Fortunately, I have read the novel before watching the drama. I understand that the director wanted to include as many twists and turns in the book as possible, but the content of a thousand four characters was compressed into four episodes and four hours, so it was inevitable that there would be some trade-offs. When I was watching, one thing continued to another, and some of the pictures were overdone and a little blunt. There was no narration or the plot did not connect the past and the future. When I watched it, it was easy to get confused. Many things are explained in the back-and-forth dialogue of the characters, so from the viewer's point of view, they will feel that the plot is rushed, especially in the back, a bit rushed. In the end, the two of them confessed their feelings at the platform, and decided to be together. In the short ten minutes, I didn't have a good aftertaste, and the screen went black with a "slap", and I was left staring at the screen. (Of course, the ending of the novel is almost like this, I really have no idea.) How embarrassing!
Although I feel like I collided with "Pride and Prejudice" when I watched it, but in general, there are not many emotional scenes between the male and female protagonists, and the emphasis is on the contradiction between capital and the working class. I quite like watching different stages in it. Conversational. I have a feeling that the author is using the theme of "love" to attract more people to read and understand what the workers of that period did, fought for, and sought. Really, today's eight-hour workday is the rightful rights that workers abroad fought for through strikes and other mass acts. Of course, what is shown in the play is just a part of it. Whether it is successful or not is important, but more importantly, in my opinion, as Higgins said, you will need to fight for certain rights and interests. Certain sacrifices and costs, but not doing nothing out of fear of paying, this is a greater sin. Higgins is sensible. He knows that in order for the working class to gain a voice, it needs to be calm, not violent; Rather than incitement to act out of anger. It is precisely because these predecessors stood up that future generations can enjoy benefits today. It is very good, and you can take a look.
