I don´t wanna marry until I have a job

When I was defragmenting my hard drive last night, I found that there was still this movie, so I clicked on it.

Influenced by Downton Abbey, I like classical British things recently. Love their refined and simple outfits, as well as their restrained self-esteem.

Jane's novels, I have only read Pride and Prejudice, I like them very much. Others, such as reason and emotion, are a bit unbearable. Probably because Pride and Prejudice is more lively.

The movie is good, very real, like a documentary. A woman who has not married at the age of forty, although she is a famous writer, is still unable to make a living from her works due to various restrictions. Although accompanied by my mother and sister, the loneliness and desolation in it are difficult to be humane to the outside world. What's more, Jane is such a self-respecting and stubborn person, who would rather be misunderstood than sympathized.

Jane's little niece in the movie, the aunt's secret she has been searching for. With a romantic heart, she guessed the reason for her aunt's celibacy, which must be a heart-wrenching love story. Unfortunately not.

Jane's celibacy is just a choice that conforms to her own wishes. This thought was vague at first, but gradually became clearer as time went by: on the one hand, because the choices gradually diminished, and there were fewer and fewer men who could reach her eyes; Such a free and deserted road.

It's not that she doesn't want love, but she is still heartbroken;
she has repeatedly told her little niece that a marriage without love can't be married; she also understands that only love can't be married.
She is not a woman who will be overwhelmed by love, but she knows the reality of marriage better than anyone else.
She may not desire marriage, but the price of marriage is something she doesn't want to pay.

The mother complained that she couldn't hold the baby. She is silent, the novel is her child.
The mother complained that she was willful not to marry, thus putting them in a bad situation. At this moment, she was really poked in pain. She chose herself as her husband, and she hoped that she could be the support of her mother and sister, but she couldn't.

The maid in the movie says that all women harbor regrets, whether they get married or stay single. The wonderful thing about the movie is that it shows all the regrets. Everything has a price, and Jane's price is to face poverty and disease alone at the age of forty.

She has regrets, but also calm. Because he made his own choice, he also paid the corresponding price.

It was more difficult for women in that era, especially if you wanted to remain independent, you had to have a very strong mentality. We may be luckier, and the world is gradually discovering that women have other roles besides mothers and wives. So a five-year-old girl on the Internet will also loudly announce to the camera: I don't want to marry someone if I don't have a job first. A man comes asking me, running out, no, I don't wanna marry you yet! I want to have a job, and, if he says I will not come back to you, fine, I will find a different man. This is my life, you better stop caring, I'm not, I 'm not gonna do anything for you until I have my job. I don't care if I marry you, I don't care if I marry another man, I care if I do something that's special, I don't wanna marry someone if I don't have a job first.

  • 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

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

    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.

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