In my conscience, I think "Audience" is not Jane's best work (I still like it very much, who made me "Fan"), but it is the one with the most popular readers and the most remakes. Although the Lawrence Oliver version has superb performance and brilliant dialogue, it is too American, and it does not have the tranquility and leisure of the original. It should be noted that the "British taste" in Austin's works is just like "Jianfan" for me. The salt in the dish is just as important; the new version has never been seen so far, and there has never been much hope. So, yes, this six-episode series filmed by the BBC cannot be surpassed in my heart.
Actors
Some people say that Jennifer Ellie is an actor whose temperament is better than looks, and his acting skills are better than his temperament. I think so. Many people will be a little disappointed when they see her at first sight, but as the plot goes deeper, they have to admit that she is the best candidate to play Elizabeth. To use an old analogy: "has a pair of talking eyes." Those eyes were able to convey so much cunning, knowing and cleverness so accurately. Facing the desperate Darcy, the despicable and vain Bentley sisters, the ugly cousin Collins, the ridicule; the embarrassment that Darcy revealed when she proposed to her; and the satirical dad who laughed at each other... I watched this film several times and I sighed at her: Oh my God, even I can't help but fall in love with you!
Undoubtedly, the Darcy played by Colin Firth has attracted countless women. He is calm and unreliable, and the graceful superiority of the children of the family; even when they climb up from their own creek, they are soaked in whiteness. The shirt is clinging to a strong upper body, which can make people's heart beat faster. Needless to say, such a specimen image called Prince Charming. The nympho, like me, also eats this set.
Jane, the eldest girl of the Bennett family, may not be too in line with the aesthetic tendency of modern people, and her body is too plump and her facial features are not refined enough. But a lens of Jane's turning back in the film made me realize: thick golden hair, big blue eyes, slender and white neck, condensed fat skin and demure and gentle temperament, it is a classic beauty that comes out of an oil painting.
There is another beauty I cannot ignore: Miss Darcy. She is like a timid bird, which makes people feel pity. In the BBC movie "David Copperfield" she played the role of David Jr.'s mother, the one who was abused and died by her husband and sister. The role of a weak woman is actually too suitable for her, whoever sees it will have the urge to stretch out her arms to let her snuggle.
Others can't talk about them all. The casting of the film and the performance of the actors are very sophisticated. Mr. Bennett is very wise, Mrs. Bennett and Collins are very comedies. Although Wickham is not good-looking, his virtue is like that. In addition to being in line with the image of the shrewd old girl in the original book, Charlotte has a sense of reason. The beauty of temperament.
The characters
were only in their early twenties when the novel was written, and the subject matter was closely related to his own life experience. So I can’t help but imagine how smart and cute as Elizabeth, Jane has mixed up a lot of her character in this character. For example, a great sense of humor, such as Tongtou's observation ability, and even the small mistakes every young girl makes because of her small vanity. Although Jane has published six novels, although one or two of them have more mature thinking, more rigorous ideas and even more memorable language, I would rather believe that "Pride and Prejudice" is her favorite child.
Mr. Darcy, who is handsome and gold, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, has dumped countless women, but if he is choosing a lifelong partner, please, be realistic. I will be like Mr. Bennett. He has keen insight but is rare to be confused, mean and sharp but with good intentions; he has a strong mind and a sense of humor; he is broad-minded and knows how to advance and retreat. There is absolutely no boring life with him, as long as you are not boring, you can live a happier life in this life. Although I have read it many times, but every time I put the sentence he said: "Dear Mrs. Bennet, think for the good in everything, such as: You will die in front of me." I would laugh once. And that Mr. Darcy, who has a poker face all day long, I, this, can't cover it.
When a friend and I watched this film together, he said he liked Charlotte. She said that Charlotte has a kind of rational beauty. I said that this woman was unfortunately born in the wrong time. If she was born in this year, she would definitely be a strong woman with strategizing. I'm not saying that she is good at calculating for profit, she is the kind of person who is clever, clear, decisive and good at timing. It can be seen that Jane, who has many suitors but is unmarried for life, is critical of Charlotte's attitude, but who can say that her choice is more tragic for her than staying at home and being an old virgin. Before she was about to return to Huntsford with Collins, I asked Lizzy to see her. This plot really made me feel distressed for her. Even though she was calm on the surface, she was disturbed inside. In fact, it takes courage to choose Collins, and I can never do it. The advantage of
adapting a script to a
TV series is that you can show the spirit of the original without rushing, and you don’t need to explain the ins and outs within an hour or two like a movie. The one who died is "Sense and Emotions" edited by Emma Thompson, and Ang Lee also gave it a great guide) Although there are no major changes to the original work in this play, there are still some changes, which are probably more suitable for the expression of the lens language . Some details are very cleverly added. For example, in Pemberley, when Miss Darcy was playing the piano, Miss Bentley deliberately mentioned Wickham to embarrass Lizzie. Miss Darcy was surprised and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. Just when the people who knew and did not know were speechless and embarrassed for a while, Lizzie hurried over to turn over the score for Miss Darcy, and said I'm sorry, I forgot to turn it over for you, how could you be able to play it? In this way, it not only soothed Miss Darcy’s fright, but also resolved Darcy’s concerns about her sister’s private affairs. It also subtly shifted the topic of the rudeness of Miss Bentley. No wonder Darcy used such a grateful and affectionate money. The eyes are watching her...
Finally, the shortcomings, I think the ending is a bit too anxious! !
