2019 is a year of farewell,
many British and American dramas that have accompanied us for many years have been withdrawn from the screen this year.
For example, "Game of Thrones" that ended this summer,
is definitely a sign of the end of the drama. The end of "The Big Bang Theory" of
also broke the hearts of many fans. The end of a smart and amiable drama like
is like the reluctance to leave with a roommate who had been with a roommate for four years when he graduated from college. For many loyal viewers, he is already a friend or even relative who has been with him for many years.
And the new drama produced this year, although the overall level is good, it is a kind of "cool drama" characteristics. The world view of the new
drama is not big, and the relationship between the characters and the story background is not "Game of Thrones" or "Western World". "Such a "big drama" is so complicated.
Therefore, in recent years, major TV stations have had a "restart" trend.
is not a restart of the drama like "Prison Break", but for the drama that everyone still remembers after the end, we will create another one. This movie,
, uses this to satisfy the audience's fantasy of a "lifetime".
is like the finale of Netflix's "Super Feeling Hunting" movie last year,
actually, the plot is no longer important. What the directors of
dedicated to the audience is just the ending they are looking forward to. The
and let the audience experience another collective carnival and seamless cooperation with the super-sensing group of eight. The two-hour movie of
has also received Highly rated by the audience.
also has this year’s "Breaking Bad: The Lasting Man" movie version,
just because the old white and the little fan are in the same frame for the short five-minute warmth in the movie, the film score is mentioned 8.1 points.
When the two people walked out of the room and walked side by side,
made the audience's thoughts return to the tense, passionate and moved mood of chasing this drama a few years ago.
At the end of the year, one of the most important ones in the history of British drama, "Downton Abbey", also returned after four years. Not only that, "Downton Abbey" will also be released in China on December 13.
is also very interesting for British and American dramas.
"Game of Thrones" was originally an original novel by a British writer, and almost all British actors starred in it.
, but "Game of Thrones" was created by American HBO TV. The original work of
British author JK Rowling’s Harry Potter has taken the world by storm. The starring role in the
movie has also complied with the author’s requirements. All of them are British actors, but the Harry Potter movie is produced by the American Time Warner Company Build.
In other words, the British can always create a fantastic and magnificent literary universe of the world, while
is good at using the power of light and shadow to project these words and fantasy in their minds onto the screen.
So what should a good British drama look like?
should be "Secret No. 9" in less than 30 minutes, telling a short essence, reversal, darkness, schizophrenia, these elements that need great preparation,
light brushes are embellished with thick ink, and the critics are shocked. , A big family with hidden murderous intentions in a small closet.
should also be the first two seasons of "Black Mirror". In the future era of advanced technology,
still shows the primitiveness and ugliness of human nature. Each episode can make a major reversal of our psychological defense in the "reasonable".
should also be "The Goldman Family" and "Taboo". Under the elegant and dignified style of England,
hides the dark secrets.
The British are best at family dramas with a background of the times.
is different from the humor or healing of American family dramas. British family dramas always have the beauty of traditional British rituals.
, but under this gorgeous beauty, He did not hesitate to show the darkness of mankind and the obscurity and resistance arising from traditional interpersonal relationships.
In fact, the British people’s subtle, refined, elegant and dignified complexity and undercurrents are similar to our cultural traditions, and
dominates the wisdom of the family.The old man who coexists with the sharp and sees everything through,
such as the still agile old lady Violet and the dream of the red mansions,
has the same strong and independent personality, but unfortunately it is the third lady and Tanchun,
and even the servant's physical character Also worthy of the title, gentle and powerful, quiet but independent thought and style, exquisite, elegant Anna Heping,
playful and clever, full of fighting spirit, free and easy Daisy and Qingwen.
In "Downton Abbey", the master and servant are intertwined, which not only shows the independent personality charm of "servant", but also shows the gap between master and servant and the insurmountable sorrow.
and "Dream of Red Mansions" not only contains "twelve golden hairpins" "There are also "twelve maids",
's "Downton Abbey" movie this time also has the meaning of a combination of grand solemnity and chaos in the chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions" in the chapter of "The Concubine of the Yuan Dynasty".
is like a very incisive summary in the movie:
"It's like a swan swimming on the lake, it looks elegant and beautiful on the surface, but it is desperately kicking its feet underneath." The
movie version of "Downton Abbey" tells a new story. The story is that Downton Abbey, where
has always been undercurrents, suddenly received an unexpected letter that the British royal family is about to visit. When
, the king and his wife, who symbolizes the highest authority in Great Britain, came to this peaceful country house, both of them said What kind of unexpected collisions will happen to
when people who have been pursuing lifelong pursuit of elegance and honor meet?
