This is a new film this year that tells the story of archaeology. Think of the "amazing" discoveries we have made in the archaeological community in recent years. Couldn't help but look up immediately. The time is before the outbreak of World War II. Based on a true story. Archaeologist Basil Brown was hired by Mrs. Pletty to excavate several mounds on her family's land, hoping to find something new. After digging for a few days, I found an ancient ship under the mound. If I continued to dig, I found some gold coins and treasures, which were determined to be antiquities from the Anglo-Saxon period. The time is in the fifth century AD. It's not too old for us here, but in England it's definitely a relic of the founding days of Great Britain. This discovery alarmed the local museum and the British Museum, and they all came to try to get a piece of the pie. Instead, Brown was left aside. According to the film, Brown's contributions have not been recognized until recent years. Basil Brown is a professional archaeologist. Extremely passionate about the archaeological industry that he is engaged in. In addition to his superb professional skills and professional sensitivity, he is afraid of "misunderstanding", as he said: "I have always been thirsty for knowledge." Therefore, he has also dabbled in geology and astronomy. When I first approached Mrs. Pletty, the salary was not negotiated. He looked at the mounds in disappointment, and said regretfully, "What a pity!" What he regretted was not the salary that he might have lost, but his inability to discover these monuments with his own hands. But once he started to excavate, he devoted himself to it, day and night, sunny and rainy days, like an unsupervised labor model, even being almost buried by a landslide, without any regrets. This brings us here. When it comes to archaeology, it is a lively industry today. Its driving force comes from Brother Kong Fang. Archaeologists are pretty much just legal tomb robbers. When I found a cemetery, I hurriedly looked for treasures, or I proudly declared that this was the tomb of the Queen Mother and the tomb of Sun Monkey Taboo Wukong, and all of a sudden, the homes of all the famous people of all dynasties were found out. There is only one purpose: to empty the wallets of those silly tourists and make a profit. Although the scholars at the British Museum in the film are not as wicked as we are here, the gentlemen are ashamed to talk about "profit", but they are also for "famous", dragging their fat bodies around the excavation site all day long. And Brown is different from these philistines. He feels his work "is not about the past and present, but the future. It is for future generations to know where they came from, and it is the link that connects ancestors with future generations. That is the footprint of life, and that's what we do." And digging." In Britain, where the war is clouded, "different from this damn war, that meaning will last forever." Off-site, I would rather be an ordinary excavator than hand over the notes of my previous work to the latecomers of the British Museum without reservation. It is because only Brown truly understands the essence of archaeological work. Mrs. Plett also loves and pays close attention to this archaeological work. But unlike Brown, the surprise was followed by more sadness for this discovery. She thought, "If a thousand years pass in an instant, what will be left of us? We will die, then rot, and we will not live forever." Brown countered her: "I'm afraid I don't agree. We've been around since the first handprint on the wall. So, we're not really going to die." Mrs. Pletty and Brown's argument was not, I think, the difference between pessimism and optimism. For Brown, his vision has been sublimated, he has already placed himself in the whole of mankind, not only a part of the whole mankind, but also a part of the past, present and future of mankind. He doesn't care about the life and death of individuals, let alone the fame and fortune in the world. He has devoted himself to human beings with all-out love, and he uses this passion to treat work and enjoy life. He is eager to understand the past and present of human beings. The entire human race has become one. His life is eternal. There are also some descriptions of love in the film. First, Mrs. Platy's cook told Brown about Platy's marriage: "He was a colonel, and on Edith's seventeenth birthday he proposed to Edith, but she refused. For the thirteen years of her life, he proposed to her every year on her birthday. She finally accepted the colonel's proposal." Think about it, what a romantic insistence for a marriage proposal for thirteen years! Next up is Max and Peggy's love affair. Are they cheating? Yes and no. The most touching thing is the looming love between Brown and Mrs. Pletty. Brown had a wonderful wife, and Mrs. Pletty, single, was seriously ill. Both of them understand that this love can neither be confessed nor will it have results. But they still love each other silently. The process of wanting to talk and doing nothing suggests the desire and restraint between them. very good! The filming of the scenery is unique. The main element of shooting landscapes is light, but the film shows us a few cloudy scenes. The horizon is either high or low, occasionally making the audience feel the vastness of the sky and the vastness of the earth. Under the thick clouds, the sun occasionally shines through the morning fog. A sailboat came slowly on the river, Brown was sitting on the bank, we could only see his silhouette with his back to the screen, the people on the boat and Brown greeted each other, and then slowly walked away. Calm, quiet, peaceful. feel What I find uncomfortable is the structure of the film. It is obviously divided into two parts, one is before Brown found the monument, and the other is when the archaeological team is stationed, which makes people feel that the theme is too scattered. Among the female roles, Carey Mulligan's performance is in place. Lily James' acting
