Another "P&P"

Movie schedules in small cities are a step slower, and the new version of "P&P" will only be released this weekend. I originally thought that tickets for such a literary movie would be easy to buy. I didn't rush to the theater 30 minutes before the opening, but there was only one spot left. It seems that in all corners of the world, the most important thing that cannot be underestimated is the number of literary young women. To say that I really regretted Jane Austen's untimely birth. If it is today, I would have to be more generous than JK Rowling; just this "P&P" will be shot again and again, and I have seen the earliest Laurence Olivier version. , The later classic version of the BBC, plus this film remake, the story never gets tired of telling the story, and the audience will never get tired of it. From the eighteenth century to the twenty-first century, the little ideals in women's hearts were calculated, and they were still praying for Mr. Darcy to fall from the sky. The only difference is that Elizabeth Bennet is renamed Bridget Jones; our Mr. Darcy is incarnate as Mr. Big, and there is also a perfect man named Jia Ming. New wine in old bottles is also circulated in the market.
Jane Austen's standards for judging men's good and bad are honest enough. Those who can be entrusted for life are good men, otherwise they are bad men. There is no shade of gray between black and white. I remembered that I watched a show on TV. The two generations of mothers and daughters found out the one you are most willing to marry and the least willing to marry in the standard photos of a group of men. It’s all photos, and I don’t see the character of the family. My mother is there to analyze that this person has thick lips and saves money; that person’s forehead is too narrow to develop or something, which makes me happy; the cosmetic surgery industry is more and more developed, absolutely It's true. If Jane Austen’s set is compiled into theories one by one and then published, it is definitely the "XX Guide" that will be on the ranking list in an instant; you haven’t seen so many people holding the teacher’s master as the Bible, romantic supremacy and anti-romanticism. Supremacy, when implemented desperately, has the same scary consequences.
But anyway, "P&P" is one of the most fairy tales in Jane Austen's works. The film is super beautiful, the scenery of England is unparalleled, the countryside scenery, the golden pond and the green grass, the details are so exquisite that the aftertaste is long. It's just that, except for the one where Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy teased at the dance party, it was full of Jane Austen style, and the other parts were completely romantic to death. Mr. Darcy is not Pride enough, not only is he not arrogant, but the expectation and anxiety in those beautiful eyes lightened my old heart. Matthew MacFadyen's face happened to be the most resistant to me. It was slender and angular, and his profile seemed to have been shaved off by an axe. When he walked in the morning mist, a few strands of hair were wet and stuck to his forehead, making me anxious. He whispered to Elizabeth, hurry up and have a hug and a French kiss. In the end, she just held his hand and kissed. To be honest, although my shooting method is more sensational and vulgar, why can’t it meet the real needs of the audience since I have already gone on the path of sensationalism? ! And I really can’t imagine that Mr. Darcy, who is indifferent and aloof, would walk around outside the house like a hairy boy when Elizabeth was discussing the marriage contract with his father in the study. It would be too unreserved, right? ; The girls of the Bennet family, nobody moved a stool for the gentleman...
Those who have seen the classic version of the BBC find it hard not to compare the two versions. According to my personal aesthetics, I prefer the appearance of Matthew MacFadyen; but according to the degree of similarity to Mr. Darcy in my imagination, I have to praise Colin Firth. Unrivaled tall and handsome, proud and noble, silent and serious, how do I think of him as Mr. Darcy, it is difficult to be a second person. As for Laurence Olivier, because girls' generation loves Vivien Leigh to death, after reading a biography of Vivien Leigh, he simply regards Laurence Olivier as a class enemy. Although I understand more and more about Laurence Olivier in this marriage as I grow older, the love and hatred when I was young is particularly clear, and I have never been able to pull it off. There is a gap between the three versions of Elizabeth and my imagination. The front page is too high, the BBC version is too fat, and the movie version is too wild. Keira Knightley is very beautiful, especially the clavicle part is too exquisite, but how to say, there is no Elizabeth's lively and wise, especially the kind of wisdom-based weight lifting. Keira Knightley looks more like the goose girl in the fairy tale, rural sect, who grows naturally, giggling out of her teeth, and later married a passing prince. Having said that, the Bennet family, as a local squire, actually raises pigs in the backyard, so it's no wonder that the girl from the family is wild. But at any rate, Elizabeth’s Prejudice should also be shown. The two components of "P&P" are neither Pride nor Prejudice in the movie. In addition to shaking my head, I regret to try to understand that maybe because the filming time was too short, I had to cut down. West cut so much that Jane Austen's soul was cut off. But the movie is worth going to see. For the sake of beautiful scenery, beautiful actors, and love classics that have been circulating for hundreds of years, it is not regarded as "P&P", but as a love story in the English countryside in the 18th century. It is also worth the price. .
Also, maybe I can dream of Mr. Darcy, ha ha.

    I admit that I am a face dog. "Pride and Prejudice" is the first novel I have read, and it is also a book that I still think is good. However, I was deeply hurt by the hero and the heroine of the drama version before, which made me almost feel psychological towards Darcy. The shadow is gone. In this movie, the women are beautiful, the men are not ugly, and the clothes are also good. It is very comfortable to watch.
