Pride and Prejudice: We Still Need Fairy Tales

I have always refused to watch "Pride and Prejudice" because I think it's a Cinderella story. The male protagonist is rich, arrogant, gentle, and devoted. Isn't this a domineering president? This kind of story is enough to read as a child, and after the age of 20, it is immune. So to see this movie, I really just want to be social. But after seeing what happened to crying, I thought it wasn't because I entered menopause early, because it was really touching. The subject matter is so narrow, the story of Cinderella and the domineering president is so cliché, they hated each other at first (actually they fell in love at first sight), parting in the middle, reunion, misunderstanding, parting, reunion, each of which is familiar, but Mr. Darcy's stare at Elizabeth , his figure walking in the morning mist in the distance, tall, handsome, and affectionate, is a moving and unique temperament outside the storyline. We need fairy tales after all, whether it's 1813, when Jane Austen wrote this book, or 2018, when love has been distrusted. In fact, I admire such a simple love movie. I don't know how to express love on the screen for a long time, and I know that love will not have any tricks. No one can just talk about love for 120 minutes, so love movies are replaced by messy comedies, or Insert a little suspenseful plot. So "Pride and Prejudice" is still precious. 13 years ago, it was still possible to talk about a cheesy love.

After watching the movie, Xiao Qi, the organizer, said that from here, you can see the night view of Jing’an from the outside. We are on the 22nd floor. Looking out, Jing’an Temple and Jiuguang Department Store are not that big. A fancy Shanghai, a person who still has expectations for love.
