little surprise

I watched two British films about their female writers in half a year. The first one was "Miss Potter", which was reviewed before, and then this "Becoming Jane". Those who haven't seen both of them or you can try to watch the two films one after the other, you will find many similarities, but I personally think this one about Jane is more delicate in terms of psychological description.

The so-called little surprise is that I only noticed the starring Anne Hathaway in the publicity of radio and newspapers, and it was not until I sat in the theater facing the screen that I discovered a familiar face little by little: in "Six Feet Under" and "" The old actors James Cromwell, Maggie Smith (as far back as "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" and "Harry Potter" series as far back as "The Queen"), and, because a former friend recommended the BBC adaptation of the Dickens novel Anna Maxwell Martin, who is known for shooting "Bleak House"! Anna was born in the late 1970s, with an ordinary appearance, but her performance is quite engaging. When I went to London in December, I temporarily decided to give priority to "Billy Elliot" and gave up the musical "Cabaret" she was performing at the time. Since then, I have been a little bit worried, so today I suddenly found that she is also a little happy in this movie.

This year marks the 190th anniversary of Austen's death, and this unparalleled anniversary is not necessarily about the reason why her movies and TV series have appeared one after the other in the UK. But it is true that at this time, the British ITV is carrying out The Jane Austen Season, which compares the relatively less mentioned "Mansfield Park", "Northanger Abbey" and "Persuasion" compared with "Pride and Prejudice". onto the TV screen. In addition, the popular classical music station Classic FM has also cooperated with ITV to launch audiobooks of these three works. So, people like me who don't watch TV are somewhat lucky to download audiobooks.

When I said "Miss Potter" last time, I said that the scenery of the Scottish Lake District is well presented in the film. I wonder if this film about Austin and ITV's Jane Austen Season are over. Will the tourists who go to Bath because of Austin? increase.

    Maybe I'm being too harsh, but Annie is too unfit for the role, the accent, the image, the feel is wrong. What's more, the director and screenwriter are playing tickets in the name of Austin.

    She never loved anyone in her whole life, just because on that day, after the dance, in the rose garden, under the night sky. He said to her I am yours.
