Compared with the
BBC's P&P TV series, the plot perfectly reproduces the original work. Only a TV series of more than 5 hours can better express the development of feelings, and the director and screenwriter did not change the script casually.
Let’s analyze it in order. At the beginning of the dance, the scene where Darcy, Bentley and his sister appeared was probably the scene of a noble person coming to a country dance. Everyone was flattered and stopped, and then the tide gave way. , what I saw from the eyes of the first few extras was not flattery, but fear. Could it be that the aura of the nobles is really that strong, but this aura disappeared 1 second after the introduction of the three actors. What are you guys doing dancing? The prom scene seems to have been shot in a symmetrical way. The prom is messier than the bbc version, although I think this may be more in line with the original description of a country dance. The dancing skills of everyone seemed to be much different from the old version. Bentley and Jane laughed like fools when they danced, and they seemed to have stepped on the wrong step. Then Darcy and Elizabeth watched, and Elizabeth took the initiative to ask Darcy if she wanted to dance and was rejected. Then I went to dance by myself. If I remember correctly, Bentley should introduce the two to dance but refused. In the new version, what Elizabeth wants to show is probably Darcy's arrogance with practical actions, and even the chance of her own offer will be completely irrelevant. Do not hesitate to refuse. At this moment, according to Darcy's expression, it is true that I see that kind of embarrassment in a crowded place, but Darcy is still too melancholy, or is that expression a stomachache? Back at the ball, a later conversation between Darcy and Bentley's sister, Elizabeth, Elizabeth's mother involves Jane's ex-suit, Darcy asks Elizabeth's point of view on love, looking like he's been from this time I fell in love with Elizabeth. In fact, there is absolutely nothing in the original book to have a favorable impression of her. The first tit-for-tat between the two at the dance paved the way for Darcy's liking for Elizabeth's independence, but the mutual favorability between the two at that time was 0.
Tight Then, the handling of Jane and Elizabeth's boudoir secrets after the ball showed that Elizabeth was too cunning and too expressive in terms of dialogue. At this time, Jane's performance was okay, but she was quiet but lacking in opinion and weakness. There is another thunder point in the back. Although I know this is not some kind of room talk, the two sisters are giggling in the quilt, causing the sheets to shake or something, and then the camera is pulled out of the window. . The above is a joke, but it's not right.
After that, Jane was invited to be a guest on a rainy day. When Elizabeth appeared in front of Darcy and sister Bingley like a chicken, the embarrassed but unyielding expression she should have shown was like "I'm very happy. , what do you do with me?" expression. Elizabeth went upstairs to see her sister. At this time, the idiot-like Bentley appeared and said a very stupid word. Although Bentley is a weak person, the appearance of the idiot's wording and Elizabeth's expression like a joke are really Unforgivable.
What followed was the scene of the legion entering the town, and the two younger sisters ran over to see the officer. There was a scene of chasing pigs in a room before. To be honest, I read other film reviews and said that this scene truly reflects the scene that should be in this class family back then, but what I don't understand is that this scene once again strengthens Elizabeth. His father's figure like an alcoholic, turned slowly to answer the elated mother's self-inference about Bentley and Jane gossip. In the original work, the role of the father is a reasonable old gentleman. He has the majesty of the head of the family and at the same time, because of his status as a country gentleman, he will behave improperly in some occasions, but he can still be a gentleman in general, but the performance here is a The image of a sloppy old man with sloppy clothes and bald hair with messy hair, when the pig passed by, I once regarded him as a pig herd!
The camera turned back to Bentley's country house. When Darcy and Elizabeth were arguing about the "six women", Bentley laughed idiotically. It is understandable that the director's request was probably for Bentley to play the role of a good man to ease their relationship. The conflict between them, but obviously the task that a few giggles can accomplish is the contempt of the high-IQ people around, which of course the movie will not show. Then there was the scene where Sister Bingley invited Elizabeth to walk around the room and quarreled with Darcy by the way. I never knew what this kind of walk in the room was for. I thought they were walking a little too fast. I paused several times when I was interrupting the speech, which made me feel not calm, but that the actor forgot the words. This part should have been Darcy writing a letter without raising his head and then arguing with the two ladies smoothly. It seems that here Darcy racked his brains to figure it out, and what was even more unforgivable was that Bentley's foolish laughter was heard in the middle.
Presumably they thought bickering was boring too, and at this time the remaining four ladies of the Bennett family came. It's not apparent from the movie that Elizabeth has been here for a few days, and the arrival of the 4 ladies looks as if Elizabeth came right after. I have to admit that this scene is very interesting. From the arrival of the waiter newspaper ladies to the satisfied "hum~" issued by the four ladies sitting on the luxurious sofa, finally there is a good shot... The frivolity or dullness of several ladies or The vulgar language is still very good to restore the original, but this paragraph does not seem to appear in the original, it is inserted in other scenes.
