found an embarrassing thing. There are still 4 days to be released in China, and this Douban movie with 8.1 points and actually has 6 seasons of TV series. Xiaozhi said it was purely to compare ratings. Gao Cai downloaded this movie and watched it... But, conscience, this movie is really friendly to passers-by. Except that the characters may not be very familiar, the plot, the relationship between the characters, and the characters' personalities are all very well understood, at least for Xiaozhi. For pure passers-by, I finished watching the two-hour movie.

Brief introduction of the story
A letter from Buckingham Palace, the king and queen need to stay overnight at Downton Abbey because they are visiting Yorkshire, and then go to Harwood to participate in the dance party. is a terrible one. Some people are happy and some are sad. What is happy is that they can meet the king and queen and have dinner with them or serve them. What is sad is that the son-in-law of the family Tom is an Irish Republican. The screenwriter of
did not let us worry about it in vain. Just as the servants were busy preparing to clean the house and prepare the food, the camera followed Tom. A Major Chetwood found him and asked him as an Irishman to the king. Views of the queen during her stay. ( Ireland is a country that has been continuously conquered by Britain but is finally independent. ) I thought it was worried that Tom would have an adverse effect on the king and the queen (such as assassination) during the stay in the military parade, but only later found out that he really wanted to murder the king and the queen. It was this Major Chetwood.

The arrival of the king and queen, the happiest thing is the servants. They imagined serving the king, that would be their supreme glory. But these illusions were broken by the arrival of the king's chief attendant and his party. They were all servants, but they regarded themselves as superior. They brought the king and queen's exclusive attendants, who made beds and quilts, cut clothes, car trips and even served dishes. Brought over. At this time, the servants stopped doing it. After some secret discussions, they dismissed the king's attendants and his party. The current steward Barrow almost entered the police station and couldn't get out, but fortunately, they finally fulfilled their fantasy and served. The king and queen ate dishes made by their own people.

The most impressive thing is about marriage. Princess Mary, who is in the royal family but lives involuntarily, will be scolded by her husband even when her children appear in the living room. Due to the lack of time; the change of identities, Tom and Lucy were living the lives of the people at the bottom. One jumped to the upper level because of the young daughter who married the manor, and the other was lost because of the identity revealed that he was about to inherit the mansion. They may have the same Experience, so the last two came together. When they finally danced, they did not step into the circle of the nobles, but on the outdoor stage of the manor, they separated from the nobles and the commoners.

The old lady of the manor should be the film’s ridiculous role. The knife mouth, the tofu heart, sometimes make people laugh out loud after a word, and sometimes they seem very mean. When the truth was unknown, Mrs. Bagshaw wanted to cede her mansion to Lucy, a maid, and the blades faced each other. She felt that it was a betrayal of her ancestor and should be sent to girdle; and she learned that Lucy was originally Pakistan. After Mrs. Gershaw gave birth to her daughter, everything was relieved.

The class contradiction of the story
is obviously a servant, but the servants of the royal family call themselves "the chief attendants" and feel that they are higher than the servants of the manor, but they have done scandals such as stealing; women see After the king and queen, they all have to kneel and bow, but the men only nod their heads. But whether it is a servant or a nobleman, it is the woman who makes the final key opinion. For example, the princess finally took the initiative to talk to her husband, and the pregnant second lady was in the ears of the queen. When the air blows, the husband doesn’t have to go with the army immediately; the servants rebel against the royal servants are also the head of the housekeeper; the whole estate is obvious, the master lives upstairs, the servants live downstairs, people of different identities enter different doors, but they are surprised when they talk. The equality of people feels that there is no difference in identity.
Happy ending
The king and queen stayed very smoothly; the servants personally served the king and the queen; the two servants who fell in love finally reconciled; the conflict between the old lady and Mrs. Bagshaw was also resolved; the princess Mary also proposed to her husband Get alongSee; the pregnant second lady also has a husband by her side; the confused eldest lady also strengthened her belief in maintaining the manor; Tom and Lucy, who were embarrassed, also came together; the male supervisor Barrow also had someone who understood him (male ).

For the pure passerby Xiaozhi, it may only be a good feature film. The climax is not so ups and downs, and the contradictions are not so intense, just a few small jokes, afterwards It was a peaceful ending to a happy reunion. Maybe this film is just a reply to fans who have liked "Downton Abbey". However, the acting skills of the old ladies are really good, and friends who like elegant stories are worth seeing. In addition, Downton Abbey is really beautiful, I really want to lie on the lawn outside the manor and enjoy the sun...
