Meg is still Meg

The first time I saw it was ten years ago, I liked the stories of the classical era, and I didn't know that it was Foster's original work. After reading the novel tonight, I remembered that I had already seen a movie in my memory.
Foster is an English gentleman writer. Although there are few novels, they are all perfect!
The adaptation was very successful, but the cruelty to the rich in the book should be better, and the film expression should be softer.
I really like this pair of sisters, just like Eleanor and Marian in reason and emotion, one sensible and one sensible. The elder sister's monologue about her husband's accusation for her sister is really exciting. There are many accidental factors in Foster's story. If it weren't for the elder son to go to jail and his spirits collapsed, Meg would not get the house! My sister chose family affection at the critical moment, and would rather give up everything she had already gotten. Fortunately, people are not as good as heaven!

    Three and a half. The cast is strong and the scenery is beautiful, but a bit incompetent in understanding, and the plot has been developing, but it is like a running account.

    Although I have only seen two films adapted from Foster's novels by James Ivory, in my mind he is already the best director of classical dramas after Visconti!

Howards End quotes

  • [last lines]

    Margaret Schlegel: What did Dolly mean about Howards End?

    Henry Wilcox: Mmmm? My poor Ruth, during her last days, scribbled your name on a piece of paper. Knowing her not to be herself, I set it aside. Didn't do wrong, did I?

  • Ruth Wilcox: My idea has always been that if we could bring the mothers of the various nations together, then there would be no more war.
