More than brisk, timeless

After watching the movie "Emma", compared with other adaptations of Jane Austen, such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility", it is inevitable to pale in comparison. Overall, it's more than brisk, and it's timeless, and a little sorry for the original. In particular, the female lead's performance is relatively flat, not delicate and rich enough. Although Miss Austin's tone is sarcastic and full of wisdom that sees through the world, she is affectionate, considerate and gentle. She does not look down at the world with hatred or hatred, but looks at it with a smile. Full of tenderness for the flawed world. Too bad the movie seems to have lost that quality. Fortunately, the beautiful British countryside scenery in the movie, the elegant interior decoration, and the beautiful clothes made me very satisfied. At that time, the rich, comfortable and beautiful life of the English country gentry was indeed enviable. I really like Austen's writing about human relationships, marriage between men and women, and bickering and quarrels. Although they are all turmoil in a teacup, her writing is so witty, witty and humorous that it is a real pleasure to read. I like her stuff more than the tricks of modern novels. The taste is not heavy, and there are not many tricks, but it is interesting and attractive, and the sentences and paragraphs are very beautiful. It's like afternoon tea that Britons can't live without.
