JANE AUSTEN is the most famous female writer in the history of British literature, often equated with Shakespeare by later generations. She created six touching love stories with unique and delicate brushstrokes, but she never married. In a sense, "BECOMING JANE" is a very ordinary biographical film without ups and downs. From beginning to end, the film is full of rich English country colors, green grass and blue sky, smoke curling, middle-class cricket and fantasy-loving JANE. However, it is precisely because of these "quiet" interpretations that the film exudes profound humanity in the blandness, and makes the love and characters in the story extremely lethal and even sighing.
JANE defines herself as: WELL-EDUCATED VILLAGE GIRL—a well-educated country girl. A simple sentence, but it is clear at a glance: JANE is unruly. She is not moved by worldly disturbances, she is delicate and noble; she has talent and understands life; she is independent on the outside, but soft and fragile on the inside; she believes in love and what the heart needs... This makes JANE who grew up in the country and the people around her. People lack a common language until TOM's sudden intrusion.
TOM's appearance is quite reckless - FASHION LOOK WITH A DECENT JOB. Like JANE, TOM is a young man who is wild at heart and longs for independence. Although he was in high society in London, the young trainee lawyer had to bow his head proudly in front of his uncle and ask for monthly living expenses. In British society at the time, getting married for love was a stupid game. Just like Tom's mother's original choice, for love, she lost her status and money. In the end, her children still couldn't escape the world and had to depend on a wealthy and powerful family to live.
TOM's appearance also broke JANE's once-quiet world, just like his reckless intrusion, TOM is destined to stir up waves in JANE's life. One is open-mouthed and free and unrestrained; the other is quiet and reserved, unrestrained; they fight with each other, they do not give in to each other, but they have a heart-to-heart connection.
However, money determines how the hierarchical world works. Parents still hope to choose a wealthy and promising husband for JANE. WISLEY - the nephew of the local noble, prominent and wealthy Mrs. GRESHAM - was the ideal choice. Although all parties have to promote this marriage, JANE did not hesitate to reject the cowardly WISLEY.
Faced with opposition from everyone, TOM and JANE decided to run away. But the result is obvious: JANE's family will be disgraced; TOM's family will be impoverished again, and family, friends, status and wealth will be destroyed. For the union of love, we will repeat the mistakes of the previous generation... In the
end, JANE, who dared to abandon tradition and the future at all costs, to pursue true love, also dared to take himself as a family and responsibility for the fulfillment of TOM. The victims...
Finally, they understand the fragility of love, "If love will destroy you and your family, I'd rather not love". Reason makes them brave to face separation, and it also makes them cry when they look back... In the
end, reason overcomes emotion, or the secular overcomes true love...
But the story doesn't end there.
The love that was obliterated by JANE personally became a world-famous female writer and the Chief Justice of Ireland. Twenty years later, when the two met again, TOM introduced JANE to his daughter, JANE, a girl with the same name as JANE. At this moment, Jane's face showed a hint of consolation. It turned out that love still stayed in the years 20 years ago and has never been lost. She never forgot, and he never forgets. I can't be together in this life, I hope to continue the relationship in the next life...
JANE's works all have happy endings. She put her sustenance on love into words and told him that it was he who gave her the love that she could not get. As long as the words endure for a long time, love will never be wiped out by the years... The sad but not sad ending is just right , makes people cry in my heart and feel very emotional.
As the film's final monologue:
She began now to comprehend that she began to realize
he was exactly the man who,
in disposition and talents, this man
would most suit her.
His understanding and temper that suit her 100%,
though unlike her own, and his own Not exactly the same
would have answered all her wishes.
It was a union that union
must have been to the advantage of both.
By her ease and liveliness, her
mind might have been softened,
his manners improved, his manners elegant,
and from his judgement, he is shrewd in
information and knowledge of the world, with a lot of experience,
she must have received, and she must have received
benefit of greater importance. But
no such happy
marriage
what connubial felicity really was. It has been impossible to achieve.
However, for the spectators, this ending seems to be only a consolation. Although JANE and TOM finally have the fame and status in life, what they lost is the feelings that will never return. Living under the aura of being envied by the world, the pain in the heart cannot be compensated by the smile and success on the surface...
It is better to look at each other in the rivers and lakes... It can only be said by helpless people, helpless if...