If you say that the "Yuan Fei Xingqin" of "Dream of Red Mansions" has the bleak essence behind the glory and prosperity of
,
then, what "Downton Abbey" has tried to do is:
brings to the audience who have been missed for many years The "last fairy tale" of an English nobleman.
And the old lady said frankly to Mary at the end: "I won't live long!"
Perhaps, this paragraph may be the only sentimental part in the movie, and it is also "Downton Abbey" that the old lady told the audience. The final farewell,
can exit the screen with such a blank space at the end, which happens to run through the entire drama:
even though the entire manor has reached a chaotic situation, it is still the essence of elegance and calmness.
"I won't live long, and Downton will be handed over to you in the future." The entrustment of the old lady
is also the deep flavor of the final farewell. The six series of
plus a movie heralded the "Downton Abbey" The story officially ends, but Downton's spirit and grace will be passed on forever.
For seven years, the round, elegant and exquisite English accent and the running up and down, between the dining table and the kitchen, between the master and the servant, are finally coming to an end,
but "Downton Abbey" has taught us: Stick to the traditional elegance and decency, and never forget the change and innovation! On the surface,
maintains a calm attitude of calmness, honor and disgrace, and never forget the surging and vitality represented by the most primitive vitality inside.
is like a 90-year-old old lady. Even after saluting the king,
was bent over and couldn’t straighten up, but at the table, she still did not forget to quarrel with her old girlfriends and family members and think about her family. Humorous and playful,
is a kind of vigorous vitality that transcends age, which makes people cry in admiration after laughing. As a maid, Daisy, who can only be busy in the kitchen downstairs all day long, is also a representative of vitality. Even if she is a maid, she also has her own point of view and stand, and she will never greet her because she is pleased with her master,
Even when others make fun of her: "Your wish is the female senator", she can reply without being humble or humble: "That's better than having no wish." Even if
is a maid who can only do the basic work, she always has an adventurous spirit in life. Because
is jealous, she can smash the pipes built by the plumber and say:
, "I always thought you were a man willing to be ordinary. People, but I know now, you are a person who has the courage to challenge life, and we are the same person."
A maid, even if she is humble, never forgets to explore the newness of life and challenge again and again. Chance,
This is also the seemingly calm Downton VillageThe vitality of eternal possession under the garden.
The description of the master-servant relationship in "Downton Abbey" is still a realistic and ideal model under the elegant retro quality. The masters of
dine upstairs elegantly, and the servants are busy downstairs. The class divide that has been crossed has also become an indivisible family.
The servants tried every means to do the best service for the masters. The waist of the second lady's skirt was too big, and the kind and witty maid Anna thought of a way for the master to cleverly solve the problem that the nobleman could not solve, and
was a servant After serving the food, when facing the king's praise and unable to move nervously, the lady's elegant but warm smile and words helped him out.
In fact, in the relationship between upstairs and downstairs, there is indeed an unequal helpless reality. However, Downton Abbey uses the beauty of human nature to give an ideal answer that cannot be changed and does not need to be changed.
pampered nobles are not Carefree, there are endless troubles under their elegant and noble surface. The second lady
is pregnant, but the husband promoted by the king cannot accompany her during childbirth. The old lady
is very sick and has to leave. This beautiful Downton Abbey, Miss Mary
, as the support of the family, looks independent, calm and strong on the surface, but she often doubts whether her persistence is meaningful.
And the busy servants downstairs are not mechanical working machines, they have lost their thoughts and pursuits. No matter the master or the servant, they are ordinary people. They have distance, but they can also break distance.
is like Miss Mary when she doubts whether her persistence is meaningful,
Anna’s simple words instantly give her strength:
"I tell you what your persistence is, you give a group of people the opportunity to work."
When time goes by, the people in Downton Abbey will also be updated,
But Downton Abbey, this ancient and beautiful house will be passed on, and it will carry the spirit of the people who lived in the house and the glory of humanity beyond class.
