After watching it I don't think it has any meaning...
Reese Witherspoon's acting skills are put aside for now, because all the fault is not hers.
The fault lies with the director.
The director of the film, Mira Nair, is an Indian (please consider her nationality first).
She mistakenly puts too much emotion into the film, and in a blunt, superficial, unacceptable way. Her understanding of the original book is only limited to those seductions, those beautiful playthings and luxurious scenes.
I don't think the director's understanding of the heart of the protagonist of the original novel is very biased, but I have great doubts about the method of abandoning the purest expression for some scenes.
The most offensive thing is that she adds what she calls an Indian plot to the film for no reason. Although India was once a British colony, I don't think Indian culture had that much influence on Britain in the 19th century. This can also be seen in the original novel and other British novels of the same period.
The director's superficial skills are very good, nonsensical introduction of Indian singing and dancing scenes into the film...
After I saw it, I was helpless and gritted my teeth...
Do non-British directors have to add their own national complex when shooting a British film? ?
Is it conceivable for Ang Lee to add Chinese drama or some kind of demon in the film "Sense and Sensibility"?
So I despise her...
