1. The director and photographer successfully reproduced the mainstream visual medium of the 19th century - oil painting through light, color and camera. The richness formed by the large black, the warm tones on the black and the light on the black; a large amount of floor scattered light is used, and there is no clear main light source and light source basis; the daylight setting adopts full backlighting to form a haze, strengthen the sense of flatness, and form Gouache-like effect. 2. There is no first-person narrator, and the visual person structure is turned into the narrative structure of the film, that is, each scene and paragraph is premised on the presence of Jane Eyre, and the audience sees what she sees and feels what she feels; share the screen space in the film It means sharing mental space; the use of shallow focus (depth of field) lenses has become an important narrative method in this article, showing the psychology of the characters; using the reality of the focus to express presence and absence, to express psychological rejection and identification). 3. When two people fall in love, they completely use the double medium shot to express the ardor of their love and the profound identity of both parties. 4. The use of "frame in a picture frame", that is, the use of mirrors: Jane Eyre has three mirrors in her room, but she never takes a picture of herself in the mirror, implying her strong character without self-pity or narcissism, exception: Jane Eyre Love gets married and looks in the mirror in a wedding dress, while the refracted figures in the photo frame are distorted, implying that the happy bride is just a fantasy.

    With Sally Hawkins Judi dench, it wouldn't be bad. Fassband is a little light. The director of True Detective is very handsome and really knows how to deal with emotional scenes.

    The choice is a bit messy

Jane Eyre quotes

  • Mrs. Fairfax: No one knows how it started. I expect that Mrs. Poole took too much of the Gin and water as she slept the lady, Mrs. Rochester, unlocked the keys. She did what she failed to do a year ago, set the whole place to fire. We would have all perished in the smoke but Mister Rochester would not rest until we were all safe. Then he went in for her. The flames were tearing up so high it brought men running from the village. I saw her standing on the roof, the very edge. I heard Mister Rochester beg her to come down but she jumped. Mister Rochester remained as if he would not move until the fire consumed him.

  • [last lines]

    Rochester: [sightless] Who's there?

    Jane Eyre: [takes his hand]

    Rochester: This hand.

    [touching her face]

    Rochester: Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre.

    Jane Eyre: Edward, I am come back to you... Fairfax Rochester with nothing to say?

    Rochester: You're altogether a human being Jane.

    Jane Eyre: I conscientiously believe so.

    Rochester: [passionate kiss] I dream.

    Jane Eyre: Awaken then.

    [they embrace]
