When the classic "Downton abbey" sounded, the familiar feeling rushed to my face, and I couldn't help but think about the opening scene - morning light, Downton's servants got up early and started busy, boiling water, preparing meals, ironing, and cleaning. , and Downton's masters just opened their eyes in a daze. The film lives up to expectations, offering a long-shot recreation of this classic morning Downton. The most amazing thing is the high-altitude view of the train and Downton Abbey. With the appropriate color filter, the large-scale texture and shocking vision of the documentary were shot. It is undeniable that the elegant and delicate picture is indeed the highlight of Downton, and this stunning vision also made a good start for the film, but Downton's story and talents are what Downton has always fascinated and yearned for.
The film version of the story is based on the visit of the king. At that time, the British aristocracy was declining after the war, capitalism had firmly occupied the mainstream society, industry and finance replaced land as the main engine of the economy, and Downton Abbey was also increasingly trending. dullness and decline. So Barrow went to the warehouse to prepare the utensils for the banquet, but those utensils were old and dull, Mary said, I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to use these things one day, which also hinted at the status quo of Downton Abbey. In fact, the movie unfolds a narrative in the process of constantly creating and stimulating conflict. Carson and Barrow clash over their status as temporary housekeepers, Barrow's new boyfriend reports the gay club because of jealousy and possessiveness, and the grandmother never forgets Mrs. Maud. The inheritance rights of the property, Tom's change of ideas and the assassination of the former MP, the pregnant second lady and the husband who is about to go abroad, the open and secret struggle between the servants of Downton and the royal servants...... And all these contradictions converge into the whole picture of Downton Abbey, is Yes, Downton is not a fairy tale manor. It has both warmth and intrigue, elegance and nobility, arrogance and selfishness. It is so imperfect and imperfect, and it is precisely this imperfection that shapes it. its unique charm. Everyone in Downton is a fresh and independent individual. They have character flaws and pure brilliance. These diverse colors reflect the brilliance of Downton. So even though she began to be out of tune with the times, and began to be twilight and silent, but for the group of people she reflected, those who were still bathed in her unique light, Downton pinned their honor and life. So, Mary and Anna said to consider selling the manor and buying a small villa instead of thinking about these meaningless things. Anna persuaded her that Downton was the core of the surrounding village, and she was carrying dozens of people. People's livelihood carries the honor of the surrounding. And for the owner of Downton, what is the significance of Downton? The old grandmother told Mary that she was dying soon, and handed Downton's future to her and let her guard the manor. Mary said that the era of Downton had passed, why are you still guarding her? The old lady said that the times have changed, But Downton should still be in the future and be part of that future, guardian of the family. For the ancestors, Downton is glory and pride, but for future generations, is Downton a glory or a burden? The reality is always stark. The cost of house repairs, water, electricity, labor, etc. cannot be ignored. Times have changed, making the previous manor economy unsustainable, and maintaining this family business, the manor itself, is a difficult task. And in the movie, Mary is always worried about this, and the surprise is that the second lady told Mary that Tom and Lucille were in a relationship, so maybe Mary saw a little hope, then Yes, marriage obtains property transfer. But the transfer of property is only a temporary method. Where is the way out for Downton in the future? The whole burden of Downton was placed on Mary, and Mary asked her husband, you will not leave Downton, will you? It was a reflection of her inner fear of losing and of not being able to take on heavy responsibilities. Downton was also a general epitome of the British aristocracy of that era. The bourgeoisie completely subverted the aristocratic class. Family marriage and selling property were only temporary measures. Entering Downton will only give the manor a few decades of respite. The marriage of Mary and the second lady and Tom may be able to provide her with blood for another few decades, but what about the future? The movie just stopped here, and did not give a specific answer, perhaps because the aristocratic Downton Abbey is the core of the entire movie and episode description, and nothing else can be mentioned.
Downton is inseparable from the grand background of the times, but the grand background itself has never been her focus. The lovely and precious thing about Downton is the rigid and observant Earl of Granttherton, the gentle and kind Countess, the daring Mary who dares to love and hate, the old lady who speaks and hides the cleverness, and the considerate Anna... ... The greatest joy in watching Downton Abbey is watching each character play out their own lives and their own stories. At the end, Tom and Lucille, who were not officially recognized, came to the balcony to dance happily, while the main hall inside was the stage for those formal nobles. The switching of the two pictures was just right, forming a sharp contrast, which means that there are also people in the gap. Its own wonderful life, finding its own fulcrum is what Downton people need. Overall, the film version of Downton's narrative is worth eight points, qualified and brilliant. Although the fate of the old lady makes people uncomfortable, the overall ending is warm and gentle, which can be regarded as a perfect ending for Downton, and a five-point tribute to Downton's ending!
