After watching the movie of persuasion three times, I finally made up my mind to write something, not for the movie itself, but for my favorite Jane Austen novel "Persuasion".
This is a lesser known book by Jane Austen, and so is the movie. Austin is probably best known for Pride and Prejudice, plus a copy of Sense and Sensibility, and I don't know why Emma (oh my God, I hate Emma so much, self-righteous and nosy, It would be a disaster to meet such a person) The version that appeared will exceed "Persuasion", if it is not for Northanger Abbey and "Mansfield Manor" published by Austen's collection of works at the bottom, "Persuasion" Notoriety is a tragedy. In this order, it stands to reason that the number of film and television adaptations of "Pride and Prejudice" is the most impressive. Without looking up the data, I remember watching two versions of the movie Pride and Prejudice and one version of the TV series, and of course the ones I haven't seen. "Persuasion" is pitiful, but two films. But I love this book, although I have read Pride and Prejudice twice, but I will not forget that when I just finished Persuasion, I turned to the beginning of the book and started reading again. rise. This is the expression of true love.
I liked or liked Jane Austen, but never did, so I didn't think to check out her life story. Of course, when "Becoming Jane Austen" was released, I also watched it, and after reading it, I didn't want to explore her life story. The story in the movie is so beautiful, although it is a tragedy, it is still beautiful in tragedy, I am afraid that Austin is actually just a serious and rigid old-fashioned woman living in the country, I will be too disappointed, I am willing to let her in my imagination It used to be so gorgeous. But when I watch Austen's works, I will substitute the plot of the movie into the story again and again. Maybe she once was unable to get it because of love, so she gave Elizabeth and Jane the greatest mercy, so that they don't have to worry about it, just keep the mind of pursuing love firmly, and they will have Darcy and Bingley as rich, beautiful and virtuous The son-in-law became their partner. If this is Austen's fantasy and compassion for love, then her bet on Anne (the heroine of "Persuasion") is self-denial and mournful weeping. Anne is the unappreciated daughter of a declining baron, and the hero Frederick Wentworth is an ordinary navy. But the noble lady and the sailor who had no money and no future could not be linked together. Anne's relatives and friends separated them for their own reasons. So the man and woman in love separated after getting engaged, and Annie proposed to break up. The story begins eight years after the end of this past relationship. Wentworth has made a fortune in the war and has become extremely rich. Anne's youth and beauty will wither in longing and sadness, and her father and sister also because of Excessive spending, so they had to leave Ann's favorite residence. They meet at this moment, their circumstances are reversed, and the story unfolds at such a time. It's still Jane Austen's familiar style, the daily English countryside scenery, so plain that it's a bit boring. I've read the Persuasion novel three or four times, but except for the first time, every time Annie gets to this part in Bath I start dancing, almost straight to the end, those prom concerts and social conversations really don't work. If I can be a little more boring, the male protagonist simply disappears again, and even their seemingly calm, but actually aggressive, ascetic interaction is not left at all, which really breaks my heart.
The movie version has a much better grasp of the rhythm, the plot is accelerated, and some passages with abstinence in the book have also been scribbled, deducting the warmth of the original work, but strengthening the sense of rhythm. The interaction between the male and female protagonists has also increased a lot, which makes the picture look better. I can understand the screenwriter who made such an adaptation. At the moment, we are bombarded with visual stimulation such as big breasts, beautiful women, long legs, handsome guys, cool mechs, five-color lasers, etc., and we want to see the protagonist in a movie. To complete the complete process of "governing the country with a Qi family and pacifying the world", it is best to find ourselves in this process. How can we endure the hero and heroine in the rural scenery? At most, we have completed the love process of walking hand in hand and walking side by side. The obscure language machine to find the clues of love. Oh, even interaction is so rare. I especially remember when Anne was sitting on the side with a broken foot, Wentworth and Louisa, who was close to him at the time, were walking on the side, and their voices came over, and they were discussing Anne's rejection of Louisa's brother marriage proposal. Louisa added unwittingly that Annie's friends must be the cause, and that if she were Annie, she wouldn't listen to other people's opinions so casually. In fact, Annie's friends persuaded Annie to agree to the gentleman's proposal, but Annie was unwilling. Although she was gentle, she stubbornly waited for her sweetheart who was supposed to be unable to return. She guarded her own love and just obeyed her heart. . It was her who gave up, and she was also persistent, so contradictory and heartbreaking. She is almost the incarnation of Jane Austen herself. After experiencing the passionate and unbridled love in the movie, she realized the inappropriateness in reality and chose to let it go, but she could not let go of her obsession with love. She could only use a stubborn and gentle gesture. Stay in place and wait for the departure of the person who may never return or the arrival of the next love. Jane Austen didn't wait, but she gave Anne her gentle blessing, so that she finally reaps the happiness she deserves after eight years of long tempering. But the process of attaining happiness was so tender and grueling that when Louisa said that, I wanted to defend Annie so much that the girl's rejection was just because of love. Plus, we can't see Wentworth's attitude, Annie is blocked by a tree branch, and we are blocked by the author, whose subtle thoughts are imperceptible. It wasn't until he finally confessed, knowing the ending and looking back, he could find Wentworth's following gaze. Gosh, couldn't Wentworth have Darcy's perspective before the confession letter was sent? Give him a chance to say: She came across the grass so inappropriately, but I looked at her so charming.
