A few years ago, in a « dollar sale », I found a BlueRay of a movie called « Downtown Abbey ».
The artwork really pleased me so I took it (I needed one more disc for a rounded lower price).
I was stupefied how much I loved that: esthetics, scenario, realistic social views… Then I learned that it was created by Julian Fellowes, the one who got a well-desserved Academy Awards for the Stupendous « Gosford Park » (yes, sometimes, these are desserved, unless this is a Shoah movie or you are Ukrainian, like nowadays).
I could easily find the complete series of « Downtown Abbey » on DVD and enjoyed every bit of it.
Why?
Because it depicts a beautiful universe in which there’s no class war: the noble need their people to thrive and everyone help each other through the whole series.
Yes, Mary is promiscuous with men, but she doesn’t lie about getting engaged or even loving them, and she actually settles with the men she loves. Except when she’s mourning her lost first husband, she’s also a caring Mum.
In these series, there are strong ethics which ressemble the civilisation which collapse we witness. This shows us what we actually are losing to unshowered Pantifas and blue haired Xirs.
I guess the right attitude to adopt nowadays is to assume one’s role whatever the personal cost and keep a stiff upper lip whatever occurs: be a real virtuous example in a word of copycat virtue signalers.
I have not seen the 2nd movie yet. I have to wait until its BR lands in my « dollar store ». I am not in a hurry.
