Superficial Me and Deep Austin

I love watching movies, but it's also superficial. Anyway, there are always good-looking handsome guys and beauties in the movie, so that people can have the desire to watch it. If you want to rely on the plot to move people. It's like falling in love with a noble but ugly person, it will take a while to get into the play, or like most people, you can't stand it at first sight and feel so bad at first glance, and immediately quit.

"Persuasion" is a very sad story. After years of waiting and suffering, the lovers finally got married. In the 2007 version, the female protagonist looks okay, and the male protagonist is handsome. So vulgar I think this is the best version. But the previous 95 version was much worse. Well, that's the uncle and aunt in love. I watched the beginning and skipped it all. Let's go to the novel. At least reading the text can give full play to the imagination.

"Anne Elliott was a very beautiful lady a few years ago, but she lost the brilliance of her youth early. But even in the prime of her youth her father did not find her lovable. , because she has delicate facial features and a pair of dark eyes with a gentle expression, she is not like him at all. Now she is fading and thin, and of course there is nothing to win his respect." This sentence is still very important. Reminiscent of people's imagination, Annie is soft and elegant, gentle and pleasant. Such a beautiful woman, even if she has experienced the baptism of years, she will more or less retain the charming temperament of a little woman.

The difference between reading a book and watching a movie is that while books give you space to think about, movies make things visualized. It directly shows the characters and situations people imagine. For a hundred readers, there will be a hundred Hamlets. A filmmaker is a dream maker, but it is difficult to talk about it, and the dream created is not everyone's favorite. It's good enough to suit most people's tastes.

Austen's novels have grown in popularity in recent years. But Austin was not well-received by the public during his lifetime. Among contemporaries, Austin's novel is "Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Pie". Not enough atmosphere, just laughter and scolding among women. But the story left people with deep thinking, but it continues to this day. Our hearts need a variety of emotions to fill and comfort. So there will always be a soft corner for those lovely ladies in Austen's pen.

Persuasion quotes

  • Lady Russell: Anne! Who is Admiral Croft? And why does he cause you to be out of countenance so?... Anne.

    Anne Elliot: Admiral Croft's wife is... is...

    Lady Russell: Mrs. Croft.

    Anne Elliot: Indeed. And Mrs. Croft is the sister of Captain... Frederick Wentworth.

    Lady Russell: Wentworth? I see. I see.

    Anne Elliot: To think that soon he may be walking through this house.

    Lady Russell: Anne, you know that your father thought it a most unsuitable match. He would never have countenanced an alliance he deemed so degrading.

    Anne Elliot: He was not alone, as I recall.

    Lady Russell: My dear, to become engaged at 19, in the middle of a war, to a young naval officer who had no fortune and no expectations. You would indeed have been throwing yourself away. And I should have been failing in my duty as your godmother if I did not counsel against it. You were young, and it was entirely prudent to break off the understanding.

  • Sir Walter Elliot: Come, come, Anne! We must not be late. You cannot have forgotten we have an invitation from Lady Dalrymple.

    Anne Elliot: I regret I am already engaged to spend the evening with an old school-friend.

    Elizabeth Elliot: Not that sickly old widow in Westgate-buildings?

    Anne Elliot: Mrs Smith. Yes.

    Sir Walter Elliot: Smith? Westgate building?

    Mrs. Clay: Excuse me.

    Sir Walter Elliot: And who, pray, is Mrs Smith? One of the five thousand Smiths that are everywhere to be met with? Upon my word, Miss Anne Elliot, you have the most extraordinary taste. To place such a person ahead of your own family connections among the nobility of England and Ireland. Mrs Smith!

    Anne Elliot: Perhaps she is not the only poor widow in Bath with little to live on and no surname of dignity. Good evening.
