Just like the usual style of the BBC series, the beauty shown in this film is still the unforgettable passion and sentimentality under the surface of the subtle and calm surface.
****The dividing line of irrelevant nonsense****
The reason why the 2005 movie version of Pride and Prejudice is not popular with Jane Austen fans is because it completely loses its subtle elegance and irony The bitterness of the reality behind the joke has become the title of a novel, supporting the story of the novel, but the soul is completely different.
Friends are often surprised to say that you actually like to watch romance movies, as if I like such movies with monotonous plots, and most of them don’t have such elaborate layouts, and they don’t seem to be so profound and broad. And when I say occasionally that Jane Austen is actually one of my favorite authors, Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre were my bedside books for more than ten years until I left home for school, they were more likely to shake Nodding, and then showing a meaningful smile.
Yes, I never deny that I can't see the values that love comes first and think it's just right, let alone the little happiness and romance of little girls who get bored to death. However, I love to watch pure and simple romance films with a slow rhythm. I love to watch the mutual destruction before becoming a couple, and I love to watch the pain of resignation and repression, and I am willing to be healed by the wishful happy end that will inevitably come again and again.
In fact, the so-called classical love dramas, if only the outline of the story is left, most of them follow a few mature routines. The story is either ABC or BCA. What the author has done is to make arrangements and combinations in such a limited number of possibilities. In the little stories of rural love, it is even difficult to blatantly add elements of the changing times. Except for the tea party and dance, there are only secret conversations in the boudoir and gossip in the countryside.
In fact, just as people who despise them say, most of these romance dramas don't have any big plots, and it should even be said that they don't even care about earth-shattering events and heart-piercing love-hate relationships on the table. The blood of Qiu and Qiuqi ends. Most of them are just talking about feelings, adding some money and status, generally no sex, and sometimes not even love - such as Zhang Ailing sometimes, the biggest thing is to add life and death time and space, but only to the level of Titanic , It is as profound as a love letter to life, and it is pitiful. Moreover, in fact, love letters are no longer a classical love drama.
For me, their greatest charm is not the storyline of who is entangled with who and who is secretly entangled with whom, who is eloping with whom, who is disgraced and who succeeds in cultivation. what part. They attract me, is the taste of subtle forbearance, the passion under the water. Forbearance is a charming heart-wrenching force.
****Finally thought of returning to the main topic and cherishing life and staying away from the dividing line of spoilers****
The plot of "Beautiful Lady" can only be counted in the middle.
The beginning is quite satisfactory, and the development of the middle story is somewhat beyond the expectations of the audience who have not touched the original work because of the appearance of my sister. What an earth-shattering innovation. The ending can be said to be a bit bad. The Happy end twisted 180 degrees in a short period of time is really wishful thinking, and the strange exclamation about catching up with the good times is a bit inexplicable. Hearing that the author passed away before the end of the book, it is no wonder that the screenwriters continued such a strange tail in good faith.
Speaking of character building, it may not be so brilliant.
Molly's opening is a little different from the less likable childishness of the average heroine, but from the appearance of her sister Cynthia, she has completely become the embodiment of good character. Roger is, from start to finish, a perfect son, perfect brother, and perfect husband, except for a frivolous love that's dazzled by beauty -- and it's perfectly reasonable. The father, the stepmother, the two old girls, and the nobles were all directly poured out of ready-made molds, and Lady Harriet, who caught everyone's glimpse, was more of an actor's bonus.
The bright spots are probably eldest brother Osborne, sister Cynthia and passerby Preston.
To be honest, Osborne was the one that surprised me the most. In fact, at the beginning of the story, I saw the two brothers appearing and I knew that there was an important heroine. I thought it was going to be a pair of brothers. Add a pair of sisters' subtle four corners. Unexpectedly, Osborne has not yet joined the battlefield of flirting, and announced that he is a secret married body and will not change until his death. However, this elder brother was really weak and miserable from start to finish, but the opening chapter was a bit of a bluff.
Cynthia is real. This kind of woman who can't be affectionate, powerless and true love, who is constantly empathetic, will regret later, cheats, and has a spare tire. I don't know whether to say that the temperament is frank or not qualitative. Many of them are not as callous and ruthless as the victims say they are deliberately playing with others. As a close female friend, although I don't agree with their emotional willfulness, I still have to admit that I love these children. Among the beautiful women, Cynthia was not simply labeled negative, but she was portrayed as a girl who was willful and weak, but people didn't know how to blame and could only sigh. Personally, it was very good.
As for Preston, in fact, his modeling ideas are quite modern for this show. He is good at financial management, but not the talent that the era valued, nor the status and educated behavior that the era valued more. Also, he really isn't likable. It was an extreme way of expressing love in those days, and a not-so-bright coercion. But when I saw the stack of letters that came back, and saw the back of Cynthia riding away alone in a completely unintentional glance in ecstasy, at least, I was touched by him.
Yes, the film Splendid Beauty makes me love, it is its share of forbearance love, let go, silently hide it in my heart and keep it for myself.
I personally think that the most touching thing about this film is the first love that is unrequited but cannot be obtained.
Molly and Roger started out as simple childhood sweethearts. They have common interests, common topics, understand and appreciate each other, and neither of them realize that this relationship may lead to the end of love. Until Roger fell in love with his beautiful sister at first sight, and fell madly in love with such a woman who didn't know his value at all and was not worthy of his sincere feelings. Molly, on the other hand, realizes her love too late in the unconscious competition.
As a result, with the older sister he loves on one side, and the one who has already loved him so much that he can't see anything and only sees himself as a younger sister, Molly doesn't even have the position to express her feelings. If my sister and him truly love each other, I will bless them, but my sister is just casually acting like a show, and she simply issued a spare tire card and made the other party ecstatic. So, while Molly wanted to listen to her sister's capricious love talk, she wanted to cover up her love. So emotional depression, precipitation, fermentation, tormented her without seeing the light of day.
This is an unforgettable and moving feeling, but it could not have ended well if it wasn't for the sudden kindness of the screenwriter.
Personally, I really liked the scene of farewell in the rain. The two were separated by this distance. There was no movement, no exaggerated language and expressions. In the pouring rain, to the incoherent Roger, Molly answered simply and firmly, yes. That scene is really unreal in reality, but it is very moving.
Another unrequited love that touched me was Preston. In fact, whether this relationship can be regarded as his first love depends entirely on the definition of first love. But it was definitely his first and probably the only love so unforgettable.
In his ordinary daily life, he gradually fell in love with an uncarved 15-year-old girl who naturally showed her true side. And at the banquet she was well-dressed to attend, her appearance was so charming and naturally exuding a charming atmosphere. So he fell in love at once, he proposed, he endured her complete confidentiality policy, endured her deliberate distancing and ignorance, endured her flirting with countless suitors and open-minded empathy, and he rejected several beautiful The chance of marriage waited eagerly for her to fulfill her promise as women of that era did. In the end, however, she just saw him as a short-lived and beautiful encounter when the love was first opened. She said I was just tied up with the money you lent me and you can't threaten me like a rogue. She also said, I hate you.
However, this man did not ruthlessly destroy the reputation and future of his beloved woman. When he clearly saw that there was no possibility of recovery, he just looked at her window alone and silently. left on horseback.
Well, I'll admit, it's probably a matter of substitution, the film plucked a certain string of mine deeply and precisely, so while it didn't end perfectly, I loved it.
So, I want to see the North and South, alas.
