Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
太好看了，平凡又不平凡的一群人，是很好的新年，易烊千玺厉害！文牧野厉害！
万里长城，山河大地，易烊千玺在火车上被罚站时看到的风景，就是烈士们前赴后继的理由。在和平的今天，骄傲而灿烂地活下去，不负被鲜血染红的五星红旗在万里山河烈烈地飘扬。
比我想象的好看很多 我很吃文牧野这套大时代背景下的小人物，本来看预告片听四字的气泡音准备活力吐槽来着，看了之后觉得还行……气泡音还是有，但是不影响观感
但凡多看兩部紀錄片也不至於⋯⋯槽點實在太多了 尤其這離譜至極的主角光環和主角加戲 原本可以很出彩的片段被一筆帶過 倒是給主角強行加了很多匪夷所思的戲份
这其实本质上是真人演绎的《长津湖》online实况。陈凯歌负责过场剧情，徐克负责美军设定，林超贤负责我军设定。只有最后雷公和杨根思的段落是属于影视剧的。这片子的主力受众是小时候被批评“成天玩游戏不好好学习，想想革命前辈是怎么牺牲自我争取今天的幸福的”，长大后有一定地位和话语权的中青年，通过此片可理直气壮地享受游戏感的满足。当然这个目的没问题，也值得花钱买票看，但“缅怀先烈”什么的就免了吧
野心不小”
药神班底，文牧野导演＋易烊千玺主演，值得期待。
刘秘书，你若没牺牲多好。人民万岁！！！回到这电影，给3星是终于正面点出了土地革命，以及没有抹黑刘秘书，扣2星是没有把早期志愿军仓促入朝，后勤没跟上的真正原因说出来-------因为张东荪你个狗公知卖国贼，把我军的情况告诉美国，导致我军不得不提前入朝，那么多战士活生生冻死了，而你却好好的，你的后代现在还不知羞耻过得好好的。。另外，胡军演得糟糕透了，演得不像战士，倒是像国民党的兵痞，角色是个好角色，奈何胡军演得根本不行。。
我相信奇迹，因为遇到过很多好人，半夜打车的司机开启的大灯照亮回家的路，暴雨中打不到车私家车搭载，工作中萍水相逢的人不求回报的帮助，工作宴请喝得烂醉被客户送到酒店，托付酒店服务员照看又给小费……说我幸运么，我也有在公交车上被人揩油，工作中被女领导PUA，被女同事们建群说闲话，被同事抢功劳，被男客户性骚扰……
坐在电影院里最多的感想就是“才歇了多久怎么又开始打了？！”可是转念一想又觉得非常震撼，这样直面炮火的生活，只是我在电影院里坐着的短短三个小时，却是志愿军们拿血肉筑起的长长三年。
可以感觉到文牧野蹑手蹑脚走钢丝般的“求稳”
整部电影像极了领导老板曾经给我们画过的大饼：虽然现在工资都不能按时发放，但股权激励、业绩指数级增长、火箭提拔，都是你们的，六年之后，走上人生巅峰，于是我们啃着手里的窝窝头，想着那鸡汤，很美，很鲜，那大饼，又大，又圆
一部看开头就能猜到过程和结尾的电影，但是不妨碍我哭啊。穷加病，那就是屋漏偏逢连夜雨，过程很现实，众生皆苦，有心想帮你的人往往自身都难保，不遇到坏人就该心存感激了。结尾太理想，哪有什么奇迹，都是努力血汗堆积出来的，哪有什么笨小孩，主角明明很聪明，有想法，你以为光努力就有500万，太多人努力一生，真的就只够活下去。
查了一下毛岸英确实是在轰炸中牺牲的，但只说是紧张工作中来不及撤退，而影片中改成了为了一张大尺寸地图，在明知道敌机马上要到的时候还是冲回去拿，尤其是安在毛岸英的身上，未免设计的过于愚蠢，简直是最没有必要的牺牲，甚至给人为了死而死的感觉。
这部片子可以说所有人都是他的打工仔，你永远可以相信兰晓龙
生活远比电影里演的更加艰难。既得利益者总是高傲地俯视着受苦受难的人，只有同样深陷泥沼的人才愿意伸出援手
真好，初一能看到这样的电影！
三个小时的电影，一点没感觉枯燥，反而觉得意犹未尽，每个演员演的都很到位！！！
春节一天假没放，终于开幕式顺利结束了，上头赏了我半天的假期。半天也做不了啥，想看个电影吧，首页铺天盖地都是这一部，没犹豫就选择看他。
易烊千玺太棒了，他有一种很强的控场能力，只要他出现，周身都带着强大的情绪气场，感染力十足，他的声音和表演能时刻牵动着观影的情绪，可能是源于他眼神里的专注吧，彻底被他圈粉了！文牧野导演的这部电影，给人的第一观感就是工整，极其工整，工业化完成度非常高，剧本、摄影、剪辑、音乐和表演等方方面面都能干净利落，不出错，很好的满足了你对他这第二部的超高预期。这部电影之后，感觉他可以开创一种属于他的电影风格，一种属于中国式的现实主义题材，拍大时代背景下的小人物，有着精细的时代细节，出彩的人物设计，直率的情绪表达，再加上正能量的人文关怀主题，一切都能调试到最佳状态。春节档的这部很适合全家欢一起看了，不血腥，不闹腾，不俗气，很感动！
