Your arrogance and my prejudice

This film is recommended because it is called "Pride and Prejudice in the Age of Industrial Revolution". "Pride and Prejudice" should be said to be one of my favorite books about love. For some reason, British dramas have such an attraction force.
I read novels and famous novels from some European countries when I was a child, and I was deeply indulged in their court costumes, etiquette, and some descriptions of dance scenes. Because of this, I was very interested in stories similar to the medieval English drama. It's only four episodes long, but as with Downton Abbey, the introductory music in the opening credits is unforgettable.
In fact, the plot of the story is not much different from that of "Pride and Prejudice", but the background of the times is different, the encounters are different, and the stories and details are more, which makes the characters more full. Thornton and Margaret are the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth. Some netizens said on the bullet screen that it is a story of "a literate man in the countryside and a nouveau riche in the city". It might as well describe the background of the two. Pride and prejudice, it is precisely because the protagonists have their own persistence and principles, and it is also such a personality that attracts each other. Unlike "Pride and Prejudice", "South and North" is that the man misunderstands the woman, and the first three episodes are all. It is gradual and has a foreshadowing color. The viewer even waited until the last five minutes to see the ending they wanted to see. In the end, both of them had a heart of understanding, or they were attracted to each other, and they felt each other's concern. The place, look at what happened to the other party, until the last moment, the hanging heart does not fall. The deeper the arrogance and prejudice, the more warm the ending will be!

    The male protagonist is charming. After reading it, it turned out to be the famous Li Jianjun. . . drunk. . .

    The shaping of some plots is a little thin, for example, the relationship between Nicolas and Thorton has changed too quickly, but the overall is still very good, especially the male and female protagonists are very good, reflecting the consistent style of the BBC. My favorite scene is Margret's face looking out the window again and again. I think it's a metaphor about distance, anticipation, and inner shifting.

North & South quotes

  • Nicholas Higgins: My poor Bess! She lived the life of a dog. Hard work and illness. She never had one moment of rejoicing. I'm not saying I don't believe in your God, but I can't believe He meant the world to be as it is. The masters ruling over us, the rest of us left to live a half-life in the shadows.

  • Nicholas Higgins: Reckon I'll leave my brains at home, then.
