      Tradition and innovation may not contradict

      In the creation of a typical Hollywood-style melodrama, men are often the dominant figures in the family. Although men are not present in films such as "Home of Loyalty" and "After Farewell," they are also important hidden characters. If the role of the mother is used to provoke the burden of the whole melodrama, this is from the perspective of the bystander, and it will provide some fresh air to the traditional Hollywood family melodrama.

    Evaluation action

    "Mrs Miniver" is the most artistically accomplished film in World War II movies. The film focuses on humanity and humanity care. Although political propaganda is inevitable, the outstanding performance of film artists makes this film describing the lives of ordinary people in the rear area better than many films that promote heroism and become a civilian war. One of the representative works of the film (Comment on "Popular Film")  .

    • Clem Miniver: Good ol' Vin.

      Kay Miniver: Good luck, Vin!

    • Vicar: [to Lady Beldon who has just entered the railway compartment he is already sharing with Mrs. Miniver] Good evening, Lady Beldon.

      Lady Beldon: Good evening, vicar. Oh, oh, shopping's absolutely impossible nowadays! You can't get near the counter and when you do, they haven't got it and you pay twice as much for it.

      Vicar: [laughs] What a wonderful description!

      Lady Beldon: [to her servant] Sit down, Simmons, and don't snip!

      [to the vicar]

      Lady Beldon: My dear man, I spent the whole afternoon being pushed around by middle-class females buying things they can't possibly afford.

      Kay Miniver: Oh dear, that means me.

      Lady Beldon: Oh no, much worse!

    • Toby Miniver: Are you going to marry Carol, Vin?

      Toby Miniver: Why not? You're brave, aren't you?

      Judy Miniver: Don't be so silly, Toby. Gentlemen don't propose when they're eating.

      Vin Miniver: Of course it isn't.

      Carol Beldon: Toby.
