What surprised me the most was that the director could actually make the movie look like Disney animation. First of all, the heroine looks very like Snow White. Her small mouth and small front teeth, as well as the little blue coat she wears, is really a replica of Snow White. The narration is also on the one hand (also in the book), as well as the bizarre and unexpected dreams of the heroine that appear from time to time, coupled with the dynamic and exaggerated music, it is really like the atmosphere of the cartoon. Aside from these little clips, the film is quite orthodox: country landscapes, city streets, night dances, all kinds of introductions that need to be introduced. It has to be said that the British society at that time was really troublesome.
However, the society at that time was full of opportunities (for young men and women). They can have no relationship whatsoever, just talk to each other, visit each other, and even live together (not cohabitation) just because they were introduced. This creates a lot of opportunities for all kinds of young people, just like male and female protagonists. The female protagonist was invited to the male protagonist's house as a guest, and then began an extraordinary journey. During this period, she realized that she was too imaginative, realized her love for the male protagonist, realized how hypocritical people can be, and in general, she has grown up.
I didn't know the plot at all before watching the movie, so I couldn't help but be a little surprised by the development of the plot. I didn't expect Thorpe to be a person who can talk freely and make up random things. I really didn't expect such a person to exist. Aren't you afraid of being despised and isolated? But it's also very strange, even if others know that he is like this, why would they still be friends with him, his sister said that she was used to this habit of her brother, and it was terrible to not take his words seriously. As for Isabella, all I can say is, uh, disgusting. Does this kind of woman exist? Stupid enough to be despised! Being seduced easily, and wanting to get "forgiveness" from my ex-boyfriend without any shame, it's funny!
As for the heroine, maybe because the movie is too short, I really don't really appreciate her moving parts, except for being too naive. She really shows her emotions very easily. At the beginning, her undisguised love for Henry, whether in expressions, actions or words, really stunned me. Shouldn't girls be more reserved?
The male protagonist's face is still very good, especially the big moving eyes. When I first saw him being so funny and humorous, I thought he was a bad boy, but I didn't expect it to be a hero, an infatuated and brave hero. He was generous to Catherine and forgave her involuntarily after seeing her eagerly explaining why he had missed the appointment. Although angry with her wild imagination, she bravely broke with her father to pursue her.
But, was love really that simple back then? This question seems to have been asked many times. Just dance, go for a walk, chat, look at the family history (seems like family history is never a problem in Austen's novels), and then we're together? ! Actually, what else could it be? There was no such thing as cohabitation at that time. Back then, people still believed in word of mouth. Marriage is easy, is love so easy? Maybe the current love is too complicated. Maybe it's always been the same. Isn't the male protagonist in the movie willing to give up his inheritance for the female protagonist? This is no different from the current property, and the heroine readily agrees. It can only be said that because the hero and heroine are too brave and unworldly, their love is so simple, pure and easy.
