Now we need a prequel of Violet's past more than ever!! it was enough drama with the Russian trip in 1874 and now this!...Perhaps it could go like Violet narrating her life to Mary before dying that way Maggie Smith can reprise her role and can give us those strong one-liners!
Sometimes what siblings need in order to get along is distance apart. With her living with Bertie, it gives them both space to do what they like without having the other constantly watching like a vulture.
@@finderinskaie I cannot concur. In the last season Mary was brutal to Edith. Nevertheless due to the distance between the sisters and Edith’s new social position Edith had the chance for personal growth and development so that she is no longer vulnerable to being bullied which balanced their relationship.
@@Celisar1 I partly disagree. Edith had good reason to be livid with Mary, but did show up for Mary's wedding to Henry at the very last minute and I think (if I remember correctly) this is where Edith tells Mary that one day, they will be the only ones to remember Downton and everyone who lived there, and that that is more important than all of their sisterly issues. Yes, Mary was brutal to Edith, like she always was, but eventually, she did bring Bertie and Edith back together, with the help of Rosamond. Besides, Edith was often equally brutal to Mary. They were always fighting, being sarcastic and mean to each other all the time and sabotaging each other's lives, from the very beginning. Of course they were also manipulated by O'Brien, the first ladies' maid to Lady Crawley, but they both really didn't need that much encouragement. I also think that Edith's real personal growth and development happened when she was editor of her magazine. I think she even talks about being bored in her new life in the 1st movie but I can't remember exactly. Distance and the both of them being happy in their own lives probably díd make it a lot easier for them to get along.
I'm just happy to see them acting like sisters. I loved, and at times couldn't stand, both characters especially with all of that tit for tat. Losing Sybil should've brought them closer. Better late than never. I can't wait to see this movie.
Loved the movie. Obviously it would have been more fun to have the story spread out over several episodes, but it was a beautiful film with several great emotional moments. I prefer it over the first by quite a bit. Highly recommended
Okay, We NEED more Downton! I loved violet as much as everyone else but there is so much more to be told about the lives of the other Characters. Please give us More!!🥰🥰
I do and I don’t. I feel now that the grandmother passed on the movies won’t be the same. She made it fun and in this movie she was not much in it and it changed the feel of the movie.
@@deborahd6142 Well Matthew Goode is a movie star now. I doubt they can pay him to be part of an ensemble cast what he gets for starring roles. He will pick a starring role over nostalgia for DA fans. However, I think it would be interesting if Mary got divorced. Lady Catherine of Highclere Castle, the current earl's grandmother, got a divorce in the 1930's. So, it was done.
@@PaulyWally30 Coincido maggie tuvo el mejor guio y sjn duda el mejor personaje me hubiese gustado que se evitara todo esto creo que con la primera pelicula era suficiente va para mi.
This movie was phenomenal and I quite enjoyed the first one as well. My entire family loves this series so much it's multi-generational and something for all of us to enjoy together. I do hope that they do a third movie as well it might be fun for them to do a holiday in the states to visit ( Shirley MacLaine) Cora's mother and cousin Rose!!
They've all gotten tans, and Rosamund seems to have had her cheek fillers renewed! And I'm so happy to see Edith and Mary getting along, as they always should've done.
I saw that in tire series when it was shown at PBS …and I can’t get enough of it …the acting and the writing is superb …and the whole production …is incredible…
A nice lady at the local library here in Las Vegas put this on reserve for me and I just finished watching it for the second time this afternoon. She's never watched any of Downton but says she's going to start soon. I emailed her this morning telling her to please start from the very beginning of Downton Abbey with the first season, first episode, as she would not be familiar with the characters. I told her that Downton Abbey, A New Era, begins with Tom's wedding. If she'd never watched any of Downton, she'd not know him and his connection to the Crawley family. I felt like the characters have become people in my life, not fictional characters. There are no superlatives in my vocabulary to describe how I feel about this movie and all the Downton franchise. The sets were so elaborate and well done. I can't imagine how much the customs cost for just the funeral possession near the end of the movie where everyone was outside. Julian Fellows is certainly a remarkable talent. If this is the end, I'll miss them all.
