Veradrake, Veradrake (2004)

Willa Drake (Staunton)' s job is to help others have abortions, but her views and practices are in great conflict with the society at that time-Britain in the 1950s, which led to a series of tragedies in her family. The film describes a little-known side of a woman. On the one hand, she devoted herself selflessly to her family, which is an ordinary working-class family, but she loves it very much. She spends a lot of time taking care of her sick neighbors and elderly mother every day. But at the same time, she secretly visited some women.

Mike leigh, a British director who calls himself "a Bohemian between the suburban middle class and anarchism", put an ordinary story into the conflict of various topics about life and choice this time. With his consistent realistic style and calm lens, he brought the plot into the gloomy and depressing environment of the 1950s just after World War II. The technique and structure of this film are traditional, or the technique he has always used, which enters a relatively subjective reality from an objective perspective, but it complements the whole story. There are not too many dramatic scenes, but the dramatic tension has been hidden in the plain style.

Singing and Playing Topsy Terry (1999)

In the history of world music, there have been several pairs of unparalleled songwriters, such as Mozart and da Pang Di, Rogers and Hammerstein. A hundred years ago, Gilbert, a lyricist on the stage of British operetta, and Sullivan, a composer, were also golden partners. This film does not completely describe the whole process of life or cooperation between the lyricist Gilbert and the composer Sullivan, but intercepts the cross section of their classic operetta Micardo, which shows that talented artists can only spark if they collide with each other.

This movie is a costume movie set in19th century. The luxurious opera house and a pair of opera composers and lyricists are the best partners, making the film a full-length play on the stage, which is amazing. The film is humorous and rich in details, which is of great appreciation value to music and drama lovers. If Shakespeare's love story had not been upstaged by the same theme and style, its influence would have been even greater.
