Emma Campus Light-Hi Edition Adapted from the Masterpiece

It’s interesting to watch youth films adapted from famous books, because in general, you don’t see them as adaptations from the title. After the plot is modernized, it always makes you feel familiar and unspeakable until you suddenly correspond to the original. , An unremarkable popcorn movie suddenly has a sense of archaeology. There are 10 things I hate you for this type that are adapted from Shakespeare’s Taming the Shrew, and Selfie is a lady adapted from a flower seller (or a pretty lady). Emma is my favorite Jane Austen's work, but I didn't realize it at all when I first watched Clueless, because the heroine's name was changed to Cher! The introduction of the film is about the heroine transforming the second girl and making the second girl more popular than herself. I watched with this expectation, and when I saw the transformation of the second girl was completed, I was puzzled: the second girl still looks stupid and unsightly.

The first time I had the strange feeling of deja vu was when the heroine cher wanted to introduce Elton to the second girl. Elton~Elton~How does it sound so familiar? It wasn't until Elton eagerly confessed to the heroine Cher in the car, and said that a bunch of female two are not worthy of him, and that he and Cher are a pair of crazy things, I suddenly realized: this is not the self-righteous silly fork in Emma Pastor Elton? In this case, Cher's picture of the second female is matched with Emma's picture of Harriet. At this time, recalling that at the beginning, Cher's plot of matching two teachers also matched with Emma's plot of matching his own governess and neighbor's old man.

In this way, Knightley should be Cher's brother. This German orthopedic setting makes me feel a bit speechless, but Paul Rudd is quite temperamental and demeanor, watching the heroine look spoiled.

According to the direction of the original, the second female should fall in love with the second male after Elton, and that is the gay. The plots of heroes who saved the beauty corresponding to the original work are all there, but the following is missing. It is estimated that it was cut by the director later. But at this time I knew that Harriet would definitely be with Martin, because that's how the original book was written. From the plot point of view, this film is forcibly adapted. If you haven't read the original, you will feel that the plot development is simply illogical and inexplicable. The title of Clueless I guess is that the screenwriter was adapted to the end and felt clueless.

But the service of this film is too conscientious, and preppy is also very fashionable. I think it is the best-looking of all the campus soap films I have seen. Iggy Azeala's Fancy's MV should have made this film a little more popular, and it should also be regarded as a masterpiece of 90s fashion in film and television works.

And it is the heroine who really brought this movie back to life, which has almost replaced Gwyneth’s representative image of Emma in my heart. Particularly cute, the white rich beauty who is a little headstrong and does not eat the fireworks! Especially like Meg Ryan but more beautiful than Meg, and her acting skills are very similar to Meg, but I don't understand why Meg is so hot, but she is not hot at all. Maybe it's because she didn't cut her hair short to act as a white-collar worker!

    I was attracted by a post on Instagram and watched it randomly. I didn't expect that the youth movies of the 90s could be so good! The lady is so beautiful! From the beginning of the rich family Bichi Jiaojiao girl to a little bit fuller at the back, it is not what I expected at the beginning, the emotional scene is very sweet and unconventional, the girls inside are very fashionable, and the atmosphere is relaxed and happy. Unexpectedly, I like it

    So broken! The adaptation of Emma into a modern version turned out to be such a broken story. It seems that it feels better to take place in ancient times. But the heroine completely performed Emma's arrogance! I don't like the male protagonist, he looks good, but he doesn't dress well enough.
