Adapted from Jane. Austen's novels. Different from the classical, dignified and pompous scenes of previous Austin movies, it is very modern. To be precise, it is a seamless combination of classic mid-length shots and modern close-up shots. It's the kind of wobbly Du Kefeng lens, mercilessly approaching everyone to photograph their expressions, the sound of cramped breathing and the sound of snorting and snoring can be heard. It magnifies the stupid self-righteousness of the declining nobles, and the narrowness of the small squires and their children, which is very unreserved. And the heroine is always in a state of anxiety, afraid of seeing the colonel who was rejected by her at the beginning, and then she is unwilling to hide behind the scenes after seeing it, and then it is a misunderstood marriage and a marriage proposal that was almost taken advantage of, so that she will meet later. Run a few streets to agree to the colonel's proposal. It feels a little awkward. It's not that the plot is abrupt, but that the heroine's actions do not meet the standards of a lady of that era.
I haven't read the original book, but I thought it was a mix of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. Because the arrogance of the nobles, the rationality of the heroine on the surface, and the emotions of the hero are basically doomed. After reading the introduction, I learned that this is Jane Austen's last novel. The online reviews are quite good, but in terms of the plot of the movie, there is no breakthrough.
In short, this is an Austen movie with a strong director's personal touch and Austen's indifferent style.
