In the interview with the director, the director mentioned that the two sisters in the original novel are actually in their 40s, but if they can invite Judi Dench to perform, age is not a problem. Thinking about the possibility of sisters in their 40s falling in love with a 20-year-old, it is more reasonable for them to be in their 40s in terms of story time and plot settings. The story is set in the late 1930s, when World War II was about to break out, and the trauma of the last war was still there. Although the movie does not explicitly explain it, we can know from the scene where the two sisters clean up the room that the sister Janet was married (from the conversation between the two, it is very likely that they were not married for a long time, and the husband went to the battlefield and died) , while sister Ursula has never tasted love. The two sisters probably came from a squire's family. In such a place, there are not many young men who are well-matched. In addition to the First World War, many young people, including the aristocratic youth of the upper class, went to the battlefield and died in foreign countries. It also makes many women lose the opportunity to find marriage. Therefore, in the calculation, more than 40 years old is a reasonable age, from World War I to the eve of World War II, 20 years, and if the two sisters were in their 20s during World War I, it completely conforms to the setting in the story. Of course, 70-year-old Judi Dench and Maggie Smith performed too well in the movie, and 70-year-olds and 20-year-olds walking on the sunny coast are also very beautiful. Charles Dance himself said that when he finished the script, the first thing he thought of was to find two old friends, JD and MS, and they agreed to play the role without reading the script. The director himself often plays a little evil old man in movies and TV, but he didn't expect the works to be so beautiful. Daniel Brühl himself mentioned that he did not know why the crew chose him to play this role that made the two sisters distraught. He felt that Andrea should be a blond, angel-like young man. He probably thought of "Soul Broken Venice" The boy in? If you are looking for German actors, maybe Matthias Schweighöfer in "The Red Baron" is more suitable. His blond hair and angelic image have won him many roles with angelic and religious metaphors, but although such images are refined, they are not vulgar. People who like this kind of image tend to be literary and artistic. The protagonist of "Soulbroken Venice" is a gay writer. Young women probably prefer men who are more manly, and at that time DB, perhaps the most suitable for mother-in-law, was a very young, cute and well-behaved boy. But looking at the director's own diary, the director originally wanted to find someone with a young, A young man with a dark and beautifully brooding face, he has also found the ideal candidate in a Polish movie, a Polish actor, but because the movie he saw was shot years ago, when he saw each other, that Actors have matured quite a bit and have lost the innocence that is so crucial to their characters. Later, the producer recommended DB. Of course, DB does not lack innocence, which is one of his major characteristics, but compared with the ideal candidate originally selected, DB lacks the charm of his young man with a little femininity, melancholy and mystery. , DB is too sweetly boyish, so there are American audiences (completely understandable that American audiences are unlikely to appreciate this type of aesthetics) that DB's Andrea is unattractive. In addition, the role of Andrea is rather vague, except that he is Polish, violin in elementary school, and going to the United States, the audience knows nothing about his background, and the author does not intend to explicitly show his feelings for the two heroines , so it is true that some people say that this is a role of love interest. Of course, another important character, Olga, is also not much three-dimensional, except that she is Russian, her brother is a famous violinist, and she is a painter, the character of this character is not clear. However, these two people are outsiders. Just like the director's letter pen shows the cornish harvest scene, the people and scenery in Cornwall are very well represented by the director, and the people living in Cornwall are more vivid. , including the maid of the sisters' house and the jealous doctor.
