This is awesome ever. No wonder it deserved many awards.

If you know the history behind the story, it will be better.









The most inspiring thing is that even if you have difficulty on something, you are still willing to conquer it.



And be modest to accept anything you lack.

















It's worth watching.

I can't tell this film is good or not.









A little sad. At first, I thought it is about a person how to be a great chef. But it is not exactly about it.







The first person who inspired little Nigel. Maybe.







Oscar Kennedy is so lovely!













At least, it tells us what the society was in the past.









Freddie Highmore is as gorgeous as he was little.















The second person who inspired Nigel. I guess.















Poor Mrs. Potter. And I think why Nigel's dad is dead due to eat too much cakes.











British accent is amazing, by the way.
