Kate winslet's acting skills are becoming more and more proficient. In the first and second episodes, I really liked her, which is the reason why I continue to watch it, but in the second half of the fourth and fifth episodes, I really like her I feel that the narrative is too straightforward and lacks the tension of contradictions. Although the husband and daughter were later caught in bed, there are too few reasons to attract viewers.
Many people don't understand such a daughter. Indeed, Veda, in our Chinese saying, is an injustice. It seems that God has planted such a seed of evil in your destiny. Your own daughter is sent to collect debts. Otherwise, what will happen? Explain? Some people criticize Mildred's tutoring, but I don't see how she taught her daughter in the play at all, but I only see her strong and independent side, not bowing to fate. If you have to understand, then use "ordered even value" to explain it. It is already doomed that this daughter is here to oppose her and make her mother mad. That's how fate has arranged it, you can't choose your own daughter.
As for the relationship between Monty and Mildred, I don't understand either. When they met in a restaurant, Monty was a famous polo star, handsome and rich. He had a whim and invited waitress to go to his hut for a swim. This could have been a one-night stand or something. In his own catering industry, he later became a little white face who relied on women and did not want to work. It's hard to imagine that the two were in true love at first, but then what Mildred couldn't bear was Monty's aristocratic style, and his self-reliant habit was out of tune with it? Is this really difficult to explain logically? So, I think it's a failure.
The third point is the incestuous love between monty and veda. Veda was obsessed with Monty when she was a girl. When she became an opera star, she seduced Monty out of her own possessiveness or a strong challenge to her mother. However, the origin and development of this feeling was not explained in the play. Everything is based on the perspective of mildred. I really can't find a better reason to explain it, just because Kate winslet is playing this movie, so give her more roles? Kate is indeed suitable to play this kind of woman. She seems to have a homely air about her, she is stubborn and unyielding. I have never seen her play an intellectual, alas, let's not digress from the topic. As an ordinary viewer, I was only disappointed and confused after seeing it, and after watching it, I suddenly realized that this is a play about the relationship between mother and daughter.
