A sense of history, which is directed by Mike Leigh, is a parody of upper class life in Britain. It tells the story of an Earl's life which seems miserable and tragic. This film is made of narration by himself showing places where every single event had happened. His tone of narration is full of emotion expressed how he felt about the story.

He was born in well of family so he was under pressure to keep his heritage. In order to 'his duty' , he killed his wife brother on purpose when he was 7 years old. Besides, he killed his wife and adorable children to get divorce. How cruel he was. I feel really sorry for him in terms of his life. He must have been lonely for his entire life because he had not been able to trust people who are around him. What's more, I think this film shows us a situation of modern society because it it quite similar to a way of thinking which we have. So it tries to remind us of capitalism which goes worse and worse. I'd like to recommend this to people who want to think about our society and how money makes people selfish and crazy
