A word from sister JA at the end of the selection of the film: She is the best dancer in our family. ——Yes, after watching the film, "The Perfect Dancer" is the most accurate overview of her life.
Perfect? right!
Although the film is "regret", there are always many regrets behind everyone's choice, so I very much agree with JA's choice and persistence.
She chose freedom and poverty. Although she sacrificed a sense of security and a comfortable life, what she gained was the freedom of a noble soul, which is very rare.
Yes, what is marriage? what is love? What about bread? Different people should have different answers, of course, everyone has his choice. It's just that most people choose some of them, and they have to abandon others, which is more important? Ask your heart.
And JA's greatest courage is that she stands by her truth.
Yes, its own truth.
(2) Persistence in beauty
I started reading Austen's works in junior high school and re-reading them later. Except for "Sanjuenuo Temple", I have read the other five works, all of which are my favorite styles. JA's lighthearted and sarcastic style takes into account all kinds of things other than feelings in the choice of a partner and the description of details is quite delicate, making people have to enter the world of the protagonist, especially the description of psychological activities.
Although Austen does not have a so-called happy life, a poor life, or even suffering from illness, she can always see beautiful love and yearning for married life in her works. Although she has never met the right_man in her life, in her world It is romantic enough in itself to believe in the existence of beautiful things, and to pursue constant pursuit in the heart.

It is not difficult to relate to marriage while watching the film. What is marriage? Why create marriage? Is marriage responsibility or love?
Many people around me get married. To put it bluntly, they want a comfortable life. As Mrs. Austin said in the film, marriage brings a sense of security. Why marrige? Just because of insecurity. Do you feel safe after getting married? Maybe not? "My home is where my heart is." People who are uneasy in their hearts are probably even more insecure in their marriages.
(4) Reality
The difference between this film and the "becoming Austen" I have seen before is that it is more real, life-like and cruel. There are many persuasive scenarios.

    It is more realistic than "Becoming Jane Austen". Jane's fate of not marrying for life makes her situation more difficult. The film also implies her sister's desire to control her sister. The dialogue around the 59th point is very exciting. But I still doubt that her family is really as financially strapped as the film describes, and she is worried about Jane's unmarried marriage. In that case, Jane was really not easy at the time.

    This version of Austin is closest to the image in my mind, a paradox of loneliness and inferiority, a devil with a poisonous tongue full of girlish hearts. Austin has never been married. It seems regrettable that it is not necessarily true. If a woman like her is really willing to marry an ordinary person, it will not look like her. Her character created all her glory, but also all her loneliness. The regret chosen by the independent personality is better than the consummation of all submission to the worldly concept

    Jane Austen: She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older: the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.She had used him ill, deserted and disappointed him; and worse, she had shewn a feebleness of character in doing so, which his own decided, confident temper could not endure. She had given him up to oblige others.

    Jane Austen: She hoped to be wise and reasonable in time; but alas! alas! she must confess to herself that she was not wise yet.

    Cassandra Austen: I don't know how you have say it without tears.

    Jane Austen: I don't cry at anything that pays me money
