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?
不就是欧美版《罗生门》吗。但是每个人的描述区别不大呀。大量的重复好无聊。
老雷和历史题材最配。从朱迪科莫的视角段落这部电影才真正开始。
不需要看剧情，看画面，看风景，看室内装饰，装修了。
讲述视角很不错，最赞的是女主视角，完全是不断被艹的生育工具。老公只爱荣誉面子，最后大腿被刺伤，咱先抢救下再游街好嘛！亚当司机承包了所有直男癌的通病：啊，我真的太帅了！那个少妇又喜欢上我了！怎么办，我要不要临幸她？！
没孩子的时候什么都不怕，有了孩子反而接受了不公的世道。丈夫打败了强奸者，朱迪科默眼里的层次，足够女演员学个十年八年了。
居然是一个女性故事，第三个视角是精髓，雷导有大格局。
boring 难怪票房不好。我要是制片人打死都不会投这种片。
坚韧 理智
从剧作到技法都比较陈旧，但观赏性还是足够。
看完又想起这段话：We meet today. We will meet again tomorrow. We will meet at the source at every moment. We meet each other in all forms of life.(Thích Nhất Hạnh) 生命不止限于现在的形式。从这个角度来说，我希望人人都能学会通灵，这样就不会狭隘到以为只有拥有物质身体才算活着。
是一代影后的气势
却只是奉献了一场生死决斗的戏给围观群众
史诗。法国版罗生门。但是选角有问题啊，男二不能找个帅点的吗，ross一样，让女人说英俊，不违心吗。很短的几个战斗场面，服饰、武器、动作、效果，无比精良。叙述本身，三个视角，对比强烈，感触良多。每个人都生活在自己的世界里，同一件事，看到听到记忆的都如此不同。都感觉自己付出很多、成就很多、品格高尚弱化缺点。直男癌整天征战、利益、后嗣，性生活两分钟粗暴结束还问女的愉悦吗，那年代的共识，女的愉悦才能受孕，强奸不会怀孕。也难怪妻子受冷落不被理解细腻的心思无所寄托。那整天跟着上司群p的，一贯来硬的，认为说no是淑女的行为方式，并不是拒绝。女性视角明显细腻很多，偏感受。那个年代，不说决斗裁判这种sb行为了，女的是男的财产，没有法律权利。老夫人都说自己曾被强奸，so what，活着才重要，什么年代啊。
唯有爱是永恒
很多电影都对克隆人做过预言和探讨，但随着热度退去，已经很长时间没有出现优秀的探讨克隆人的电影了，直到今年的这部——《天鹅挽歌》。
但是生活并不是如此
7.5，算是很好的情绪类电影，只不过有些类型元素插入的莫名其妙，又惊悚又悬疑的。当陌生人旁观自己的生活，回溯记忆去告别，个中滋味只有自己知道。
"I say before all of you, I spoke the truth!"
又看了一遍，如果杰克后来发现，妻子也是备份的…。片子不是硬科幻但是情感推动精致细腻，结果并不重要，重要的是观看过程中引起的思考，如果是你又会如果选择，如果你是主角的家人如何接受和难过。
没孩子的时候什么都不怕，有了孩子反而接受了不公的世道。丈夫打败了强奸者，朱迪科默眼里的层次，足够女演员学个十年八年了。
