3. The screenplay of this film was adapted by emma thompson from the children's series "Nurse Matilda" by British novelist christianna brand. According to the legend handed down from generation to generation by the author's family, the novel tells the story of how an ugly nanny tames a stubborn child in a big family with magic. The simplicity, humor, obscurity and sweetness of the original work touched emma thompson, and she hit it off with Lindsay Doran.

The story of this film takes place in a small village around London from the late Victorian era to the early Edwardian era. The designer boldly adopted many bright colors, such as blue, green, red, purple and pink. The design of the Browns' house also draws lessons from the Gothic architectural styles of French colonial period and Victorian period.

The film was shot in Payne Manor in Buckinghamshire. The film crew built a big garden in the manor, planted hundreds of small trees, formed dense bushes, covered with thousands of flowers, and built tree houses, pig houses, chicken houses, pavilions and greenhouses. In Mr. and Mrs. Brown's room, all the props are carefully decorated, including exquisite wallpaper, exquisite cloth, furniture with the characteristics of the times and many other details. Mcphee took the children to the seaside in Elephant Trunk Hill, and the shooting equipment transported by helicopter alone weighed 6 tons.

6. The most important role in the film is emma thompson's nanny mcphee. The day after the film started, a strange woman appeared on the set. Her voice, tone and movements are exactly the same as those of mcphee in the script. She looked at the staff and stared at everything in front of her like an alien. Thompson, who is completely integrated into the role from appearance to temperament, makes people around her unrecognizable.
