everyone has a secret

The famous Gosford Park, won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Watching such a complicated film actually requires a bit of patience. Just at the beginning, even the master and the servant, the thirty or forty characters, made me dizzy. After watching it for thirty or forty minutes, I basically understood the characters. The relationship, which has been interspersed with many characters and complicated and lengthy dialogue scenes, made me a little drowsy, but I watched it patiently and gradually saw some meaning. The master upstairs, the servants downstairs, everyone With a ghost in mind, borrowing the name of a Korean movie, "Everyone has a secret", can accurately express the core of this movie. Williams, the owner of the manor who was killed, was just like the character of Sun Shaozu all the way in "A Dream of Red Mansions". Since he was young, "the girls and women in the family have been prostituted by him." The low-level fat cooks all suffer, and the illegitimate children scattered among the people, whether alive or dead, can't be counted.
Ryan Philip is indeed too handsome. He was born with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes. It is a waste not to hook people. The first time I remembered him was "Dangerous Game" a few years ago. Later, Koreans borrowed this story and made it into a movie. "Scandal" set in ancient Joseon. There was gossip that he had just divorced Rachael Witherspoon (Legal Blonde heroine) and that they had two children under their knees. Rachel Witherspoon looks sweet, but Ryan Phillippe is more like a young teenager who never grows up. The marriage between the two was not very promising from the beginning, and now they have gone their separate ways. . Compared with Ryan, Jack Jarenshire, a good family man, may be more suitable for Witherspoon. Even less like a servant than the fake servant Ryan Philip is Clive Owen, who plays the bastard son who came for revenge. He is so tall and so "sword-shaped", with an aristocratic temperament, and the identity of a personal servant can be true. Not for him.

    In the first hour, you need to concentrate 200% of your energy to smooth the relationship between the characters. Of course, after the conflict broke out, it was really wonderful. In this chaotic deep house compound and the relationship between master and servant, there will always be words in the lines. Needless to say, the performance of you guys is really enjoyable. Is a movie that needs to be watched a second time

    Intricate character relationships, complex British dialogue, not a movie that can be seen through once. Now it seems that every actor is a big name in the UK, and even a few are big Hollywood stars. The lineup can be described as gorgeous. While the story line and narrative style are not in line with conventional detective or suspenseful themes, the director's heavy brushwork on the lives of nobles and their servants is ironic.

Gosford Park quotes

  • [talking about Lady Sylvia]

    Mary Maceachran: What was her family like?

    Elsie: What you'd expect: toffee-nosed and useless. Her father was the Earl of Carton, which sounds good except he didn't have a pot to piss in.

  • Elsie: Why do we spend our time living through them? Look at poor old Lewis. If her own mother had a heart attack, she'd think it was less important than one of Lady Sylvia's farts.
