Some of the BBC's TV movies are very interesting, and the costumes and shots are unambiguous. Compared with American dramas that entertain to death, they are more rigorous and elegant, with British elegance. I recently watched four episodes of "North and South," a "Pride and Prejudice"-esque story during the British Industrial Revolution. The heroine Margaret Hill is the favorite image of British female writers. She is uniquely beautiful, kind and fearless, and she is blunt and out of place. She was born in the upper class but is a bit out of place. She is pointed by traditional people wherever she goes. The beauty of youth, which is easy to wither and lose, is the beauty of power, strong and elegant, and no regrets. The restraint and subtlety that the British take as a standard is invisible in such a woman. She came from the south, where the air was fresh and sunny, open and beautiful, to the crowded, dirty and chaotic northern town, the factories with white cotton fluttering in the sky, the dark tones and the stale air, the blurred faces and the dark clothes of the working class rubbing shoulders in the north, The fierce encounter with the textile giant John Thornton, under the cultural and class conflict between the north and the south, is like the combination of the industrial revolution in the north and the delicate and subtle gorgeous combination of southern England, that is a sonorous love.



The meaning of the north and the south in the play is worth pondering, Margaret said, forgive me for not learning the etiquette of the northerners. She didn't plan to study. She used her own way, dressed in exquisite and gorgeous clothes, and walked recklessly in the cold north. Lingshuang and proud snow, without borders, were chaotic. The rough and gray northern men in the background of the industrial revolution set her off like winter plums. , is more fraternal and selfless than the sturdy southern beauty Hao Sijia in "Gone with the Wind", but with a faint charm, she is a strong woman who cannot be defeated. Southern women and northern men, the separation of different cultures, and the reckless collision of yin and yang have become a fatal attraction that cannot be separated from each other. , The soul-stirring kiss of restraint at the end kept many Richard Armitage fans awake all night.



There is also an American writer who likes the artistic conception of the South and the North is Fitzgerald, who is most admired by Murakami. Fitzgerald was born in Minnesota, which borders Ontario, Canada. A typical northern man, he married southern beauties, so Philippine Zgerald always revealed a great interest in the American South in his novels. "Fluffed Egg" is a story about the South through and through, "Ice Palace," "Wise Things," and "The Last Southern Girl," an endless love story between a southern girl and a northern man. The cultural differences between the North and the South are a frequent topic, setting and tone of his novels. According to Fitzgerald, the South is feminine, a hot, soft, languid, slightly intoxicating place with "hot evenings full of flowers", a place "with a dreamlike sky, Firefly nights and languid paradises of raucous Negro streets", in the South "among the drowsy picturesque landscapes and woods, shacks, and muddy creeks, the flow is pleasant and without any hostility. A heat wave, like a great warm breast nourishing a baby-like earth", the north is masculine, explosive, ruthless, ruthless and ruthless. He believes that "poetry must be a northerner's dream about the south", a nostalgia and nostalgia for the south.



Fierce and enthusiastic, lazy and hoofed, stalwart and delicate, thunderous and turbulent and gentle and drizzle, thick branches and large leaves and needle-pointed wheat awns, broad sea and sky and valley orchids, northern rouge and Xiaojiabiyu... No matter which hemisphere you are in the world, you have no experience of traveling from south to north, let alone Deep tolerance and understanding, even Margaret in "North and South", she finally accepted not only the social etiquette of the north, she was in the rough north of industry, in the wave of revolution, she naturally shuttled among the working class In the two opposing camps of capitalists and capitalists, through linking, through fusion, through love, and through instinct, the pleading of Thornton, a serious northern man to look back at me (look back at me), has been tempered into a reversal of tenderness around his fingers.

North & South quotes

  • Hannah Thornton: A mother's love holds fast and forever. A girl's love is like a puff of smoke - it changes with every wind.

  • Margaret Hale: I wish I could tell you how lonely I am. How cold and harsh it is here. Everywhere there is conflict and unkindness. I think God has forsaken this place. I believe I have seen hell and it's white, it's snow-white.
