It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. 《双城记》以法国大革命为故事背景，这部电影形象生动地演绎出当时腐败的贵族统治阶级和饱受残害的法国平民。不可否认，法国平民反抗的精神值得敬佩，但他们贫瘠的受教育水平导致其愚昧的思想根深蒂固，过于偏执地仇恨一切贵族阶级甚至是与贵族有过接触的黎民百姓，“宁可错杀，不可放过” ……这种无差别的滥杀无辜，长此以往岂不是之前统治阶级的残暴腐朽的另一种变相的延续？ 看到电影的最后一幕，我忍不住潸然泪下。Carton对Marie的爱情何其伟大神圣，世上竟真有人为了成全所爱之人的幸福而牺牲自己的生命，即使那幸福的爱情并没有自己的位置亦无怨无悔。这样美好圣洁的爱情实在是感人肺腑！
