Great love in Britain at that time

The first time I watched this movie was in a certain class of the sophomore year, and I was very impressed at that time.

So, the night before yesterday, I enjoyed it again. Although there were no subtitles, I still watched it with gusto.

I still remember that I bought Oscar Wilde's script and looked back. I like some humorous plots and equally interesting lines.

When I watched it again, I found that one of the leading actors was Colin Firth. He liked this man very much. He always performed the role of a 17th-century English gentleman. Watching movies in Hollywood for too long, I jumped out of the exaggerated American test pronunciation, and listened to the English accent that was full of words, so circumflex, so nice. I prefer the dress and dress of that era. The prosperity of the Elizabethan era makes everything look rich and luxurious. Men’s tuxedos, black velvet bow ties, and black waist seals on the waist, tall gentleman hats, represent a status symbol Canes; women’s layered skirts decorated with lace, beautiful hats with feathers, black or white veils covering the face, exquisite and elegant umbrellas, relaxing and fun afternoon tea in the afternoon...I like it There are really too many things. In that era, rich, but not degenerate, conservative, but not lacking in taste.

Britain at that time was my favorite. The movies and novels describing that era have become classics.

This one has naturally become one of the best works to appreciate.

The Importance of Being Earnest quotes

  • Algy: But why does your aunt call you her uncle?

    [Reading cigarette case]

    Algy: "From little Cecily, with her fondest love to her dear Uncle Jack." There is no objection, I admit, to an aunt being a small aunt, but why an aunt, no matter what her size may be, should call her own nephew her uncle, I can't quite make out.

  • [over the end credits, Algy and Jack rehearse their song to win back their girls]

    Jack: I think your high notes may have damaged our chances, old boy. You do want them to come down, don't you?

    Algy: Well, they're never going to come down while you're singing like that, you're completely out of tune.

    Jack: How dare you.

    Algy: I'll take this next bit.

    Jack: You leave this one to me, you go and have a lie-down.

    Algy: I'm doing it.

    Jack: Move out of my way, I'm coming through.

    Algy: Go easy, my dear fellow...

    Jack: [singing] COME DO-O-O-O-WN, LADY COME DOWN...

    Algy: Overdoing it, less is more.
