good thing there is a movie

Quickly read Jane Austen's more influential novels, including "Pride and Prejudice", "Sense and Sensibility", "Persuasion", "Northanger Abbey" and "Mansfield Park" and "Being Jane Austen" Sting, etc. "Pride and Prejudice" is mainly about the story from misunderstanding to true love between Elizabeth and Darcy; "Reason" tells the different ways of dealing with love between Marianne and Alita; "Persuasion" tells the story of Anne's relationship with the one she met eight years ago. The story of the man who betrayed because of true love; Northanger Abbey is a bit gothic and tells the story of how Catherine met true love in high society, and I think Henry actually chose her over her Choosing Henry, women are not plump in this story, and they are a little naive. Maybe Austen wants to reflect the characteristics of various people rather than Catherine himself; "Mansfield Manor" mainly tells how cousin Fanny got from Being seduced by Miss London and discovering that she really loves Fanny, personal love plays a big part in the story.


From these works, there are roughly several characteristics: 1. The contradiction between class status and the pursuit of true love is the main line of the story. From the main line, the characteristics of various characters are drawn, showing the appearance of the entire social group at that time and so on. Characters generally have a strong identity with class status, and the binary opposition between characters such as money worshipers and those who pursue true love. People who pursue true love are generally divided into three categories: wise (Elizabeth, Alita, Anne, etc.), gentle or innocent (Jane, Catherine, Fanny), warm and active (Marianne, Elizabeth's elopement little sister) , forget the name). I was impressed by Henry's father who threw her out in a fit of rage after knowing Catherine's true identity; Thorpe's sister who was addicted to money and vain; Elizabeth and Jane's mother who wanted them to marry well; Annie's father, who values ​​class, status and money very much and is headstrong. For me, my personal favorite is Alita in "Rea". She is very rational, gentle, and mature. She can be friends with someone who is considered a "rival in love", and her love is affected by a man's engagement. Lose, but also calmly bear; in pain, but also comfort the sister who is also brokenhearted; she will bury or forget the pain, treat everyone kindly, and always remember the benefits and advantages of others, I think, such a person should live every day It is very pleasant and gentle, and good luck will naturally come to patronize. Sure enough, in the end, everyone is happy. Although it is a novel, if there are such people in reality, I believe that there will be a good result. Elizabeth in "Pride", although I like it very much, but even if she is neither humble nor arrogant, she is still a bit sharp, and can't achieve true inner peace (by the way, after watching "Becoming Jane Austen", I feel that Elizabeth has something in her. Jane Austen's Shadow). The other character, Jane, is more submissive than rational in comparison. Maybe the movie doesn't focus too much on this character, so I'm not as attracted to the character of Alita in "Rea".

2. The environmental space is small, and it is basically a story that takes place in two or three cities or less than two manors. It is mainly about love, and the scenes are life-like. The general plot includes dances, dinners, outings, visits, painting and playing the piano, etc. Scenarios appear, and the story is advanced in these scenarios. It’s okay to watch one-act dramas. If you watch a lot of stories that are presented in this way, you will feel the same and bland. However, some of the characters have very wise dialogues. Compared with the comprehensiveness of official dialogues and diplomatic speeches, the most memorable thing is that the colors of the British dramas shot by the BBC are so elegant and beautiful. The colors of the characters' clothes always match the environment softly, making people The more I look at it, the more I like it. As far as I am concerned, I feel that compared with Zhang Yimou's "Hero" or Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the former is more like a gouache painting with appropriate shades, with a sense of cohesion and elegance, and then The tone of the two presents a watercolor feeling, and Ang Lee's seems to have a more wet painting feel.


3. In fact, these novels should really be read in high school. I am seven years late, and the shock to high school students should be very big, because they inevitably talk about some realistic places, or read them a few years earlier to understand better. How to deal with life; but looking at it after seven years, I feel that everything is inevitable, and I don't have much thought. It can be said that life is unbearable.