There is a detail below, Elizabeth went home, Darcy supported her hand when she got into the carriage, and then quickly let go and walked away, there is a close-up view of him stretching his hand, this scene is also seen by Elizabeth in the carriage arrive. This section seems to show that Darcy didn't want Elizabeth to leave, so he held her hand, but he seemed to be just helping her into the car in a gentleman's manner. He didn't understand what that gesture of stretching his hand meant, and missed the touch of his hand? Acting as if he was holding something he shouldn't be holding.
The camera returns to Bennett's house again, and Collins is coming for dinner in the evening. The original Collins is a fat middle-aged priest with a flattering face, but when he is facing someone lower than himself, he looks arrogant. Thought the old version of Collins was quite good, both physically and verbally well behaved, and also displayed a laughable little person behavior. This version of Collins, watching him laugh because of his height, is a little too small to stand with both men and women.
The following is the appearance of The Weeknd. This actor has a 9-point similarity to Orlando Bloom, and is basically printed out of a mold. Personally, I feel handsome enough but not cunning enough, and there is no sense of suaveness. I think he is more suitable to play the officer who has been by Wicken's side in the old version, of course, if it is the officer, you can't find such a handsome actor.
Wickon and the Bennett daughters ran into Darcy and Bentley when they were playing. Here Darcy didn't greet Wickon indifferently, but turned around and left. This phenomenon should have been noticed by Elizabeth alone. Several girls have noticed that the director's failure is that the meeting between Darcy and Wicken should be handled a little longer rather than simply showing the two-phase disgust of Wicken and Darcy. Next, it turns to Wicken explaining his relationship with Darcy to Elizabeth. The director's handling is to switch between the two's single shots, which saves a lot of trouble, and the audience loses half of the opportunity to observe Wicken's lying expression. If a piece is performed with a long shot, it should be a test of acting skills. Under the director's treatment, we saw that Elizabeth looked up at Wicken like a nympho, showing white teeth. There was no contradiction in the description of the original book. Although she did stand on Wycan's side at the time, it was just like later. As Elizabeth confided to Jane, she thought about why a gentleman like Darcy treated Wicken like this. Wicken's shot has him reminiscing about old Darcy, where he pauses and then turns his eyes away to find a word, then stares at Elizabeth and tells a series of lies without changing his face. Originally attentive Elizabeth, if there is a shot of her in this segment, her smirk should be changed a bit, but she can not be given the shot. When the camera turns to Elizabeth, she still has a smirk on her face...
Here is the second dance, Elizabeth She agreed to Darcy's request to dance, and then she ran to Charlotte at a loss and said that she didn't know why she agreed, a typical dog-blood romance, if I remember correctly, it should have been Bentley's repeated requests for the next two. Dancing not far away. By the way, here is a very funny part of Collins trying to get Darcy's attention. He and Darcy shouted twice, but Darcy didn't hear it, and then coughed and the venue was quiet...
Here is the scene of Collins' proposal. , It seems that Collins is very embarrassed and feels that he is not worthy of Elizabeth. The actor's lines are very smooth, but his eyes never look at Elizabeth. Of course, he does not mention his tragic height and the proposal is kneeling... That Collins feel-good feeling doesn't feel right at all.
The next scene is Jane overwhelmed by a letter from Bentley going back to town, noticing that they are sitting on the stairs, the two lively sisters are sitting on the higher stairs feeling doing what a 5 or 6 year old girl should do game……
Next, Charlotte made a special trip to tell Elizabeth the news of their engagement, and the two almost quarrelled without saying a word. Originally, Elizabeth should have congratulated her. She should have guessed Charlotte's meaning almost as soon as she got the news. The movie shows a completely irrational complaint that Charlotte has no vision and the two broke up unhappily.
The following is a narration, followed by Elizabeth visiting the Collins couple, met Lady Catherine home, the bathroom The Collins couple invited Elizabeth to visit with them, the couple sang and kept praising Lady Catherine for her magnanimity, Elizabeth dressed plainly, but Lady Catherine would forgive everything, Charlotte seems to have been completely married.
The castle of Mrs. Catherine below is another history of blood and tears. First of all, I have nothing to say about Judi Dench's acting skills, but the image is a tragedy. Mrs. Catherine should be a graceful and arrogant old lady. There are only six words left in it. The last arrogance is still there. Judi Dench's messy gray hair is horrible... In this section, Darcy clearly began to protect Elizabeth, so the performance of Darcy in the subsequent plots will not be overdone.
