Behind the glitz

It may not be considered a popular movie. I asked a colleague who watched this film and said it was very boring. It's really boring. Someone will leave the show halfway through the movie theater for more than two hours. But boring movies are not necessarily good movies, as the boring movies I admire represent "The Best Time" and "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring."
I haven't checked how much it has at the box office, but the film has won many awards. The reason for winning the award, I think, may be that the film reproduced the hypocritical and luxurious life of the British aristocracy in the 1830s. The film was exquisite and true. People have high and low status, but there is no distinction between high and low in the soul. People with high status may have ugly souls. The owner of Gosford Manor, William McCord and his wife Sylvia, and a group of noble friends they invited are just such a group of people, everyone has a secret. Only Mary, the Countess’s maid, was the most awake. She quietly observed all kinds of people in this manor, and gradually discovered that there was no clear separation between the upper class and the servant’s world. On the contrary, the two worlds Because of the inextricable connections created by various complex relationships, there are actually disturbing factors buried in the relaxed atmosphere of the manor. No one knows how William died, including the self-righteous detective. Only Mary knows this great secret, and she will bear it for her life, because this secret belongs to the same person as her.
When you first watch it, many people will regard it as a Christie-style suspense movie. From the beginning, they look forward to the death of someone. Especially on the first night, when Henry Denton and Silvia have an affair, some seem to be The scenes suggesting what happened, such as the time when the wall clock appeared twice, the servant couldn't find a knife, etc. As a result, nothing happened that night. In the middle of the film, which was the second night, when everyone was immersed in Novero’s singing, several people left the scene. After the murder, they came back one by one. Everyone asked where they went, and people began to wonder who it was. murderer. The inspector came, and I began to expect that the inspector could pull out the cocoon like Poirot, and see the fog, but it was the clever and careful maid Mary who finally solved the puzzle. In fact, this film is the Gosford in Mary’s eyes. De Manor.
