I don't have any expectations for this film. The heroine is not particularly graceful, and even the female supporting cast that has not appeared later amazes me, but those luxurious costumes make me complimented a lot, After watching the introduction, I thought it was a glamorous entertainment film that recorded the crooked style of aristocrats, but after watching it, it made me sigh.
Georgiana, as a descendant of aristocracy, married with love for love and life, but the duke did not like to talk or smile. Looking back on the man who was 9 years older than her, when he stood at the window and looked at her, I believed that he was love. Yes, but he needs a son who can inherit his title.
In the days of living with the Duke, Jo became the darling of British high society, she was fashionable, funny, active thinking and more politically minded. However, her husband did not show any warmth to her for this, nor did he hide his romance, and even brought home the daughter born before marriage when Qiao was pregnant. Joe was in so much pain, but she still softened when she saw the girl lying on the bed crying, she regarded her stepdaughter as her own, and tried to make everyone around her love her. She endured until she gave birth, and she hoped that she could save her husband, but luck did not favor her. The fact of giving birth to a daughter only made her husband farther away from her, and the two boys were stillborn in the next 6 years. , the only one who gave birth is still a daughter, which makes the couple even strangers~ Seeing this, I can only say that I sympathize with this woman whom everyone loves, this woman only whose husband does not love her, but apart from not being able to give birth Boys aside, I don't think the Duke likes her very much either, perhaps in disdain for Joe's overly idealistic social change theory.
At that time, Joe, who was only 23 years old, looked at the happy figures of his daughters, and the expressions on his face were real and happy, but that was only part of life. Except for these vivid girls who could no longer see the old days, those false masks were just a habit , The pain in her heart is eating her soul everywhere, she is always worried about her husband's derailment, and the woman who rejected her husband makes her curious.
Beth, her fate was equally unfortunate. Even though she gave birth to three sons for her husband, but her husband was only willing to hang out with his mistress, she ran away from his husband and lost custody of his sons. Two women who share the same illness come together. Beth makes Joe feel the love of friends. Joe also tries to help Beth regain the right to raise her son, but in the end Beth becomes her husband's lover. In fact, she sees Beth's defection. I'm not surprised, as Beth herself said, only the Duke can help her get the baby back. This is a surrender to male power, but Beth has missed her son so much, Joe is completely disappointed with his family, and he blames her husband for taking away the only friend who belongs to him. She has to resist, resist the unfairness of all this, she is in love with her old playmate Charlie Sgray, Charlie's young passion is full of love and passion for Joe, which makes Joe unable to extricate himself, she finally decides to talk to her husband about it.
Of course, the poor woman could not reach any agreement with her husband. It was a humiliating thing. Duke William even dispatched his mother-in-law to persuade his wife. The same situation always happens to women. As the letter from the child appeared, the question of choosing whether to be a child or a lover was put in front of Joe. Beth's struggle seemed to be attached to her. When Joe silently read the letter from the child, the mother's love greatly surpassed. With that love, Joe compromised~ Joe said to Charlie who rushed into his house: "Here is my child". How sacred is that determination, I believe that Charlie loves Joe deeply, and he is for Joe's love gave up the chase.
The story seems happy at the end, Joe gave birth to a boy for the Duke, and Charlie's child was returned to Charlie's father, and he visited often afterwards, and Beth's friendship supported her at these moments. The picture of two women playing in the garden with a group of children under their knees is so vivid and beautiful that I don't even want to think about those painful sacrifices! And in the end, the gentleness of the Duke is really like a waste of time~
In that era, although it was an honor for women to be sought after by many men, it was also another kind of male superiority and female inferiority. Power was not really held in the hands of women. Of course, I am not here to discuss the struggle between male and female rights. No matter in that era, no matter what status a woman is in, those great mothers are always the most radiant. Here we can see the corruption of the court and the upper class. No matter how capable a woman is, your everything is still under control. In the hands of men, those who clamor for feminism may despise submissive women, but I have to praise their greatness, their maternal love is the most sacred and greatest!
