forever classic

It was this drama that started my journey of watching BBC remakes of classic dramas. A drama that is reluctant to delete in the cloud and hard disk.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the roles of the male and female protagonists are still unavoidable, and there are still routines in the experience of the male and female protagonists, but they look good.
Yes, the male protagonist's face is worthy of being handsome and handsome. When he looked up and stared at you in the workshop full of snow-white cotton wool, when he was holding flowers at the station and flooding you with affectionate eyes, he suddenly felt that British men were too charming. The heroine's face is also good-looking. Although it is not a peerless appearance, she has the unique elegance of girls in the south of England, and coexists with tenacity and gentleness.
Of course, it is not only the love story that makes people intoxicated, but this story about the close understanding and tolerance of love is based on the background of the British Industrial Revolution and the integration of the North and the South. The story of two people is the story of the south and the north. The difference is not only the warmth and coldness of the climate, the gentleness and hardness of the personality, the ease and tension of the pace, the splendor and reality of life, the poetic pastoral and the cruel factory, the nobility. The natural departure from the circle and the working class is full of contradictions and conflicts. However, their shared tolerant and noble morality, compassion for humanity, and mutual respect for the bottom line make the two people's emotions have a foundation, and the evolution of the story gradually becomes profound and tense with the background events. Of course, the resolution of the conflicts between factory owners, workers, and labor and capital in the play is still too idealistic.
I really appreciate the subtlety of emotional expression and the beauty of poetry and painting in the language of the show, including the subtlety in the language dialogue. This may also be the charm of British style.

North & South quotes

  • Hannah Thornton: A mother's love holds fast and forever. A girl's love is like a puff of smoke - it changes with every wind.

  • Margaret Hale: I wish I could tell you how lonely I am. How cold and harsh it is here. Everywhere there is conflict and unkindness. I think God has forsaken this place. I believe I have seen hell and it's white, it's snow-white.
