Downton Abbey: El gran final

Downton Abbey - The Grand Finale is an elegant and accomplished farewell. The writers wisely chose the path of subtraction: fewer contrived twists, more focus on the truth of the characters. At its heart lie the relationships and the interplay between social groups, capturing the very essence of the series. It works beautifully as a compendium, distilling what Downton Abbey has been for more than oa decade.

What a gift Julian Fellowes has been. Creating a world that so many can relate to and genuinely feel as if they are part of it, though only observers. Having watched from the beginning 14 years ago, waiting patiently for the next episode then movie, it astounds me how emotionally invested I've been. Many viewings have touched me, connected with me. The writing here has delivered an "ending" that completes the story, wraps up the story, ends the story competently and efficiently. But even in its efficient spareness, if you have been a follower or not, it will still deeply affect you. Succumb to it, and hope that other writers learn from it, because this is how films are meant to be written. Thank you Mr Fellowes.

As a long-time fan of the series, I found the Downton Abbey farewell film truly moving. It brought together all of main characters for a final glimpse into their lives through 1930, blending heartfelt moments with just the right touch of humor. The film beautifully pays tribute to the show's legacy and brings out the strengths of each character as they adapt to a new era. It offers a satisfying closure that resonated deeply with me-so much so that I cried at the end as if saying goodbye to beloved friends. I appreciate the care taken to wrap up the story for loyal viewers. Thank you to everyone involved in creating this touching farewell.

When Mary finds herself in a public scandal and the family faces financial trouble, the household grapples with the threat of social disgrace. The Crawleys must embrace change with the next generation leading Downton Abbey into the future.

Honestly, my watched every episode and I paid enough attention to follow along. These characters are all so well written that they really do feel like a family, your family. From the actual family to the servants of the house, you care about each and everyone.

This film is a beautiful send off to a wonderful series. Yes, I think anybody who has watched the show knows this ending has been coming almost since the first episode. The "twist" in this movie is obvious and not shocking come time for reveal. However, that really takes a backseat to the emotion that comes with this project. I was never a die hard watcher and even I got a little emotional at the end. I can only imagine how true fans must feel. It's a pity that more shows can't end with this satisfying of a finale.

IMDb gives it a 7.7/10 For me, it's a 7.5/10

Right or wrong, weak or strong...these are my opinions.

The finale touched me to the core. It tied up a great deal of stories while providing a fitting tribute to those who were so much a part of the entire run. And the dialogue is so "cheeky" meaning true Downton followers will appreciate the references. I loved every minute. Thank you Julian Fellowes. You have left us with a lasting legacy to be revisited again.
