Talk about P&P and S&S

Non-serious, purely complaining, because short comments can't contain so many words.

Both "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Emotion", which I watched for the first time in a movie, are things in junior high school. I am ashamed to say that I bought the English version of Aobian, and I couldn’t keep on reading halfway through it; I also bought the Chinese version of Aobian to write a book review in my sophomore year, and I didn’t finish it. Book reviews are even more ashamed). I remember that I liked the 05 version of "Pride and Prejudice" very much. I watched it back and forth at least five or six times. I was a super fan of Mr. Darcy at that time. Whether it was the English on the left half of the bookworm or the Chinese on the right half of the bookworm, they were completely trapped in Mr. Darcy’s pretentious, pretentious, unspoken, but arrogant but arrogant tongue everywhere. Leng Faner is in. Of course, Darcy's humanity is even more perfect, so after the 05 version creatively appeared the two details of the carriage on the armrest and the quarrel in the rain gallery, the girl's heart was like a runaway wild horse out of control. [The above paragraph should be written under the page of P&P, here is random entry] [Please understand the heart of a 05-brain fan who both bought the disc and downloaded the movie] [No need to sell the 95 version with me, I have not been courageous anymore Turn it on]

On the contrary, the first time I watched "Sense and Emotion", the feeling was much worse. To be honest, a superficial junior high school student like me is looking for the next Darcy in another novel by Jane Austen. As a result, the two male protagonists of "Sense and Emotion" are both dull gourd-types who do not understand the emotions. . In addition, the plot of the novel is very similar to "Pride and Prejudice". There are ugly men. The male protagonist has a young female relative who has been hurt by the ugly man. They are all sisters. So naive, like me, the more I see a similarity. A sense of disappointment for a less-than-exciting story. In addition, based on my poor aesthetic vision at the time, Lee Ang's "Sense and Emotion" actors were not sufficiently handsome, and the only good-looking Fat Wen was still very fat... In short, I don't like it. What impression will I have after watching None, so that the second brush today looks like watching a new movie.

I don’t know where the courage came from this winter vacation. I don’t know how to read the original Chinese version of "Sense and Emotion" (this time it is not the abbreviated version and I insisted on reading it). I originally thought that there would be no more than two hundred pages of petty literature like Jane Austen. As a result, I realized that the story of these two men and two women could also be written in the upper, middle, and lower parts of nearly 500 pages for the great writer... and I have read any book by Jane Austen (regardless of Whether it’s the abbreviation or the original) will find that the novel does not pay attention to specific descriptions, especially when writing people, most of the time it is directly written about what the author thinks of the person and what he thinks of him (polite Is it romantic and suave? Taciturn?), instead of describing a person in detail and allowing readers to draw their own opinions. I think the story of her work is weakened in this way, and I don't like it very much myself. So her novel is really suitable to be adapted into film and television works. There are a lot of abstract and conceptual overviews that are talked about. A few seconds of the movie is very vivid and specific.

And here comes the adaptation of Emma Tompson's script. I dare not say that I can fully appreciate the screenplay of the talented Cambridge girl who has honed her sword in four years, but at least after carefully turning over the original work, I can at least appreciate the cleverness of her script conception more than the first time I read it. As mentioned earlier, there are too many abstract and conclusive narratives in Jane Austen's original work, which cannot be photographed. Emma writes the script, except for a small amount of original dialogue that can be quoted, basically it has to rely on his own imagination to supplement the scene, and the content of these supplements must be appropriate and reasonable, and similar to the spirit of the original. For example, in the original book, the process of how Elinor and Edward fall in love is very simple. Emma designed two scenes for this. The first is to use the geography of the world to draw my sister out, showing that the two people who met for the first time have shown a tacit understanding of the same heart. Then use Edward to see the scene of Elinor crying while listening to his sister playing the piano, showing that Edward is simple and honest but delicate and sensitive. This is also a kind of fit with Elinor's cold outside and hot inside, strong in front of him, and fragile in the back. Edward gifted it. The handkerchief later became the carrier of the emotions surging in the rational Elinor's heart. In the end, the small details that developed into a walk and a silk scarf show that the goodwill of the two people is getting stronger and stronger. It's like Marion got lost in the wild twice, both on rainy days, and there are men who rescued him, but one is Mr. Wrong and the other is Mr. Right. These two scenes are very neatly parallel contrasts. It should be carefully considered by the screenwriter. Arranged specially. So in the movie, the story is still that story, and the plot is still those plots, but how to deal with the specific scenes, many times are not the same as written in the novel.

After watching "Sense and Emotion" for the second time, and comparing it with "Pride and Prejudice", the feeling is very different from before. In theory, it should be compared with movies and novels with novels. However, the readers of the weak can't do so much, so it's just nonsense. In terms of character design, I think "Sense and Emotion" is fuller and more real. Each of the main characters has their own weaknesses and their shining points. Marion is impulsive but full of enthusiasm, Elinor is cautious but sometimes too pedantic, Edward is dull but honest and sincere, Brandon is not romantic enough but stable and reliable, even Willow Bi has also paid sincerely. In fact, people who are neither bad to the end nor good to the extreme are the norm in life. In contrast, the role of "Pride and Prejudice" seems to be a bit flattering. Furthermore, from the standpoint of the two novels, "Pride and Prejudice" says that marriage and love cannot be kidnapped by money, and I think "Sense and Emotion" discusses women's attitudes toward emotions and is more introspective. In particular, Marion later said that even if Willoughby married her, she would probably have a relationship breakdown due to financial problems. To a certain extent, she also affirmed that necessary material possessions are the basis for a stable marriage, which is better than "Pride and Prejudice." Emphasize that as long as the soul fits together, true love can cross classes and be more realistic. And Elinor finally married Edward, the parish priest who had no inheritance, better than Darcy marrying lizzy to reflect the value of true love. Love is not only about sharing wealth but also sharing tribulations. [Not a fan of Jane Austen, not a scholar, no culture, pure nonsense, please correct me] The

more depressing thing is that I have not understood the theme of "Sense and Emotion" twice after reading it twice. I feel that reading books tends to praise my sister's forbearance, but Li Ang himself said that he would like to express the mutual influence of the two sisters? This is really not very clear...

In addition, the behind-the-scenes footage of 05 "Pride and Prejudice" and Ang Lee's "Sense and Sensibility" are very interesting, so I won't talk about it.

Really talked a lot, thank you for watching it.
