It's the word flirt again. The film takes that word very seriously, and Jane takes it very seriously. The topic of Sense and Sensibility popped into my head a few times. Although some people say that Elinor is showing a kind of repression of emotions, I think that on Jane's side, there are more things that Cassandra taught her, which is to calm down and love, to feel every fluctuation of her emotions. Then tell yourself what that is. "Fanny, listen to your own heart now." It is this calm that creates a rational immersion in self-emotion. Or rather a control. There are times when people get out of control, and Jane thinks back to her 20s with Tom, as if to say, "Oh, how bad it was for me to be like this." She felt like she was out of control. They were young then. I don't know why I think of Zweig. The strong influence of emotion or lust on a person often becomes the theme of his novels. These unguarded or irresistible people are captured and played with one by one. The British society at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century involved more of a question of survival and life: whether to survive, or to truly live the life you love. "It's an old topic."
Burn your own past. Jane's advice to Cassandra was sensible. There must be all kinds of frivolity, enthusiasm, and intoxication in the letter, telling the love that the girl thinks is love or the momentary happiness of a middle-aged woman, all kinds of emotions she doesn't want to have after the event. I wonder if she has ever really loved in her life, or she keeps writing about love without knowing what love is in reality. None of the men with whom her life has come together understand her, and neither do I, but I understand her love for freedom. Maybe one day I will face a choice similar to Jane's. At that time, the most important thing is what Jane said.
She understands that life is only once, and it is so short. She stood up from the chair, how unwilling she was when the pain suddenly grabbed her.
Speaking of actors, Olivia Williams' Jane is convincing. The actor gave me a very good impression before, and I feel that the performance is in place and very deep. Cassandra didn't make much sense to me, but with Olivia Williams it didn't feel like sisters. Fanny looks decent. At first, she felt like a headless little girl, but at her wedding after Jane died, she seemed a lot more mature, and she seemed more peaceful and calm in the face of happiness. The last shot she gave her recalling Jane was the most beautiful shot of Fanny.
I also like the soundtrack, the piano rises and falls with complex emotions.
It felt as if it was a step further with Jane.
