荣耀三九年

这个应该定位于惊悚悬疑电影 涉及政治阴谋 看封面剧照词条啥的我以为这是个二战爱情电影呢 前半部分看起来挺正常 优美的英国田园风光 幸福和谐的贵族一家人 女主也有一个英俊潇洒的爱人 甚至有些无聊 当我以为要开始重点讲爱情了 结果画风从抱孩子哪里开始变得恐怖 然后事情越来越变得惊悚吓人 真相越来越扑朔迷离 那种压抑感一点点累积真的很难受

女主好惨 不是亲生的终究不是一家人 小雀斑和那个姨妈的一些话 看似彬彬有礼非常正常 比如吉普赛女儿 刮鞋子泥土啥的 孩子丢了 那些人一个个说她出了问题 这些话其实其实诛心于无形 包括好几次都是让她读书 读书也挺累人的 女主也没抱怨什么 大家氛围也挺和谐 这些点看似没什么 实则悄悄的埋下了伏笔 一家人就让她当演员 关于家族正在密谋参与的事业却不让她接触一点 打心眼里就没看起她把她当一家人 其实告诉她又何妨呢 她未必不会跟家人站在一起 她又不是什么丘吉尔支持者 没什么太多政治立场 可是这家人就是不告诉她 包括前面姨妈走掉留她一个人看孩子 仆人突然推门把谍打碎 姨妈不让她一个人听留声机 这些前面疑惑的点到后面似乎有了合理解释 并不是我感觉错了 而是这些就是刻意为之 太吓人 这个家所有人都在监视她 拿她当外人 她还傻傻的仅仅怀疑弟弟一人 殊不知所有人都背叛了她

唉 太惨了 女主就是小男孩那句话他们根本不爱你 最后一点安慰就是女主角还活着还很长寿 一直还想着另一种可能是不是女主真的精神有病臆想了家族欺骗囚禁她的那些事 可是最后结尾女主出现告诉我们这一切就是真的 也就是说那个前来拜访的男孩从女主那儿得知故事又来求证两位老人 说明这一切就是真实发生的 总体感觉这个故事真的很吓人 像是我内心深处最恐怖的梦 你以为家人父母都是你最亲近最值得信赖的人 没想到到头来他们的糖里都带毒 他们从来没爱过你 你只是用来消遣的宠物 随时都可以被抛弃被处死 跟那些猫没什么区别 在那些贵族眼里 女主这个吉普赛人没有他们的血统就是局外人 这个故事里看似最关心女主的父亲其实是最大的幕后boss 一次次的用温柔关怀的语言欺骗女主 而对女主最好的竟然是一个仅仅见过几次的小男孩和一直整理花园不怎么和她说话的妈妈 真是细思极恐 平时对你最关怀跟你相处最多的人反而欺骗背叛你最深 反而看似不正常的妈妈和行为怪异小男孩反而对你最好最关心 这个故事真的太恐怖了

英国社文课的一次作业

The main story is set in the year before World War II, drew out by the narration of an old man who is a relative of the heroin Anne and who at that time was a little boy.

Anne was an adopted child of an aristocrat family. She was a popular actress before the War started. Her father Alexander and brother Ralph were all working for the government. The family seems to live a tranquil and idyllic life. However, after the death of an old friend of the family, the peace life was gone forever. Anne accidentally found a record which contained the evidence that Alexander and Ralph were arranging an action to assassinate their political opponents in order to keep Britain out of the war. And she later found out that whoever knew about the existence of this record was killed or commit suicide. Trying to dig out the truth, she met with strong resistance. And eventually, as she was getting closer to the truth, the family grounded her in a country villa. Being secretly released by her mother, Anne chose to leave the family forever.

The movie presents three common attitudes the British people held towards war.

One is represented by the father who had gone through the World War I. They had seen the cruelty of war and chose to do their best to keep the peace, even at the cost of that the Britain might be Nazified although they did not approve Nazism. From today’s perspective, their approach was least inadvisable, but this judgment is based on one premise that we already knew the course of history. Although the policy of appeasement is doomed to fail, this attitude still enjoyed great popularity before the war broke out. Because it not only corresponded to the country’s inherently conservative bias but also met people’s requirements of avoiding mass casualties. No wonder why the father in the movie, together with the whole family, would resort to extreme measures to stop Anne. Objectively speaking, Prime Minister Chamberlain’s appeasement policy was not useless at all for it bought Mr. Chamberlain some time for updating the Air Force and the defense radar system, which set the foundation for the Churchill government.

The second attitude is represented by Anne and Hector in the movie, and Winston Churchill in reality. On the one hand, Anne was driven by her sense of justice that people should never commit atrocity even it is for the interests of the country. On the other hand, she did realize that blindly making compromise to Germany was in vain.

The last one is represented by the mother, an inconspicuous member of the family. Compared to her husband and children, she showed little enthusiasm in politics and stayed out of the whole action towards Anne. Every time she appeared on the scene, she was doing gardening. Let things drift if they do not affect one personally. This is also a feasible way to save oneself during the war time, but it is the most passive method among the three.

I think the director shows clearly in the story which attitude he favors. In the end, all the other family members died. Except Walter and his brother who was just a baby when things happened, Anne was the only one survived, which symbolizes the victory of bravery and justice.
