By the time the Downton Abbey Movie is over, the residents of the great house in Yorkshire are on the cusp of more major changes. The film continues the theme of Downton Abbey the series, which is about the Crawley family embracing change and progress and adjusting to the inevitable forward march of time, while still finding a way to maintain Downton's glory. Here are all of the major events of Downton Abbey Movie's ending and what they entail for a possible Downton Abbey Movie 2.
In the Downton Abbey movie, Anna and Mr. Bates spearheaded a complex scheme to turn the tables on the Royal Household that even Mr. Carson, the Butler (Jim Carter), went along with to defend the honor of Downton. First, Anna placed a double dose of sleeping potion in the tea of Monsieur Courbet, the snooty Royal Chef - this knocked him out for the entire evening and allowed Mrs. Patmore (Lesley Nicol) to cook the meal for the Royal Family. Next, Thomas Barrow, Downton's under butler (Robert James-Collier) recruited his new friend Richard Ellis, the King's valet (Max Brown) to call Mr. Wilson and give false orders to send the Royal Footmen back to Buckingham Palace. Next, Mrs. Patmore 'mistakenly' spilled sauce on Mr. Wilson; while he was in his room to change his clothes, Andy the footman (Michael Fox) locked him in his room for the night. Finally, Mrs. Hughes (Phyllis Logan) ordered the Royal Housemaid Mrs. Webb (Richenda Carey) to stand down since it was now Downton's staff serving the dinner.
With the Royal Staff out of the way, Carson led Downton's footmen, including Andy and Mr. Molesley (Kevin Doyle) into the dining room to serve dinner. However, when the King and Queen offered their compliments to Mr. Courbet, Molesley shocked everyone by announcing that Mrs. Patmore cooked the meal and Downton's staff was serving it. Luckily for Molesley, the Queen generously gave Mrs. Patmore her compliments instead, forgiving Molesley's behavior and noting the monarchs are "used to people acting strangely" around them. The next morning at breakfast, Carson played mind games with Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Webb, and Monsieur Corbet, inviting them not to mention what happened to spare themselves embarrassment.
Anna also solved another mystery: why were precious items disappearing all over Downton Abbey? She correctly deduced that Miss Lawton, the Queen's Royal Dresser (Susan Lynch) was stealing from the house. Anna blackmailed Miss Lawton to re-size Edith's ball gown in exchange for not exposing her crimes. Finally, while the dinner was going on, Barrow was arrested visiting a gay night club called the Turton but he was bailed out by Mr. Ellis, who revealed he's also secretly gay. They promised to remain friends after Ellis returned to London. By Downton Abbey Movie's ending, Downton's staff successfully put their house's best foot forward to the Royal Family and Carson returned to retirement, accompanied by his wife Mrs. Hughes.
小编点评：电影《唐顿庄园》的核心是皇室的造访给庄园带来的连锁反应，将呈现更具戏剧张力的故事。最新片段中，傲慢的皇室管家让唐顿家仆们感受到挑衅和蔑视，双方一时间剑拔弩张。与剧版一脉相承的是，影片不只聚焦在将与国王夫妇见面的伯爵一家身上，“楼下”的故事同样精彩生动。下面再附上一段外国影评妹子对唐顿庄园电影版的英文原声评论。（需要字幕的版本，请回复此贴，或给我发站内短消息。）
