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?
剧情没什么新意，但是对于一个好久不度假的人来说，被带着环美国还是很惬意的。I will survive那里好好笑。
就凭这黑白的肤色，也绝对是爸爸妈妈亲生的好不好
8.1 之前看到朋友在学clint eastwood电影中的masculinity，那么本片恰恰是对其身上种种男性符号的回望与反思。年老的牛仔不再是任何一人的white savior，他只是一个身处异地的美国佬，一个动物的亲好者，一个真正的朋友。只有这般的去戏剧化，我们才能感知到东木的真实意图:这个时代不再需要macho了，而是需要更多的爱与哭泣。
美墨边境风光养眼，东木老爷看起来身体状态也不错，就是剧作没有最大化利用好创意，太过依赖对白而缺少画面的动态；情节的设计也缺点意思，比如那只公鸡原本可以更多参与到故事中来。
2、真正的勇敢，是忠于自己的内心，是直面惨淡的命运，是不断地做出选择，是义无反顾的担当，更是发自内心的善良。东木90岁了，可他还在拍着电影、谈着恋爱，还在关心着这个时代和孩子们，在我看来，这就是真正的勇敢，真正的Macho。
但我不会治愈“衰老”//多么温柔的东木啊 老去的牛仔依然顽固但好柔软
最好笑的地方大概是，我看的这个字幕组把Morticia的名字翻译成了卡拉米亚·莫迪西亚，因为Gomez一直称呼Morticia为cara mia。
3.0
溫柔得像童話，全程捏把汗會發生點什麼。I used to be a lot of things
应该叫“曾经哭泣的男人”吧，毕竟结局这么幸福。看片名还以为是个悲剧，结果结局还挺不错的，除了小孩跟他爹生活无法预知好坏之外。好消息是老东木91岁了仍然能自导自演，看起来身体不错。坏消息是骑马的镜头已经不得不使用替身了，也许还能骑吧，不过还是不要冒险的好。剧情不复杂，少了很多打打杀杀和爱恨情仇。老牛仔也有力不能及之时，不能管就不管了，爱咋咋地吧，去寻找自己的幸福也挺好。拯救不了别人，还可以拯救自己。勇敢和温柔全在回忆和配乐里。
星期三以为自己不是亲生的女儿拜托，你真的想太多ヽ（・＿・；)ノ。全家欢乐喜剧人大碰撞简直不要太可爱。
感觉剧情矫揉造作、无痛呻吟，可能这是妹子青春期的叛逆吧……家人们并不出彩。打发时间可以看看。
剧作水平也就和骡子差不多了 找小男孩的故事也很老套 不如说去墨西哥找鸡可能还更有趣 但真是温情得要命啊 暮年回顾一生 还是想要回归家庭 当东木借着角色的口说出I don't know how to cure old 我是真的有泪目
说实话真人版和1在我心中的评价很高，所以带着期待来看2…结果有点失望。一直看到最后也没弄懂想表达什么。就是想替Wednesday找回自己？本来想说这部更像给小朋友看的动漫的感觉，但是仔细想想台词小朋友又不一定能看懂…
更多的意义在于纪录吧，以后分析东木的专题片里肯定无限和《荒野大镖客》闪回交错出现。
星期三是超级聪明，冷酷的天才少女。普格斯利是搞笑笨蛋加爆破狂人。
虽然大章鱼斗野鸡有点离谱 但是好可爱woooooooo
3.5 - 该是一部浪漫主义的片儿啊 - 牛仔/迟暮/际遇，略显刻意的冲突，可以看出老派的导演/呈现方式。一种随心所欲心不在焉的表述，也可能是风格使然，所以不强求逻辑/主线，适合去感受影片的情绪。画面，声效，音乐的处理还是成熟的，但是前半段的明暗一直让我怀疑自己的视力。。。或许是最近暗房呆太久的缘故。
本来吧，西部，老少配，公路还有马，都是喜欢的能出彩的因素。可惜没听见响儿。
终究比第一部差一点，最后结尾稍微肉麻了些，其他部分都很好，还是希望能有下一部
