Maybe the expected value is too high? I always feel that there is a faint craftsmanship, but there should be a lot of room for the director's 1984.
I haven't read the novel, but the screenwriter has changed more routines. The wiki looks at real people in history, which is more interesting. First of all, Mrs. Mulligan’s Mrs. Pretty is actually a few years older than Fiennes’s Brown. The academic authority old white man Philips is actually about ten years younger than them. He leads the team with Lily’s Margaret. , But not because she was light, but because she was already a very mature field excavator (she and her husband divorced in 1956, married to an Italian who met in Sicily, but divorced soon afterwards In the end, she and the brother of "Lawrence of Arabia" lived together until the death of his brother. Her articles and reports are very powerful.) It was not Mrs. Pretty's cousin who took pictures at the scene, but two other women. This cousin seems to be a fiction, probably to show the Royal Air Force's atmosphere line representing the imminent war plus the awakening of women... In fact, it is quite an instrumental person.
Mrs. Pretty is a super-rich, and the family business is very big. When the family traveled around the world, they went to Egypt to see archaeological excavations. She and her sister inherited an inheritance of 500,000 pounds, which should have been a lot of money at that time. Her husband's family was not as rich as her family, no wonder they could buy a large piece of land. The salary she paid to Brown seemed to be more than the £2 in the film. After the death of her husband, she was very keen on psychic things. On the one hand, she did have an interest in archaeological excavations, and on the other hand, it seemed to have something to do with her trend.
Although Brown did not receive a particularly good education from his poor family, he also went to a university similar to correspondence education, and learned Latin and French from the radio. He was very inspirational. His line is quite loyal?
Is there a feeling of patriotism education in the shoot now? The director is also from the Commonwealth and seems to be able to understand... Considering the significance of sutton hoo to the UK, it seems to be more national?
The director lost his father at the age of 12, and Robert in the film lost his mother at the age of 12. Mrs. Pretty actually got married and had children after the age of forty. The colonel and her have been in contact for more than 13 years. Perhaps the line of children is particularly rich and harmonious. What about the director's own experience?
I would also like to see the story of a neurotic woman who was addicted to psychics (very popular at the time) but worked as a medical assistant in the army when she was young, and the story of those female scientists in the archaeological team... it feels more exciting. . . It’s a bit beautiful now...but it’s still pretty good. It’s especially interesting to watch the excavation process.
