A sense of history
"A sense of history" is a parody of upper-class life about a British aristocrat. The film was set in 1992 in the Highdere Castle, Hampshire. The director was Mike Leigh who directed other films for example "Five Senses". The star of the film Jim Broadbent was also responsible for the script. The 23rd Earl of Leete, a very British and eccentric landowner takes us on a tour of his estate and tells us of the progress of over 900 years of family history. The Earl describes in detail the killing of his brother, drowning his first wife and his two sons who were witnesses of his crime. As we listen to the story we discovered in spite of his new family he is a lonely man who lives with the emotional baggage of his past. Through a mixture of tragedy and comedy the film seems to convey a message that life can be terrible when people are greedy for material things, like in "A sense of history" huge land. This attitude will make you lonely and selfish. This film would be appreciated by people who like parodies and have a black sense of humor.
