I like this kind of drama so much, it has a clear theme (industrial revolution), it can talk about the theme deeply and at the same time it can reflect many aspects of human nature, and the side line also tells a profound drama; drama; a drama in which each character image is made three-dimensional and complex instead of flat (the hero Thornton, who is inherently inferior, warm and kind but behaves violently and does not reveal his emotions; upright and strong but also stubborn, often offends people when he speaks , Margaret, the prejudiced heroine; Mr. Higgins, the trade union leader who is brave and rebellious, kind but also has a revenge mentality; is mean and arrogant to the heroine, hopes that his son will always be by his side, but is willing to accept his lover for his son , Mother Thornton with deep and strong maternal love)
It has been several years since I watched a film and television drama with such a happy ending? After so long, I finally found the emotion of watching the 2005 version of "Pride and Prejudice" in junior high school in another drama. It is not surprising that it is called "Pride and Prejudice of the Industrial Revolution". The two dramas do have similarities - the mutual incomprehension in the emotional development of the male and female protagonists is similar; the temperament of the two male protagonists is partially similar; "North and South" At the end of the credits, Mr. Thornton met Margaret for the first time in a shirt with the first button open "not very decent", and it also easily reminded me of "Pride and Prejudice" at the end of Darcy to Elizabeth from the morning mist The famous scene that came... But compared to the almost purely romantic "Pride and Prejudice", love in "North and South" is not the biggest theme. For the first time, it made me feel the pain of the industrial revolution so directly on the working people (the cotton batts flying like snowflakes in the factories are beautiful and cruel, because they cause the workers to die early from lung diseases; the whole city is covered with smoke and dust. , with gray as the main tone, showing a sense of suffocation and suffocation; workers work hard but always poor), and feel the fierce collision between the backward traditional society (the British South) and the modern North - and this is at the same time that The epitome of the global changes of the times. So I think South and North is more heavyweight than Pride and Prejudice (but I will always love the romantic similarity between South and North and Pride and Prejudice, condensed into the only high point in the last few minutes of the end credits) sugar fragments). And Thornton is far more difficult than Darcy - compared with Thornton, who started from bankruptcy and could not escape the fate of bankruptcy, Darcy is simply a carefree prince in fairy tales.
