It's a splendid story, but the ending is too good to be believed, because we know that ordinary people don't have such a good life. There are a lot of classes involved, but no class antagonisms and things that should really be discussed; love is involved, but no reason for any kind of love is explained; money is involved, but it tries to ignore the London money of that century What kind of human nature can be seduced. All in all, a very British gentleman's film. Maybe it's because of the colorful entertainment that we have been exposed to too much these days, this life story is really too mediocre. Not without emotion, but without sadness.

One of my favorite characters is Agnes, then the aunt, then the protagonist, then Dora. To be honest, this male protagonist is just a normal man who can take responsibility, and his character traits are not clearly manifested. In contrast, the wise Agnes, the hard-mouthed and soft-hearted aunt, the innocent but still loving Dora, and even Tom, Micaba and other supporting characters have more vivid characters. On the contrary, the male protagonist is in In many major events (such as Ham's rescue of a rival, and the plot of the sinister villain), there is little action. The male protagonist seems to have done two things in his life:

1. Walk alone to the country town to find your aunt.

2. Be responsible for the family and work hard.

It feels as if in that chaotic era, being able to do these two points is indeed worthy of respect, but in our present day, being a male protagonist is indeed almost a taste.

Secondly, the education and enlightenment of the male protagonist when he was a child, that is, the growth line of the male protagonist is also a bit too old-fashioned. It is to see a group of people understand a truth and portray a group of characters. The portrayal of the small characters is indeed meticulous, accurate, and memorable. However, since the character of the male protagonist has not come out, it should have been a supporting role and a tool person who inspired the male protagonist to succeed. Look It's a bit like the male protagonist is the narrator showing the charm of the supporting role. Of course, this may be the reason why the movie is too fast-paced and doesn't show the male protagonist's heart. But the lives of the supporting actors can indeed bring us a lot of inspiration, such as Agnes’ father who almost couldn’t get away from the villain because of a temporary retreat, the tragedy of sixpence Micab, and the price of honesty Tom (the role of Tom In fact, it is covered with a layer of holy light. His posture and quiet smile when he died have a certain sense of sight...); and about love, how important is the right time to the right person (Iger at this point Niss is so wise, how many people can't learn to be content and let go).

A life worth seeing in your spare time.

Finally, a little bit about the phrase "if you earn twenty pounds a year and spend nineteen pounds and sixpence, it's a comedy; if you earn twenty pounds a year and you spend twenty pounds and sixpence, it's a tragedy": this is culture Difference? In China, if you earn twenty pounds a year, and spend more than fifteen pounds, it would be a tragedy... I really don't save any money!
