As Jamie said in the interview, I fly from New York to London. After playing the Americans, he returned to the UK to film Nicholas Nickleby (NN), the BBC adaptation of the literary masterpiece Dickens. He played the abused Smike, played the abused person, but he let it go, and many old actors were full of praise for his role as Smike. Jamie's Smike has to walk with a limp all the time, and it's hard work.
Jamie made this poor, tortured and abused child so emotional that it could easily lead to a flood of maternal love. Smike is fragile, sensitive, inferior, easy to collapse, longing for love but not willing to love, silently angry with himself, at the last moment of his death, he told NN the secret in his heart, and then died peacefully. His role is quite heartbreaking. Every time his smile is so attractive, because it is rare, it is remembered clearly.
In the film, NN and Madeleine (played by Anne Hathaway, I personally think she is not suitable for acting as a girl in English literature) had a relationship until they got married, but after watching it, I felt that the whole film was clearly about the ambiguous relationship between NN and Smike , NN stood up for Smile to beat the old villain who tortured Smike, and prayed to his father to bless Smike. After learning that Smike died of pneumonia soon, he accompanied him in the country all day and took care of him in every possible way. NN is tall and played by Jamie. Smike is very petite, always delusional, Smike bird snuggled in NN's arms. The dialogue between the two of them is very similar to the words between lovers, and every time they hug, they feel full of QN. (I really realized it with hindsight. The actor who played NN was QAF’s Nathan. I said how he and Jamie acted like same-sex love. There is a reason. The mole is gone, it’s really hard to recognize. Ah)
All that aside, the film's music is great, I decided to put it on eDonkey for everyone to share, it's full of rural England, sweet and lively, fresh and elegant. (I don't know how to extract the OST from the DVD, it seems that the music cannot be shared with you)
