Dictionary lover

The female protagonist is sexy and beautiful, and the male protagonist is handsome and knowledgeable. This is the first element that attracts people to watch this film. The film tells the story of the British colonies in South Asia. In order for the British to quickly learn the local language, they let local girls be dictionary lovers. The so-called dictionary lovers are actually the lovers of these colonists. In the film, the male protagonist gradually fell in love with his dictionary lover, but he was still forced to marry his chief’s daughter, but the dictionary lover has already fallen in love with his child. The plot seems very old-fashioned. I think the value of the film is to let people Knowing that there is still a piece of history and the various human tragedies caused by that piece of history, the end of the film is still happy, and in the end the two of them came together through all kinds of difficulties. Such a story is similar to that in the 1960s and 1970s, the intellectual youth went to the mountains and went to the countryside to marry the local girl and set up a family. Later, they could not resist the temptation to return to the city and abandon their children (it seems to be a bit serious). Go to a city with better living conditions.
