The heroine's appearance in the film is very dim, whether it is clothing fabrics, colors, hairstyles are relatively dull, and a little old-fashioned , but after thinking about it, it fits Anne's character very well. However, the noble family had to rent out Kellynch's old house to pay the debt because of the extravagant life of her father and sister. Even so, they were still reluctant to keep things simple, and as the only reliable girl in the family who managed the big and small things outside the home, she must take care of herself. Frugal, and she doesn't have time to dress up, her time isn't her own. A young girl must be physically and mentally exhausted from carrying a mountain of affairs, so at the beginning of the film, the shaky and depressed scenes revealed Anne's mental state. So Captain Wentworth saw her 8 years later and exclaimed: You were so altered.
This is a very emotional movie. Throughout is Anne's inner monologue to Captain Wentworth. Sally Hawkins' performance is so delicate and precise, across the screen, I completely follow her self-blame, cry, disappointment and joy. The interlaced non-monologue parts are used to explain the relationship between the characters and promote the development of the storyline. This section is clear and concise, without any procrastination. The logic of the story is clear, the rhythm of the film is smooth, and there is a degree of relaxation, which complements the sensibility of the film.
This really proves another truth: BBC + Jane Austen = classic. Compared with other films and TV series changed by Austen's novels, this adaptation is really distinctive and unique. The only constant is that Miss Austen once again soothes her heroine: a good girl, married to a lover. But even she herself said that there is no Mr. Darcy in real life, so there will be no Captain Wentworth!
The ending part of the movie is especially good. Waves of relatives and friends came to Camden Place to flock to Anne. At this time, she finally broke through the resistance firmly, squeezed through the crowd, and chased after the sweetheart she had loved for so many years. Then the director's camera shakes again. Unlike the opening scene of the movie, the music that matches Anne's footsteps has become more relaxed. When Captain Wentworth confessed to Anne again with his soulful and magnetic voice, the camera and the music were desperate. She was like a lark. flying towards him...
