If there is one sentence to describe Downton Abbey, it would be "sweet but not greasy, sad but not sad". If I don't know how to write a movie review, I'd better try to write it. After watching the movie, I seem to have a thing on my mind. Downton's time flies too fast, every character is growing up, but our life in front of the screen passes very slowly, even if we can replay the previous stories over and over again, compare the characters in the play The past and present cannot keep up with them. Watching everyone in this group like Edith, Tom, Lucy, and Anna changing and harvesting happiness makes me feel powerless and lonely. Zhongren is never a teacher who teaches earnestly, so he should put away his envy, put aside his desires, and enjoy the movie as if he were enjoying the beautiful scenery. The film, as always, maintains the tradition of gorgeousness and elegance. Every picture is like a superb painting. The costumes, etiquette, and architecture in the paintings are incomparably exquisite. Walk gracefully in it. The warmth between family members and lovers brings life to this painting, and there are a few small details that are particularly moving, which make people smile involuntarily:
The earl and lady, servants, shopkeeper's eloquent delight at the king's visit; Mary waving and blowing kisses to the children at the ball, and the family looking up together; the king's valet and Thomas the merry laughter as they walk out of the shop after a prank , secret kisses and sweet smiles on dark street corners (although I saw him standing in the corner as the patrol drove the crowd into the car and immediately assumed it was the man who slept) (and I also because of the bright luxury of the grand banquet this line The strong contrast between the dark tones and the chaos of bars, streets, and patrol houses, and the violent performance of the upper-class civilians produced an indescribable sigh).
There are also some sad but not sad: The problems that Edith encountered after marriage are too common, she usually does things she doesn't like, and without the job she loves, it is not easy to have the right to speak frankly like her. Fortunately, there is a husband who loves her deeply, and a gentle mother who will say "you can't help" "Can I not try"; brave and fearless, Mary, who most believes in the spirit of British aristocracy, is in the wave of the times Despite the hardships, the idea of giving up Downton gradually came into being; the old lady who lived a wonderful and interesting life was extremely frank about death, and the conversation with Mary about inheritance and love was firm and powerful.
Of course, because of the length of time between the movie and the sixth season, some of the new characters' names are confusing, like Anna and Bates saying they picked up Johnny, is that their son, the little boy that Bates later held? George and Caroline mentioned in the conversation between Mary and the old lady, Caroline is George's sister, why didn't they show up? And Tom's original relationship line was cut off without explanation. If Johnny had grown so big, Edith should have been married for several years. Why couldn't Bates call her lady edith at first? Not Mrs.
Some words at the end, I actually have a different opinion about the plot of the battle for dignity downstairs in Downton, which occupies a large part of the film. Maybe it’s the influence of our country’s ancient TV dramas. I don’t think it’s wrong for the king’s attendants to bring ingredients from the palace and take over Downton’s service team. To ensure safety, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration. It’s the actions downstairs in Downton. It feels like breaking the rules, what if something goes wrong. The point I want to complain about the most is that the parade guards of the Wang Family Guard are worrying.
