Just now, I was watching the next movie that I discovered by chance on wowow.
On Sunday, I stumbled upon the latest adaptation of Little Women and watched it.
Since Hollywood started to flirt with China, I hardly watch any Hollywood-American movies anymore.
I used to watch the Oscars broadcast live on wowow every year without fail, but I stopped doing that.
I think a long time has passed since then.
The first two movies, especially the one below, were just that: movies.
I was thinking, "Britain is still alive," as I watched them.

Downton Abbey Theatrical release date: January 10, 2020
It is a film adaptation of the famous British drama that won the Golden Globe and Emmy awards for its depiction of the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants who live in a stately home.
The film depicts the Crawley family two years after the drama's final episode that aired for six seasons from 2010 to 2015.
In 1927, the King and Queen of England were scheduled to visit Downton Abbey. Mary, the eldest daughter of the Earls of Grantham, has reinstated her butler, Carson, and is preparing for a parade and a grand dinner party.
Meanwhile, a series of scandals, romances, and intrigues among the family and maids ensue, including an inheritance dispute between Violet and Maud Bagshaw, Queen Mary's maid of honor and cousin of the previous Countess Violet. She has been out of touch for decades.
In addition to the cast of the drama version, including Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Jim Carter, and Michelle Dockery, Imelda Staunton appears as Maud for the first time in the film version.
Continuing from the drama version, the film is written by Oscar-winner Julian Fellowes and directed by Michael Engler.
