It's all for Knightley's beautiful appearance and the retro British manor movie style. Knightley's appearance is still online, and the manor is still so beautiful, which is the plot of the movie.
One sentence plot: Georgiana married a duchess with the "mission" of giving birth to a son (son), unable to have a verbal and spiritual fit with her husband, endured her husband's indulgence and derailment, and even had her only sustenance in marriage, her good friend Elizabeth. . She couldn't bear it any longer. The appearance of her old love, Gray, made her lust explode, but in the end, she returned to the Duke for her children. Yep, it's blood
The biggest feeling about the movie is "chaos", and then there is grief.
Georgiana: The heroine’s changes in the movie are more obvious, she was kind and childish at first (in the early stage of marriage) - shocked but patient (witnessing her husband’s derailment) - free, easy and self-satisfied (this is probably the most comfortable moment for the heroine in the whole film, because it is I no longer care so much about her husband's romance and the reality of not being able to give birth to a son, and turned to interacting with politicians to gain a certain status for herself) - short-lived happiness 1 suddenly collapsed (the husband cheated with his good friend, the heroine is very Valuing this friend, she described the status of this friend in the movie: she is the only one in my marriage that I fought for and only belonged to me) - The short-lived happiness 2 also collapsed (desperate with the old love Gray, Finally gave birth to a child = =) - chose to return to the Duke for the sake of his original child. I personally think that the role of Georgiana combines most of the good qualities of women. She is lively, kind, brave, and longing for freedom. But I can't understand some of the behaviors, such as: at the beginning of the film, she was ambiguous with Gray, I thought it would be like this: she fell in love with Gray and then married the Duke under the pressure of reality, but she learned that she was going to marry the Duke. When, are you still a little inexplicably happy? The plot of her re-encountering with Gray in the back, I can't tell whether it is revenge or love. Love comes too fast like a tornado; and you cheat when you cheat. Why do you want to cheat with your husband in person, you are really too rigid ! There are too many moments in Georgiana's life that can only be described as sadness. The first part has shaped her positive character to a high point, making people think that she is a political genius. Later, it has also fallen to the point where she cannot fulfill her love and cannot have a normal marriage. the "resentful woman". And her fertility is really too strong.
Duke: The name is too long, I can't remember it. His character is very typical, conceited, arrogant and macho, which is the characteristic of every high-power man in that era due to the old custom of patriarchal preference and a prominent family. When I think of my son, I go crazy, and when I see a woman, I XX. I don't know if it's for fertility or just to vent. At the end of the movie, I got used to his expression and words that he was so drawn to the point that he wanted to pick up a stick and beat him, but at the end you made a 180 change: I know that I am not good at other people's thoughts, I will try to understand you, Georgiana. Sure enough, the green hat makes people wake up?
Elizabeth: This woman, really. I don't really understand her character. Yes! She appeared as a good friend of Georgiana, but why did she openly cheat with her husband, saying that it was for her three children. In addition to this, she is really a best friend of the world, helping the heroine cheat and accompany the heroine to have a male partner. To have a girlfriend like her, really, a happy life. (Three views are not correct)
Gray: Well, every movie needs a cannon fodder. I think he is the happiest cannon fodder. He has had a good time and even has a child. The most important career is still bright!
4. The movie has a very successful restoration of clothing and architecture. I have read articles on the research of the heroine's clothing. For example, her fur and the feathers of her hat all show her noble status. If you don't have too much obsessive pursuit of plot and character creation, this movie can still be watched. Of course you like this kinky complex relationship, you can read it.
5. There is a lot of context in the movie that is worth thinking about.
The heaviest one should be the preference for boys over girls. A marriage with the purpose of having children cannot speak up, the husband cheats, and he cannot have his own happiness. In the end, he returns to the family with compromises. Women have no rights, but men are easily polygamous and self-reliant.
Learn to look at marriage and children. What is wanted and what is prioritized. At least I don't want to be so sad that she can't have her own autonomy in the end.
