As a fan and movie fan, Uncle Yu sincerely recommends that everyone go to the theater to watch. A good movie that can be watched on the big screen, never miss every opportunity.
Before introducing the movie, let's briefly pave the way for the knowledge of the drama.
The story of "Downton Abbey" focuses on the family of Grantham , a country mansion in Yorkshire, England in the early 20th century.
In that era of rapid change, turbulence and opportunities coexisted, the master and servant of the manor experienced problems such as family inheritance, world war, financial crisis and so on.
has gone through difficulties again and again together. The long story span of
and the complicated historical era imprints give this British drama an epic sense of grandeur. The six seasons of
's plot and the relationship between the characters are obviously impossible to summarize in a few sentences.
So this article will still focus on the introduction of the movie version.
New audiences who don’t have a foundation in the drama don’t have to worry too much. The film is extended, and is a brand new independent story.
The roaring siren and rolling wheels carried time to 1927.
One morning, Lord Grantham received an unexpected letter from Buckingham Palace.
brought heavy news with the letter: The King and Queen of England will come to Downton Abbey for one night. The visit of
royal family members is undoubtedly an extraordinary event. It was both an honor and a huge challenge. The manor was like a big enemy, both excited and in a hurry. How to receive and serve the royal family and maintain the dignity of Downton Abbey has become a common problem before the master and servant.
Upstairs (master) and downstairs (servant) each have their own troubles.
is downstairs, before the royal family arrives, led by the king's attendantA group of royal servants came to Downton first, intending to take over all matters large and small in the manor during the visit.
Obviously, this arrangement made the servants downstairs who were forcibly "holiday" quite unhappy.
not only feels that themselves are not trusted and hurts their self-esteem , but what is more unwilling is that they cannot add glory to Downton through their own efforts.
and upstairs, the situation is equally bad. A blood relative Maud who has long been severed from the family will visit as the queen's maid.
Maud has no children at his knees, and should have designated the closest and most suitable Earl Grantham as his heir. However, she refused to do so. The reason behind it is unknown. Count
's old mother was naturally quite dissatisfied with this relative's actions.
So the old lady planned to take advantage of the royal family's visit to force Maud to "submit" and recover the property belonging to her son. Behind
, there will be another family past caused by the issue of inheritance rights at . The
royal family is coming soon, how should Downton’s servants regain control and maintain their dignity and Downton’s? Can the old countess fight for the inheritance rights for her son? What is the hidden secret behind
blood relative Maud's reluctance to appoint heir?
In order not to spoil the freshness of everyone's viewing, Uncle Yu is not much spoiler.
For fans of the drama version, this movie is undoubtedly a sincere sequel.
costumes are more gorgeous and the setting is more refined.
especially when the opening song accompanied by a ringing bell sounds, it is enough to make fans cry in their hearts: still a familiar formula, or a familiar taste!
On the other hand, the movie version does not exclude non-drama fans. may be confused by the numerous characters and complex relationships at first. But as long as you have a little patience, as the plot deepens, you can still be easily pulled into the exquisite and elegant world of . luxurious retro pictures, gentle and steady rhythm, exquisite and humorous lines and vivid and true character modeling, every detail is extremely attractive.
, such as the lovely old countess, has always been a living treasure in the play, and was named the poisonous tongue queen and the golden sentence maker .
also used housekeeping skills in this movie. British mutual misfortune and cold humor can always hit your smile suddenly at a certain moment.
As a loyal fan of the drama version of "Downton Abbey", Uncle Yu has asked himself more than once: why this "soap opera" about the life of aristocrats that has been far away and has almost disappeared can be loved by thousands of audiences around the world? In other words, apply a common problem template- When we are talking about nobles, what are we talking about? Uncle fish previously introduced a documentary called "Billionaires' Gourmet Feast", in which the luxurious life of the rich really interprets what is called "Poverty limits imagination" .
Admittedly, they are rich enough.
But does anyone think they are aristocrats? I believe many people will put a big question mark on the answer to this question.
was a little confused and lost inexplicably. We can't help but miss the past and recall the imaginary "golden age" in .
And what is the thing worth remembering and being missed? Of course,
is definitely not the strict hierarchical order and hereditary feudal identity;
is hidden under the framework of order, veins flow with kind and warm value core. If goes back in time to verify, does it really exist, really as beautiful as depicted in the play? Hard to say. But precisely because this is a fictional drama, it gave a window to describe and reconstruct the ideal expectations of contemporary people.
What the audience likes is that exists in "Downton Abbey", but it has disappeared in reality . It is that even if it is getting worse and weaker, it is still trying to maintain the dignity and dignity of ; it is that even if the social status is high, it is still willing to treat people around him friendly and share the honor and disgrace. We loveYes, it is the eldest lady of Downton Abbey, the head of the family, Lady Mary, and the close maid Anna who have become close friends and talk about everything; it is the Lord Earl who rushes out of the house to work with the manservant on a rainy day.
Of course they don't have to do this, because they are nobles.
But they still choose to do it, also because they are nobles. The real value of this play lies not in the material wealth of the protagonists, but in their spiritual pursuit. In today's world, there are too many rich people who spend money. However, there are very few spiritual nobles.
There are bright skins all over the street, but most of them are empty.
In addition, in this series of episodes, the master upstairs is not the absolute protagonist. 's significant inscription on the servants' lives downstairs is also where the show/film stands out. The servants of
are definitely not numb and thin vassals, but also has its own love, hatred, joys and sorrows, and its own inheritance and transformation. They are also the protagonists in their own world. is even more dazzling.
The small Downton Abbey is the epitome of the entire British society, after the wheels of the Industrial Revolution and the beacon of the World War. The people of the manor have met the challenges time and time again, making the manor stand like a rock in the trend of history. Downton Abbey and the master servant in the manor are both witnesses and participants of the changes of the times.
is like the old butler at the end of the film said: "The king and queen are gone, but Downton is still there. Even in a hundred years, Downton will still be there." might say. Even if everyone in Downton will eventually die, the castle will be eroded by the weather. However, the spirit and temperament that Downton represents will last forever in people's hearts.
