I have read the original book before, and I have also watched Ang Lee's S&S. Basically, Ang Lee's S&S is very loyal to the original, with many details It's also very well grasped, and the choice of actors is not bad. I can't say it's the best, but at least it's not offensive. Overall, it still shows the essence of this novel.
Compared with the BBC's S&S, I can't help but say that it's a failure. .First
of all, in the choice of actors: Eleanor's character is still very beautiful in the past, and the performance is not bad. And the actor who plays Marianne is really.... A pair of big goldfish eyes and a very nose. Short, with a long chin, and a weird mouth. Oh my god, it's almost a thousand miles away from the smart, beautiful, passionate, and unrestrained Marian in the original book, and she's far from her sister alone. It's really bad, I don't feel the true feelings, it seems to be only contrived and abrupt, which seriously violates the original work! Other actors such as Edward are honestly very handsome and eye-catching, but unfortunately they are so handsome that they don't have Edward's dullness and cowardice. She is confident, especially when she just met Eleanor, she is too dashing, too confident, and seriously violates the original work. Winobi is also weird and not good-looking, but Ang Lee's version of Winoby is not good-looking, either. Probably because of the difference in aesthetics between China and the West. Others are also lackluster.
Secondly, there is the problem of the plot. Many plots are too abrupt and have no foreshadowing. The evaluation is simply inexplicable. Before filming what Edward did, Marianne suddenly talked to Elinor about him... There are many more, so I won't mention them in detail. There are also things that shouldn't be shown. For example, Edward insisted on marrying LUCY in front of his mother. Note that in the original book, the author only narrated this passage in the way of listening. It was Elinor and the others who heard this detail from others. If you say, then it may be exaggerated, maybe Edward didn't insist at all or something else. The author himself didn't have a certain segment. This film was made so stupidly, I'm speechless. Marianne The part of the rain is also inexplicable. It was obvious that the state he showed before was very stable, and suddenly he started to run around in the rain, just like the heroine of a Korean drama...
Finally, when it comes to the scenery, it's not bad. But it's far from the beauty in the original book. The villa of Baden is still built by the sea, KAO, I can only say that the director is too talented
