Today, let's talk about the movie "Emma".
Film title Emma. (2020), alias EMMA: High Noble (Hong Kong) / Emma. (Taiwan).
Emma is a novel by British novelist Jane Austen.
First published in December 1815, it is also one of the most influential classic novels of the 19th century.
The novel has no terrifying and thrilling plots, and no sensational descriptions. It has been narrated in a straightforward way, telling Xiao Nizi's comedic emotional journey through what Emma has seen and heard.
Over the years, "Emma" has been put on the big screen several times, both in film and TV series, and this version starring Anya Taylor-Joy in 2020 is the latest version.
The film retains most of the plot of the novel, and uses the four seasons of autumn, winter and spring to tell an important life experience of Emma's growth and maturity.
In the setting of the story, Emma is of noble birth, beautiful, and has a lively and cheerful personality. After her mother died and her sister got married, she became the mistress of the family and lived with her father in a large manor.
Emma's biggest hobby is to be a matchmaker, to match other people's marriages, to make suggestions for other people's marriage and love, and to be keen on other people's romantic stories, while she herself firmly believes that she should be an unmarriageist.
Emma introduced her governess to Weston, and frantically induced her girlfriend Harriet to reject Farmer Martin's proposal. In addition to teaching knowledge, the governess originally played a part of the role of mother. After she left, Emma seemed to feel that she could become an adult.
Harriet was not born well and was an illegitimate daughter, which was an original sin in the age of blood theory. She has no education, no knowledge, and no money. When Emma, the noble lady, took her as a friend, Harriet believed it blindly.
Harriet obediently listened to the love advice of Emma, who had never been in love, and rejected Martin, who was well-matched and loved her. This made Martin very sad.
Immediately afterwards, Emma was not idle, and began to entice Harriet and Reverend Elton to form a pair.
And Elton is crazy about Emma, who is rich and famous, and has no interest in Harriet at all.
This surprised Emma very much. Emma thought the clergy was reliable, but Elton liked money and status. It's no surprise that Elton later married a vain but materialistic woman.
Miss Bates's family is in the middle of the road, and she has never been married. She usually likes to pull Emma and a group of little girls to do homework. Miss Bates' niece Jane and Weston's son Frank visit, and Emma begins to match Harriet and Frank again. But Frank and Jane hide the fact that they are already engaged.
Emma's friend Knightley captured Harriet's heart because of his gentlemanly demeanor. When Harriet expressed her heart to Emma, Emma realized that she also had an unstoppable love for Knightley.
Under Emma's chaotic mandarin ducks, the countryside has turned into a seemingly complicated playground of multi-angle love relationships.
The biggest advantage of the 2020 version of "Emma" is its obedience.
Most of the scenes in the whole film are brightly colored, and the scenery is beautiful. No matter how you shoot throughout the year, it is very comfortable to watch.
The clothes of Emma and others are set one after another, and these clothes alone can hold up a fashion show.
However, the story expressed in "Emma" does not feel very good.
The film uses a year to show the four seasons of Xiao Nizi's growth, from autumn and winter to spring and summer. The little girl with a high heart at the beginning has gradually become an adult who can understand others. Originally a little girl with money and leisure, after being hit by love, it seems that she has the motivation to grow up.
In the original book, Emma was a rather pleasant girl doll, but this version of Emma is very unpleasant and annoying.
The aristocratic class living in the countryside has never had any serious business, and their necessities are taken care of, and their daily activities are to stop by and hold family and dance parties.
Emma, who has nothing to do with food and clothing, has not developed any hobbies of qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, but she has developed a strong interest in random mandarin duck music.
Emma has developed a hobby like being a matchmaker, and the story is essentially the same as "Country Love Story". Zhang’s parent, Li Jiaduan, is everywhere, gossiping here, and babbling over there.
And in order to maintain this meaningless life, they open their mouths to be class. You have to be right in line to get married. It is really a small probability event that such people can find love.
Emma herself is arrogant and arrogant, and Anya Taylor-Joy's eyes are widely separated and very large, giving people a sense of arrogance that is difficult to get close to. You don't see much lighthearted comedy from Emma's performance, but the screen is full of arrogance.
But the author finally arranged for Emma Ruyi Langjun is a man with the most suitable background and temperament. In the subtext, the author wants to tell everyone that it is necessary to play like this, illegitimate daughters should find farmers, nobles should find nobles, and those who want to find true love should be referred to by Wanfu.
This is also the class narrowness of the work.
A love story of aristocratic countrymen in England,
The matchmaker's little sister grows rapidly in the four seasons.
