      Rich-noble

      Rich-noble

      Noble, respectable, high, distinguished from humble.

      The rich, the original meaning is complete, mostly used for money, as opposed to poor.

      In ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, both of them are always inseparable, and they are both human desires. Once separated, there will be more stories. The film "Beauty Bell" is the best portrayal.

      Dido! Dido!

      Some people believe in fate, saying that man’s fate is destined, and some people do not believe in fate, saying that my fate is my destiny. The materialist world view believes that no one has set a personal life path for you, and everything is designed and practiced by yourself. But when a group of people or a group has the same or similar misfortunes, it is not a fate at all. It is discrimination, prejudice, and social defect left over from history. It is a big boil caused by unfair rules!...

      Add a gimmick to a beautiful woman, too far from a beautiful woman

      Just revisited the 95 version of "Pride and Prejudice", but I didn't like it. I even watched the flat-chested movie version of Kate Knightley in 2005, and I had great expectations for British classical dramas. Looking at this film from such a high starting point, it is destined that the gap is too big
      . First of all, it is a matter of aesthetic differences. The mixed-race heroine is not beautiful no matter how she looks, her facial features are not delicate, her body is flat, neither slim...

      Hello, Belle

      The first thing I do online every day is to check out what good movies and TV shows are available. It's a pity that for a long time, I haven't been able to find a film that moved, attracted and made me think. Fortunately, "Belle" fills this gap.
              This film is adapted from a true historical event in England: Belle's father was a British naval officer and her mother was a black slave in the West Indies. When she was four years old, her father brought her back to England and gave her...

      I'm so sorry to be born

      Why are there so few film reviews, and those who dare to fight the anachronism are great. Moved by the master's final decision, gratified for the love between Dido and the hero. All beings are equal, and this is true today, regardless of marriage, friendship, affection, regardless of blood, religion, belief, gender, or race. This is true for humans and so is for animals.

      In the winter vacation beginning in 2020, I watched a movie every day. I love British dramas, elegant and classical,...

      First of all, I found that after reading the novel, the observation of similar movies is more careful. Women's dress, dress, environment decoration, arrangement. Everything is for the sake of a more vivid restoration in the mind when reading novels. Second, understand that the law is a means to make society better, in western society, what about...

      At that time, the upper class in Britain was generally ashamed of slavery, and the film lacked restraint and failed to show the true British temperament of subtlety and...

    Movie plot

    Bell was raised by her aristocratic uncle Lord Katherine Mansfield ( Tom Wilkinson ) and his wife ( Emily Watson ) . Bell's birth gave her certain privileges, but her skin color prevented her from fully participating in social rights. But she was firm and courageous, and helped her uncle, who was the chief justice, put an end to slavery in Britain. In addition to fully demonstrating the courage of this woman, it also presents a love...

    Although "Belle" does not directly show the scenes of white slave owners' violence against black slaves, the spiritual and psychological damage presented by racial discrimination is obvious   . (Netease Entertainment Review)
    "Belle" uses an elegant and simple style to describe a true story deeply influenced by British slavery in the 18th century. Just like a romantic aesthetic legend written by Jane Austen, the film shows the gorgeous...

    Movie quotes

    • Lord Mansfield: What do you want, Dido? What precisely are you looking for? I have enabled every rule of convention so that you would know exactly where you belong. And yet, little appears enough for you.

      Dido Elizabeth Belle: And what if there were not a rule, Papa? What if the rule that allowed you to take me did not exist? Would you have returned me to the slums? You *are* courageous. When it comes to the matters you believe in, society is inconsequential. You break every rule when it matters enough, Papa. I am the evidence.

    • John Davinier: Religion cannot be the only guardian of our morality. Of course not. There is self-responsibility. And failing that, does the law not have a duty? Does the bench and parliament not have a duty to uphold and create the laws that progress our morality, not... not retard it, if not to protect us from others, then to protect us from ourselves? Laws that allow us to diminish the humanity of anybody are not laws. They are frameworks for crime. And, quite frankly, I really do not care if you, as an individual, are without character or conscience, but a land whose laws sanction, not control, the barbarous among its citizens, that is a country whose hope is lost.

      Lord Mansfield: Let justice be done, though the heavens may fall.
