, starring actress Meg Ryan and Gentleman No. 1 Hugh Jackman. It's a romantic light comedy.

Hugh Jackman plays Leopold, an English duke living in the United States in 1876, while Meg Ryan plays Kate, an advertising agency clerk living in 21st-century New York. The yin and yang are different, time and space travel, and a love that travels through time and space is staged.

The overall atmosphere of the film is relaxed. For example, Leopold is the inventor of the elevator. His housekeeper is named OTIS (this name is familiar to everyone). He ran into the 21st century, resulting in the elevator not being invented. All elevators in New York all broken. And a duke in the 19th century will naturally have a lot of disasters in the 21st century. I won't go into details on this. Let's see for yourself.

The biggest highlight of this film is the protagonist actors. Hugh Jackman's role as a handsome young aristocrat is perfect, it's a perfect image, and Meg Ryan's life-like performance is even more familiar. The appearance of these two people greatly increases the romantic atmosphere of the film. Aristocrats from the 19th century to the 21st century saw the miracle of human technology and all kinds of conveniences in life; but they also brought the etiquette, grace, integrity and courage that have long since disappeared in modern society, as well as the leisurely life of the 19th century. Rhythm. In the 21st century, a downright aristocratic gentleman has appeared, which will undoubtedly make women excited.

The two were attached to each other on the balcony, and the sound of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" reverberated in the air, probably the scene that impressed me the most in

this film.
