      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

    • John Davinier: Permit me to ask, why do you not dine with your family ever?

      Dido Elizabeth Belle: That is not correct.

      John Davinier: Forgive me, but twice now I have seen you separated from the gathering. I am confounded.

      Dido Elizabeth Belle: And well you might be when the son of clergy is permitted to the table before a lady of the house.

      John Davinier: Is that a reminder of my place?

      Dido Elizabeth Belle: No. It's a statement of mine.

    • Elizabeth Murray: Aren't you quietly relieved that you shan't be at the caprice of some silly sir and his fortune? The rest of us haven't a choice - not a chance of inheritance if we have brothers, and forbidden from any activity that allows us to support ourselves. We are but their property.

    • John Davinier: 'Tis pitiful. Such inability to simply know what value to put on another's life.

      Dido Elizabeth Belle: What price a worthless negro?

      John Davinier: You utterly misunderstand me. I am saying that no man may have the value of cargo. Human beings cannot be priced since we are priceless - free men and slaves alike. I am with others here. All students in law, applying pressure on the insurance companies to refuse from hereon to insure slaves on any ship.

      Dido Elizabeth Belle: But that would require a change in law.

      John Davinier: How can we expect to be civilized when we live in such a barbaric world? It is the utter injustice.

      Dido Elizabeth Belle: It is more than that. It is the shame of a law that would uphold a financial transaction upon that atrocity.
