Everyone has their own sorrow

I've always liked movies about European courts, and this one is no exception. Flat lawns, dignified castles, and women walking around in fluffy skirts.

Naturally, it reminds me of the first sentence in "Anna Karenina", "Happy families are all similar unfortunate families, each with its own misfortune". So here, it should be that unfortunate people have their own misfortunes.

I always thought that the Duke was very annoying. He was impersonal, he was mean and old-fashioned, he possessed women wantonly, he never understood their feelings and thoughts, and he tortured women only for a son. However, after Hart was born, he finally began to release his suppressed feelings, "I love you in my way" "I give you everything, but only ask for your loyalty and a son" "It feels good to be free" , at that moment I understood that he is also a tender man, but he is the one who needs to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family; he is also a person who longs for freedom, but the red tape and the glory of the family have already taken him away before he has time to resist. Suppression, maybe he was so reckless at a young age like Georgiana, but he knew that there were more important things to bear. At that moment, I thought they should let go.

Georgiana, from a flowery girl, grew up to a The high-profile Duchess, she likes politics, clothing, gambling, speeches and publicity, I thought she had enough beauty and happiness, but she also has her own troubles" She is loved by all Londoners, but only he her husband doesn't love her", because she has not yet completed the issue of the heir. So she was left out by him, he wanted to find solace from other women, and she could only watch with heartache.

Mrs. Beth, I cursed her at first, she violated friendship and trust, she occupies the nest, but she also has her own troubles, she wants to get close to the Duke, but she can achieve the purpose of seeing her own children, Duke Although he liked these boys, he also clearly said how could he let these wild species inherit his family business. It's not that she doesn't know this, she can only cry in her heart, she doesn't want those fame and wealth, she doesn't want him to look at her, she didn't want Anna's approval, she just wants this Surviving, at least you can see your children. At that time, it was her paradise.

Charlie, eventually repressed emotions, bowed to power and politics. When they met at the banquet, they suppressed all the past, greeted each other like a pair of newly-acquainted friends, and all their feelings were only hidden at the lowest level. I think it takes a lot of courage and sacrifice. I don't even know if Anna really knew the difference, if what she had for Charlie was love, or if she just needed a listener, and Charlie showed up at the right time, maybe he was just the right person for her, just in the wrong one time, so it can only be missed.
