"If you lose, you will gain, just pursue." I like this sentence in the movie, the countryside and manor of England in the 18th and 19th centuries, the theme of this background is so fascinating. Patriarchal preference for women, and the inequalities of class and power had already taken root at that time. After watching Pride and Prejudice and this movie, I couldn't help but learn about the English manor. It turned out that the manor was a symbol of the nobility at that time, and it was inherited during the period when the nobility was in power. Although it was extremely unequal at that time, the deep sense of inheritance at that time was already very strong. An extremely luxurious manor, the family will live here for generations to repair and maintain this manor. It must be very safe to live here. For the heirs, they have a safe and comfortable place from birth. environment, and then it may be passed on to the next generation for a lifetime. Therefore, material things are no longer the primary pursuit, and they have more time to pursue spiritual beliefs and their own interests and tastes. This is enviable. It is unfair to a woman without inheritance rights, even if she was born into a noble family. In fact, just like us, boys are preferred over girls, and girls are expected to marry a manor heir when they grow up. For the manor and the British Village, such a wonderful natural environment makes me fall in love with it. One of the greatest charms of watching movies from this period! For the background music, gentle and emotionally powerful.
I want to say a little more about inheritance: in France, as soon as they have money, they want to repair and renovate historical buildings and houses. It happens that a building is repaired from generation to generation. They don't want to say I'll rebuild after I take over, which is very different from us. Even in Taiwan, a house is just a hundred years old and has lived for several generations. Therefore, the inheritance of culture has a carrier and can be passed down, which is worthy of appreciation. Why not in the UK, the design in the manor, the wooden floors, the wooden cabinets and tables...the murals, fireplaces and gardens are all left over from the ancestors, and they have been taken care of by servants and enduring for a long time. Seeing these, I will be moved by this. Environmental protection, no need for repeated logging, and things are so well cared for. In the British aristocracy, they all like to find a peaceful place to live, so the manor is generally not in the urban area. Despite the power, life is relatively simple, and feelings are relatively simple.
Austen Jane was also a Sagittarius, full of longing for life and love, but delicate emotions. No wonder I feel the feeling of seeing my heart when I look at neither her works.
