well, I have time to understand it now. This drama has 7 or 8 episodes in a season, and an episode is about 50 minutes. It's okay, not a lot, see It's okay to look at it. Let yourself learn to understand before you don't like it inexplicably, and don't act on subjective feelings, maybe you will have unexpected joy.
At the beginning, the overall plot was like soap operas in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other countries. The so-called wealthy family eats, drinks, sleeps, love, inheritance, money and no money (really, these things are always the case), I thought maybe they could I learned a little about the humanities, history and culture of the United Kingdom at the beginning of the last century, and found that there were actually not too many. The same is true of Jane Austen's novels about the legal culture of inheritance in the United Kingdom at that time (I am not interested in Austen's novels, either. I think it's just from the party of romance novels). It is said that the British are characterized by calmness, perseverance, introverted emotions, and unreserved emotions. Therefore, I personally feel that the characteristics of the British aristocrats who are famous overseas are nothing more than one of the manifestations of the overall national characteristics. The plot is actually very old-fashioned, but it can be seen that they took the drama seriously and made it well, so it has not been classified as a soap opera series, but won the Golden Globe Award. But in the end, the story as a whole is not the kind that attracts me as expected, and I have no "classical complex", and the design of the furniture and clothing in the play is not the kind that can shock me. Then let's take a look at the characters in the play, Can you find a special one? The
big cousin looks pretty handsome at first glance. At first, what he said seemed to belong to the kind of backbone, but after meeting the eldest lady, he behaved normally, just like most of them. Normal men are no different.
As for the eldest lady, who is a darling both inside and outside the play, she showed a snobbish, realistic and mean side from the very beginning. The point is that the eldest lady can be loved by many people. It is said that she is real and unconcealed, and her aura is very royal. , It's actually quite good for servants, very upholding the honor of the family, strong, and one of the three sisters who can support the family... In short, there are actually a lot of advantages (it seems that people like it depends on the advantages). So, instead of saying that this eldest lady looks like a mother, or she can be classified as an aunt who is not out of shape, just analyze the advantages listed above one by one.
The so-called truth is nothing more than that human nature inevitably has good and evil, sunshine and darkness, first show the evil side, and then show the good side little by little, even if the evil is greater than the good, it will make people feel cute; if If you change someone, you will feel good first, and then others will see evil. Even if the good is greater than the evil, it is likely to be called a two-faced person.
As for this aura, it is said that she is an aunt who is not out of shape. At least it is a little bit, but there is no amazing or special feeling (if there is such a feeling, this heroine has already rushed out of England and was photographed by Hollywood, even if it is not entirely based on Judging by the eyes of Hollywood, then Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan who can rush into Hollywood can’t be covered), the riding suit is only worn by the eldest lady, and I have never seen other women in the play wear it. In comparison, I just think that any woman with a more upright appearance, wearing a handsome riding suit, can have a few not handsome and aura, coupled with a cold expression of indifference, cute girls are all Queen Fan! !
It is said that this young lady cares about her servants, but she is mean to her relatives. I can't help but think of the news that the Chinese police only spent a few hours recovering the lost property for a foreigner, but they were not so positive about the theft of the Chinese people. Only half a catty of virtue! ! !
The favor of the eldest by the old social rules and regulations directly made the younger sisters in a weak position from birth, and if they were not as good as the eldest by birth, it would be unimaginably sad. The eldest young lady with a strong attitude actually has no sympathy for the second younger sister of the disadvantaged family who was born in an unfair situation. That is TMP's "protection of family honor". When she is an adult, she is still tit-for-tat with her second sister. You can see that the eldest young lady has used her natural advantages to be arrogant and arrogant since she was a child. As long as the elder sister can show a hint of love and concession to the second younger sister who is at a disadvantage in status and appearance when she is a child, this should be true. No matter how unconvinced the sisters are, they will not be in the situation of the sisters fighting today.
