The subtleties of details

I wrote this review a long time later, I didn't plan to write it for long, but because the long-awaited comment from others has never appeared, I had to fill in a little detailed analysis of the characters in the play in a hurry.

James Ashford is an amazing character. Of course, I proposed this role not because I personally love Tom Felto, an actor with a cute face, but because this role subtly reflects a qualified emotional entanglement.

I thought that IMDB would give an analysis, so when I was looking at other sites, I tried my best to find out if there is any explanation for the relationship between Belle and James. However, no one raised this possibility.

That is that James may not only despise Belle, but also the subtle emotions that attract the two sexes.

I feel it is even very obvious. In that scene, the moment he grabbed Belle's face and ran his fingers across her lips, James' expression became harsh and complicated. He desires Belle, but this desire is equivalent to his contempt for Belle. And feeling indignant and irritated about my desire for Belle.

It is impossible for him to accept such a girl anyway. So he tried his best to despise her, but he was always attracted by her. Feelings should be based on mutual respect and love, but his feelings tend to be animal desires. It is unreasonable that this kind of sentiment that is obviously contrary to the superficial civilization has occurred. However, even if this was unreasonable, he would probably attribute it to Belle naturally, thinking it was her fault.

I don't know if this was done deliberately, or if it was just my own random thinking. But if this detail is true, it will not have any strange effects on the whole drama. On the contrary, the emotional scene has an interesting development direction.

    Damn, I just love this strong British theme, what should I do! Costume scenery accents are beautiful cry! My Matthew only played 5 minutes, but it was super good-looking. Why is Dong Dong still playing this kind of role, isn't Nima bothered by himself?

    I thought it was an orthodox drama with political correctness and facial makeup, but I didn't expect that the characters and emotions were well established, and the details were very deep. Very wonderful. Music is a bit too much

Belle quotes

  • John Davinier: 'Tis pitiful. Such inability to simply know what value to put on another's life.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: What price a worthless negro?

    John Davinier: You utterly misunderstand me. I am saying that no man may have the value of cargo. Human beings cannot be priced since we are priceless - free men and slaves alike. I am with others here. All students in law, applying pressure on the insurance companies to refuse from hereon to insure slaves on any ship.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: But that would require a change in law.

    John Davinier: How can we expect to be civilized when we live in such a barbaric world? It is the utter injustice.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: It is more than that. It is the shame of a law that would uphold a financial transaction upon that atrocity.

  • Dido Elizabeth Belle: Is Mabel a slave?

    Lord Mansfield: I beg your pardon?

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: Is... Mabel... a slave?

    Lord Mansfield: She is free, and under our protection.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: Oh, like me.
