Renee Zweig really isn't pretty in this movie, but it naturally reminds me of a saying I don't know where I heard it: "All great female writers aren't very pretty" , I agree. Going to compare the preview of Jane Austen's biographical film that I saw earlier, Austen's role is actually the beautiful reporter in The Devil Wears Prada. Miss Zweig, who was a little fat, came more real.
Miss Potter's life is actually quite plain, at least from the point of view of the movie, there is only a small ups and downs in love when she was young, such ups and downs, compared with the turbulent life of many other writers (such as Virginia Woolf), it is really true. of nothing. When watching the movie, I kept thinking of Agatha Christie and Josephine Tiey, whom I am more familiar with. I always see very similar qualities in these British comfortable literary women writers, their sensitivity and intelligence, The always rich imagination is different from the innocent heart of ordinary people. But they don't care much about their writing career, and more, we see their attitude towards life. Miss Potter will raise her own pigs in the Lake District, do you believe it?
In the calm story, we finally have time to take a look at the horse-drawn carriages on the streets of ancient London, Hyde Park 100 years ago, the maids in middle-class families who love to eavesdrop on things, and children's books that are now sold in hard-covered hard shells at sky-high prices... Of course, there are also the wonderland-like water waves and mountains in the lake area. This is really a film that I am born to like. It contains the scenery I like and the attitude to life I like.
When, I really want to know when, BBC or wherever, make a biographical film of Agatha Christie. It is also a picturesque place to go to Devon, on the seaside in the south of England.