I do hope that Mary still love Henry and stayed together despite his absence. Mary is quite famous for being dishonest & falling in love easily. He, after Lady Violet, is the reason I watch the series and movies.
Gettagarip all of you... many men, DO tan easily. It shows these fellows are getting some air and exercise in some form. By the 1920s the sun, was no longer shied away from as it had once been by the upper-class.
I saw somewhere that Hugh Bonneville said he and Jim Carter are both avid gardeners and tan easily. I believe they are the only two that looked very tan. Could be true. But I also thought that it was lousy makeup before I heard that. Now I’m trying to look at their hands to see if they are tan like that as well.
Has anyone done the math on Lord Grantham's age? A New Era is portrait in 1930's correct? Being born in 1865 at the turn of the century that would make him 35, then add another 30 years and he would be 65 in 1930. If the show is mid thirties then the would be pushing 70. He doesn't seem like his character is that old. Any comments?
I believe that The Dowager was pregnant by the the man who gave her the villa. Robert and the English would be devastated to learn the truth so The Dowager lied to protect Roberts feelings/ego. Robert doesn't look like the sister (his words) and The Dowager doesn't really treat her the same. Its so sad (my opinion) how the English treat Love as a contract/agreement. Opting to have Money / Power over True Love and Happiness. Yes, The Dowager lived a wonderful life but void of True Happiness with a partner that felt equal.
It's not because he's getting older. Saw him in an interview. He had gained some weight and decided to take it off. He commented that he hoped the fans would still accept him.
You're referring to an episode in season 1 actually. The Charming Charlies. Carson and Mr. Greg were partners in a dance act on the stage. Unfortunately, Mr. Greg couldn't keep his hand out of the honey pot and the two parted company for that and other reasons. Mr. Greg showed up again in Season 4, wanting to heal old wounds. He was brought out of a workhouse and put up residence with Mrs. Crawley (Isobel). The idea was to bring her out of the shadow of her only son's Matthew's death. It was after Carson left the stage that he came to work at Downton Abbey as a Junior Footman when Lady Grantham (Violet) was a young wife and mother.
@@m.layfette6249 However that could be explained away that Carson left service to do vaudeville but returned to service after his partner Charlie stole the woman he loved, from him.
@@peachygal4153 Charles Carson started his working career on the stage Prior to joining the Downton Abbey staff as a Junior Footman when Lady Grantham (Violet) was a young wife and mother. He left vaudeville because, one Mr. Gregg was a thief and the Love of his life left him to marry Gregg. Carson always blamed Gregg for what happened with his relationship with Lucy (I think that was her name. I know she and her sister had an act called the Lark and the Dove.) After all is said and done, Carson has been employed at Downton Abbey for at least 4-decades, if not longer.
Bertie has an even bigger state than Downton (technically, Edith outranks all the other Crawleys) and direct connections with the Royal Family. He's by far the richest/most powerful of the main characters, basically. And considering that Marigold is openly calling Edith "mummy" now, it's likely that they have officially adopted her; in any case, it's unlikely Marigold isn't already in Bertie's will and Violet would certainly know about it.
Marigold will inherit the apartment and magazine her father had. Gregson left Edith well set up. Remember, after Bertie broke off with her, she decided to move to London with Marigold and run the magazine. In reality it is Caroline who has nothing, as Mary's money came from Matthew, George's father. Henry was penniless, pretty much.
Oh man, this isn’t good, what’s going on??? Mary and Edith are getting along! Is this a bad omen? I hope it doesn’t mean I got to get along with my evil sister, Bloody Mary! And Lord Grantham, why does his face look like tanned leather that has been polished to a shiny glow? He looks like he has more foundation and makeup on, more so than than all the actresses combined. At least Michelle Dockery looks so healthy now with more meat on the bone
My heart almost burst out of my chest🥰🥰🥰

