The first, like most other romance movies, is a romantic love story where the hero and heroine end up together. Mark Darcy's confession "I like you very much, just as you are" and Mark's overcoat wrapping Bridget's kiss in the snow is so romantic and enchanting, how hopeful it will happen to us one day. For the second BJ diary, my evaluation is that fairy tales and reality coexist. The reason why it is said that it is a fairy tale is that the stupid and fat Bridget is making trouble all day long, but Mark still silently helps her and dotes on her, and finally got engaged to his Prince Charming Mark, which is a Happy Ending. But the reality is that two people with such huge differences, living together really creates a lot of contradictions, so Bridget is happier with the humorous Daniel than with Mark, although he turns out that Daniel is an asshole. So the contradiction in BJ2 also extends to BJ3, and the details of BJ3 will be discussed later.
After watching 3 movies, I decided to read the original novel. Since I haven't bought the book yet, I only read some free resources, so I only read the English version of the first "Bridget Jones's Diary: A Novel" and the fourth "Bridget Jones's Baby", the third because Mark was written to death I don't plan to watch it, anyway, I think Bridget Jones's Diary without Mark Darcy is a fanfiction. Since the theme is BJ3, let's talk about Bridget Jones's Baby novels and movies.
"Bridget Jones's Baby" feels like it was born because of the need to make a movie, not because of the novel, and it's shorter than the BJ1 novel (haven't read the second one, I'll read it when I buy the book) . Unlike the movie, Daniel and Mark are rivals in the novel, and Mark is a more sensitive big boy. Bridget's old friend Jude has gone to New York to work as a banker, so she now has single Tom, Miranda and Shazzer and married Magda. When Bridget has a problem, it's heartwarming that these friends are always by her side to help her out and give her advice (some of which are bad ideas).
The story of the novel goes like this: Mark and Bridget got engaged five years ago, then Daniel came to Bridget and lifted Bridget's skirt because of the damn lecherous Daniel, which was seen by Mark and misunderstood. So Mark broke up with Bridget, went to work in America and married Natasha. Five years later, Mark got divorced and reunited with Bridget at the Christening of Magda's children. In the evening that night, the two got drunk, reunited and spent a good night together, but due to the recent divorce and considering Bridget's age (misunderstanding~~~), Mark said that he couldn't get back with Bridget. So Bridget feels old and unattractive, and soon has a one-night stand with Daniel. Then there was trouble, when Bridget got pregnant because the eco-friendly condoms he had used had expired, but the father, probably Mark and Daniel, was happy and confused. After telling Daniel about this, Daniel offered the money to get rid of it, and was willing to take care of her during pregnancy until he knew that both Mark and himself could be fathers (Daniel and Mark are true love, and all women have to grab it). When Bridget told Mark all this, Mark said as the movie says "This is the single most wonderful piece of information I have ever been given in my entire
There are many details in the book, due to the limited space, I will not go into them one by one. In general, the plot in the book is more reasonable, and there are more psychological activities of the characters, and the plot is richer, which is a different experience from watching a movie. Bridget's diary in the novel is written from Bridget, and the male and female protagonists are all flesh and blood. Of course, Bridget is not as ugly as the movie. There are several friends who are also single to accompany her, and Mark is also like a big boy In that way, it is not so cold, and the internal contradiction between them is really not very big. As long as Daniel doesn't mess up their lives, their relationship is really stable.
Speaking of movies, feminism was added to the movie, and a lot of changes were made to add drama. One of the better settings is that Bridget neglected himself 5 years ago because Mark was busy with work and made himself feel very lonely, so he took the initiative to break up with Mark (different from the original), and Bridget became a top news 5 years later. Producer, getting slimmer, these are the awakenings of female consciousness: living the life you want on your own terms. It’s a little regrettable that my friends are all married and I’m still single, but this doesn’t prevent me from being enthusiastic and optimistic about life. It doesn’t mean that I have to be like everyone else. Even if he didn't know who his father was after an unplanned pregnancy, Bridget never intended to take advantage of the two, but instead raised his child independently. When I watched BJ1 and 2 movies before, I thought that Bridget was really unworthy of Mark, but in this movie, Bridget grew into an independent and confident but still innocent and excellent woman like a child, which is really attractive. In the movie, Mark is a mature and stable barrister who saves the world every day. He is gentle and considerate, and is a near-perfect dream lover. However, due to her old-fashioned personality, lack of taste, and her daily schedule, she did not enter the hall of marriage with Bridget for many rounds. Fortunately, she later found out that she owed a lot to Bridget because of her work.
For feminism, I don’t think it’s necessary to shout slogans and march every day. In Western society, women can go to elections, choose their jobs, and choose their own lives. The society is gradually accepting those LGBT people, just like Bridget’s mother. Say "Do we need any more rights?". I can say that all the women in the film are feminists because that's the life they chose. Aside from the punk-dressed girls who marched on the streets, Jude and Shazzer chose to return home to take care of the children, Bridget's mother could vote in her parish, and TV colleagues chose to be single (but have sex) because they had no interest in marriage and children. , Boss Alice, who has her own personality in dress, hair and makeup, has a strong job, a divorced obstetrician and gynecologist who takes care of her children alone, and of course Bridget chooses her own life, her love, and her work principles. These are all feminist rights. performance of the activists. Feminism has many forms, as long as you can choose what you want, you are all feminists.
The appearance of Jack and the arrival of the child made the two people realize how much they love each other even though they only have an 8% match through the dating algorithm test. Bridget said "We always loved the fantasy of us. But the reality, as we both known, is quite different. We could both come up with a 100 reasons why we didn't make if, but in the end I always felt that you were never there and I was mostly alone" How sad. Obviously they are in love, but there are always gaps that cannot be bridged. Fortunately, after going around for 10 years, the two still returned to the starting point. Mark's confessions "It seems I always find time to save the world, but you are my world" and "I'll love him anyway, just as I love you. The way you were, the way you are, the way you always will be", which moved most of the female audience, although of course there are few or no such boys in real life. I believe that Mark and Bridget will actively face their differences in the future and find a way to compromise with each other. After all, long-distance love is better than hasty marriage. I don’t like the kind of love each other very much before marriage and hate each other very much after marriage. that kind of marriage. Of course, in the end, like the novel, the child is Mark's, and Bridget and Mark are also married, and Mark and Jack have become good friends.
The film is mainly about love, Mark is the perfect dream lover, Bridget is a comedic person, and most of the jokes in the film happen to her. The bad thing about the movie is that Jack's character is so unrealistic that Bridget really screwed up his job.
After watching the 3 episodes, I really like Renée, an American actor who plays a London girl, her acting is very good, her accent is great, anyway, I think she has already blended in with Bridget, so I can't accept her role in anything else Role. Uncle Colin is also great, and I want to see his works in the future. It's a small regret that Hugh Grant didn't play Daniel, I really miss the bad and charming Daniel he played.
No matter how different the characters and plots of the novel and the movie are, the same thing is that 5 years ago and 5 years later, Bridget and Mark both love each other the same, love each other as they are, they are Happy Ending.
