Late gift.

I regard the following text as a bouquet of flowers, dedicated to this classic 40 years ago. It's not a formal work, nor is it a tour guide's lines. Then if you feel offended, please ignore:

“ It was about 11 when Sebastian, without warning, turned the car into a cart track and stopped. We ate the strawberries and drank the wine. As Sebastian promised, they were delicious together. The fumes of the Sweet golden wine seemed to lift us a finger's breadth above the turf and hold us suspended."

This is the time to bury the old dream of the castle. Two blonde Oxford academics fall in love. To understand all is to forgive all. The first time I watched this movie, I was also in my hometown. All that remains now is the wind and rain. I often miss Charles and Blanche's all-night conversation. The river in the manor is called bride, which means bride. So Brideshead is the meaning of Heyuan (which is precisely not shown in the whole film).

2 Episode 5 Hunting, of course, never tire of watching it. Reminds me of Bruckner's Fourth Symphony. The hunting habits of the English nobility are still a relic of the Middle Ages. The famous Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II (reigned from 1220 to 1250) wrote the famous eagle hunting guide.

The fox hunting or the hare in the film was the lowest level in the Middle Ages. The most noble is of course stag hunting, and in the early days it was bears, but later it was too dangerous to give up. Next is the wild boar. Medieval literature describes it. Back then there was a pyramid system of masters, entourages, hound supervisors, hunting assistants. Everything is divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Like Cordelia, there were also women in the Middle Ages, and we can see them in paintings.

In the first part of the film, the nobles gather in front of the castle to drink and warm up. In Sebastian's room, there are prints of knights riding horses on the wall, and below is a very beautiful nine-segment candlestick. Episode 6 also hangs these contents in Rex's office.

There are also sedan cars among the gathered nobles. We see that the license plate number is l X4502. Around the very beautiful racehorse, there are three-flowered puppies everywhere, with their tails waving, which is a breed of dogs, he knows a lot. The jockey has beautiful hair. Servants in tuxedos held wine trays and handed wine to the riders. Bride was already dressed in red, with a bonnet, gloves, and a riding whip. There was an old man with a pipe in his mouth, and another was drinking his wine.

Thunder's assistants, usually wearing berets, stood talking, waiting for the hunt to begin. Hunting is a step-by-step process, and what we saw at the beginning was a sport among horse racing, which required steeplechase. Someone blew a horn, a whistle. The posture is chic and can win the favor of women. 3

At the end of episode 7 is a little clip of Mrs. Marchmay's funeral, which is very interesting. Many people miss it.

The carriage pulled the black coffin and moved forward slowly. The focal point is the towering family cemetery, like a castle, with a dome like the Cathedral of Our Lady. It is their eternal resting place. In episode 9, you can see that Charles was painted in their living room in the early years. On one side is the mansion, and on the other is their family cemetery—one side is life, the other side is death. From cradle to grave.

A place that embodies the good culture of the British. Charles left the painting there and left his heart there. 4

The last episode is episode 11. After returning to the actual military career, Charles said something inexplicable, that is, this manor suddenly came to the era of Hope. In fact, Hope is in the first episode. The young guy who appeared at the beginning is mainly described in the novel, indicating that he is a person from the next generation of Charles, and he has a sense of carelessness and innocence.

Hope, represents a generation. The screenwriter of the TV series may not have noticed this one, so the lines are a bit confusing or unclear.

This previous quotation is Vaughan's usual irony.
