A look at the information is really true, the film obviously praises the Americans, satirizes the old-fashioned hypocrisy of the British, and designs a few ridiculous British images. It's very similar to The Princess Diaries, although it's a fictional country.
The story is very old-fashioned. As the representative of American girls, the heroine must be jumping around everywhere, and she is charming and can change the people around her: for example, she can change the taste of the peach sisters and make the old master who never smiles like it. , let the grandma who didn't like her mother like it in the past, let everyone dance with her, even the dog loves her very much, and she cut the skirt and was appreciated by everyone. . . Americans just love to impose their cultural customs and values ​​on others, thinking that only theirs is correct, and others respect their culture. The grandmother also told her son that their family had given too much to England, so don't give his heart. . Look what the British have destroyed human nature = =
The ending is also consistent. After a lot of struggle, the character must make an amazing speech on a major occasion, and then make the right choice.
In addition to talking about father-daughter kinship, looking for oneself, and American yy in this film. Suddenly found the American flag on the girl's T-shirt on the poster)
The heroine's boyfriend is really unwelcoming and superfluous.
It's all because of Mr. Darcy's presence, so this movie is still very good~~

    The film is easy and humorous. It is another big collision between American and English. Maybe I prefer this type of film. Different English cultures collide with different very humorous expressions and different sensory enjoyments. I like the section where Colin wore a pair of leather pants and danced on the guitar, which fully demonstrated British humor, and I also liked Colin's performance in the film very much. I always like to watch him perform humorously with a head of popcorn (his natural roll)

    Youth films, watched for Colin Firth, the whole film has no nutrition, the script is very rough and has no youthful flavor. I really like Amanda Burns, although the acting is average.
