The background of the story is during the British Industrial Revolution. The heroine, who lived in the south since childhood, moved her family to the north because her father quit her job as a pastor. The male protagonist grew up in the north and started a textile factory from scratch. When the male and female protagonists first met, there was a great misunderstanding-the female protagonist bumped into the scene where the male protagonist beat the workers. Ever since, the female protagonist thought the male protagonist was a typical capitalist who was cold-blooded and ruthless and squeezed the workers.
The main line is love, but the author integrates the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the working class, the cultural contradiction between the south and the north, from the conflict at the beginning to the coordination and fusion at the back. Although the mediation between class contradictions was weakened later, some people think that the author wanted to sublimate this love story into a profound social background, but failed. On the contrary, I feel that the background of this era is the thrust and tool of the main line of love between the male and female protagonists, and the result is the sublimation of the ideas of the male and female protagonists, which is also a turning point for their thinking to change. If the ending strengthens the plot of class mediation, then the line of love may be weakened, and the author's purpose will not be achieved. Obviously, the author is describing an idealized world, with basically all staff assisting, and even the nature of the overbearing president falling in love with me, but this does not affect my love for this drama.
Talk about the heroine's character. At first, I thought that the heroine was a kind and innocent Virgin, but when I saw the character behind the heroine, I became fuller. Facing the cold and quiet living environment in the north, the heroine did not complain like her mother, but actively faced life. In this changing situation, she took the initiative to make friends with the workers, understand their culture, and help them; in the face of the workers' troubles, she asked the male protagonist to take the initiative to mediate conflicts and stand in front of him bravely; including her asking the foreman to reconcile with the male protagonist, indirectly becoming two Lubricant for each class; the composure that the police came to take notes, the death of her parents, and the independent speculation all showed the independent and strong side of the heroine.
Change of male and female protagonists: The male protagonist said a word to the female protagonist at the beginning: "My responsibility is to manage the factory effectively, otherwise the workers will not be paid. If she goes to work on time and does not disturb the order of the factory, what will she do in the rest of the time? It has nothing to do with me." It can be seen that the male protagonist is a very rational person, and the life of the workers has nothing to do with him, but he is kind, but he feels that there is no need to understand the life of the workers. At the back, the male protagonist was walking on the road to give money to the workers; knowing that the foreman raised the dead worker's child, let him return to work; he took the initiative to learn about the child who read Little Women. These are the tender side of the male protagonist, and the female protagonist inspires this side of him. The heroine is mainly a ideological change. At first, she thought that the northern capitalists had no morals, oppressed workers, and were ruthless, and had a prejudice against the northern culture and way of life. Later, they gradually integrated and understood them. The change in the thoughts of the male and female protagonists is the foreshadowing of their emotional line.
The rhythm of the story is very well grasped, step by step, spread out in a eloquent manner, the plot setting is reasonable, the plot is full, and the four-hour movie is not boring. The male and female protagonists exchange ideas and spirits, understand each other, trust each other's personalities, respect each other, and have a restrained and layered love. It's the kind of love I'm looking for at my age.
