lonely persistence

It is not difficult to find that many people compare this film to "Becoming Jane Austen", a romance, a reality, a focus on the love that Austen missed, and a recapture of Austen's lonely bravery. But I prefer this movie, which is quite similar to the Austen I imagined, a character who loves to write, is alert, and lonely. Although she has written many romance novels, she herself does not indulge in love.

The movie begins with a lighthearted and happy start. Austen, who has entered middle age, guides his young and beautiful niece Fanny on the maze of love, as if I, who had been single with my mother and child, taught the Dafa of love to sisters from all walks of life. It is a pity that a single woman who sees through the essence of marriage and firmly believes in the purity of love cannot guide a girl who is obsessed with love and eager to get married, because what they can bear and what they want are different.

While taking care of her brother Henry, Austin met Harden, a young doctor who made her heart fascinate, and with Harden's encouragement, went to the Regent's Palace to present the new book "Emma". Everything seemed to be going smoothly and a bright future seemed Freehand.

But in the blink of an eye, the dark clouds overwhelmed the city, my brother went bankrupt, the family was in distress, and Austin was ill. All persistence seemed to have become a mistake. The mother's blame and the niece's regret made me see that in such an era, single and poor women suffered If it weren't for the support of my sister (even if she has selfish intentions), I'm afraid it would be difficult to have the exquisite novels that are presented in the eyes of the public today.

I love Austin's insight and firmness, and pity the pressure and pain she suffered, in an era when women can't survive without getting married, in a room full of shit and noise, there is a woman with ink on her hands and waving hair on the temples. What a shocking scene to write and write quickly~

Miss Austen Regrets quotes

  • Fanny Austen-Knight: You like Mr. Haden!

    Jane Austen: He has very good teeth.

  • Mme. Bigeon: [late at night, both in nightgowns; strong French accent] My friend in Paris has read a wonderful new book called 'Raison and Sensibilite'

    Jane Austen: Sense and Sensibility?

    Mme. Bigeon: My friend says, whoever the woman is who wrote this book, she knows more about love than anyone else in the world

    Jane Austen: Like someone who can't cook writing a recipe book

    Mme. Bigeon: Passion is for the young. It fades so quickly.

    Jane Austen: [wistfully] Not in our dreams

    Mme. Bigeon: Comfort remains, friendship remains, if you are lucky as I was.

    Jane Austen: Happiness in marriage remains a matter of chance

    Mme. Bigeon: But the fuss we make about who to choose. And love still dies and money still vanishes. And, spinster, lover, wife, every woman has regrets. So we read about your heroines and feel young again. And in love. And full of hope. As if we can make that choice again.

    Jane Austen: And do it right this time

    Mme. Bigeon: This is the gift which God has given you.

    [Jane Austen looks up sharply]

    Mme. Bigeon: It is enough, I think.
