But the film is still good-looking, with the usual literary and artistic temperament of the BBC, the rural scenery is unparalleled, and the plot is too late to tell in five episodes. In the first half of the first episode, almost all the characters have come out, the relationship is chaotic, and the clues are complicated. The first five minutes were especially cramped, and it didn't make it clear why Tiggins had to marry a pregnant woman. He clearly knew the truth when he was talking to his brother in the carriage. After this scene, the rhythm slowly slowed down, and the storytelling began.
The actress who played Sylvia had a very obvious appearance at the beginning of the century, thin, with protruding gums and slightly raised eyes. Such looks were common a hundred years ago, after all, dentists and orthodontics were not so common back then. Today's stars all have neat white teeth, a face like her original ecology, coupled with the character and behavior of the characters, there is really nothing to match.
Sylvia's IQ is really not high, she is just playing tricks on women, MS is invincible in the love scene, she thought that the husband she caught was a fool, and she could play on her palm, Just like her lovers, Tiggins is a principled person, and at first he fell into her trap, was captured by her, and became a cheap dad. But stupid people have stupid tricks, he just stubbornly refused to get on her bed, and it took him a few years to get Sylvia, this stupid bitch off the horse. Sylvia had to live and die in the future, and she stayed like a jade for five years and did not mess around, and she went on the battlefield to flirt. Tiggins' reputation, future, finances, popularity, etc. have all been in big trouble, all thanks to her. This woman is really a typical example of a single tendon. Apart from playing with men and tossing her feelings upside down, there is no other way to live, and it is not new at all.
And the little girl who plays Valentina is really in line with the character's image. She is white, plump, fresh, and looks like a noisy steamed bun that has just come out of the cage, which is very suitable for her age of sixteen when she appeared. The word chastity seems to be engraved on her forehead, and her appearance is distinct from Sylvia's slut image, which is almost face-to-face. The damage Tiggins suffered from his slut wife Sylvia was fully repaired in the face of Valentina's pure and selfless love. The scene in which the two first met in the fog was so beautiful that it was suffocating.
Sylvia is just a fictional character, there really is no need to like or hate it. She's just not smart, IQ is not high, and her vision is too shallow. She has always lived in her small circle, and she doesn't know there is anything else in the world other than playing emotional games. In the big era, a 16-year-old girl is already fighting for women's voting and freedom of speech. She is still living in lust, sleeping with a few men and playing love games, out of touch with the times. She looked down on Tiggins and wanted to conquer him at the same time. She came and went all by herself, and she had no opponent.
This story is actually the same as "Gone with the Wind". "Gone with the Wind" is about the elegant life of the old southern part of the past gone with the wind. After the Civil War, only the pastoral past remains. And "The End of the Queue" is also with the end of World War I, the ancient moral sentiment is like something (the name of the Tiggins mansion, it is said that the British love to name their manor, like a child who loves theirs The manor and the mansion, which are especially visible and important in this film, were cut down, as were the large cedars. Even an upright gentleman like Tiggins who strictly abides by moral norms has to give up the principles he believes in after the times have changed. He was neither divorced nor cohabited with a lady of good reputation. Since adultery has long been ignored in the upper class, why should he cling to his creed.
