"Sense and Sensibility"--Awakened Love

Monte 2022-08-03 19:09:49

A squire dies, his son inherits the estate, and his stepmother and three sisters are forced to leave. With the help of a cousin, the family settled into the hut. Among the three sisters, the eldest sister and the vicious sister-in-law's younger brother have mutual affection, but they have not been named, and they lost contact after moving. The good times didn't last long, and the young talent lost his right to inherit and went to London. Soon after, the second sister found out that he had a marriage contract, and it was painful, while the eldest sister found that the lover in her heart had already been privately set for life, so she could only give her blessings. The love of the two sisters is dying, but soon they also find their own happiness.

Idea:

1. Sometimes it's not that you don't love; it's just that another thing overcomes love.

2. The eldest sister is mostly rational, and the second sister is mostly emotional, but in the end, the emotion that the eldest sister finally broke out and the reason that the second sister suddenly awakened brought them to happiness.

3. Never forget the concept of equality between men and women, no matter how many tragedies the male inheritance system in the film has caused, and never make the same mistakes twice.

A well-known director, really worth watching.

    It is not surprising that Ang Lee's first foreign language film excavates Jane Austen under six feet for "criticism", because the lifestyles of those who uphold "Pride and Prejudice" are completely in line with the relationship between explicit and implicit in traditional Chinese culture And the reality of the misjudgment of self-perception in "Diet Men and Women". His gradually improving "Sense and Sensibility" not only crosses the cultural context of East and West and is neutral between the two, but also sees the unity of historicity and modernity in the seemingly opposite phrases of the 18th century texts.

    From a personal point of view, I look tired, slow to die, and boring. Although Austin wrote a humble country story, there must be something attractive; Ang Lee is indeed not easy, but it seems that I missed it. The point of British classics seems to be the same as outsiders watching.
