Matthew once said to Mary, "My love for you grows day by day." He also said: "I never thought that I would be so happy with you." ”
I believe that matthew's love words to Mary are exactly what the audience wants to say to Matthew.
From some specific point of view, the horse is slender a bit like Leonardo, and it is exactly Leonardo who played "Titanic". The story is set in exactly the years after the wreck of the real Titanic, and this impression is easier reinforced by the consistency of the costumes.
A "Downton Abbey", can sweep the world, the charming Matthew is definitely a factor that can not be ignored. Like the Titanic that was all over the earth, without the handsome Leonardo, I doubt it could have reached that height.
I have a basis for saying this. Many people abandoned the show after Matthew's death, resulting in the ratings of the next three seasons of "Downton Abbey" being much worse than before.
Creating such a cute character recognized by the whole world is not an easy task, it requires favorable timing and place, and there is a certain element of incredible luck. Dan is also at the peak of his appearance when he plays "Sense and Sensibility"; Leonardo, who plays "The Eclipse of the Heart", is also very handsome; but they are "raised in the deep and unknown". Only when such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity appeared, and everything was just right, could they shine.
Leonardo has said that he can no longer be as popular as he was in Titanic, and I am afraid that Dan will face the same fate.
It's no exaggeration to say that when I saw Matthew die in a car accident at the end of the third season, I actually lost sleep for him that night.
I've seen a little spoiler before and know that eventually he died in a car accident. Therefore, from watching the first season, I was a little worried, afraid that he would leave after playing this season; later, when I saw that he was still staying well in the second season, I deepened my love for him at the same time, but also silently hoped in my heart that he would not leave; seeing that he was still alive in the third season, and in the third season, he and Mary lived a beautiful life like a prince and princess, how reluctant I was to let him leave. However, I have a strong sense of foreboding in my heart that he is bound to die in this season.
Because this season, when he returned from his honeymoon, he bought a car in London, which was a foreshadowing that could not be more obvious. And in the final episode, when Mary gives birth to a child and is admitted to the hospital, a family who rushes back from Ireland once said that after getting off the train, let Matthew drive back in his own car. I was afraid that he would not be able to see the baby, but fortunately, the benevolent screenwriter actually let him see his son for the first and last time. However, when Matthew is on his way back from the hospital to the manor, and the spring breeze triumphantly drives his car, this picture appears, I know that everything is over, and his end is coming...
Although I knew that sooner or later it would come, I still couldn't accept it in my heart! Such a handsome, elegant, noble, affectionate gentleman, his golden hair, his bright eyes like a cat's gray pupils, his magnetic soft voice, his smile, the tension between him and Mary, his everything, how beautiful and charming! Even the name Matthew became noble and beautiful because of him.
I lost sleep and grieve over his death. Reason told me that he and Mary had been so happy that the gods were jealous, and even if he didn't stay in the following seasons because his contract expired, how much drama in him could be excavated? However, emotion retorts that even so, as long as we see him, even if he can only be a vase, it is a kind of spiritual comfort for us!
Things that are very beautiful and pleasant to the body and mind, but suddenly, are destroyed, there is no more. This is undoubtedly the highest form of tragedy. Westerners are well aware of the shocking effects of tragedy, which are definitely several times stronger and more profound than comedy. Jack in "Titanic", if he does not die in the end, but has a lover who eventually becomes a family, it will instantly lower the style of the show and will also damage Leonardo's charm. I think that Matthew's sudden death also has this effect of strengthening charm. On the one hand, I have deep regrets, and on the other hand, I cherish his beauty even more, which is how I feel when I have insomnia.
True tragedy can always provoke this feeling in us, and it is difficult to let go for a long time.
