'Downton is like an outdated and outdated snail, wandering in the fairy and warm bushes between. 'It may seem a bit inappropriate to describe it like that, but that's how it feels. It moved slowly, inadvertently, not even lightly. This is an old dream, a leisurely revolution, just like the fragrance of the fragrant flower dew that penetrates a little bit. It is almost elegant and casual, but it opens up your senses like a sudden opening, and all visual languages are redefined in an instant.
It redefines the pace of a world. Whenever you see those delicate and elegant scenery, you will feel that your body has slowed down unconsciously, forgetting those malicious and bleak things. You slowly open the door and see an almost A world that can no longer be found anywhere. The white windows are clean, the copper pot is light and shadow, the tree shadow is mottled, and the dew is as translucent as crystal. The women's clothes are as thin as clouds and as bright as silk, while the men are calm, waiting for the world to settle down. They worry about justice and attitude, but they also care about the real feelings of those around them.
The people in Downton are so devoted and serious about their lives, carefully identifying what is right and what is wrong. Choose love seriously, and even be honest about your own character. I really like the feelings of this kind of investment. It is not a fast food culture, and I don't care about temporary misunderstandings. It exists so low-key and implicit. Even in the somewhat flamboyant Marie, you can see the shadow of simplicity and humility.
The character of each character is so beautiful, and those figures that are as vivid as sculptures, you almost feel that their characters are so real and ready to appear, as if they appeared in front of your eyes. The kind Anna, the warm-blooded low-key and forbearing Bates, the simple and warm Matthew, the flamboyant and talented Marie, the sincere and wise master, and even the vicious and mean Thomas, everyone's personality is so appropriate, even if You don't know their names, but you seem to be so familiar with these people. And you can understand the psychology and motivation of each person's actions, and you are always ready to be moved by their brave or strong choices.
The arrival of Bates is an introduction, not only the first episode, but almost every subsequent episode starts with him. He is like the grandma Liu of the Dream of Red Mansions who brings everyone into the world of Grand View Garden. The weird world, this is really the best setting. The first episode opened with a subtle but beautiful opening music, like opening up a new world. Bates rode the train into the audience's line of sight. His eyes were so hopeful and firm, as if he was moving forward without any worries. And this train, I think, also has a certain meaning for Downton. With his perspective, we saw the busy and orderly figures of the servants of Downton Abbey when they were preparing in the morning. Watching the daily life of the big family, this shot couldn't be more natural.
I like Miss Marie. In fact, she is the most entangled in Downton's self-awareness and the external world, and she probably always has a feeling of turmoil in her heart. Especially the episode of Prince of Turkey, when she talks about why I can't get a moment of happiness, she is also just a little woman who wants to taste the sweetness of love, not indulgence, just want to be loved.
I still like Matthew, especially the episode where he debated with Marie at the dinner table. The sparks of thinking are flying everywhere. It's more romantic than the bed-rolling. After Rui's language attack, he can control himself and fight back without embarrassing Marie. It's really wonderful!
The dialogue is even more wonderful: the strokes are all made of magic. For example, Napier knew that Marry's mother wanted to match them, and she clearly liked Marry, but she said, I'm a dull person, I have to tell the truth, I'm not boring but I am a bit dull, of course some people will appreciate me, some will not, but I still think that if one person thinks that I am dull, then we will not love each other, and there is no point in getting married if we don’t love each other. (I can't remember the original words, but it probably means this), but these words are very confident and firm in their modesty, full of self-esteem, and they did not hurt anyone. They should really be praised.
And I think Downton is the most amazing person, that fat female chef. Every time Deicy praises Thomas, she just sees everything and smiles disdainfully. She seems to have a clear understanding of the world, but she doesn't want to interfere too much. , such a person with IQ and emotional intelligence, and later she wanted to wake up again. Deicy said that Thomas was not interested in women, and the most important thing was that he was a depraved person, and the adjective depraved was too apt. . . Couldn't be better!
At the end of the third episode, when Bates and Mrs. Hughes were standing by the lake throwing leg braces, Mrs. Hughes said, 'We all have scars, inside and out, what's the embarrassment about that? At the time, I really thought this was too good, yes, why do we not know how to accept our ugly or incomplete self, why life must be self-abusing perfection, why can't we just let him go and be at ease.
In the fourth episode, where Mrs. Hughes comforted William, it said that if she can't see your goodness, it means that she is not worthy of you! !
There is also the place where the Earl rushed out to stop the car in the first episode. Although the Earl only said one sentence, "Bates, you come down, don't mention the matter of your leaving again, but that sentence made the Earl's whole person's image full." , with such a powerful and unpretentious sense of integrity, so touching, as the end of the opening first episode is wonderful and indescribable. Downton, really, very, very wonderful! ! !
There's so much to say, I just want to say this~
