Downtown Abbey: The Movie
british television, where the two most interesting characters are Thomas and Tom
DOWNTON ABBEY STAN AND PROUD I LOVE THESE DORKS WITH ALL THEIR FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS 💖💓💞💝💘💕
it’s actually shameful how attached i am to these characters when if i actually met someone with their morals and beliefs i would probably fight them irl
An airy, apolitical costume pageant for all ages, or a terrifying illustration of Stockholm Syndrome borne of class and labor oppression, epitomized by the central conflict involving two sets of servants conniving to wait on some monarchs? You make the call!
the klepto seamstress was the real hero here. imagine having to be around this many wealthy british people all day every day and not taking a few souvenirs like. mama was just collecting tips
“Did the general strike effect you?”
“My maid was rather curt with me – but she’s a communist at heart”
This is a film in which a former Irish revolutionary makes amends for his prior wrongdoings by turning in an anti-royalist insurgent who is plotting to assassinate the king. Epochal conflicts (the Irish struggle for independence, the Boer war, the 1926 General strike) are treated as minor footnotes which temporarily inconvenience our obscenely wealthy protagonists before the status quo can be resumed and they can focus on the things that truly matter: a dispute over an inheritance; socially advantageous marriage arrangements; the logistics of throwing a ball so lavish that it will put all other aristocratic families to shame. In…
Mr. Molesley getting the biggest laugh in the movie.....I say that’s my baby and I’m really proud
me, blasting into the screening room full of elderly white people: hi not a monarchist i'm only here to support my gay bitch thomas barrow
“Do you know the French film The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie? When I first heard that title I thought finally someone’s gonna tell the truth about the bourgeoisie. What a disappointment. It would be hard to imagine a less fair or accurate portrait.”
Uphold the status quo on the off chance that it will one day favour you, and if it doesn't then maybe you didn't deserve it in the first place. When I die and go to Hell this putrid Brexit wank fantasy is going to be playing on loop.
Oh my, the nostalgia!
It takes me back to that day back in 2012 when Melbourne had that earthquake. I felt the rumble while watching the Downton Abbey TV series during an intense war scene. Good times.
Julian Fellows DESPERATELY needs a co-writer to remind him how to shape drama
Downton Abbey ist ein weiterer Abschluss der Serie, den es aber eigentlich nicht gebraucht hätte. Anders als zum Beispiel bei El Camino hatten alle Hauptfiguren ihr Happy-End. Oder zumindest war das weitere Leben vorgezeichnet.
Tatsächlich fühlt sich der Film mehr nach Fanservice als nach notwendiger Weiterführung an. Zu viel wird reingepresst, Figuren nur zurückgeholt um andere Figuren zu verprellen, Wichtiges zu kurz behandelt, Unwichtiges zu lange ausgeführt - Als Teil der Serie würden die [in dem Fall] zwei Folgen zu den schlechteren Folgen gehören. Und kein gutes Ende liefern. Als Film ist es zu sehr Fanservice um wirklich gut zu sein.

Downton Abbey is another conclusion to the series, but one that really wasn't necessary. In contrast to El…
The challenge with this movie was fitting in all prior characters and their relationships to each other, and in that it mostly succeeds. But the introduction of so many new characters for a little bit of shenanigans means less screentime for the existing developments from the TV show. As well as running the ensemble to well over 50+ players. It's sort of difficult to rate on its own without factoring in all the preceding events that led to these moments. But as a capstone to an immersive and entertaining series it was a welcome return.
Pandemic life... rewatching all six season and the movie for the inter three time. Can’t get enough of this opulent and dramatic lifestyle ;)
They say if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and so they don't in this feature length cinematic release of the now finished-on-TV-at-least series, and what better justification for this than to indulge the very British/Anglophilic audience with a Royal visit to the Crawley Estate. Much like doing a back-to-back binge of 3 special Christmas episodes, Julian Fellowes's almost Altman-esque script, with intercutting storylines flowing from how this special visit affects everyone at Downton, is like a soapier version of Gosford Park, except its drama is gentle and the threats are mild as Chamomile. Director Michael Engler's idea of cinematic is mostly grand aerial shot of the Estate and the only noticeable differences are the higher production values, more extras…
Day Thirteen (and a half)
I came home from my late shift to find my mom watching this. I am ambivalent to Downton Abbey, as I was forced through watching this show, and was forced to see this movie (twice).
This doesn't fit this week's theme but I did watch it so here we are. I did actually watch a feature length today.
Week One
Day One - My Big Fat Greek Wedding | Day Two - 22 vs. Earth | Day Three - Sabrina (1995) | Day Four - Rogue One | Day Five - Heartburn | Day Six - Cow Belles | Day Seven - Emma.(2020)
Week Two
Day Eight - Wild Mountain Thyme | Day Nine - Ocean's Thirteen | Day Ten - Hello, Dolly | Day Eleven - Another Round | Day Twelve - Tootsie | Day Thirteen - Mike's New Car |
Havde jeg ikke set serien havde jeg ikke givet den så mange stjerner. Det giver jeg den alene fordi jeg elsker ekstra materiale til den formidable serie som jeg giver 5/5 stjerner.
