Love and warmth in the small town of Cranford

After watching Pride and Prejudice and Sherlock on the BBC, I became a little interested in British dramas. This Cranford doesn't have the ups and downs and excitingness of the first two films, but it touched me with plainness and warmth, and attracted me to watch it.

British dramas, especially classical British dramas, have always been very particular about scenes and music. The brief dialogue and scene switching at the beginning clearly explain the background of the story and the characters of the key characters. The whole article revolves around the gossip of the old girls in the town. It talks about the conservative and kindness of the older generation, the pursuit of love and enthusiasm by the young, the thirst for knowledge of the new generation, and the impact of the change of times on the quiet town.

Probably because of the war years, most of the old girls in the small town never got married, which also created their strong, conservative, noble and girlish gossip nature.

Miss Jenkyns. She can be regarded as the spiritual leader of the town, and the other girls will gather to ask her point of view on anything. Although she only appeared in two short episodes, and she always maintained a proud expression, her nature was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. After agreeing to the new neighbor's request to take care of her daughter, she still attended Jessie's sister's funeral regardless of the worldly vision (the old girls were first shocked when they saw this, worried that the woman's participation in the funeral would attract criticism, and then relieved that Miss Jenkyns would not do so by doing so. If there is any problem, it shows her status in the old girl's heart); after keenly discovering the seeds of love between Jessie and Gordon, she calmly leads them.

Miss Matty. Unexpectedly, the 007 veteran queen played the role of an old sister so vividly. She is a typical "sister", living under the protection and arrangement of her sister all her life, rarely when she is alone, she is even afraid of opposition and rejects the marriage proposal of her admirers. The unfortunate death of her sister caused her to lose her backbone for a while. From then on, she had to bear everything alone. Her strength and pride kept her going. The admirers of the past reappeared, causing a ripple in my heart, and revisiting the family tree also brought the past to my mind, but where should the passion that has been silent for countless years burst out again? Although he has been preparing for the reunion for more than 30 years, the admirer is already an old man, and he can't express his deep feelings in the face of his beloved. He chose the way of a young man, dragging his weak body for a long trip, and when he came back, he agreed Open up your hearts to each other and walk with each other. Missy Matty is sitting in the sun at this moment, looking out the window with anticipation, her heart may have been opened, but there is no language to hold back. The moment of promise is the most exciting, and anticipation is more intoxicating than getting it. The old man's words have already been spoken, and he must be romantic to the end, but he still can't wait to return early, and he doesn't want to make fun of people and die on the way home. A sigh.

Dr Harrison and Sophy. What a beautiful couple, if they can't be together in the end, how many people will be disappointed in love. Harrison's demeanor is not deep in the world, and it is his responsibility to cure diseases and save people. Sophy lost her mother since she was a child, so she took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings. She hid herself deeply. There was no social interaction and no entertainment. What she talked about most was whether her younger brother was cold or hungry. Harrison first came to the town to visit a patient and came across Sophy. Sophy was playing with his younger brother in the back garden. The sun shone on the leaves, on Sophy's hair and grape-like eyes, which made Harrison intoxicated. Harrison is well-mannered, but he can't hide the happiness on his face. Sophy retracted her gaze first and put it back on her brother, just as she deliberately kept her distance a few times later. Harrison respects her attitude like a gentleman, and can only often visit places where Sophy may be to create opportunities to meet and get along. Harrison knows that the current economic strength is not enough to provide food and clothing for his lover, but he has sufficient confidence in the future and is willing to fight for it. His sincerity won Sophy's father's trust. Although there are some small episodes, some lovers are married, and everyone is happy.

Marry. Marry is a girl that people have to like. She is smart, calm, considerate, straightforward and honest. She is also a foreigner to the town, but the town benefits a lot. The doctor needed an assistant for the operation, and she followed it without saying a word; she could quickly adapt to the pace of life in the small town, and she subtly wanted to improve her too conservative style; she directly told the heartthrob Harrison that she would not like him, and was the first She observes H and S's love and spares no effort to clear up their misunderstandings at the end; she feels sorry for Miss Matty's financial constraints due to bank failure, and witnesses the secret and selfless help of old girls; she privately provides Jessie and Gordon's love Help, colleagues recall Matty's long-separated brother. It can be said that the happy ending of the town is all thanks to Marry. Marry, like a woman named Mary.

old girls. On weekdays, their parents gossip, make a lot of jokes, and create a lot of misunderstandings. At the critical moment, she showed a compassionate side, helping Miss Matty but trying her best to create the situation she deserved, which is touching.

Harry. What a spirited boy, poverty did not stain his heart, but instead he pursued it wholeheartedly and was appreciated by Mr Karter. By the time Karter died, Harry had grown into a graceful gentleman, chanting poetry for the kindness of his encounters. He represents the hope of a new generation.

Finally, I have to mention the lines of the characters in the play. British writers really "squeezed" English to the point where it cannot be increased or reduced. Sometimes it is short and sometimes complicated, sometimes firm and sometimes hesitant, and every sentence is worth savoring.

A good film is like this. It can see the warmth and warmth of the world and the changes in the world. It can make people sigh and reluctant to end it.
