"Sense and Sensibility"--Awakened Love

Monte 2022-08-03 19:09:49

A squire dies, his son inherits the estate, and his stepmother and three sisters are forced to leave. With the help of a cousin, the family settled into the hut. Among the three sisters, the eldest sister and the vicious sister-in-law's younger brother have mutual affection, but they have not been named, and they lost contact after moving. The good times didn't last long, and the young talent lost his right to inherit and went to London. Soon after, the second sister found out that he had a marriage contract, and it was painful, while the eldest sister found that the lover in her heart had already been privately set for life, so she could only give her blessings. The love of the two sisters is dying, but soon they also find their own happiness.

Idea:

1. Sometimes it's not that you don't love; it's just that another thing overcomes love.

2. The eldest sister is mostly rational, and the second sister is mostly emotional, but in the end, the emotion that the eldest sister finally broke out and the reason that the second sister suddenly awakened brought them to happiness.

3. Never forget the concept of equality between men and women, no matter how many tragedies the male inheritance system in the film has caused, and never make the same mistakes twice.

A well-known director, really worth watching.

    Throughout the ages, human emotions are generally common. In a modern society where expressions are becoming more and more naked, in an era of arrogance and pleasure, and when images of Hong Shangxiu and Hamaguchi Ryusuke hit our inner defenses, we still call on Ang Lee, reason and emotion, arrogance and prejudice, and deep affection. , loyalty, unwavering love - that companionship will build our lives. Uncle An is worthy of being a director who truly learned Chinese and Western. After adapting this 19th-century British masterpiece after the "Father Trilogy", he is light-hearted and vigorous. Quite a classical way of shooting, blending idyllic scenery and trembling emotions.

    The three-episode mini-drama used a lot of close-ups to pay attention to the changes in the characters' expressions. The exaggerated and subtle actors were all in line with the characters, and the shortcomings of matching the age of each character of the heroine can be ignored. The character of Elinor is very restrained, and several interesting fixed camera positions pay attention to her actions, such as when no one drinks the tea, she simply drinks it herself in the stairwell, and when she hears the news of Edward's marriage, she walks out of the hall silently, making the back cry with joy. Really pissed. Momei climbs the tree to observe, and the narrative angle of mother and Marianne asking urgently under the tree is also interesting. Compared to this version, I don't like the 2008 version much, mainly because of Willoughby's failed casting and lack of charm; maybe Edward or Colonel Brandon is important in the second half of the story, but he is the highlight of the first half of the story! Greg Wise was the right choice - good-looking people and good-looking voices, no wonder Marianne's soul was easily taken away. But after looking at the whole film, I feel that Jane Austen still has an established role routine.
