good woman

"If anything happens to me, I want you to know how much money I have left, I'm lucky today, so you have a lot of money left, and one horse left to sell, and also, those suitcases are worth each 30 pounds and I'll wear that old uniform, you can sell the new one, and the saddle gun, the cigarettes, and these odds and ends, that's enough money to get you back to London"
"I know what we're getting , but I'm afraid we don't know what to lose."
The most impressive thing in the movie is what Roden said to Becky when he went to the battlefield. Ki went to sell it, and then it was worth the money, I thought he was just a dude, and after this, I was willing to believe that they really loved each other, and I was sad that they didn't end up together.
Becky may be very utilitarian in the movie, but she gave up the choice to stay with her friends when she was able to go to London. She loves vanity, but I saw her wearing black and singing with her shoulders raised among the misfits. She suffered so much ridicule and scorn, but she endured it through gritted teeth. I can't judge her values, but she is undoubtedly a strong and optimistic woman. There's nothing wrong with her being ambitious, nothing wrong with her wanting to be in high society, I'm just sad that she lost herself and Roden in the end, I'd like to believe she knew her fault, otherwise she wouldn't Will try to persuade my best friend to accept another love like that at the end... I always think Becky is a good woman, a good woman with great ambition, like in the movie "If I have 5000 pounds , I'll be a good woman too."

    Compared with the ambitious heroine in the book, I prefer Rebecca in the movie. She is smart, strong, and loyal. She has the courage to pursue love and the life she wants. All she does is for a better life. Although I can't appreciate Witherspoon's face all the time, her acting skills are really good. There is actually a demon man Jonathan Meyers in this film, which is a little pleasant surprise.

    It's too far from the original, and the actors' performances are all in place