About the next day, Darcy ran to sponsor Elizabeth of the Collins family and estimated that she was about to propose marriage and was disturbed by Charlotte. The old version does not seem to have this paragraph. Then Collins was preaching in the church. Elizabeth and Darcy's friend were sitting together and knew that Darcy had prevented Bingley from seeing Jane. Then Elizabeth ran outside in the rain, and then the marriage proposal section. . Probably the director thought of the old version where Darcy came out of the pond to greet him with a wet body, but the new version put it here to propose, and the wet body became two. This part is still good, but because I haven't read the original work, I can't compare it with the original work, but I feel that this part is a rare part of the new version that is not too much. ...the last paragraph I almost thought Darcy was going to kiss Elizabeth, but she stared into Elizabeth's eyes and apologized for wasting time...
Since then, Elizabeth began to be in a daze, knowing that Darcy touched her inexplicably from the afternoon to the night. An explanation letter was shoved to her in her room. It is necessary to say that the adaptation is very strange. Darcy can touch his house in Collins at midnight. In addition, the director seems to have changed many scenes to midnight, which will be discussed later.
When Elizabeth returned home, she told her father not to let her sister enter the city to see the officer, but of course it failed. This is probably the reason for the camera. Elizabeth's father is sitting on a chair, and Yili is sitting on something that is half shorter than the chair. The placement of her legs is like sitting on the edge of the bed, forming a kind of clear distinction between high and low. The pose of a child listening to an adult telling a story.
In the evening, Elizabeth dreamed that she was standing on the Cliff's jacket fluttering, but the surrounding things from the clouds to the grass didn't move. It was an obvious computer CG scene. People who didn't know it thought she was going to jump off a cliff. People who knew she couldn't dance guessed what she was thinking, but failed.
Finally, Elizabeth and her uncle and aunt went to visit Darcy's territory. At first, she and her uncle and aunt were in the same place as the tropical rain forest. I thought I had crossed this section. After entering and visiting, it is the first major thunder point of the play. In the old version, the wet meeting between the two was among the top 100 classic screen shots. In the new version, the meeting between the two in the villa will be weakened a lot. Elizabeth went to peep... I wonder if it was okay for the nobles at that time. Open, how to open. But the most shocking are those statues. According to the customs at that time, the portraits hanging at home are usually the family members of the ancestors who are still alive. This custom seems to have continued to the present. I often see the corridor walls of European and American homes in movies and TV. There are pictures hanging all over the table, and there will be a dense pile of scary pictures on the table. But the statues in the movie are unforgivable. The whole corridor has become a museum. All the statues are in Greek style. The graceful and plump body is the characteristics of that kind of statues. Standing neatly among the many naked statues... I forgot to mention that the director looked at the scene of the veiled statue with an Elizabethan expression. I don't know what this scene is showing. The dome of the house is also The Renaissance-style frescoes did create a sense of grandeur, but it felt a little too much. This kind of grandeur was better used in Darcy's aunt's house. I don't think the Darcy brothers and sisters have such a poor artistic taste.
Darcy and Elizabeth's aunt and uncle met in the evening, and did not want Elizabeth to know, but she saw it. This part of Darcy completely touched the heart of the uncle and aunt...
Of course, after the uncle and aunt preached, Elizabeth's favor for Darcy reached a new height.
The next day Darcy introduced Elizabeth and his sister to know each other, plus the previous villa section, this was a turning point for the relationship between the two to obviously improve, and they acted like a family.
Because of watching the edited version, after Darcy invited his uncle to go fishing, he jumped to Elizabeth to receive Jane's letter about Lydia's elopement. This part was scheduled for the evening again, and Darcy was also fidgeting when Elizabeth walked around, but it felt that the actor was acting a bit contrived. Darcy left immediately after knowing it, and the words he said before leaving had to admit that it sounded like he was about to get rid of the relationship.
The new version does not show Darcy's search for The Wickon, but this is due to time.
The camera turned directly to the scene of a group of daughters comforting the bedridden mother, and I felt that this shot from far to near was a failure: a shot of Xiangguang, a group of white-clothed daughters circled the bedridden mother, a large window of light shrouded everyone, some The illusion that the mother is going to die, if it weren't for the mother shouting about the horrible consequences of her imagination, this scene has a feeling of being greeted by the archangel of Les Miserables Jean Valjean ascended to heaven. In this episode, Elizabeth was absent-minded, looking at her mother with a feeling of resentment.
