The Pride and Prejudice of the Rich Second Generation Version

Daron 2022-01-08 08:02:46

Emma seems to be the rich second-generation version of Elizabeth, at first glance. But in fact, the two protagonists are much worse apart from being smart. A woman's cleverness and small tricks make her so much better than Lizzy. This may be related to the over-dependence of her father and father, or it may be related to her not having a mother who is as marketable as Lizzy. In short, this time, the Austin girl is a bit less stubborn with inferiority complex, and more is a bit arrogant to grow up with a silver spoon.
Some people say Emma is selfish, maybe she can't empathize with her. In fact, compared to the selfishness of everyone, the limitations of our heroine are already pitiful.

    CP can't make me forgive this woman no matter how punctual it is = =! ! She's really the dumbest self-righteous heroine I've seen in years! The tragedy is that I have to mention a warning = = Ewan is also the stupidest look of his career. But Knightly is perfect. The film overall is pretty good.

    Emma is as always unlovable, selfish girl, this version of Mr. Knightley is the most in line with the original, handsome and mature, and Ivan's Frank is too rubbed, hairstyle determines whether everything is there!

Emma quotes

  • Mr. Knightley: Emma, how could you be so unfeeling to Miss Bates? How can you be so insolent to a woman of her age and situation? I had not thought it possible.

    Emma: How could I help saying it? I daresay she did not understand me.

    Mr. Knightley: I assure you, she felt your full meaning. She cannot stop mentioning it. I wish you could have heard her honour your forbearance in putting up with her when her society is so irksome.

    Emma: I know there is no better creature in all the world, but you must allow that blended alongside the good, there is an equal amount of the ridiculous in her.

    Mr. Knightley: Were she prosperous or a woman equal to you in situation, I would not quarrel with you about any liberties of manner. But she is poor, even more so than when she was born. And should she live to be an old lady, she will sink further still. Her situation being in every way below you should secure your compassion! Badly done, Emma. Badly done. She has watched you grow from a time when her notice of you was an honour to this, humbling her, laughing at her in front of people who would be guided by your treatment of her. It is not pleasant for me to say these things, but I must tell you the truth while I can, proving myself your friend by the most faithful counsel, trusting that sometime you will do my faith in you greater justice that you do it now.

  • Mr. Knightley: The truest friend does not doubt... but hope.
