Emma is more than love

The texture of the movie oil painting is really wonderful, and the natural feeling unique to the British countryside is more like the light and lovely flowers blooming under the special effects of animation.

Jane Austen writes that it's not just love that can be felt more clearly on Emma. When Emma first saw Mr.Knightly, she hurriedly ran to play the piano and peeked into the living room from time to time, obviously because she felt different about him.

Emma is definitely not perfect. As Mr.Knightly said, Emma is conceited and vain, but her vanity does not come from her health and beauty. It can also be seen in the movie that Emma is not conscious of her appearance. Her pride and self-confidence and even some conceit are nothing more than class and wealth. Her wealthy background made her overly conceited and sometimes unable to empathize with poor people, but she has always been kind.

She also sincerely apologized after saying the wrong thing to Miss.Bates.

Most of the film's writing focuses on Emma and Mr.Knightly. Compared with the 2009 drama version, the description of Jane Fairfax is much less, and the cowardice brought about by her poverty is also much weaker. One of my favorite things about this version of the movie is the part where Jane plays the piano at Emma's house. As a person who is always praised by her aunt, she knows that she is not as good as Emma in any way, so the part she played while sitting in front of the piano was more like a clown covered in mud trying to show off as much as possible. The poor girl is arrogant and not taken seriously. In the end, she can only show her self-esteem in the music. The sadness that briefly became the focus is vividly displayed in the piano music.

The other is the drama of the movie (I don't know if that's right), but a lot of the no-nonsense and chaotic scenes in the movie often make me laugh out loud. I won’t write more if I don’t know the costumes and scenes. I’ve seen someone explain why the dance ended in the early morning, and why Emma took off a pair of shoes at the dance and still has a pair inside... These pursuits of historical details surprised me very much. .

So I totally agree that "Emma" is Jane Austen's realistic work. From social etiquette to the real appearance of the English countryside, Jane Austen's works have so much influence so far. It is impossible just because of love. Under the shell of love, what else did Jane Austen write? We still have more read.
