North and South

It is my favorite type of drama. It is moderate in length and exciting. I have always liked British dramas. British dramas can always show an unparalleled British atmosphere, and this drama is particularly strong.

This story, which happened in Milton in the north, has the tone of the industrial revolution, and it is shrouded in deep colors on the gorgeousness of the southern countryside. Every frame is full of the texture of oil painting.

The opening brings a strong sense of "Pride and Prejudice", but it is fuller because of its era background.

South and North, arrogance and prejudice, prejudice is not only a result of misunderstanding caused by regional differences, but also the hatred accumulated between classes. The heroine once described Milton in the letter: How cold and cruel here is, there are contradictions and meanness everywhere, I think the gods abandoned this place, I think I see hell, it is white. The society at that time must have been so cruel. The capitalists exploited the workers, and the workers forced the workers to strike. Whether they were capitalists or members of trade unions, they all had their own positions, and there was no right or wrong in order to survive. Therefore, when Higgins set off a wave of workers' strikes, not everyone could unite to the end. For example, Boucher lost his meager breadwinner's salary for the strike, which would endanger the life and death of a family of eight. In the end, he could not bear the pressure and suicide. His character image is a reflection of people at the bottom of society in the past, very poor and miserable, without hope, and can never escape the tragic fate.

But there is always warmth in dark days. The heroine Margret is the bridge connecting the two classes, as well as helping the poor in the dirty and narrow alleys, friendship with the Higgins family, and finally indirectly helping Nicholas find a new job. , I think the setting of this person must be the kindest party.

Mainly labelled as love, the show shares a lot of similarities with Pride and Prejudice in the love part. The encounter between the male protagonist Mr. Thornton and the female protagonist Margret, the female protagonist became prejudiced against him because she saw the scene where the male protagonist was an employer and reprimanded the workers, and the male protagonist had a love for the female protagonist, and soon after he confessed, he ran into a wall, but then The two had a misunderstanding due to the identity of the heroine's older brother and her visit. Gradually, the heroine found her own feelings, and eventually the two were bound to be together. Misunderstanding and prejudice are very important condiments for the two stories, but the assists in "Pride" are only Mrs. Catherine, and there are simply too many god assists in this show. The male protagonist's mother Mrs.Thronton, Mr.bell, and The most important misunderstanding clarified by Nicholas Higgins.

Let's talk about the actors again. The protagonists are well chosen and have a strong temperament. They interpret the gentleman's demeanor and the British's subtlety very well. But after watching the bullet screen, I know that there are still so many people who are so superficial that they only look at their faces when they watch the drama. What kind of face can satisfy them? Maybe the image of the heroine is not the most standard and good-looking to us, but in the play, or in that era, her gentle and unique temperament absolutely burst the audience. The male protagonist is very calm, not angry and arrogant, and has his own aura. Although he is generally serious, he will be cruel when he smiles. The most impressive and classic is the end of the two people kissing at the station, those eyes, that Smile, contract global sugar. Many people compare the male protagonist with Mr. Darcy. They are both gentlemen, stable and dignified, and handsome. I prefer Darcy in the book. The most funny thing in the whole play is the male protagonist's sister Fanny. Perhaps her name has already confirmed her funny character. She is exaggerated in words and deeds and makes a fuss. In fact, she is very naive at heart, like a cute fool. In addition, there are few British actors. Today once again proved the truth of this stalk. I saw Downton Bates in a film and television drama for the third time, but strangely speaking, I never liked the role he played, even though he always played decent.

As a visual art, film (drama) has its unique expressive power. In the book, I develop infinite imagination and experience it with the description, and every look or inadvertent little action of the characters in the film and film, every The close-up of the scene and even the soundtrack can sometimes be more emotional than the book, making people feel the mood of the characters at once, and even foreshadowing the next plot, such as Thronton's knowing smile, Margret's sad eyes, the book is OK Write down people's feelings, but if you describe them everywhere, it will reduce its level because it is too cumbersome, and people will lose the space for imagination. Therefore, the book is more about the experience in the mind, while the film is intuitive. See and feel. I don’t usually like to study history, or to deliberately understand history, but to a certain extent, movies and books will subtly integrate some historical events and cultures into my mind, which will affect me for a long time.

Finally, I want to sigh, watching movies and dramas, whether there is a barrage that really affects the pleasure of watching movies at some point, the world of barrage is as exciting as a movie, watching a bunch of people of all kinds have all kinds of questions and thoughts. , sometimes I happen to meet comments that echo my own thoughts, and it is very satisfying. What impressed me the most was that when the male protagonist failed to propose like the female protagonist, the whole screen was shouting: It was as tragic as a textbook, Darcy's long-lost brother, they should talk about how to propose correctly, it should have been an embarrassing scene, I But laughed.

    The hero is so charming! The actors did a great job too! When he said look back, look back at me, he pokes his heart every time he thinks about it. TT may only have 4 episodes. I feel that the plot is progressing a little faster. I hope to find time to read the original!
