Actually, I think it's fine

After reading the book during the day, I couldn't help but watch the movie at night. The background of the movie is grand, the pictures are wonderful, and the soundtrack is especially good, especially the theme song. The lyrics are all of Byron's poems, and the content of the poems is just right for Vanity Fair.

The selection of the actors was also very good. Rebecca's pointed chin looked like a sly woman, and George looked like a playboy. The actor Roden was too handsome and smart, and he wasn't stupid like Roden at all. stupid feeling.

In terms of the theme of expression, the film is slightly different from the original book. The original book is a blatant irony. In the film, it seems that Rebecca's fame and fortune are forced to come, and it does not show Rebecca's smoothness at all. Moreover, the irony of the money-worshiping society has not been shown, but it has put too much emphasis on commercial love and romance.

However, the original book is nearly 900 pages long, and the length is comparable to that of Piao, but the film adaptation of Piao took 4 hours, and this one only took two hours.

People who haven't read the original book may not be interested in this movie, because the manor drama itself has similar themes and the same tone of voice. In addition, the relationship between the original work is complex and the background is grand. After being compressed into a movie, it seems that things happened too suddenly and compactly, so people who have not read the original work are likely to be disinterested in the compressed content.
