After a lapse of four years, the movie version of "Downton Abbey" once again appeared on the screen. The familiar "time to say goodbye" at the end of the film caused tears in the audience. Familiar faces came one after another, and scenes of classic memories rushed towards them. Downton seems to have become a mark of an era. After a series of historical events such as the sinking of the Titanic, the outbreak of World War I, the Russian Revolution, the financial crisis, and the rise of the Nazis, Downton has ushered in a royal visit this time.
It is still a gorgeous and graceful furniture arrangement, it is still a splendid Taiwanese pavilion, and it is still a noble social etiquette full of gentlemen and ladies. From every detail, it can be seen that the director put this classic after a lapse of four years. The good intentions and deep skills of the British drama remake into a movie. The background of the film is 1927. At that time, the British aristocracy was already facing a wave of great differentiation. The future of Downton was not explained in the film, but from a few details, we can see that at the top of the tide of the times, as a nobleman The gesture of bravely embracing new challenges by the Lords and Ladies of Downton. First, the traditional British culture still divides Downton into two classes: the nobles upstairs and the servants downstairs, but it is obvious that the upstairs and downstairs are more like a big family that is intimate and dependent on each other, you have me I have you, no longer the traditional master-servant command relationship. In particular, Mary asked Anna Downton's future like a friend. Mosley's funny and gaffe performance in front of the king was still tolerated and understood by everyone. The servants and nobles enjoyed the king's military parade together. These points fully reflect Prominence of human rights awareness. The second is the spiritual exchange between Grandma and Mary, which made us sigh with tears and sigh that the good times have finally passed, and at the same time, we have a longing and expectation for Mary to take over the halo of Grandma and carry Downton's future as a professional manager. The third is the love between Tom and the noble maid, and he has to envy his good luck, or he has a soft spot for the aristocratic women to achieve counterattack, but he and the maid are both characters who survive in the gap between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat It seems natural to come together in spirit, especially at the end ball, accompanied by the melodious melody in the hall, the scene where the two danced together on the balcony outside the window, we seem to see the noble class and the common people always have the kind of The slight estrangement, its foundation will not be shaken with the ups and downs of the great era.
In general, the movie version of "Downton Abbey" drew a happy ending to the plot of the first six seasons. The film ended gracefully in a peaceful and warm symphony melody, but audiences familiar with history should know that in a few years, World War II is about to break out, and the British aristocracy is about to usher in the darkest and most painful moment, what will happen to Downton at that time ? Whether Mary can take on a new mission after the grandmother who is the mainstay of the family, what kind of cruel tests will the children of Mary and Edith face when they grow up, and where will the relaxation of the gay policy lead Thomas to? These seem to be the director Intentionally left blank, giving us unlimited brain space. From this level, it seems that the end of the film at this moment is a better choice, allowing the audience to keep full of classic memories in this sweet ending, which is another good intention of the director.
