love and praise

The Queen's people, who are accustomed to the rainy weather, leisurely hold their umbrellas in the fog and rain in London, and are hopelessly fascinated by the half-dreams here. They smacked obscure and snarky jokes and roamed all the neighborhoods outside Buckingham Palace.

The hands of the clock are always fixed at four o'clock in the afternoon, an hour that belongs to the afterglow of a nap and afternoon tea.

The sidereal day at 23:56:04 and the never-ending sunlight, this is a legend about "the sun never sets".

Oz wrote that I am writing this because someone I love is dead, and I am writing this because I was filled with the power of love when I was young. Now that power of love is dying, and I don't want to die. Jane Austen probably had such a feeling when she wrote about women who had their own shadows but no destiny.

Women who generally pursue independence and stubbornness love Austin. Just like the thoughtful and emotionally determined heroine in "Gone Girl", in the carefree years of love, she and the hero also had a game of finding Austin among the bookshelves.

Probably because Austin doesn't have prince and princess endings, all of her heroines have happy endings. But "Sense and Sensibility" doesn't seem to be as complete as "Pride & Prejudice". If the Bennet sisters are a victory of almost stubborn persistence, then the Dashwood sisters are a game of compromise and fate.

I really can't think of anyone who is more suitable for the image of the British lover than Hugh Grant, a slightly dull gentleman, a shy and charming smile that hides the confusion, and a sad look that is silent and melts all love. Edward and Elinor have the same temperament, they are forbearing and restrained, and their ending is more like an absurd comedy.

My favorite, Marianne, seems to have gone through more. She is warm and emotional. The most touching thing about her is not the charming temperament of playing the piano and reading poetry, but the wanton and unsophisticated smile. Reborn from the ashes after the deadly heavy rain, I don't know if love also died, what I see is that her smile has become restrained since then. Col. Brandon is her best home, he loves her like guarding the soul of his ex-girlfriend and daughter.

So, Sense and Sensibility is more like real life?

Eliz is the image that girls yearn for and the object that boys chase. In fact, I have some doubts, whether it is more women or men who admire Eliz more. I was no longer young when I watched Pride and Prejudice. I once ridiculed Austen, saying that she was the originator of romance novels. If you ignore the age and take out the main plot of Pride and Prejudice, it will be a bad soap opera. Nothing hurts the young woman's love for Austen, just as Alexandre Dumas' popular novel remains a hit. Wilde said, "Most people live for love and praise. But we should live by love and praise. With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who can not be happy?"

    The moment Eleanor suddenly heard the truth, her emotions suddenly broke her rationality. The rational heart had been built up for too long, and her emotions would be so turbulent at the moment of her defeat. Emma is so good in this scene. All the reserved, steady, and generous set off the faux pas at the moment is so moving. At the climax moment, the director actually chose to swing away from the camera, and relayed it from the perspective of a little girl. It was amazing, and the forbearance and restraint made the audience imagine their own growth. (Besides, I really like the colonel. But is the relationship between the second sister and the colonel the prototype of Fei Yunfan and Ziling~

    Watching such a movie is really relaxing, with a happy plot, a beautiful British voice, and most importantly, Alan Rickman!

Sense and Sensibility quotes

  • Charlotte Palmer: To think! We can see his insufferable house from the top of our hill. I shall ask Jackson to plant some very tall trees.

    Mr. Palmer: You will do nothing of the sort.

  • Mrs. Dashwood: We're so happy that you chose to invite Edward to Norland. He's a dear boy. We're all very fond of him.

    Fanny: We have great hopes for him. Much is expected of him by our mother with regard to his profession.

    Mrs. Dashwood: Naturally.

    Fanny: And in marriage. She's determined that both he and Robert will marry well.

    Mrs. Dashwood: Of course. But I hope she desires them to marry for love.

    Fanny: Love is all very well, but unfortunately we cannot always rely on the heart to lead us in the most suitable directions. You see, my dear Mrs. Dashwood, Edward is entirely the kind of compassionate person upon whom penniless women can prey. And having entered into any understanding, he would never go back on his word. He's simply incapable of doing so, but it would lead to his ruin. I worry for him so, Mrs. Dashwood. My mother has made it perfectly plain that she would withdraw all financial support from Edward should he choose to plant his affections in less... exalted ground than he deserves.

    Mrs. Dashwood: I understand you perfectly.
