Based on Mark Twains novel， The Millionaire Pound Note takes an interesting satirical look at the hypocrisy stemming from class distinction in the 50s England. England is a country where class and wealth are given extreme significance， especially among the rich.
The film shows the hypocrisy that existed among these people， how the rich are quick to change face when in an instant they find out that youre a man of wealth and how within the next moment they revert back to their condescending selves when all wealth is lost. Interestingly， The Millionaire also briefly looks at how the English perceived Americans in that era. Rich Americans were weled as outsiders and the poor were quickly shunned away. The fact that hes an outsider either makes him more appealing or the plete opposite.
The story sticks to the main theme by emphasizing on the hypocrisy of the upper class society but at the same time it also creates a balance that prevents the movie from being a mockery of the British society. The movie drags at some point but the love story appears at the right time and there is plenty of edy to keep one entertained. A charming Gregory Peck totally nails the part and the luminous Jane Griffiths is a treat. Reginald Beckwith， as Pecks sidekick Rock is amusing. The ending is a little predictable but the director does an overall good job by rounding it up and presenting his points.

《百万英镑》英文读后感 (七)
The author of "Million Pounds", Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Langham Clemens, was an outstanding American writer, famous journalist and humorist. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which we have read, is his masterpiece.
"Million Pounds" mainly tells the story of a pair of betting brothers, lend honest and trustworthy "me" a million pounds, make "me" become a well-known person, but also let "me" have a home.
When "I" was dressed in rags and took the million pounds to buy clothes, the clerk chose "the worst of a bunch of unwanted clothes and gave it to me," but when the clerk saw "my" million pounds, his "smile fell into such a dilemma and remained the same." ..." The boss personally measures the clothes for "me" and is willing to wait "indefinitely" for payment. No matter where "I" go to buy something, everyone is willing to give credit. From here I can see the money worship of the Western countries at that time, they respect the rich people, contempt for the poor.
Mark Twain used humor and satire to show the corruption of the society at that time. I think this article also reveals the voice of many poor people: want to get rich!
