剧情介绍

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?

    这主题放19世纪晚期可能算新鲜吧.. 另外节奏太拖沓了

    20211009周六,国庆换休,周六上班。故事情节比较简单,护士长帮女主从疯人院逃出来,自己被当成疯子关进去,一换一的代价是不是大了点。

    电影开头对亲孙女米拉贝有偏见,甚至说出“你能帮的最大的忙就是站在一边”这种伤人的话。

    虽然技术方面还是没话说,可是内容也太普通了,完全无法共情,合集了很多没有记忆点的歌曲,60部纪念作也太差强人意了……比第50部的《魔发奇缘》还差了一个《寻梦环游记》。

    最近反映女权的电影不少,本片同时展示了西方世界的愚昧落后和女权的抗争,任何人在那个时代的欧洲估计不疯也要被逼疯。女主是不是能通灵不重要,而强大的父权社会和蛮荒的认知才是造成女主悲剧的最大原因,这和中世纪的灭巫运动如出一辙,而当年欧洲各国男人对女性尊严和人权的肆意践踏和侮辱现在看来简直令人发指,更别说那些与男人狼狈为奸共同欺压女性的同性别人群。如果女主没遇上尚有良知的护士长,也许和那个被所谓医学家们随意实验玩弄到肢体残疾的病友一样结局悲惨。最后的舞会是最耀眼的桥段,疯人和正常人完全迷乱,护士长牺牲自我让女主真正成为自由的女性更值得大书特书,毕竟在体制内的人能和少数人一道反抗禁锢难能可贵。全片节奏不错,层层递进推向高潮,其中服化道相当还原,特别是欧洲女人的各式服装简直不要太到位。

    最後應該結束在沒有魔法的時候,魔法回歸真是太俗套了⋯⋯

    回顾今日,对女性隐性的压迫并未消失,依然存在社会的各个方面,并不为人觉,甚至更可悲的是更多的女性选择了沉默,转而成为压迫者的“帮凶”。

    女巫: 巫师多数是女性,女性被排除在宗教权力体系的外头,神职人员都是男性,女性要搞神神鬼鬼的东西,没有正规渠道。

  • 泽初 7小时前 :

    基本的都能看懂,我是觉得那个男的应该是被逼疯的,若不是真的喜欢不至于很久都没下手,若不是真的喜欢那女的变残疾了还想和她做,或许是那里面男的才是真的变态,舞会上那个女的啥样还去舔别人手,属实恶心。看不懂这点,背景搞的太压抑了,有些细节确实不太明白。

    我的梅拉尼女神自导自演的第一部影片,很棒!!一刚开始觉得节奏有点慢,后来就慢慢进入状态了,女主演技很好,看见鬼就是疯女子,看见神就是显灵,男权社会的双标尽数体现

  • 舒飞跃 7小时前 :

    这个故事好奇怪啊,到底是要魔法还是不要魔法啊??但美术还是绝美,音乐也好。

  • 雪锦 9小时前 :

    主意被繁复的细节给掩盖了导致略有点跑题 本讲的是父权社会对于女性的训诫,不愿服从的女人被污名化为疯女人,进而沦落为男人的妓女。如果这样只能说是一部纪录片而不是剧情片,主题还要好好提炼才行