Once again, the timeline was shortened, and the letter from uncle came immediately. Of course, the mother immediately jumped out of bed to celebrate that a daughter was getting married. Then Lydia and Wicken came to dinner in the carriage, both of them were married... The time reduction is necessary, but compared to the previous large space, this paragraph is very shortened. It seems that Lydia has been chatting at the dinner table all the time and then teasing out that Darcy attended the wedding, but this time Darcy was not the best man, this is different from the old version, the old version Darcy just grabbed Wicken and made him take the oath as if to prevent him run away. The new chattering Lydia knows that Darcy has done everything for them, thank you! (—I am surprised by this, this is through Lydia later saying that Darcy is sometimes not half as arrogant as Elizabeth, and it can be seen that she has a good impression of Darcy, although I have to say that it is probably because Darcy is out. money to help them organize weddings, etc.), and also showing off (I really don’t know how the director can put two feelings of gratitude and showing off on Lydia alone) and said to Elizabeth in the same way, this is different from the old version, The old version of Lydia was almost in a state of ignorance. Except for seeing the big joy at the hotel where she and Wickon were staying, Darcy and Wicken should have made a deal behind Lydia's back.
The rest was Bentley to propose, and Darcy's proposal came later, and there was nothing wrong with it, except that Lady Catherine came to question Elizabeth in the middle of the night, and unlike the old version, she didn't call Elizabeth out and just closed the door. No matter if there are a bunch of eavesdroppers out there. Judging from the middle of the night and not asking Elizabeth to go out alone, the old lady has completely lost her demeanor. Darcy met Elizabeth who was also wandering in the wilderness at dawn to complete the proposal. Anyway, these timings show that the film is romantic enough to restore the original book is seriously insufficient.
The version I saw ended with Elizabeth's father hoping that the remaining daughter would find a good family.
It was the full version of two people kissing, but fortunately I did not see, or is tenrai.
People compare
the previous reading novels, first said Darcy, then see the old version that has been in love Darcy poker face, I don't have this feeling, but after reading the old version, I know that embarrassed by strangers is this kind of performance. However, the old version lacked embarrassment, and the new version of Darcy is too full of this and the performance is weak. Judging from the appearance, the weak one should be Mr. Bingley, but judging from the situation, Darcy looked melancholy, and even when he said that Elizabeth's beauty was not enough to impress him, he was not arrogant but deliberately knowing that Elizabeth was in It's like being angry with her next to her, which is also related to the director's camera arrangement.
Colin Firth's version of Darcy's embarrassment has a lot to do with his clothes. I remember it clearly is the kind of stiff collar, plus his big face... It gives people a feeling that the neck is inconvenient, and whenever he speaks, it is a mouth movement. Keep it as small as possible, with as little expression as possible. The advantage of this is that once there is a slight emotional change, it can be reflected on the face of poker.
The clothes of the new version of Darcy are also a bit bloated. I believe that the actors are not fat, but I always feel that the clothes of the new version are much more casual. Being a gentleman seemed awkward. In fact, I was quite satisfied with Elizabeth compared to the new version of Darcy. Except for the inexplicable melancholy, the overall performance was not out of the ordinary, but it seemed that he fell in love at the first meeting.
Besides, Elizabeth, Keira Knightley is really not suitable for this role. In terms of body shape, although it is not the most important, she is not suitable for this kind of ancient costume, a complete airport, and such a figure could not be married in that era. Her performance is too flamboyant, thinking of the rebellious role in "Atonement" is suitable for her, and if she gains another 15 pounds, the role played by Winslet in "Sense and Sensibility" is also more suitable for her than Elizabeth. Although Elizabeth is independent, she is not rebellious. Generally speaking, she is a lady with independent thoughts. Now Elizabeth has become a rational Lydia, more like a 2-point Lydia and a 4-point Ellie in "Sense and Sensibility" A mix of Noah and 4 points Marian.
Bentley... This is the biggest tragedy. Although the old version of the Bentley also looked stupid, but after reading the new version, I realized that there are even more stupid Bentleys... The original Bentley has a more lively character than Darcy and has no air. , Cheerful is right, but in fact, it is also a character that is similar to a good-natured man with introverted emotions. Bentley has become a silly boy here... Recently I watched jeeves and wooster, the EQ and IQ of the wooster played by hugh laurie are probably different from the Bentley here, but the wooster is not as soft as the Bentley.
Jane, the Jane in my mind is the unassertive version of Eleanor in "Sense and Sensibility". This actor is actually okay, but indeed, it is too simple. Especially when put together with a super strong Elizabeth, it becomes a maid...
Lydia, similar to the old version, but more lively, and generally less flat, from the words on the table after marriage Said, it felt like reciting lines, too deliberate, that paragraph did not slip out of the mouth, as if it had to be said.
The Weeknd, has already been analyzed in the plot analysis.
Elizabeth's father has also analyzed it, and there is no manners at all, and the squire is portrayed as a tavern owner.
