A story of prophecy and reincarnation

The highly educated sisters are independent-minded, elegant, kind, and full of charm. The younger sister Helen fell in love with Paul, who lived in the Coster's house at Howard Manor, and became engaged to Paul, but Paul had no money to go to work in Nigeria, and broke off the engagement with Helen. Margaret and Helen, who were renting in London, met the Coster family and came to London to marry their eldest son Charles. Helen avoided going to Germany. As a courtesy, Margaret invited Mrs. Coster, who was at home alone, to be a guest. Congenial, Ruth wanted to leave Howard Manor to Margaret after her death, but was opposed by all the family. By chance, Coster fell in love with Margaret and was about to get married. At the wedding of their daughter Ivey, the wife of the lower-born Buster recognized Coster, her 16-year-old lover. Buster once changed jobs under the casual words of Coster and suffered unemployment, which caused Helen's strong guilt and dissatisfaction with Coster. Helen and Buster married and became pregnant, but she left the country without telling everyone. After Helen returned to England, she asked to live in Howard Manor. When Buster came, he was condemned by Charles and accidentally killed and imprisoned. Coster left Howard to Margaret and, after her death, to Helen's children, all of Coster's children without any objection.

It was as if Ruth had seen through everything, and from the beginning saw that Margaret was the owner of Howard Manor. After a circle, it was confirmed.

Independent women will have their own independent choices. Margaret and Helen come from the same family, but they have completely different personalities and choices. Margaret is tolerant, elegant and kind, and her sister is willful and upright. The elder sister chose the hypocritical aristocrat, and the younger sister fell in love with the impoverished lower class. But that didn't stop them from being sisters and loving and caring for each other.

The rhythm of the movie is a bit weird, I thought it was a suspense drama at first, but later found out that it was an emotional drama.

Howards End quotes

  • Henry Wilcox: Don't take a sentimental attitude toward the poor.

    [...]

    Henry Wilcox: The poor are the poor. One is sorry for them, but there it is.

  • Aunt Juley: All the Schlegels are exceptional. They are British to the backbone, of course, but their father was German, which is why they care for literature and art.
