Gorgeous retro costumes, in a time of turbulent power and turmoil, European and American classical dramas can always reveal a different charm to attract the public, and dramas based on real stories can let us know the history of the West through artistic processing. Following the well-known drama "Downton Abbey", this classic drama "Gentleman Jack" based on real characters captured me again.
"Gentleman Jack" is based on the real character Anne Lister (Anne Lister), although called "gentleman", she is an out-and-out "lady". In Halifax in 1832, she was known locally as Gentleman Jack, a very wealthy landowner. However, being a landlady is not all she is.
She is also a diary writer. The 4 million-word diary records her life, feelings and thoughts in detail, revealing her rich inner world between the lines, which has the power to move people's hearts. In addition, a large part of the diary is recorded with passwords, and there is a deciphering work dedicated to this diary in contemporary times, which can allow us to better understand the story of this commendable woman.
She is a traveler. She has traveled to many places and seen the customs of many places. One of the reasons why she finally returned to Yorkshire is to revitalize the economy of her hometown. She is a very responsible and responsible person. .
And her most colorful identity is that she is known as "the first modern lesbian in Britain". Dressed handsomely, neatly, daringly, and charismatically, Anne Lister can be said to be deviant at the time, but she can also be said to be brave and fearless. Tradition does struggle. ,
In the TV series, Annie is tall and straight, heroic and valiant. She walks with momentum and wind. There is no cowardly attitude of a little woman at all. It is difficult not to be impressed and admired by her confident and calm attitude. She is well-informed without showing off her knowledge, she is humorous but has a certain degree of progress and retreat, and when she cried bitterly because of her lover's betrayal and abandonment, we were deeply immersed in her personal charm.
She would flirt, and the rich young Miss Walker fell in love with her almost at first sight. Who doesn't love a rich man who is a handsome and handsome gentleman? Despite being the same sex, being tempted is too simple.
Anne Lister herself grew up in a wealthy local family, which is an important reason why she can be a bold woman and have the courage to express herself. Because of material satisfaction, she has the capital to travel around without any scruples. Even if she acts out of line, she is not afraid of being criticized, because she has the ability to change others and decide their fate.
The family of origin has a decisive influence on a person's spiritual shaping and character formation. It is said that everyone is equal, but in fact, they are placed on different starting points from birth. This is also the reason why many young people are now reluctant to have children, because their own lives are already very limited, and they do not want their next generation to be forced to choose a life that they are not willing to live.
And Anne Lister, a rich man with real mines at home, can choose what kind of person she becomes, and bravely fight against the conservative era. Not only is she able to establish her true self, but she is also able to love and protect the people she wants to love. When she decided to pursue Miss Walker as her wife, it was destined to be a successful hunt.
The costumes of this show are exquisite and comfortable, and the vintage costumes of the protagonist Anne Lister are so beautiful that people want to buy the same style. And as the protagonist's face value, it is obvious to all.
History is a mirror, you can dress up. Watching an inspiring female adaptation of a British drama may give confused people more power to find and express themselves.