Thank you to the male lead of this movie in 2007, thank you for being so handsome, and thank you for his acting skills. When he walked into the room, the director cut him a close-up close-up, his eyes were almost burning with longing, although he didn't speak or contact, but as a bystander finally had such a chance to explore his heart. The first time I saw RPJ was when I watched "Persuasion" for the first time. At that time, I was shocked by his beauty. He was so handsome that he was eye-catching. Really liked he should have watched Whitechapel two years ago, my detective is so charming. However, there is no connection between the two. It was not until I rewatched the movie today that I finally recognized this person again. Isn't this the detective in my Whitechapel murder case? He seems to be very suitable for such an ascetic role, and can be a beautiful painting in such a role. The heroine is not good-looking, she is really not good-looking, and her clothes are too ugly, even uglier than the clothes of the girl next to her. I know that Anne in Austen's book that fascinates me is beautifully worn, plainly dressed, and only gained popularity by virtue of her inner virtue. However, Anne should be haggard and not ugly, should be simple and not ugly, right? Anne was a beautiful girl eight years before they first met. Forget it, it's a habit. British directors don't always choose actors based on their looks. In the versions of several heroines of Pride and Prejudice, KK is the most beautiful in my heart. As for the casting of the most beautiful Jane in the book, it is my heart's remnant. In the most familiar KK version of Pride and Prejudice, who can tell me from the bottom of my heart that Bentley in the movie is a handsome guy in the original? Britain's most original "Doctor Who" was re-released in 2005, and experienced three heroines before Magic took over and pushed it to the United States. Compared with the long-legged girl Amy, they are really good passers-by. Especially Donna, she looks like a passerby aunt who just found her on the road. As much as I love Rose, I can't help but admit that she's quite ordinary in the show. Of course, although the magician made the heroine beautiful, the horse-faced Doctor was too quick to go offline compared to the previous one. When it comes to this topic, there is always something to say.
There are also many people who complained about the last Japanese drama run in the movie. The heroine couldn't hold back her inner emotions and walked through the streets of Bath, trying to tell Wentworth her inner emotions. Yes, the British restraint that has been suppressed for so long has been forgotten, and suddenly it has become another style. There are always running in Japanese dramas and comics. They run towards emotions that are almost lost, away from people, and quarreling partners... We are used to such a straightforward expression of following. Unexpectedly, the director made Austin's heroine run enthusiastically and unrestrainedly on the streets of British classical style. She gasped and stood in front of the hero, staring at her with shining eyes, Let them have a passionate kiss on the street. Alas, the style just doesn't fit, although I understand what the director and writer are trying to do. As a reader and watcher, I know how long the book and movie took to portray love in parental short details that younger audiences want to see in a straight-up conflicting picture. However, such a change in style is still annoying.
With such and such unsatisfactory, I still revisit this work time and time again. It's so daring and bold. In the book, Jane Austen describes her most passionate couple, not Annie and her boyfriend, but the hero's sister. The hero's brother-in-law, who is also a navy, travels the world with his wife, always showing up side by side, making decisions together, and galloping down country roads in a carriage. Austen expresses his contempt and irony at the beginning without any concealment for the vain nobles. They exaggerate their vanity and good face. Anne's father has long read a page of history about his family, because the status of the baron is bossy. But in the story, Austen showed all her tenderness, and she gave the warmest ending to this firm and gentle peace. It seems that after the long lonely years, Austin looks back at her past, she understands herself but can't seem to forgive her choice, she is tangled and hesitant, and she begins to doubt her previous beliefs. Therefore, she created this gentle and affectionate Annie without resentment, after thinking, and she let Annie gain happiness through baptism. I always feel that in "Persuasion", Annie's face is mixed with Austin's. Austin tenderly blessed his incarnation and brought back her beloved. This happy ending is her deepest tenderness.
As if when we were young we were always dreaming of Elizabeth, and we were bound to meet a Darcy who matched all our fantasies. However, when reality gradually invades, whether to choose to be the Charlotte who chose marriage or the Anne who is waiting for love is the exercise we face. From this perspective, "Persuasion" seems to be a more dreamy work: those who have left can come back, as long as they love firmly.
