Gosford Park

I did like this movie ultimately. But it seemed excruciating in the beginning. It's deliberately slow paced to replicate a weekend spend in a British country mansion. I suppose not much would really happen. The exploration of wealth and servant society was very interesting. Things do pay off in the end, although I think the story could have done more to demonstrate the loathsome qualities of Mr. McCordle (the eventual murder victim). Except for a few words here or there, I didn't get the impression that he was anymore disliked than any of the other rich folk. But when he was killed quite a lot of the characters seemed relieved that he was dead.
