On the Nth day after being planted by Nakano Kyoko, I finally began to intensively watch movies adapted from various secret stories of that era.
At the end of the film, Georgiana became the most powerful and prestigious woman in the upper class of that era. As a woman who lived for 48 years, how to say it was worth it in the upper class of the UK. Look at what happened to Anna Karenina. Georgiana cheated, gave birth to an illegitimate daughter, and even returned to the upper class to live a prosperous life. The important thing is that her husband, the Duke of Devonshire, forgave her, she There is still a good friend who will never leave you in the most difficult time. Although we share the same husband, what can the woman of that era, the woman in the fence, be like?
Georgiana seems to be living a life of winners.
But that's just what we thought, or what the public thought, even the Duke thought, what her mother thought.
Georgiana actually did not live a happy life for herself. It is said that this is the fate of the woman of the upper class, and that her offspring, Diana, when she tries to break through the barriers of her grandmother, awaits her death--until now, like many, I do not believe that is a accident. So, Georgiana can be considered a good death, otherwise, what can be done?
In the whole film, what moved me most was Georgiana's breakdown in the face of the betrayal of her friendship.
"There are so many women in England, why her? Why can't she be left to me, she is my only comfort."
When a woman can't find solace in love, friendship is probably her last private grass in this world. The Duke of Devonshire didn't love her, and he didn't love anyone. In the shackles of rules and responsibilities, the Duke of Devonshire is not free. It seems that his power is unparalleled, but in fact, he is more helpless and repressed than Georgiana; his mother seems to love her, but only Love with limits, love with choice and purpose. Everyone in this world is doing the "right" thing, and Beth, Georgiana's only freedom. She can be soft to a person, and this person will give her a corresponding return. She knew that Georgiana loved others, and she understood Georgiana's grief. But even this was lost. It wasn't the Duke's betrayal that pained Georgiana, but Beth's betrayal.
Beth also has Beth's helplessness. Only by giving herself and hurting her friends can Beth gain the power of the duke and get her children back.
Beth went to Georgiana to explain, and she said, "There's no lower limit to this."
Rather, it was Beth's perseverance in Georgiana's toughest times, but rather that she understood Beth when the Duke forced her to leave Grey with the child. Yes, a mother, in order to be with her child, has no lower limit. She didn't understand it at one time, but only later did she realize how painful it is to be forced to be separated from the child, that is, no matter what you give, you have to get the child. Beth sacrificed herself, but for herself, doesn't it say that love is very important? Don't you sacrifice love for it?
Georgiana asks Beth: Do you love my husband?
Beth returns: I love you as you love him.
What a wonderful answer, but Georgiana, who was overwhelmed by love and anger, could no longer hear Beth's helplessness. After so many years, Georgiana finally had enough pretending and being "loved" enough to put the Duke's and Beth's hands together before she died.
You'll be me from now on, Beth, but it's not so good to have it all. Every woman in the upper class is not herself, she only does one thing in her life, in order to be "loved". Everyone is a handicapped person, so don't dislike anyone, just deal with living, that's what it means. That's what the Duke said "I love you in my own way", and he can only use this way, because he has not learned more ways, his world, his class, do not allow him As unrestrained as Gray, and Gray as Prime Minister, isn't it the same?
Georgiana's helplessness is also everyone's helplessness. Fortunately, Georgiana still has Beth, and when Georgiana died, Beth was left alone. Even the story of being a junior is not always static. In Georgiana's life, she has been willful, loved, hated, and screamed. All in all, she seems to live more clearly than her descendant Diana.
