Watching these two films together makes for a very interesting and intriguing comparison. And I personally thought that the two films should really swap the titles.
"Becoming Jane Austen" tells the story of a young girl who is full of longing for love. Her beautiful first love ended in a breakup due to various realities. Years later, the man still misses her. The old relationship is over, and the front line is difficult to continue. This is really like a kind of Jane Austen regret.
"Jane Austen's Regrets" shows a single woman who has died of youth and is suffering from illness, facing her family, past suitors and current admirers, her loneliness, sadness and persistence. This movie really explains how this unmarried woman has become Jane Austen, who is still loved by countless people 200 years later, by virtue of her six short love stories.
The former Austin, obsessed with her first love, Tom Le Foy, went to the latter Austin, but denied that it was her true love. For the former Austen, the deep-rooted first love, in the eyes of the latter Austen, was "I only felt sorry for it for five minutes, and then it disappeared."
"Being Jane Austen" is like a cup Orange juice, youthful and tender, sweet and slightly sour, still leaves a sweet and greasy feeling between the teeth and cheeks after tasting it.
"Jane Austen's Regrets" is a cup of tea, clear and indifferent, bitter and bitter. The taste of it has exhausted the truth of life, but it is still swallowed without any regrets. It is the calmness of one's choice. and no regrets.
A 40-year-old single woman, even today, still has to deal with stigma, let alone 200 years ago.
The eloquent, sharp and direct, witty and humorous when young, at such an age, will be regarded as vitriol, ridicule and contempt.
At such an age, everyone's words and expressions are vaguely reproachful and puzzled, and insisting on not getting married is secretly regarded as a move that jeopardizes the happiness of the whole family.
An important story line in the film is Austen's love interest for his niece. In historical fact, this Fanny is Austin's favorite niece. However, just like Fanny's incomprehension of her aunt in the movie, the real Fanny also made this evaluation of her aunt in a letter to her family: "If she lived another fifty years, then she would Only in terms of aspects can we match our more elegant preferences.” Such a bitter and indifferent evaluation comes from Austin's favorite caring junior, which is a kind of irony.
As a 40-year-old single woman, Austin still has not lost the desire and ability to love.
She has been lonely, hurt, and shaken, but she insists on believing in love - "I won't marry a man I don't love"; she refuses to sympathize - "You can be angry with me, but don't delusionally pity me"; She chose freedom - "Because of you, I chose freedom". This is how Jane became Jane Austen.
Austen's regret may be that she once had the opportunity to experience another life, another life that most women would enjoy, but she labored to choose another path, and she would not choose this for herself. regret in life.
"Becoming Jane Austen" is a beautiful fantasy, always revealing a halo of dreams, trying to comfort us with sweetness that Austen never married.
"The Regrets of Jane Austen" is on the psychological level, trying to get close to the Austen who once existed. Of course, we can't judge whether this is true or not, but it is convincing. Even if it is not the whole of reality, it is itself The meaning of it is still worth savoring for today's women.
