In fact, audiences like me from China have very limited knowledge of Peter Rabbit and his friends who have been selling well in the UK, not to mention the life of his author Beatrix Potter. The film covers the events and people who once inspired Miss Potter, from Victorian London to the Scottish Lake District, which is like a fairyland on earth. In addition, the United Kingdom has always been very protective of historical and cultural sites, and it is expected that the film will promote a small wave of heat waves to visit the film scene in the Lake District. Zellweger was chosen to play Miss Potter because of her famous rendition of the aunt's solitude in the "Diary" series. Coincidentally, Miss Potter, who once swore not to marry, and Miss Jones, who kept a single diary, both entered the beginning of the three-letter word. All three films are British stories with British characters, so although Zellweger is the only American actor among the main characters in the film, he is quite familiar. But the previous Bridget Jones's Diary series, set in modern Britain, seems to have had its fair share of downsides: Zellweger's rendition of Victorian Beatrix Potter's life as an older young woman seemed so familiar that it was almost impossible to show that Miss Potter and Miss Jones were not. Mindset differences that may not exist. But overall, I like this Miss Potter more than Woolf who played Nicole Kidman a few years earlier. Looking at it from another angle, as a female audience, I may be demanding of male directors, but the storytelling of the whole film is good enough. If you say that it is a video biography of the female author's mental journey, it is really not enough.
