A Treat!

"No!" This is my little girl's answer when she heard me say to take her to the movie. I was very surprised and asked her why, but I didn't even say what movie to watch. She complained that all the movies I took her to the cinema were to take her to the sky, Gravity, Interstellar, Martian...

I was happy when I heard: I just heard that complaining brought people into the ditch, I never heard of complaining about bringing people to the sky, telling her that this movie was adapted from a novel by Jane Austen, and she readily accepted it. Jane Austen is her most recent favorite, now she is looking at Emma again, holding a paper book for a while, holding an iPad for a while, and listening to an audio book for a while, but I can still catch it.

I bought a ticket and bought popcorn Sprite and entered the theater. The theater is about to start. Almost two-thirds of the seats are filled. The audience composition is similar to that of the symphony. Many old men and old ladies are dragged by old ladies? There are also four or five beautiful middle-aged women sitting in a row. Is it time for group activities for best friends? Seeing Amazon Studio on the screen, I thought to myself that Amazon is really profitable and profitable, but there is still a question of how much such a film can make. Kate Beckinsale appeared. It is estimated that people who are used to the female warriors in Underworld, it is difficult to connect her and the role at once. In fact, she played Emma 20 years ago. The novel describes Lady Susan: She is delicately fair, with fine grey eyes and dark eyelashes; and from her appearance one would not supposed her more than five and twenty. Although Kate is over forty years old, she can afford these few descriptions.

There was laughter in the whole movie theater, especially after Sir James Martin appeared on stage, the little girl giggled after hearing the twelve commandments: I am not a Christian, I know it is the Ten Commandments! Hearing Tiny green balls, she laughed: He didn't know it was pea? I have to turn sideways to make her quieter. After watching it, I walked to the cafe next to me. I asked for a cup of coffee, bought her a cup of hot chocolate and marble cake, and asked her, "Do you like this movie?" She said that although it was fun, the whole movie had no point. I said: "Movies and novels must have points? Then what is the point of Emma you are watching now?" "If you think too well of yourself, you will have a downfall!", she replied. It would rather sum up the central idea. I chatted with her about the creation process of this novel.

The story of a beautiful middle-aged widow and a handsome young single man in the movie takes place in Jane Austen’s own home. Jane's brother Henry is a handsome man who graduated from Oxford, Eliza de Feuillide is a cousin, and the aristocratic husband returned to England after being guillotined in France. The difference is that Eliza is quite rich. At first, Jane liked the maverick and elegant Eliza, but knew that the two might be opposed after getting married. She also knew that she was unable to change, so she said in the novel through Lady Susan's mouth: I have never yet found that the advice of a Sister could prevent a young Man's being in love if he chose it.

After chatting for a while, the little girl still insisted on her opinion and said she didn't like the movie. I said you will change your mind when you are older. She insisted that she would not. I had to say to her: Well, one half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other. The little girl gave me a white look, knowing that I was quoting Austin again. An old lady who had just watched the movie sat down and watched us with a smile.

In the end, two sentences are summarized: Lady Susan, as a not-so-not-so-long letter novel, can be published behind her, so that we can see all the characteristics of her later six novels. Jane Austen was already at the age of twenty. He is an out-and-out genius. This film is quite successful among many film and television adaptations based on Austen's novels. The director did not fully follow the original work, but also made a difference. Maugham said that one of the characteristics of "Pride and Prejudice" is entertaining, and this movie is also, commented with the title of "The Guardian": A treat!
