I don't dare to write a review of Jane Austen's works. I have read very little of it, and I need to attend an "Austen Book Club" myself. My superficial understanding is limited to the few films I have watched. In "Persuasion", the front is mostly hesitant and uneasy struggles, deliberately cold tones, and the mood is like Annie fell into the muddy water and suddenly became cold. Only at the end of Annie's run, it was done in one go, and it warmed up again, which left me with a memory - in that era, 28 years old was already an old girl, Annie was running, her figure was a little clumsy, and her hair was messed up, however. You don't think she's embarrassed, and she's going back and forth several times, all in order to catch up with Wentworth. . .

In the final shot of "Pride and Prejudice", before sunrise, in the fields of the English countryside, through the waist-length grass wet with thick fog and dew, Darcy slowly walked towards Elizabeth, so the dawn behind him pulled away Haze, a beam of golden light scatters. . .

In "Becoming Jane Austen", Austen and Lefroy, a pair of lovers, ran down from the mountains and the carriage started. Although the future is unknown, even I hope that the legend of the talented and the beautiful will really be created. . .

Could it be more than just Austin? In "Time Planning Bureau", when people are born in the future, their arms will be engraved with electronic imprints of the remaining time, and young mother Rachel Salas, dressed in red, faces her son when time is running out. Running, I like Olivia Wilder's eyes, whenever you can't see any other emotions, there is only hope and desire, inspiring. . .

Back in the early 1900s, Miss Potter and William circled the meadows of the Lakeland farm before choosing a farm to avoid industrial development. After a long summer and the saddest wind and rain, she escaped from London, only to return to the flowers and rabbits that had accompanied her since childhood. . .

At this point, I suddenly understood the artistic conception of the recent movie "Cloud Atlas", and the meaning of the plot that I could not understand is not important. Each of the above profound scenes, assembled together, is the story of the "cloud map" in my heart. Human beings have a common will, longing for freedom, and the mood to run towards happiness. This is what I can read from the heart of Anne's running, no matter ancient or modern, the feeling of happiness can meet.

Persuasion quotes

  • Lady Russell: Anne! Who is Admiral Croft? And why does he cause you to be out of countenance so?... Anne.

    Anne Elliot: Admiral Croft's wife is... is...

    Lady Russell: Mrs. Croft.

    Anne Elliot: Indeed. And Mrs. Croft is the sister of Captain... Frederick Wentworth.

    Lady Russell: Wentworth? I see. I see.

    Anne Elliot: To think that soon he may be walking through this house.

    Lady Russell: Anne, you know that your father thought it a most unsuitable match. He would never have countenanced an alliance he deemed so degrading.

    Anne Elliot: He was not alone, as I recall.

    Lady Russell: My dear, to become engaged at 19, in the middle of a war, to a young naval officer who had no fortune and no expectations. You would indeed have been throwing yourself away. And I should have been failing in my duty as your godmother if I did not counsel against it. You were young, and it was entirely prudent to break off the understanding.

  • Sir Walter Elliot: Come, come, Anne! We must not be late. You cannot have forgotten we have an invitation from Lady Dalrymple.

    Anne Elliot: I regret I am already engaged to spend the evening with an old school-friend.

    Elizabeth Elliot: Not that sickly old widow in Westgate-buildings?

    Anne Elliot: Mrs Smith. Yes.

    Sir Walter Elliot: Smith? Westgate building?

    Mrs. Clay: Excuse me.

    Sir Walter Elliot: And who, pray, is Mrs Smith? One of the five thousand Smiths that are everywhere to be met with? Upon my word, Miss Anne Elliot, you have the most extraordinary taste. To place such a person ahead of your own family connections among the nobility of England and Ireland. Mrs Smith!

    Anne Elliot: Perhaps she is not the only poor widow in Bath with little to live on and no surname of dignity. Good evening.
