The Pride and Prejudice movies and TV series have been seen in four versions, two Hollywood versions in the 1940s and 2004, and the BBC version in 1980 and 1995. I'm not arrogant and prejudiced against Hollywood, but both versions in the US have been turned into hilarious romances. Rather than an adaptation of the original work, it is better to sell dog meat with a sheep's head. I will not boast about the BBC, the 95 version is regarded as a classic by countless Jane fans. What does the above have to do with Becoming Jane? To put it bluntly, BJ is just another variant of Pride and Prejudice - a blunt plot of Pride and Prejudice in Jane Austen's life. Tom is a poor version of Darcy. Since she can't be together in the real world, Jane makes her heroine have no regrets in the novel. This reminds me of another very inexplicable Hollywood biopic "Shakespeare in Love", where the desire between Shakespeare and a noble girl made Romeo and Juliet. It's a pity that Joseph Fiennes' talent is just like Lawrence Oliver who played Darcy in Hollywood Pride and Prejudice.
Hollywood biopics are just such a routine. They use self-righteous adaptations of British classics to cater to Americans who are either arrogant, arrogant or narcissistic who know nothing about British feelings. Show us the prejudice, I almost vomited! Later, I watched it with the perverted mentality of seeing how bad this film really is - since Hollywood BT, then we BT once.
In BJ, Anne Hathaway can see that she tried her best. The British accent is still the same, but it is far from the nostalgic British feeling. I read a post saying that the British in the eyes of Hollywood is different from the British tradition in the eyes of the British, just as the typical Chinese beauties they think are much different from our aesthetics. Hollywood's beloved English gentleman, Hugh Grant, is the epitome of rogue in England, and Kayla, in my opinion, has lost its British charm and is as cheap and tasteless as the product of a McDonald's burger machine. In the absence of other particularly popular actresses in the UK, it's no surprise to find an American woman instead.
Of course, if it weren't so harsh and British, this film could still be enjoyable, and under the Jane Austen brand, at least those who think Jane is the mother of romance novels can get excited for a while.
