Jane Austen represents the love fantasies and stories of teenage girls in 19th-century English country estates. The English countryside of the 19th century was natural and harmonious, yet bland and boring, similar to today's middle-class life in the United States. The film is based on Austen's six novels to interpret the love of six ordinary people in the American middle class. A woman whose life is the joy of her life and her marriage, a cheating wife and her gay daughter, a controlling single woman, a slightly neurotic French teacher, and a software who has never read Austen's novels Engineer, "Emma," "Mansfield Manor," "Northanger Abbey," "Pride and Prejudice," "Sense and Sensibility," "Persuasion," in that order, these six Americans "repeated" Austen's story.

With the backing of Jane Austen, this Hollywood film, which could easily be made into a vulgar lifestyle film, is worthy of admiration in terms of conception and atmosphere. Take the ending, for example, on a fresh morning, on the spotless roads of a typical American community, a couple of men and women who have no worries about food and clothing and live a leisurely life hug and kiss, how can I not be envied by people who are busy with their livelihoods like me?

Gay daughter and her first girlfriend look great!

I have only watched Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility of these six films, so I can understand and understand these two more clearly. Therefore, it is suggested that friends who are interested in Jane Austen can first watch "Becoming Jane Austen" starring Anne Hathaway to gain an understanding of her own love story; then read these six books or movies separately. At least understand the plot and idea; watching "Austin Book Club" at the end will achieve good results. I think many of Jane Austen's summaries in this film are quite reasonable. For example, she focuses on self-restraint and restraint in her feelings. Most of the handsome and romantic men are villains who abandon their feelings. Most of them are reunion endings but never describe marriage. life, etc.
