      A lot of morality is just a trick used by cowards to control the world

      Although it is easy to be sprayed with this, it is a fact. A lot of the ethics in our lives are just a means for cowards to control the world. Because I am afraid of breaking the so-called norm, I spare no effort to consolidate this norm, and use the so-called pressure of public opinion to punish those who break the norm. And the existing moral code is only a product of survival in a certain time and region. People like the heroine cannot allow their lives to be imprisoned under the ridiculous...

      it's the only way

      When I gossip with children's shoes, I talk about a couple. The male silver in this couple is more likely to make money, but it is normal for any male silver with some money to spend it.

      This is the same as the recently published diary of an official. He didn't greedy a lot, and he didn't have a dozen mistresses. Everyone said that this was really a clean official, and that was a truth.

      This man who can make money spends money outside, and then he goes home and says to his...

      unfinished song

      She had put so much effort into this love, with all her sincerity and conviction. For her, it was her earthly bond to the world. If you love this man, you can change yourself, compromise with his family, get married, maybe have children, maintain the family, bathe in the sunset, and obtain the realistic happiness that most people in the world expect.

      She thought that this would be the best way to end the pain of being naked in the past. In this quiet corner, a loving and touching love...

      Not water, just Yang Hua, after a tango

      She is so bright and moving, the wind in the English countryside, the bright sunshine in winter, and the bleakness of the people around her complement her soft blonde hair and make her eyes clear. If the black and white part of the movie at the beginning didn't make me fully aware of her beauty, but when I got back to John's house, she got out of the car, she raised her hat, I saw her red lips, her Smile, I believe I'm just like Mr. Whitaker, and my heart is pounding right away.

      The structure is chaotic, the theme is not clear, the focus is not prominent, the thinking is simplistic, and the characters are on the surface of words and deeds. Two words: bad...

      For Bell, the identity of the daughter-in-law of the English manor is not suitable, not because of the plot, but because she herself is not like a person of that era. For Barnes, he is destined to lose his wife, still not because of the plot, but because he looks too fresh and tender, the interaction between husband and wife is more like a stepson and stepmother, but it happens that his father is still handsome. But the problem came back to Bell. She was supposed to be the kind of strong...

The young Englishman John Witke ( played by Ben Barnes ) fell madly in love with an American girl named Lalita ( played by Jesse ) . She is so sexy, glamorous, charming, and open-minded. The two got married soon and couldn't wait.
    However, when the newlyweds returned to the Witke family’s big house in the UK,...

    Movie quotes

    • Mrs. Whittaker: Is it true you've had as many lovers as they say?

      Larita Whittaker: [gets up from the dinner table] Of course it's not true, Mrs. Whitaker. Hardly any of them actually loved me.

    • Larita Whittaker: People are so universally similar when their guard is down.

      Mr. Whittaker: Seems they are universally similar when their guard is up, as well.

    • Larita Whittaker: I married him because any other relationship seemed... cheap... squalid.
