Maybe I didn't know Jane Austen well enough. Maybe I only read "Pride and Prejudice" and I didn't understand how Austen's story could have such a magical impact on the lives of the protagonists in the movie. Impact.
The six book club members described in the film love Jane Austen's books so much, they discuss her books, and when they need to make choices in life, they think: What would Jane Austen do? I don't think it resonates with me in this way, what does their life have to do with Austin? When they discuss the characters in the novel, they are only expounding their own subjective ideas. They will say "what does Austen think", but in fact they are only saying "how do I think".
Moreover, the film wants to use every story of the book club members, combined with a book by Austin, to illustrate the influence relationship. For example, when Prudie became emotional about a high school, the book club began to discuss "Sense and Sensibility". Of course, in the end, there seems to be no Discuss any results. Then, Prudie lied to her husband that she was participating in book club activities, but she was actually trying to meet high school students. There were high school students standing across the road. The red light stopped Prudie from moving forward. When the green light was on, Prudie saw "What Jane would do?", and then the red "Don;t Walk" was on again. When he got up, Prudie suddenly woke up. I think the clip is good, but I don't think it's "What Jane would do" that wakes Prudie, it's the sparkly "Don't walk" that keeps her awake!
The director intends to guide the members of the book club, especially the women's choice, through "What Jane would do", showing that they love Jane Austen, and every character in Jane Austen's story, including Jane Austen herself, has a profound influence on each of them. A person. However, every time a certain book of Austen was discussed, each member only said a few words, which did not reflect how deeply the book fans knew Jane Austen.
What's even more incredible is that Daniel, who abandoned his wife, began to read Austin's books in order to reunite with Sylvia, so the relationship between the two was as good as ever; after Prudie was stopped by "don't walk", he ran home and forced her husband Dean to read Austin's books. Books, and then Dean even fell in love with reading Jane Austen, the relationship between the two quickly heated up, and Grigg joined the book club to pursue Jocelyn from the beginning... The ending is happy, the woman loves Jane Austen as always, and loves Their men also joined the ranks of the love.
As much as I love watching happy endings, the story of this film makes me feel the magic of Jane Austen.
"Pride and Prejudice" is my favorite book. I have read it countless times. Every time I read it, I am as deeply attracted by it as I read it for the first time. However, it is far from affecting my life and life. The point of choice, so can't resonate.
