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?
游牧民从不说再见，只说我们路上见。我们不是无家可归，只是无房可归。
我记得看的时候有些害怕，好像看到了未来的自己。但同时也意识到自己并不具备如此活下来的技能。
虽然周围人都抱以不屑，但我认为是不错的。摒弃戏剧性，大量呈现状态，国外是认可这种路线的，然而国内只认戏剧性，总在找冲突找人物关系找动作，对电影的理解未免有点太呆板狭隘了。
剪辑还蛮有灵气的，风景和配乐都不错，只是剧情推动和一些关键点的设定稍显刻意，后半部分不如前半部分好。
赵婷只是如所有abc和久居欧美发达国家的亚裔一般，在努力地用文化认可和地域认可来增加自己的归属感罢了。
We all die alone, but it's ok, cuz I'll see you down the road, dad.
本来以为奖项作品不是我的口味，看完很喜欢。哲学家柏林对我们的贡献之一是把自由分成两块，积极的自由（free to）跟消极的自由(free from），电影里看似逃离实则反叛，即能不被裹挟，又抵达成全各种自己想成为的自由。劳动本应该是人实现意义的选择，却被消费主义异化成通往奴役之路，只有下班后的生活才有片刻的自由（free from）。电影冷峻的描述了无产阶级精神层面难以被资本驯服的高亢。Being human means yearning for more than subsistance.As much as food or shelter,we require hope. | Hulu
两次泪崩。。一次是看到Swankie发来燕子满天飞的视频。。一次是see you down the road。。一路的悲伤和执着。。看完内心满满的。。他们这些人。。看似游离在荒野。。却恰恰是最难以割舍情感的。。导演大赞。。嫂子大赞。。镜头大赞。。配乐大赞。。
去看看美好的东西吧，去世界尽头，去看雁群，去看孤独，人类可以选择孤独，有些力量比逃避孤独的愿望更加强烈。被荒芜笼罩、无枝可依，但是还是走吧，走吧，往前走吧。“这些孤独最终会与你们产生联结”
平静、冷淡、萧瑟、隽永。
感恩这是开启2021的第1部电影。配乐有时很贴合，有些时候有点满。和前作《骑士》一脉相承的摄影太棒了，如麦克多蒙德所说“摄影机注视我的脸，像是在看一座国家公园”。轻描淡写下大象无形，无依者晚年困境，充满哀伤和温情。无论前路何方，nomad不讲最后的告别，只说see you down the road。
想到了之前报道的开车离家的中国大妈，都觉的她开车驶向自由，可一路上在哪里如厕？停车时候会不会被驱赶？天冷的时候怎么办？抛锚在人迹罕至的地方谁去搭救？就像片尾致敬的那样，她不是兴高采烈地驾驶出行，而是不得不上路。愿每一个不得不远行的人平安，能遇到为你向火里投石的朋友。
Victim of capitalism and intrepid pioneer of a second life. Non-actors convincing. Celebration of wide open spaces, hard labor, a way of life born out of necessity but full of optimism.
3.5。前十五分钟可以，后面感觉就是重复...
平静、冷淡、萧瑟、隽永。
二刷之后，还是一样，后半段没办法看完，8倍速结束了。让人犯困的旅程，现在是真的，平铺直叙的流水账可以叫隐忍克制的处理，配上钢琴和各种孤独的背影，深邃的眼神，好文艺好高级，不拿奖岂不是显得评委没水平？皇帝的新衣就这样来的。穿着新衣，我们路上见。🙄
"Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century"，早上起来看到国会山之火时，看完了这部片子。
纹身时看了一半，回家看完另一边，怎么说呢，自己飘了，我怎么感觉这水平我也能拍出来（不是）……拉踩——同题作文我还是宁愿去看肯洛奇
首周末票房：50万
自己把日子过好就完事了，没有必要去judge别人的生活方式。总觉得现在的一众“高新产业园”就是数字时代的恩派尔/东北工业区，成于需求也死于需求。Ps.workhorse还是可以做选择的，而韭菜只能被割……选词精准
