A good film far from the classic

The first thing to say is that the director wanted to make the film into a drama-style movie, and it turned out to be a movie-style drama. Unfortunately, the actor's performance style is very cinematic and lacks the tension of the drama; and the set can easily pull the audience out of the atmosphere of the plot.

The rhythm at the beginning of the film is fast, trying to quickly pull the audience into the plot. But the amount of information is too much, the director wants to tell the audience all the preparations before the climax of the novel, and as a result, at least I am, indigestion.

The character of Uncle Jude Law is weakened, not as prominent as the character in the novel, at least the taste of the original book is not baked out, and then the climax comes, and then it ends. . . Pride and Prejudice's Uncle Darcy teamed up with Knightley again, and as a result, the character was also weakened. It feels that all the writing and ink has been given to Knightley, and the conflicts and foreshadowing that should be there are missing or too sudden.

But overall, the director's style of storytelling is truly unique. And such a serious and in-depth script is also very suitable for the British to tell. I hope the director will have more films, and the storytelling experience will be more and more enriched in the future.

In fact, I am also here to complain about Bazahei!
