I watched the 2011 version of "Jane Eyre" twice before and after. During the two movie viewings, I read the original and watched the BBC miniseries "Jane Eyre". A book with outstanding personality determines the extraordinary appeal and visual tone of this film. If "Gone with the Wind" uses a news-style brushwork to outline the life of aristocratic girls represented by Scarlett, Austin's works such as "Mansfield Manor" use theater-like plots to show the upper-class family lifestyle, "Jane The narrative technique of "Love" is almost photographic-Charlotte Bronte's writing is rich in color, emotional in the scene, and good at capturing and tracing. In almost every chapter, there is no lack of unique depictions of the environment and actions: how simple and neatly Jane Eyre dressed to meet Mr. Rochester; how the two arguing happily for Jane Eyre’s debut before the wedding; Jane Eyre I feel nostalgic for the swamp in the wilderness, and the cold environment in the dark also has elegant and diverse colors such as gray and purple...like a picture of a book and presented in front of people, there is a kind of aesthetic pleasure that contains a sense of order . The author has such an elegant pen, but does not care about piling up romantic elements. Her "look" or "immersion" is accompanied by a thinking nature and an inherent insight, wise. His remarks are like a spark of thought, bursting from time to time between the lines and in the clever dialogues of the characters, and they often give people a sense of "initiation" in an instant. This kind of simple beauty has the essence of wisdom, but it is indisputable in the world, and it is natural. And the elegant garden of thorns constructed by the author, in the gloomy light and shadow, uses elegance to control the low-key luxury of a party.
Since the original work has such a rich concrete expression, can the movie reproduce the dazzling chapter in the book as long as it is copied? Compared with this film, the BBC version of "Jane Eyre" four-episode miniseries seems to be more in place, and the artistic presentation of natural interest is like a "pastoral symphony". Rows of hand-painted porcelain plates on the manor’s fireplace, garden trysts with classical oil painting composition, Jane Eyre’s carefully arranged girls’ school classrooms, and even her gestures when drawing sketches all convey the uniqueness of the British Isles all the time. Cultural heritage. But the 2011 version of "Jane Eyre" only has two hours to tell this story that doesn't emphasize speed. The director’s alternative approach made this BBC film as unique as the heroine at the beginning: the story begins with Jane Eyre’s departure, and turns the first half of life from purgatory to the Garden of Eden into a life that no one knows, only in the heart of the heroine. Lingering memories. Jane Eyre's personality is no longer as calm as in her own account, but rebellious and emotional. This also reflects the director's point of view: Jane Eyre's greatest pain does not stem from an unpleasant childhood and a hard life, but the great struggle of women in the face of sudden emotional changes. When she had not left the charity school, the Puritan-style management made her indomitable pure personality and acquired education reach a tense balance, and after entering Thornfield Garden, the growing warmth and nostalgia, the heroine realized them. From that moment on, she began to challenge her efforts to control herself. The saint-like dedication is inevitably involved in more and more inexplicable events. The seemingly peaceful and comfortable work of teachers is accompanied by the trembling in the dark, the inferiority caused by identity, and the growing emotional bond. The heartstrings of the young woman played more and more bright and joyous music. The quiet and slightly disturbed string music in the film borrows this vague emotion to make the film present a suspenseful color tension, projecting the mutual attraction and game between Jane Eyre's sensitive mood and the atmosphere of the ancient castle.
Interspersed in the evolution of the plot is a model of British life constructed with countless details, revealing a gentle charm in the plain. Surrounding Mr. Rochester and his caregiver Adele, the courses of "British Etiquette" and "Aristocratic Cultivation" have been ongoing. The color and texture of Jane Eyre's clothes are not clear-even after she became a wealthy heiress, she did not wear the gorgeous fur and satin like her aunt-but this does not prevent us from seeing the conservative and pure fingerless net line gloves. The cleanliness of the white lace collar, the exquisite embroidery of the cloth, the subtle pleats of the long skirt and the rotator cuff decorations without repetition; she has not been out of school for eight years, which does not prevent her from understanding the expansion of the British Empire; walking, dining and even When kissing, Jane Eyre maintained a perfect neck line, and she always clasped her hands gracefully and stood upright; especially her tolerant and rational words towards her rich aunt who treated her cruelly It is not perfect), showing the beauty of noble demeanor and temperance.
In the film, the supporting actress Miss Ingram's role is downplayed, weakening the contrast between the bohemian aristocracy and Jane Eyre's simple elegance, but Jane Eyre is in a Palladio-style manor, calm and independent, not for wealth The conquered character is also shown vividly by "running away": she did not stay in Thornfield as a mistress just because she was in love with Mr. Rochester. The brilliance of humanity and the forbearance of giving are precisely Jane Eyre. The place where this character is above the popular is also the place where this relationship makes the story shine. And after a long period of silence and obedience, Jane Eyre confided to Mr. Rochester's deafening, poetic language, set against the backdrop of the natural scenery, so bold and straightforward, like a spring rain after thunder, awakened men. The soul of the protagonist. This seemingly ordinary girl is undoubtedly an antidote to the old civilization compared to the happiness of marriage lost for wealth, the emptiness of dealing with the upper class, and the vicissitudes of wandering in exchange for soul freedom. The exquisite but unsculpted description reflects the aura of this small book full of details, penetrating the screen, opening up the desolate riverbank of the human soul, and reaching the new world of the spiritual world.
The director made obvious changes to the plot after Jane Eyre inhabited the swamp. In the original book, Father St. John is a relative Jane Eyre has never met. After learning about this and the identity of her heiress, Jane Eyre divides the huge inheritance with her brothers and sisters. In the movie, Jane Eyre gifted this wealth of 20,000 pounds to the priests and sisters who saved their lives, and married them. The heroine’s generosity, sincerity, and specificity have been covered in idealism, and it also laid the groundwork for the plot that followed: true love is supreme, but if the lover loses everything, even life becomes incomplete, is there still Courage to send out enthusiasm and oath, to accept misfortune frankly? Riding a carriage, Jane Eyre returned to Thornfield Manor. The little cap on her head was inlaid with golden Victorian lace, which shows that her status is no longer what it used to be. Also not what it used to be is the personable Mr. Rochester. The manor was burned down, his eyes were blind, the gurgling water and the tactful birdsong remained, but the world was dark and eternal to him. And those bare hands, that voice, quietly appeared in front of him. He said it was a dream. And her tears of laughter and hugs awakened him again. Compared with the priest’s will to devote, this choice does not have religious fanaticism and condescending, but it is so real, calm, and as simple as drinking water, it is a deep attachment, the safety of returning home, that is hidden in the thorns of Thornfield Manor. The perseverance from it produced little flowers that were stubborn and splendid like daisies, and finally created a love legend with a very different temperament and no trace of beauty.
