I almost gave up the drama several times, and I have complicated feelings about it, and I can't explain it in a few words.

At first, I felt very fresh. The British costume drama jointly produced by HBO and BBC is not as slow and long as the traditional one, but it has an unexpected liveliness. For example, the heroine will break the fourth wall and directly flirt with the camera; Shooting the heroine's stride, and it's a long shot, whether it's to highlight the character's character or speed up the narrative rhythm, it's immediate.

But soon I started to feel uncomfortable because the two heroines met. LGBT themes are no longer new today, and I don't reject les plots, but for some reason, the female lead gives me a lingering sense of wretchedness. You know, this is Lala who loves her career so far. She quarrels and curses, collects rent and opens a coal mine. I can watch it. Only the emotional scene with the second female, I will make up for the sex and turn into a man— - Still obscene.

This play is adapted from the diary of the female first prototype character. This diary expert has been writing and writing throughout his life, leaving hundreds of thousands of words of uninterrupted private life records. Today, he has become the object of enthusiastic interpretation by many readers. "84 Charing Cross Street" also mentioned another male author's private diary (can't remember the name), listening to miss hanff's tone seems to be a best-seller in English literature. Forget someone who said that the Chinese are very fond of words and diligently make various records. Many great undertakings in later generations may have relied on a gossip left unintentionally by an unwilling scholar in the old paper pile - such as the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands. Even when Western anthropologists study the ancient ethnic groups around China, they have to pick up all kinds of records from the ancient books of the Han people.

I wondered, it turns out that the people in this world who have the most similar morality to our Han people are the English people?

The female one mentioned that her uncle left all his property to her because he knew that her father was not talented and could not manage money. This is the stalk I am most interested in in the whole play. Does it really fit British history?

One of the plots in the play that touched me the most was not that Annie was crying because of her broken love, or that she was easy to do in business, but that she told her friends late at night that her friend advised her to marry a man. In this way, Can easily have everything. And Annie replied: I just want to live with people who love me, I just want to spend the night with people who love me the same, a person who can talk about anything at any time. For her, the meaning of life is to follow the heart. She herself has practiced this all her life. Friends said that she might not find such a lover in her life, but it turns out that Anne Liszt owns Ann Walker. Perhaps Annie’s approach is ulterior motive, but in the future plots, I think we can see her being moved by Ann’s sincerity and courage, and sincerely walk with each other through her life.

Must give 5 stars. Originally I just wanted to watch to pass the time, but the first 10 minutes had already caught me, and after watching 3 episodes, this drama has become my All-Time Top 5. After reading the interview of the screenwriter, this script has been prepared for 20 years, and it can be said that the screenwriter's life-long work. I love the subtle and full dramatic tension of British dramas. The chemical reaction between the big bad wolf and the little yellow duck is really more exciting than watching a small movie. Best of the Year! !
