That graceful tone

I watched Pride and Prejudice yesterday, and today I am Jane Austen. The similarities between the two films are self-evident. One is to present the novel before our eyes, and the other is to restore the life of the author of the novel, and the novel is derived from the author’s own experience. And feelings. As a result, Jane and Elisabeth in the two films often make me unable to distinguish-clever and ingenious insights, dare to love and hate; the scenes in the film are also so similar-gorgeous costumes, lively prom, affectionate sisters, poor parents . Yes, isn’t the author really a representation of life in the novel? The only difference is the happy ending in the novel.

Pride & Prejudice has beautiful posters and heroines that I like. After watching it for the first time, I only felt that the conflict was not intense enough, and the characters were not full enough. I even felt that the film was not long enough, and that the director’s comedic treatment was quite nuanced. When I watched Becoming Jane, I almost wanted to change the film halfway through it. The reason, I can only say that it was too similar to P&P. I regretted watching two identical movies in a row. Out of respect for the film crew (well, I admit that I was too fake--!), I finally finished watching it, and the result is that not only did I have a good feeling for BJ, but also greatly deepened my understanding of P&P. . This also proves again: respect for a movie, there is absolutely no harm.

The film is about to end, and Jane, who has experienced a series of changes, has really started her writing. Facing the old window frames, a line of beautiful text flows in her pen, and the narration is the beginning of P&P, that graceful British accent——It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. However, little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, This truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. The picture is more vivid. Very magical effect. This is her life, and her novels, they are so similar and different, it's really just a happy ending. I guess that the humor of the P&P film is just Jane's ease in the original work, and the plainness of the P&P film is just because of reality.

At the end of the film, the passage where the two reunited many years later is even more embarrassing. The two were afraid to face each other, but when they were actually facing each other and seeing the traces of time carved on their faces, what kind of mood did each have? How many ripples will the Jane say, which is slightly reproaching her daughter, in Miss Jane Austen's heart? Thus, there was an exception to the recitation, the graceful British accent——
She began to realize that he was 100% the most suitable man for him in terms of personality and talents. Even though his views and his temperament were different from her own, she was satisfied with her. This combination is good for both parties. She is calm and lively, making men soft and elegant. He has a deep knowledge and experience, so that women can also benefit greatly. Unfortunately, such a happy marriage is impossible to achieve. There are millions of lovers who want to form a truly happy marriage. We have since then missed a role model worth learning from.
——The tone is so peaceful as to narrate something that has nothing to do with you, but if you know, no matter the person or the bystander, who can not be moved by it? How can others understand the bitterness and regret and disappointment and unwillingness in Jane's heart?
Jane slowly closed the book, raised her eyes to Tom amid the applause of the crowd, her eyes were full of clearness. She smiled calmly even though the past calendar was in her mind. Tom's trance was interrupted by the applause, watching Jane join the applause. Even though memories were flooding, he smiled with tears.

The picture of the film is very beautiful, both of them, bright sunshine and large green areas, the countryside scenery of England makes people linger. Both films have shots of the male and female protagonists kissing against the light of the rising sun.
Also moving is the sound, the original sound is very good, and the piano-based P&P impressed me even more. At the end of the film, Darcy walks towards Elisabeth from the morning mist that is about to spread out of the screen. Ding-dong's piano is turning from weak to strong like Darcy's figure from far to near. That scene is really exciting. Finally, a series of " After little trouble, "happy ending".
Of course, the graceful British accent makes all joy or sorrow calm or anger, all hot confession or hesitation, and even all arrogance or ignorance, all appear so elegant and calm. Keira Knightley is full of English, charming, very fond, like, and secretly weak thinks, it sounds so pleasant if you share a large monologue of Ann Belle to Kai Belle.

PS: If the female classmate likes the British tune, go see Beckham's interview and the like, it is absolutely audio-visual enjoyment! :)
