Sir William McCord invited celebrities from all walks of life to go hunting at Gosford Manor, but he ended up being the prey of multiple murderers. The special feature of the film is that the director did not put too much ink into the process of murder and arresting the murderer, but summoned many old actors with outstanding acting skills to portray and reproduce the British society after World War I. The meticulous and cumbersome etiquette, the heavily fortified class, the "dignity" of the dying aristocracy, the unbridled arrogance and extravagance of opportunistic upstarts, and the undercurrent of the lower class living "downstairs" eagerly waiting to spew out.. ....too many characters, too complicated emotions, too subtle psychology, revealed layer by layer in just two hours. A look, a sneer, and an action have all become a wonderful metaphor for the truth, but the truth has always been shrouded in a layer of mystery. Experience with indescribable emotions.