Wonderful idea! But it is probably difficult to find someone to portray the young Violet adequately.
@@Celisar1 I think no one can portray Violet Crawley as well as Maggie Smith
@@Celisar1 yes that is so true! maybe Claire Foy?
I like the idea in general, but it veers too close to being "Young Violet". Still, there may be a way around that.
I think Emily Blunt would make a great young violet. She can be really snarky and sharp and has a decent likeness.
Biggest shock for me was the fact that the whole time Edith and Mary were together they were friendly towards one another!?😱
Sometimes what siblings need in order to get along is distance apart. With her living with Bertie, it gives them both space to do what they like without having the other constantly watching like a vulture.
I think they truly became “closer” at the end of the last season.. you can also see their relationship blossom even more in the first Downton movie.

do I look like I would give up a villa in the south of France 🤣🤣🤣

The friction between Mary and Edith was just another layer of deliciousness! Couldn't imagine the PBS Downton without their squabbles!
@@pwatson5766 agreed, but it is also cool to see they've both grown up
I just love Highclaire Castle. Always loved Maggie Smith. These are my favorite shows.
“Andromeda chained to a rock” nice season one call back😏
I'm glad Mary & Edith are getting along.
" I can't hear myself dying", even in passing her quips have me shooked😂😂😂😂
If this doesn’t whet one’s appetite to watch the film or, even, re-visit its inherent charm and splendor then I would gander one is listless and lost.
I was very skeptical when they announced this movie but I quite loved it.
Andromeda callback to the pilot, to the first episode where Mary tried to get a rise out of Matthew when they first met ❤
I saw that in tire series when it was shown at PBS …and I can’t get enough of it …the acting and the writing is superb …and the whole production …is incredible…
What else was in the tire? Perhaps the ENTIRE series?
It is really sweet seeing Mary and Edith get along
I love Downton Abby and all the the crew and their glamor so much, and until this day, I've bien Watching it almost every day.
Aunt Violet: "What bit didn't you understand?" lol I'll definitely miss her in the third film.

I love that the girls are together as a Team now. Adulthood 🤗
Can't wait to purchase my own DVD. So I can watch this delightful movie over and over .....
5:58 - 6:10 A nice euphemism by Mary acknowledging Henry might be having a "car adventure" with someone else 😉
J’adoré cette série et les acteurs sont merveilleux. 🇧🇪
"I feel like Andromeda chained to a rock with you hovering over me."
Hugh Bonneville looks about 20 pounds lighter. Looking good.
Maybe put 10 pounds back on. He is almost frail in appearance.
I love, love love Downton Abby!!!
0:26 That car is fast! got up the drive as quick as any Ferrari!
The mechanical transmisión in those beasts must be wonderfull!
I do hope that Mary still love Henry and stayed together despite his absence. Mary is quite famous for being dishonest & falling in love easily.
He, after Lady Violet, is the reason I watch the series and movies.
Big spoiler. She was tempted but stayed faithful
As a long time Maggie Smith fan I got a kick out of the "Easter-egg" starting at 0:50.. Only a few will catch it....
Somos dos soy fan de ella desde que tengo 10 años cuando la vi por primera vez en sister act como madre superiora jjaja.
Clash of the Titans
Downton Abbey is the best series/movies ever!
am I the only person who cant take there eyes off that stunning dress the dowager is wearing
Hahahahaha ".. don’t Steer me I’m not a racing car.."
I'm glad she looked out for Sybil's daughter.
The building playi;g the Abbey needs an oscar
Well, that’s strange: all the male actors look very tanned. Did they shoot the scenes in the south of France before the one shown in this video?
I have to say I found the male makeup very disturbing and unnatural.

DOWTOWN ABBEY MOVIE 3 SO EXCITED TO SEE COME TO THE CINEPLEX
AND I WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THOMAS AND THE MOVIE PRODUCER
Mary and Edith getting along and working together. I have to see this movie
Prequel about Violet!
The should do another movie and really do the NEW ERA where George and sibbie are grown and running the show.
I cannot wait to see this new era..l
Has anyone done the math on Lord Grantham's age? A New Era is portrait in 1930's correct?

No estaría mal repetir la serie
You can always purchase the series on DVD. Not sure how expensive it is. Check out your local library first, to see if it's available.

Yes, The Dowager lived a wonderful life but void of True Happiness with a partner that felt equal.
His sister looks more like their mother and he probably looks more like his father the Dowager’s late husband
No ella ya estaba poco tiempo de casada tuvo un amorio pero no sucedio nada xq ella despues se fue con su marido y ahi tuvo a robert.
Excellent Movie...
BRILLIANT 😊
Still feel sweet that music many years passed away
Pinics in three-piece suits? I'm really glad it's one hundred years later.
not like he was sitting on the ground.
Wow!!!
Lord Grantham is so distractingly tan 😂

Why is Hugh Bonneville so tanned in this movie?
"What bit didn't you understand?"
"Those" British 😂
I could almost not recognise Hugh, he has lost alot of weight. Of course it could be because he's getting older
It's not because he's getting older. Saw him in an interview. He had gained some weight and decided to take it off. He commented that he hoped the fans would still accept him.
cannot get the movie to play!
6:45 - 7:05 So this version of "The Gambler" is not related to Kenny Rogers whatsoever 😄

This was horrible. The writing and acting devolved into a cheap ABC After School Special style of storyline. Such a disappointment.
Used to love the series and the first movie… but, boy, this was a brutal waste of time…
A maudlin, sickening sentimental film. I was relieved when the dowager countess died.
