Looking through the movie comment area, many of the new comments are from the British Masters Film Exhibition. I think I should write one as a souvenir. After all, as a person who only pays attention to a specific director and has seen a small number of movies, the first I was very excited to see this kind of film exhibition once. hh. First of all, it must be praised for the film's set and costumes. Personally, I like the British style too much, the retro clothing and room decoration are all exquisite, at least visually, it is perfect. Secondly, in terms of story structure and social attributes, the conflict between the middle class and the bourgeoisie is reflected all the time, and the boundaries between the lower class and the upper class are so clear and distinct. Bar is undoubtedly the worst one. His romanticism makes me think that he and Helen are a match made in heaven. I didn't think that he chose to marry his fiancée in the end, so when he sparked with Helen later, I would think, he is really the original. The most contradictory person in the play, on the one hand, was reluctant to leave his fiancee out of a sense of responsibility at first, and on the other hand, he knew exactly what kind of life he wanted and did not dare to choose. This may also be caused by his class. Regrettably, he never dared to ask for too much. He only dared to do what he wanted to do within his imagination and limited romantic boundaries. He couldn't find his way out in the cruel reality, which was pitiful and pathetic. The heroine Margaret is tolerant, open and compassionate, and can accept differences more peacefully and realistically, while the second female lead, Helen, is a more individual choice to live in her ideal world and has a pure yearning for love. and desperate courage. Looking at her, I suddenly thought of the scene in Sense and Sensibility, where Winslet's sister is reciting Shakespeare's sonnets to the house of a loved one in a rainstorm, but in general, the two sisters are independent and loving. The thinking character really shines. In terms of love belonging, the contrast between the two different forgiveness is very interesting, when Margaret said to Henry, I forgive you for having a mistress, and you can't accept my sister's behavior and let her stay One night at Howard Manor, behind this was still the issue of class, one cared about his family, the other only looked at whether his reputation was tarnished. Therefore, the only doubt about the film is the emotional line between Margaret and Henry. The two pursue different things, and they do not have the feeling that they must each other. I don't understand why Margaret chose to stay in the end. .
Personally, I don't like the ending of this movie very much, and some emotions are still not handled in place. For example, according to Helen's personality, after seeing that Ba was killed by Charles negligently, how could he still happily stay at Howard Manor and play with the children, and there is nothing in the footage about Helen's feelings about Ba's death; and As everyone mentioned in the comment area, Ba's wife has no name in the end. Are the lower classes just forgotten? Henry, who has always been interested in the male heir to Howard Manor, suddenly changed his mind and was willing to give the manor to Margaret? The way the ending goes doesn't fit everyone's personality.
