bad shit

Saw the movie as a former veteran Jane Austen fan.

I'm very disappointed that a clichéd and boring story has been linked to six Jane Austen books in a far-fetched and overly hypocritical way.

The man who participated in the book club was quite interesting. In my acquaintance, all who like Jane Austen are women. When a man sees Jane for the first time, all he can get is the relationship between Edmund and Fanny's brother-sister-like love and Princess Leia's and Luke Skywalker's brother-sister infidelity in Interstellar. I was completely amused when I saw this girl.

Also the movie didn't impress me too much. The writers always try to pull out the concepts of morality, self-control and women's responsibility that are always advocated in Jane Austen's novels from these ordinary stories of ordinary people, which I find very boring.

Movies that can be deleted after watching it once. Jane Austen's books can still be read more.

    live like Jane Austen. It would be better if you read all of her books.

    Once again, I found that I am really not suitable for movies about warm middle-aged people. Even if it uses Jane Austen as a gimmick = =

The Jane Austen Book Club quotes

  • Editor: Dear Ms. Corrine Mahern, we regret that we must decline to publish the three short stories you sent to us. 'Benny's Basketball' is strong narratively, but the depiction of your penis-waving retarded boy felt a little unkind. And isn't the title 'Separating Eggs For Flan' a bit obvious as a metaphor for your parents' divorce? Yet we confess that 'Skydiver' puzzled us most. Why would a beautiful, self-centered young lesbian jump out of a plane?

  • Jocelyn: If we stay in this lane, we're going to be late.

    Grigg Harris: Given that I have to convert donut grease into biofuel every time I fill up the tank, I try not to drive very fast.

    Jocelyn: We're barely moving... Why are you getting off here?

    Grigg Harris: I enjoy seeing the river.

    Jocelyn: What are you, Mark Twain? Now we're gonna get stuck at every light.
