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?
「明明大家都慢慢长大，就只有我们保持不变 重点不是去哪，而是和谁一起去 你的身体也充满了尚未成佛的词语 真的很普通」全片最喜欢坐车去旅行的那段。还有，伊藤沙莉真的被小看了，希望有一天她能拿大奖。
但也确实是文字先行了，很容易感受只是扁皮，尤其是倒叙结构最后被破坏。可以说是各种回忆的叙述方式都存在了。镜头语言和音乐也有滥用。时间感的处理也有点不明显。
可能因為是同個男主角，看的時候總想起《苦役列車》。
有点梦想，有点普通，又有点不一样，不就是你我。
我们无法成为大人 和 我们都…大人，分不清哪一种选择更勇敢，有点心疼 有点堵……
激起的回忆杀是抄歌词，借磁带，录电台节目，和喜欢的男生一起听完新专辑猜对方最喜欢的的歌，还有第一次拥有walkman的激动。
无用镜头太多 好在摄影还不错。
日本确实很喜欢拍这一类恬淡风格的作品，很多人拿这部和花束比较，个人觉得花束会好很多。也许是零碎的倒叙剪辑，让我出神了。
没看下去，前面的故事太琐碎，连贯性不强，看了20分钟好像还没进入主题，只看到男主颓丧的后来，电影色调暗暗的给人压抑的感觉，实在没有动力继续看下去看到电影想要折射的社会哲理，已弃。
从现在的角度一步步回看从前，阐述了“我们是怎样变成今天的我们”，也曾经想过穿上披风去做超级英雄，长大却不得不接受成为普通人的现实，比起从一开始讲如何走到现在，回头看反而更让人觉得心酸，年轻真好
前面平到三星的观感，但色调好看，女主可爱，末段也骤然升华了。
在社畜这条路上走了好久，我迷失在了长大的路上。现在的我真的是我想要成为的我吗？
太一般了 特别东出昌大是重要角色的情况下 看得糟心 总觉得这个剧情没必要倒叙 以及森山未来感觉演这个太大材小用了 伊藤沙莉真的也不太适合…………千言万语 casting的错！
只是觉得对自己还不够满意，其实活在当下就好了。
虽然有很多我想说的话，关于无法成为大人，关于太普通了，关于成佛的文字。但拍的不喜欢，丧的又不彻底，快乐的回忆也快乐不起来，最来电的反倒是醉后一夜情的俩人，越往后看越难受。
好久没看过这么可爱的电影了，各方各面都好可爱，我好喜欢💕彗星好好听！
前半段昏昏欲睡 后面青春爱情开始有趣 结尾的奔跑和回忆杀不错。导演很细腻，但节奏有点太缓慢了。
给颓丧男拍的电影吧 好讨厌这种男的 偏弱向 文艺敏感的气质 容易被诱惑 没有稳定的爱 自身没有能量给予 我以前会被游离于世俗的男性身上的颓丧气质吸引 现在只剩警惕和厌恶 而且这个电影好男性视角，totally can’t love it
Sometimes I also feel overwhelmed when thinking about people in the past. PS 大岛优子好美啊
我在高兴时，会觉得很难过。
