      You have to see what's hidden behind

      I haven't read the book, and I haven't seen the movie. If I haven't read other movie reviews, I really have a wrong understanding of this movie, or I don't understand it at all. Just read the encyclopedia again, it turns out that this movie has won so many awards. Really need to think about it.

      Let’s talk about the reason for the misunderstanding first. First of all, Helen is kind of weird, and I don't like her looks, she's a bit bold, so I can't appreciate her behavior. Talkative,...

      The Class Gap Reconciled by Kindness and Tolerance

      Very good film, very full of British life style, in general, let's talk about the gap between social classes, the Best couple, Margaret's family, Wilcox's family, respectively represent the lower and middle upper three levels. Poor Best walked a long way through the dark night to the manor, but was ruthlessly killed by the arrogance of the real caste. The author's use of this tragic and ironic ending is undoubtedly strongly critical - even a barren manor in the rich's domain is not something...

      Are you Helen or Margaret?

      I didn't know this movie was so old before I watched it, but Helena in it was still thinking, her makeup skills are very good, she couldn't see the goddess in "Alice in Wonderland" and "Cinderella" at all. The little girl from "A Room with a View". It was only when I saw Emma that I suddenly realized that it was a film from the 1990s.
          I recently broke up, so I have a strong sense of immersion in any subject matter. My personality is very similar to Margaret in it. I focus on...

      I love the rear window trail full of flowers

      Here, you can see the home scene of the British upper class in the early 20th century. You will like the luxurious mansions in the city (the second picture), the paintings on the walls of the stair passages, and the rows of books in the collection, but you still I feel that the upper class family is cold.
        
         It's the small manor in the countryside. You will like its porch and the back of the house. You like the path outside that only allows bicycles to pass. It is not as big as the...

      Three and a half. The cast is strong and the scenery is beautiful, but a bit incompetent in understanding, and the plot has been developing, but it is like a running...

      A little longer, but nice. This cast is awesome. And Helena Carter was so pretty back then, just like in a room with a...

      What I admire most is that Margaret hid herself in the room, collapsed and cried. She came out and continued to talk about the overall situation in a gentle and virtuous manner, in front of her husband. Seeing that her sister Helen was pregnant, she didn't rush to be surprised, but first figured out the matter and then figured out a solution. She was very rational and full of love for the people around her. Is this the legendary perfect woman? She licked Helena throughout the whole process....

      I have only read half of the famous book about the manor, but the old and young members of the Wilkesk family, who have always been selfish and arrogant, ended up being very happy. It’s just that Helen, a woman who has always been independent, finally stood...

      len and jacky are a poor couple. The soundtrack is really good. I've always loved stories about a poor, talented, and upright man falling in love with a prostitute. The wealthy and hypocritical Howards are so boring......

Before Mrs. Wilcos died of serious illness, she left a will and gave the country house Howards End to Margaret. Henry Wilcos discovered the will and hid it.

    "Howards End" is permeated with an elegant flavor of English literature. The film uses implicit interpersonal relationships to portray the embarrassment and helplessness of life to the smallest degree   . Through dramatic irony, the film expresses Leonard's cultural pursuit as a non-utilitarian spiritual yearning and emotional sustenance, and shows the beauty and light that cultural pursuits may bring through the concrete function of...

    Movie quotes

    • [first lines]

      Margaret Schlegel: [reading letter] Dearest Meg, I'm having a glorious time. I like them all. They are the very happiest, jolliest family that you can imagine. The fun of it is that they think me a noodle, and say so - at least, Mr. Wilcox does. Oh Meg, should we ever learn to talk less.

      [laughing]

    • Helen Schlegel: [Leonard storms out after the Schlegel sisters try to warn him about his job] What was all that about?

      Leonard Bast: I knew I shouldn't have come back. It was all right last time, but things like that always get spoiled.

      Helen Schlegel: Things do, but people don't! Don't you understand? We really did want to warn you about the Porphyrion. We were worried about you!

      Leonard Bast: ...why should you worry about me?

      Helen Schlegel: Because we *like* you! That's why!... you absolute noodle.

      Leonard Bast: [now awkward and ashamed] There's no need to call a person names...

      Helen Schlegel: Oh yes there is, when a person is being tremendously stupid!

    • Margaret Schlegel: Henry, look at me. You were that woman's lover?

      Henry Wilcox: Since you put it with your usual delicacy, yes I was.

      Margaret Schlegel: When?

      [no answer]

      Margaret Schlegel: When, please?

      Henry Wilcox: [angry] Ten years ago!

      [calmer]

      Henry Wilcox: I'm sorry. Ten years ago.

      Margaret Schlegel: Henry, dear... it's not going to trouble us.
