kill people, drink tea

If you are not going well, your married life is dead, your husband is prudish and boring; your teenage daughter is bringing home a "bad boy" all day long to taste the forbidden fruit; Love had to hide; even the neighbor's dog came to make trouble, barking early in the morning to make it impossible to sleep. At this point, are you secretly hoping that something will happen to magically change all this? Such a thing really happened. In a small English town with only 57 people, the Reverend Goodefeller's family welcomed the middle-aged housekeeper Miss Hawkins. Miss Hawkins, well-dressed and smiling, took good care of Mrs. Goodefeller's family of four, like the legendary and exemplary English housekeeper. Strange things happened one after another: the wicked boy who often bullied the younger son suddenly broke the brakes and fell to the side of the road. Since then, the younger son raised his eyebrows. The rebellious and indulgent daughter suddenly developed a strong interest in making traditional pasta and made a reassuring boyfriend. The stereotyped Mr. Goodefeller suddenly turned into a master joker, turning the gloomy and dreary church into a hilarious one. The marriage of the two also gradually thawed, and life regained joy. If this is all caused by one person, then you must agree that she is a fairy. Miss Hawkins was such an old angel. She secretly instructed the family with kindness and wisdom, pushed aside the dust net of time, and let happiness come again. If the story ends here, it is just another sweet pastoral story. This movie is not so simple, the little villain not only fell, but fell to his death. "Third Party" Lance's car was found parked alone on the side of the road, and the owner did not know where to go. The noisy puppy and the dog owner suddenly quieted down. The truth hits the spot. Mrs. Goodefeller and her daughter suddenly saw the news of the "Luggage Killer" on TV and were horrified to find that the killer was - you're right, Miss Hawkins. Mother and daughter Sherlock Holmes usually went to the housekeeper's room to find out what was going on. They were blocked by Miss Hawkins and hid under the bed in a hurry. Miss Hawkins was still polite when she fished them out on her phone: "Can you come out from under the bed, please?" Playing Mrs Goodefeller - Kristen Scott Thomas; golf coach Lance Yes - Patrick Swayze; Miss Hawkins is - you're right! Maggie Smith; Mr. Goodefeller is — Mr. Bean Ron Atkins. As soon as these faces appeared, people couldn't help but wait eagerly to watch the show, just to see how the director arranged it. These "horns" can be pulled together into a drama, even if Kristen Scott Thomas has "take a back seat" after "The English Patient", and has been "main drama" She also made me a little worried. I don't want her transformation to be so invisible, especially in the scene of cheating with Swayze, panicking and scrambling. See people happy. It goes without saying that Maggie Smith is a showgirl. In this play, it is not only a kind-hearted fairy, but also a cold-blooded series killer! The "Guardian"'s warmth, benevolence, and ruthless eyes all appeared on her alone. A recognizing mother and daughter with Mrs. Goodefeller is a real tragedy, but it is not too much to spoil the rhythm of this warm sketch. What's particularly interesting is that, unlike all the killers in the world, she is a "cute" killer with an innocent face. Many years ago, the husband and his mistress who killed Shuang Shuang who escaped, asked the judge's scolding in surprise, "I can't let them escape like this", as if she was doing the most natural thing in the world. When helping her daughter to remove obstacles one by one, she must wear a waterproof raincoat delicately. After killing people, she smiled and said to her daughter's grandson, "I'll make some tea," as if she had just returned from pruning flowers and trees in the garden. The most interesting thing for me was seeing Ron Atkins perform. One of the highlights of this movie is that the actors are completely reversed, and the drama's Kristin Scott Thomas is comedy, and the too famous comedian Ron Atkins is tragic. The effect is natural. Not contrived at all. Of course, "Mr. Bean" also has comedy opportunities. Mr. Goodefeller was invited to give a speech and nervously referred to "God" as "fish", which reminded people of the "Holy Spirit" and "Water Faucet" in "Four Weddings and One Funeral" relationship; comically clumsy on the football field. However, it is not too much, and it does not affect his tragic image of being "conservative and pious" in the film and completely powerless to his personal life in crisis. Interestingly, he is famous for his comedy and plays the main drama, but he does not have the "habitual disapproval" of our Ge You and Song Dandan. Even though he still has his short nose, he is stunned when facing his wife's show of love. Knowing that his wife was cheating on her silently endured and responded to the parishioners' needs, she was convincing without any obstacles, like a British version of Leicester with a little more elegance. British humor is powerful again. They can also play themselves as clowns, but the people who watch the show are like mirrors. They know that the person who plays the treasure is first of all a "wise man". ". What's more, Atkins's Oxford background and his beautiful and melodious English made it almost easy for him to change his status from a former clown to this kind of "middle-class tragic figure". Peeling off the Keeping Mum "killer packaging", "magical elements" and "cold humor style", it is actually a British "American Beauty". But what makes me selfishly feel that it is a high-ranking chess game: in the face of the same cruel and desperate fact, it still remains calm, because it knows that it is meaningless to cry. In addition to pointing out the happy maze for the couple in the play, Grace Hawkins's happy attitude in the face of adversity is: drink tea, kill people; kill people, drink tea. Also, don't expect this movie to be full of laughs, and some people don't even think it's a comedy. Absurdity and sarcasm are both silent. Maybe you were completely unresponsive and burst into laughter later; maybe you saw the secret and smiled knowingly along the way. Inspired by Miss Hawkins, Goodefeller begins to discover love in the Bible that is revived throughout the dynasty, and to relive joy with his long-neglected wife. Looking at the still seductive body in his wife's silk pajamas, Goodefeller couldn't help but chant "Song of Songs" in his heart. Ron's chant appears again at the end of the film, in his deep voice, Song of Solomon is so moving---- Song of Solomon Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine He kisses me with his mouth; for your love is better than wine His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. His left hand will be under my head, and his right hand will embrace me Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.

    Once Bean doesn’t work hard to be funny, it’s very funny. This film also gathers British veteran stars. The plot is slightly artificial, but it’s okay.
