Austen lived in a stagnant life without getting married. She did not have exotic travel, various entertainment, or even a decent and complete love. The stories she created mostly happened in narrow spaces such as the dance room, living room, bedroom, etc., but it was unique. Heart-stopping, boredom and monotony are not to be found in her stories, even as she lives a seemingly monotonous life. Life needs the passion of reading. If you can't save yourself, look at life again through the eyes of others.
Bernadette has been married six times and has experienced different lives. Among the six, she is always the most open-minded and optimistic, and has played a role in threading the needle. In fact, her story must be more magnificent, blood and tears, but we When I saw her, she had evolved into the invulnerable post-Austin era. She chose "Pride and Prejudice", the most sober and full of happiness. Sylvia and her husband Daniel have been married for 20 years and have three grown-up children. She thought she could live happily ever after in the eyes of the public, but when she arrived, she was reluctantly divorced from her husband by the mistress. The housewife dresses up outdated and conservative in thinking. In the end, what she can count on most is her children. She chose to read "Mansfield Manor". Fanny's endurance and humiliation paid attention to the overall situation. Finally, she was able to endure hardships because of her endurance. Under the subtle healing of Austen's novels, she finally has the courage to face real life alone. Sylvia's daughter, Allegra, an adventurous lesbian who was in a shaky relationship with her same-sex girlfriend when she read Sense and Sensibility, needed nothing between the book's two heroines. Retained understanding and love. Prada is a French teacher trapped in a weak marriage. She is stubborn, conservative, sensitive and arrogant. She likes to quote the scriptures to make a statement, but she puts herself in the quagmire of an extramarital affair with a student. It's the trouble of her life right now. Jocelyn is an older leftover girl at the level of "Equaling the Heavenly Leftovers". She is accompanied by a large group of purebred dogs all day long. The beginning of the story is the funeral she held for her beloved dog. Unsurprisingly, she plans to grow old with the dogs. Her attitude towards love is quite dispensable. In the new era of "Emma", she has been focusing on being a matchmaker for 20 years. Twenty years ago, she gave Daniel to Sylvia. Rigg pushed to the divorced Sylvia, and the gesture of rejecting love was even more decisive than Emma. The last person to join the book club was Greg, a new human being attracted by Jocelyn (Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo small teacup asking for marriage), and he accidentally chose "Northanger Abbey" full of bizarre gothic His style and teenage fantasies fit him well.
The Austin Book Club accompanied them through a difficult year. The original appearance of the story cannot be traced back. However, Austin's attitude towards life is still clearly visible. Sylvia's divorce life is very happy. In one year, she has matured and is very charming. , The final reconciliation with Daniel is actually irrelevant, she already has the ability to be happy alone in the marriage relationship. Allegra ended a deceitful and shameless relationship and soon plunged into a new relationship, gradually shifting from Marion's passion to Eleanor's rationality. Youth is resistant to fighting and falling. Fortunately, youth has given us a chance to come back. Prada was pulled back by Austin's choice on the verge of cheating with a student. Marriage should not be mindless entanglement and venting. The broken family at a young age and the pain of student days have shaped the self-stubborn self, but everyone needs to let go of their self-esteem. When seeking forgiveness and understanding, everyone has the right to be given another chance. Who knows if this time will be a happy ending? Jocelyn is finally willing to face up to the reality of love that is too late and full of uncertainties. Even though there are many lessons from the failure of marriage and love, life is boring, but everything has not yet come. Locking love out in advance today is not only an opposite. Rigg's injustice is also a surrender to life. Who can stop the beam of light that penetrates through the screen window?
At the end of the film, Sylvia's husband Daniel and Prada's husband Rudy also fell in love with Austen's novel, which is undoubtedly over-glamorized, but this may also represent the aspirations of the majority of female compatriots: if you understand Austen, you can also listen to it. Knowing the voice of a woman, didn't Greg become a friend of women just because he fell in love with Austen's novels? Find a bright spring day and read Austin together!
