contradiction

From the very beginning of the movie, I felt very, very familiar

This vote of British actors is so familiar, and the heroine is amazing

It seems that you can see through the whole plot at a glance, but it becomes exciting in the second half

The contradiction between the heroine and the whole family has risen to:

American Liberalism and British Conservatism

Post-war modern independence spirit and pre-war idyllic life

Manor Land Economy and Modern Industrial Economy

Patriarchy and Feminism

The contradiction between human nature and social nature

And, everything behaves so naturally

The so-called true face of the heroine is gradually revealed, stirring up the calm stagnant water on the surface of the pool.

The mother-in-law's painstaking efforts for the family, the father-in-law's trauma from the war, the ambivalence between the two sisters, the swing of the neighbor's father and son

Everyone, even the valet, is trapped in his own limitations,

I feel the change, but I don't know how to change, so I struggle

There is only the male protagonist, he is the only character in the movie who does not reflect on

Empty and childish, I can understand the point that the heroine loves him, but I can't forgive him

The last tango is amazing. Colin Firth is the one worthy of the heroine.

Also, the soundtrack to this movie is so good
