This turned out to be a high-scoring British drama, because of the foggy gray scene in the industrial town at the beginning, and the textile workshop that felt breathless after watching it, I almost didn't watch it, but After looking at it, I think it's really good.
Although the heroine is set to be very beautiful, she has a very wide face with Chinese characters, so she is not actually that kind of stunning beauty, although her beauty seems to be unforgettable when others mention it in the play. Well, the male protagonist is handsome, cool, and thin, just like the stereotypical English gentleman in conventional imagination.
What I think is good is not that this drama reflects a scene from the industrial revolution era, recording the development of the steaming textile industry, and even the constant class struggle between workers and capitalists. The kind of relationship between the protagonists is slowly advancing, unlike American dramas, where the first episode is always like dry firewood and raging fire. After going to bed, there are various routines to test whether the relationship can last for a long time. It may not be appropriate to give an example, but I think so, modern emotional American dramas are like the kind of hot pot that is very spicy in the mouth, meat, belly slices, and other foods all go into the stomach at once. , will soon be full. But sometimes you just want to eat some food for a long time before serving, even if the color and aroma after serving may not be so rich and attractive, it may be just a single taste, but it is still fragrant after a bite, such as egg dumplings and so on. . Anyway, I’m just making an analogy. I just think that when the chef at home makes egg dumplings, he will chop up egg skins, minced meat water chestnuts, etc. to make seasoning fillings, then wrap them one by one on a plate, and then put them in the steamer. The feeling of being in the pot until the pot comes out at the end, this scene is memorable, and the process is very beautiful, so if the British drama uses this method to modulate the emotional sophistication, it will be more enjoyable to watch.
I never remember the name of the protagonist, so I just call it the hero and heroine. The heroine, one thing that modern women also admire is: it is better to be short than to waste. In those days, women were always afraid that they would not be able to get married and would marry in a hurry, but she rejected a suitor who had no feelings but the conditions were actually quite good, which indeed required a strong will. Later, she followed her father to the gray industrial town. She felt unhappy when she saw the male protagonist's attitude towards the workers. Although the male protagonist explained, she still couldn't accept his actions, and because of her position On the side of the working class, even though he was like a fragrant diamond king in this city, she still remained unmoved until after all kinds of things happened, she found that he was a capitalist with principles and a certain conscience, My heart began to slowly accept him. At this time, because of some incidents, he began to misunderstand her again, and she was unwilling and unable to explain, even if he still did a lot for her to protect her, it was a gentleman's demeanor, but the British didn't like it Breaking the casserole and asking the question to the end, I just like to distance myself gracefully, so that the problem remains unclear, so the two had to pass each other regrettably. At that time, the audience was very anxious.
There are no fierce conflicts here, but all the conflicts in British dramas are like the stereotype of their nation: restraint and forbearance.
At the beginning, the male protagonist's mother and sister knew that the male protagonist likes the female protagonist, and all kinds of explicit hints, so the female protagonist has always been rejected by the male protagonist's mother, so the female protagonist did not want to climb high. Let's go, sister will have a place to go. The amazing thing is that there are always some very good bachelors in British dramas. There is a lot of property that cannot be used up. In the end, the heroine becomes rich, so the heroine who has ideas and financial support can finally stand on the same line as the hero. up. The contradiction is resolved, the three views are the same, the economy is complementary, and the collision of ideas has sparks, then love and love, let's be together.
In that era, marriage was indeed the most important way for women to obtain life security, especially for some poor girls. But in those days, if a rich girl didn't get married, she could live a good life by guarding her own property. After all, this was also a free way of life. You didn't have to be controlled by others, and you could realize your own value as much as possible. .
More than 100 years later, the girls now think so even more. Since they can be self-sufficient, there is really no need to take care of themselves.