To say that the eldest lady is one of the three sisters who can support the family, there is no objection to this. You can definitely believe the eldest lady's ability to do anything to achieve her goals. Originally, when a family can become a noble, it will not be a product of good morals and high morals. Even if it is not the most impoverished and desperately upstart type, or the most despicable type, I am afraid that the truth of how this money is earned will be difficult to expose. in the sun. They are all evolved from apes, although they are not all the same at first, anyway, some people have the funds to slowly get some titles for themselves, buy a castle, match them with exquisite and expensive furniture and tableware, list some rules, hire some You are a servant...and continue for a few generations, just like a noble name. This "continuation of generations" is very important, even the nouveau riche, it must be qualified, not ordinary people can do it casually , at least you have to have brains, the second generation, the third generation and the fourth generation born with luck... also have brains, plus more education than the average person can enjoy, then the three generations who hook up with the power will retain and expand their wealth in the future. His family is very likely to be a so-called aristocrat. Of course, after many years of forgetting how the first, second, and third generations of this family made their fortunes, the descendants have carefully decorated their ancestors to have noble genes from the age of the naked ape. It is necessary. But most of them are not lucky enough to last so many generations. For example, in China, there is a famous saying that a rich
man can only be rich in three generations, and many of them start to lose their families in the second generation. What kind of people like what kind of people , I like the eldest lady is nothing more than her average appearance, she looks good after wearing makeup, and people who are still in good shape (must be tall) find comfort in her, at least in terms of the consistency of shortcomings and the so-called nobles. Distance. As for that part of one's own merits, needless to say, it is even more loved.
For characters like Second Miss, I just want to say that the screenwriter is too mean. And the third lady looks the most beautiful, but I don't like people who are keen on politics and are still young and immature. However, it is obvious that among the three sisters, who has the real noble qualities, none other than the third young lady. The inner qualities of the other two are closest to the characteristics of ordinary people (of course it cannot be said to be ordinary, it must be called "the complex, diverse and profound truth of human nature"). Favoring the eldest lady is nothing more than wanting to find a "noble" coat for herself, in order to have ordinary human nature. The
reason why the third lady is a real aristocrat is because it is said that successful democratic reforms in Western society are often the result of vested interest groups willing to share the interests in their pockets. In the play, only the third lady is born with such a consciousness (or more accurately, kindness). If the screenwriter takes the third lady as the protagonist, endows her with knowledge and participates in the promotion of democracy, then this noble family is in my opinion. It's really expensive, but I'm afraid that this drama will be extremely boring. In dramas for the general public, the higher the status of the characters and the more ordinary and secular characteristics of human nature, will people resonate and be watched, because only in this way can people be satisfied. I'm waiting to climb a high branch mentally. Since most human nature is like this, the difference between the so-called aristocrats and non-nobles is in the final analysis, the rich and not rich, whether there are villas and manors, how many luxury goods can package the external image, how many people to hire. How many rules are listed and so on the surface excitement brought by these materials. And the human nature like the eldest lady is the closest to me, because it is not our own ambitions, what we want is this: rich or rich The elevated social status brought about by being born rich, wearing gorgeous underwear and jackets, and wearing a high-level, "I am a noble" banner wherever I go, it seems that I have a sense of superiority over others. We admire and must tolerate our unbridled evil and must discover and love our good. How difficult and tiring it must be to be the third young lady, who is closer to a saint in the innermost part.
It is said that an important aspect of the show is the strict hierarchy and master-servant culture of that era. I wonder what is the essential difference between this and today's workplace culture? Except for the only two evil servants that are clearly placed there, the others are basically very honest, honest and loyal. I don't know if this is an idealized plot or the British are really like that. Assuming it is the latter, then it is the majority of ordinary British people who have the precious qualities. The eldest and second young ladies were typically narrow-minded but self-proclaimed noble, and they were just born in a noble family, and they were born to wear aristocratic clothes, but they couldn't hide their inner qualities. That very worldly and savvy gay servant actually claps hands and applauds the miscarriage of the mistress in front of many people. What is the logic of this screenwriter?
At the end of the first episode of the second season, the AB love that was deliberately fabricated in front of it went smoothly, and the screenwriter used a plot like B's wife to be able to learn the secrets of the royal embassy. It has to be said that the signs of this soap opera are like a fox's tail that has long been unable to hide. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder in chasing dramas like this, but anyone who thinks that the plot can still be watched will continue to pursue it.
