This is a movie that challenges the audience, because from the beginning to the end of the movie, it only describes some small details in detail, there are many characters, and their words contain stories, and they are thrown into the distance by the plot if they are not careful. Watching such a movie, you can only be a spectator forever, it is impossible to empathize with it, and it is impossible for you to fully understand what it is. It is just an introduction, which makes you suddenly shallow, and when you turn off the computer, you will no longer be obsessed with sorting out the drama. The relationship between the characters, because that doesn't matter. Or you, like me, keep thinking about where the cutlery is on the table, the arrangement of the master and servant bedrooms, the lunch in the garden after the hunt, or you will grab another book and study English customs. , and then look for similar movies that reflect British class life.
Yes, from this point of view, "Gosford Manor" is indeed very similar to "A Dream of Red Mansions".
There is no real protagonist in it, (PS: this movie gathered a lot of superstars), and there is no orthodox story to guide the plot. The love story between the aunt's maid and the manor's orphan's servant is just an embellished kiss. The maid and the manor owner have illegitimate children, but they can't recognize each other, and the interpretation is not earth-shattering. After the manor's owner was killed, the big detective pretended to investigate and eventually turned into a farce. We all just followed the bustling crowd to Gosford Manor and watched them change for dinner, sing and play bridge, cheat on relationships, wash clothes with milk, knock over ketchup, kill people.... Chung was brewing solemnly, and then was swallowed alive in the dark, still playing the piano and drinking red wine, the confused night, the dry land after the rain, packed up and left separately, the hostess would sell the manor, and then wait for the next paragraph.
This is "Gosford Park", two hours without much plot, but with a lot of stories.
