The plot drags a bit, but maybe the real world just can't control the rhythm like a novel. Originally thought that writing a dictionary would be a joy, but the whole film felt a kind of wound engraved in the bones, and this tone faded at the climax of the cooperation between Miner and Murray. Kind of puzzling. There are also bright spots, such as gathering the wisdom of the crowd, returning to the authenticity of language and combining the wisdom of scholars. Woohoo, I was still a little excited when I saw that the mailbox was put into letters with hope. It was Murray's measure that made it possible for the two to meet. And the control of the noise is just right, such as the occasional chatter on the side of the two scholars who don't even have a name, reminding the viewer of the predicament Murray is facing. Well, the most painful thing in it should be Mina's disease, with self-mutilation behavior, perhaps because he has a conscience, so he only gets sick after returning from the bloody battlefield. A man is killed a second time, which is why Miner doesn't accept Eliza. Redemption, what kind of redemption? Miner's compensation has reached the standard that the victim is no longer resentful, but in fact Miner himself has not been redeemed. A masterpiece is an honor, but the author's life does not end with this work. However, I still can't figure out why the tone is hurt. Digression: Churchill's contemporaries, Churchill in this film is a bit handsome! Hey, I slowly feel that that era is very fateful.
