I don't know how to express my love for "Downton Abbey" in the most appropriate words.
If the process is too beautiful, it seems to be playing a house, and there is a distorted joy. It is a gorgeous castle and a villain couple in a cellophane paperweight, always separated by an unbreakable crystal wall .
And the truth is, everyone here is the protagonist of the story, and everyone has their own good and bad.
Eldest Miss Mary is the aristocratic lady in the manor with her own halo, but she was an unpleasant character at first.
As arrogant as she is, she reveals a superior attitude in her bones, and reveals suffocating indifference and selfishness about some things;
As beautiful as her, she thought that as long as she winked, a man would follow him;
As vain as she is, as long as she can safeguard the interests and destiny of the entire family, she is ready to marry the right marquis.
In fact, Mary is like a mirror, and many people see the real and unpretentious self in it.
At the beginning of the encounter, a typical British "Pride and Prejudice" was staged
British writer Jane Austen once said in Pride and Prejudice: " Pride keeps me from loving others, prejudice keeps others from loving me. "
Mary seems to be at ease in the love scene, but at first she didn't like a "country lawyer" like Matthew. She arrogantly compares her union with him to a princess and a sea monster.
Matthew was neither angry nor speechless, but answered open-mindedly: "Whether the princess and the sea monster are worthy or not, we must know more about the princess and the sea monster to draw a conclusion." The peaceful and tolerant way of life, Visible.
Later, he fell in love with her at first sight, and secretly fell in love; but she refused his confession. Many times, the road twists and turns, stops and goes, and suddenly looks back and finds that the man is in the dim light.
Until Lavinia shows up, Matthew is ready to get engaged to this peaceful and kind girl. It was only when Mary began to face her heart that she secretly loved Matthew.
The heavy responsibilities of the family and the future make her in a dilemma, unable to be herself, unable to choose between status and love.
Marrying a newspaper tycoon may have been a shortcut to staying pampered, but she didn't want to be coerced by her scandal with the Turkish ambassador and stood up bravely.
Finally, in the snowy night, Matthew proposed to Mary. The two finally opened their hearts, put aside all the worldly arrogance and prejudice and came together.
When we are together, thank you for your affection and love
It is said that life is like a grand dance, everyone will dress up to attend, and there will always be a suitable dance partner. In the end, most people have no regrets and smiles.
They jointly operate and manage the affairs of the upper and lower levels, stay with each other day and night, and guard the beautiful manor like an oil painting. The days are like songs, simple, plain and happy.
Matthew's kindness and wisdom subtly influenced Mary; his understanding and acceptance of Brandon also made the Earl's family re-examine the future development direction of the manor.
Mary also gradually transformed from that powerful and willful little girl into a mature and wise woman. In a different sense, just like what she said: "It was the horse who changed me and made me change for the better!"
This is suddenly reminiscent of Eileen Chang's "Love in a Fallen City", "The fall of Hong Kong fulfilled her. But in this unreasonable world, who knows what is the cause and what is the effect? Who knows, maybe it is because she wants to fulfill her." , a metropolis has fallen."
In a sense, there is no necessary cause and effect, they complement each other.
Since at the juncture of fate, I have chosen to hold the hand of my son and grow old together with my son, we are destined to race against time and do not live up to that touch of affection.
After parting, move forward and survive strong
Perhaps God is jealous of this pair of beautiful people, trying to steal the peace and tranquility of the present life.
A car accident separated the yin and yang of the two lovers.
Matthew passed away quietly, leaving Mary completely, unable to fulfill the rest of the banquet in her life.
She was completely immersed in the pain of losing Matthew. She wore mourning clothes for half a year, feeling sad and depressed. The old lady comforted her: " Choose to live or choose to die."
This is also what we want to see. After all, Matthew's death is too sad. And Mary's affection is so deep that we gradually start to like her.
The years have unknowingly worn away the sharp things on her body, making her more friendly and gentle. This may also be the proper way for a woman to transform from a girl to a mother.
Mary was not destined to always be hard, but she never let out the soft parts of her heart easily. This is not an easy task for a woman.
But we still saw that she wept in front of Butler Carson twice, and finally unloaded her arms and defenses.
Stubborn, she resolutely provokes the lead, bears the pressure of the declining family, and moves forward with a strong load. Even in the most downhearted moments, he never gave up to adapt to the changes of the times.
This kind of Mary is no longer the girl who only looked for the vanity of the beetle-in-law, but a character who is more and more loved and appreciated.
Finally, we are at peace with the change, reconciled with our true selves, and with the changing world around us.
Perhaps, people's life is always in pursuit, entanglement or struggle, numbness. But this is life, and prosperity and loneliness are only fleeting. By the time you find out, it's over.
But no matter what kind of gift fate can give, never giving up is the greatest noble in spirit and the greatest compromise to life.
