Outwardly, the Dowager Countess was seen as so old-fashioned and conservative, but when there was a crisis (especially regarding her granddaughters!), she was rather progressive and was the person who saved the day, working quietly behind the scenes. Maggie Smith brought such wit to the role. If you ever get the chance to see her in the 1968 comedy "Hot Millions", you'll see how great she is doing comedy.

@@phaerion9142 She was clearly very progressive for the time period, she accepted and even encouraged change in many instances. Being progressive doesn't have anything to do with 'love' of the past but rather a willingness to embrace change (the opposite of CONSERVative).

@@phaerion9142 I've turned nothing around. A progressive is somebody who embraces progress and change, that's it. The motives are neither here nor there. She was a progressive for her time. Just as the founding fathers of the USA were progressive for their time. You are terribly uneducated as you seem to have misconception that being "progressive" or "conservative" are static concepts - they're not they are relativist terms that depend on the context in which they are used. What was progressive 100 years ago is not necessarily so today. "progressives do progressive stuff for the sake of progress" - this is just nonsense, I'd advise you to enrol on a political science course at the open university or equivalent.

When I first watched Downton, I thought Mary was the protagonist and disliked Edith for her childish rivalry with her. When I watched it again, I felt Mary was an entitled brat too much like her father but without his compassion and Edith was the real sympathetic core of the show. Several years on, I now recognize that the Dowager Countess is the true protagonist and her love for her family and legacy were the central part of the show.

I'm Brazilian so I can't watch the series. I came across with it because I was watching other videos with Maggie. I can't stop watching it. She is amazing. I think I'll rewatch "The Lady in the Van".

@HeartofFlame
@HeartofFlame 4 года назад
Quarantine isn’t a new practice, that’s for sure. I think it dates back to the 14th century or something. Did that episode happen before the start of WWII?? The world has just come out of the worst Pandemic it had seen in 1918-1919. So I wonder if it was related to that.

@@HeartofFlame I think it originated during the Black Death. There was a practice of ships being forced to stay off shore and people being confined in rooms for 40 days. Hence the term quarantine ( French for 4 is quatre, 40 is quatorze but I don't think quarantine came from French but from another similar language )

“I won’t take sides but I don’t think I can ever be described as neutral” is such a good line. It’s so black and white these days and the minute you declare an opinion you’re ‘against us’ these days. How often is it narrow minded of people to have ‘sides’ when you can have an opinion while not taking any side. We ought to be tolerant and clear headed

"Tolerance is the last virtue of a dying society. Apathy is the vice that kills it." It's a fine line between tolerance and tolerance. Learn to know the difference.

I almost feel like that last line "I doubt they were aiming it at you" was improvised on the spot. It's so catty and perfectly delivered, it seems too good to have been scripted and rehearsed.
