Quite satisfactory

For themes such as the liberation of slaves and the life of aristocratic women in the Georgian era, this film can be said to be quite satisfactory. Although after reading the information, I found out that in reality, Mr. Davinier was not the son of the pastor at all, nor did he dream of becoming a lawyer, and even married another wife after Dido died young. I don’t quite understand why it is necessary to have a large part of the love scene when writing the script. Even if there is no such love, it will highlight Dido’s own contempt for blacks in order to change society’s contempt for blacks and even promote the abolition of slavery. Put pressure and so on, it will become a more three-dimensional and full story.

Obviously, the focus should be to explore Dido’s struggle as a mixed race in the British society in the 18th century. However, it took a lot of space to create a love story with Mr. Davinier. It is not a realistic love story at all, and it erases the real depth. . In the film, Dido slaps his skin, covers his face with his hands, and feels ashamed of his skin color. However, the image of the characters is still not three-dimensional enough. The first time he promised to marry him, he did not see what the motive was. The plot The push is a little weak.

The actors' acting skills are also relatively average? There are many close-ups, which are obviously moments when everyone is emotional, but they just stare at it with eyes wide open.

In any case, it can be regarded as a history of popular science, although it is quite different from reality.

    I thought it was an orthodox drama with political correctness and facial makeup, but I didn't expect that the characters and emotions were well established, and the details were very deep. Very wonderful. Music is a bit too much

    When it comes to equal rights for women, equal rights for blacks, marriage breaking rules, and equal rights for personality, Belle herself is a typical British heroine, with thoughtful and insightful, clear-headed, articulate, and the pursuit of equality. Looking at the real history, Belle's uncle's grandfather is even more remarkable. The language in classical English dramas is more complicated, more beautiful, and harder to learn than in modern American dramas.

Belle quotes

  • John Davinier: Should not any lady be flattered to be such a subject?

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: How should any male know the ways of a lady when he has not even mastered the ways of a gentlemen?

  • John Davinier: Permit me to ask, why do you not dine with your family ever?

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: That is not correct.

    John Davinier: Forgive me, but twice now I have seen you separated from the gathering. I am confounded.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: And well you might be when the son of clergy is permitted to the table before a lady of the house.
