Regrettably, apart from gathering a bunch of big names, there is almost no logic in this film. As soon as the film came up, it was the relationship line between Helen and Charles' brother, but it was cut off without any clear explanation. Her aunt's visit also disappeared somehow. As soon as the camera turned, Helen took the wrong umbrella and ran out. This is obviously a line of emotion. The problem is that the line of emotion is broken without even being laid out. Mr. Best and Miss Helen begin to live their own lives. Directors who are proficient in narrative should use memories or imagination, even if Mr. Best can show Helen and his family's business card, none of them, only Mr. Best himself and his lover look up at the stars, look at the moon, look down at the books. star map. From then on, I thought that my opening method might not be right. CP stood in the wrong team and couldn't recognize the face star after watching it for an hour and didn't realize what a story it was.
The movie suddenly changed at this time. Helen’s sister Margaret suddenly became the central figure. She was still saying that she didn’t want to be neighbors with the Wilkes family, and she suddenly went to see Mrs. Wilkes on the back. Become a good friend. At this time, a main line emerged again. Before Mrs. Wilkes died, Mrs. Wilkes left the Howard Manor with Margaret, but was secretly torn up by the Wilkes family. This line should have been explained, but it was cut off inexplicably. After a few scenes, two actors who didn't call at all, Margaret and Mr. Wilkes, had to be dragged together to become a husband and wife! Didn't you see the reluctance in their eyes, your director! ! !
At this moment, Mr. Best suddenly appeared again. Because of the erroneous information provided by Mr. Wilkes, he resigned and went to another bank, but lost his job. Please, what did Mr. Best director do in the middle? ? ? If he doesn't want to write a letter, can't you let Helen or Margaret say something to him? ? The characters can be completely broken. Alas, as a result, the conflict between Helen and her brother-in-law surfaced, and her sister was not a human being caught on either side. Helen wanted to help Best, one after another, to help get to bed. I am very pleased. Although it is difficult to judge CP, I haven't watched so many movies and TV series for nothing.
At this time, Helen also said that she could no longer tolerate her sister-in-law, and went to Germany alone. There has been no news for a long time. Please, there has been no news during this time. Margaret’s marriage life should be the focus, right? However, there is not enough pen. It is reasonable to say that the family has a lot of conflicts. Mr. Wilkes’ son and daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, all think that Margaret came to the manor, and at the same time, the incident of throwing the note into the fire made them again. Sneaky, these backgrounds should have extremely strong conflicts here, but they didn't appear at all. I haven't read the original work. I don't know if there is any description in the original work. Forget it, this is all right.
When Helen returned to China, she was hiding from her sister and brother. Margaret became anxious, obeyed her husband's advice, and used a plan to see her pregnant sister in Howard Manor. At this time, Mr. Best appeared, you read that right, Mr. Best, who had been invisible, appeared again! ! ! The cup is there. He just said Helen, but Mr. Wilkes’ son Charles rushed out with a scream, gave him a punch, and pulled out Margaret’s sword from the wall. Bang bang on Mr. Best! ! Are you sure I am watching SM movies? ? Isn't this that Charles has the same old affection for Best because of love and hatred? ? But for Director Mao, you never said they knew each other before? ? ! ! Best was tortured to death in this way, and Charles was also convicted of homicide and imprisoned. At the end of the film, the sisters and sisters live in Howard, and Mr. Wilkes’ daughter-in-law and son-in-law have nothing to do with Howard Manor.
Even if you haven’t read the original work, Foster can still vaguely feel what he wants to express: 1. The direction of fate, things that the people in the camp can’t get, and the things that fate gives you thousands of times can be in your hands. inside. Margaret finally got the Howard Manor, even though she still knew nothing about the situation. 2. The meaning of the manor, the meaning of home. In the end, what is the difference between Wilkes's eyes and Margaret's eyes? Is it because of this difference that the two have different endings? 3. The background of the time, the mentality of the rich and the poor, and colonialism. These are what Foster should write about as a well-known writer. The departure of Helen's first love is to Africa, Best and Wilkes' concept of rich and poor. It's a pity that none of these were dug deep, and they were taken hastily.
Several characters have no meaning at all for the advancement of the plot: Margaret and Helen's younger brother; Helen's lover, which is Charles' younger brother; Charles's wife; Mr. Wilkes' daughter and son-in-law. Well, Charles's wife and Mr. Wilkes' daughter barely contributed to the will event of the year at the end, and other characters can be deleted for the sake of concentration. You know, so that there is no logic in the distribution of scattered points, it is better to delete the characters to ensure the overall harmony. What's the use of actors, no matter how big they are, they can't afford a movie even if the script is so bad that they are Monkey King.
