Oh yes, I know. Well, when you are a duke, you just come and show me your... crown, or whatever it's called, and then I'll feel awfully silly won't I?

  • The Hangman: [about to lead Mazzini, who has become a Duke, to the gallows] Good morning, Your Grace. This won't take a moment. First, if Your Grace will pardon the liberty, I should like to read some verses composed by myself for use on these melancholy occasions. Your Grace permits?

    Louis Mazzini: - With pleasure.

    The Hangman: [Clears his throat] My friend, reflect -

    [Corrects himself awkwardly]

    The Hangman: Oh. Oh. Pardon. Your Grace, reflect: while yet of mortal breath some span, however short, is left to thee, / How brief the total span twixt birth and death, How long thy coming tenure of eternity. /

    [Takes a deep breath and continues with ponderous emphasis on each syllable:]

    The Hangman: Your Grace, prepare -

    [to his great disappointment, a messenger rushes into the cell and announces that new evidence has been discovered which exonerates Mazzini, and the execution is cancelled]
