This is a very simple story: the eldest son of an English country nobleman met a beautiful American female racing driver and fell in love together. After they got married, they returned to the British country estate, but the American daughter-in-law could not be conservative in the United Kingdom Accepted by the rural aristocracy, after several struggles, the racer resolutely chose to give up love and return to his own life.
But on closer inspection, the story is not simple. The gradual decline of the British rural aristocracy, the struggle between conservative ideas and avant-garde consciousness, the annihilation and destruction of human will by war, the collision between the ideal of love and reality, many details are reflected in this beautiful and sad story, until That bizarre ending of the story is hard to see and forget.
--Why are you sitting in the dark?
--Watching. People are so universally similar when their guard is down.
--It seems they are universally similar when their guard is up, as well.
Female racers are finally at feudal Tired of family confrontation. She sat lazily by the window of the upstairs hut, without turning on the light. Yes, after people take off the mask of hypocrisy, the faces of old-fashioned, afraid of change, of new and unusual things are all the same. But even with the mask on, everyone still looks the same. An independent, strong, generous and open-minded female racing driver is undoubtedly a beautiful swan flying into a pool of backwater for the conservative English countryside, but the swan is either submerged in backwater or flying away, and it is difficult to combine the two. . Ironically, the only person who can understand a female race car driver is not her young husband, but her father-in-law who lost his soul in World War II.
"I didn't bring a single man back. This whole village died."
When he said this, the titular male host of the village castle didn't cry, but his face was full of sadness. The middle-aged men in the entire village responded to the king's call to go to war in a foreign land, but in just a few minutes, tens of thousands of people lost their lives. Since then, the master's heart has died. He began to live with nothing to do, willing to endure the scolding of his wife and the white eyes of the villagers. In his eyes, life has no meaning. He never told anyone what was in his heart, even if he put down his dignity and went to Paris's Fireworks Lane to find his depraved wife, or his daughters who were taught by his wife to be equally conservative and withdrawn. But only the female racing driver quietly listened to her father-in-law's grief.
'My first marriage cost my youth and I am stealing someone else's.'
When she said this, the female race car driver was helpless. Her ex-husband was suffering from cancer and eventually couldn't stand it, begging her to take his own life . She loved her husband so much that she finally chose to help her husband who had no strength to even die, injecting poison into her husband's body, so she went to court. Although the court finally acquitted her, everything she did Can't be understood by her current husband. At the last dance, her husband rejected her invitation to dance and left full of anger. She faced the crowd helplessly, everyone just watched the jokes lazily, and no one danced together At this time, the father-in-law, who has always been buried behind others, extended a helping hand to her gentleman. After the end of a soulful Tango, everything is over.
"Oh, John, my darling. You don't know what love is, you have no idea what it means to love someone so much that you will do anything for them, even inject them with poison."
The female racer finally chose to give up her love. Boys have boys' responsibilities and obligations, and she has her own life. Although this statement about Love is very touching, I don't think true love is the courage to inject poison into a lover... The
ending is a little weird... The always silent father-in-law got into the car of the female racer and decided that the two of them would leave together. [Er, it really doesn't matter if the father-in-law and daughter-in-law eloped orz]
But from another perspective, maybe it's just two different species who decided to leave this suffocating world at the same time and pursue their own lives, just hitchhiking, hitchhiking... …
==========I'm the unkind dividing line============
There are two scenes in the movie that are very interesting to say~~~ I
accidentally saw the silly sister dancing I don't know what to do. John quietly covered his face with his hat...
When the warm couple in the deserted castle in the wild was found by the hunting hounds, John quickly grabbed the dog beside him and covered the important parts XD ...[It turns out that the puppy also has this use...orz]
==========Ou Su is looking forward to the new film's dividing line================In other
words, accidentally I saw the movie adaptation of Wilde's famous novel "Dorian Gray" that will be released in September this year on the Internet. It is still starring the golden combination of Prince Caspian and Darcy [big mistake...]~~~ Speaking of which, Wilde My favorite in the novel is this one~ Speaking of Dorian Gray, the evil handsome guy who is well-known in the UK, he also came out and staged an Infernal Affairs in the League of Gentlemen, and then he was also destroyed after the portrait was destroyed. I have no objection to Ben Barnes playing this role in terms of image~~~
