A lot of people didn't like the movie, or even the original novel, but I personally did.
That "The Regrets of Jane Austen" shaped Jane like most readers imagined: she gave up love and marriage for the freedom of writing, she had a strong character, would rather be bent than bend, and shouted to her niece that you dare to sympathize with me, try it, and many admired distressed again. A talented old girl, what can she do so that people don't look at her with "pity", even though she may live as freely as she can.
Of her work, Persuasion is her last and less visible novel, but the closest she has ever come to love. The more famous "Pride and Prejudice", "Emma", "Sense and Sensibility", etc. are not about love, but about marriage and social relations. Austin uses her usual rational, detached and humorous tone to tell everyone that it is necessary to love for the sake of love. Getting married, but the wealth of the other party is equally important. Those who do not follow the general rules, such as elopement because of emotional impulses, love the wrong person because of passion, etc., are unwise and unseemly, and it is not easy to achieve happiness. Although the process of love happening here is quite romantic, it is always a bit mean.
And the love in "Persuasion" is more like love. It depicts the psychology of an old girl who has passed away in anticipation of love too well. She is no longer like the heroines in Austen's other novels, who carefully conceal her feelings and are dignified. And decently compete intellectually and emotionally with the male protagonist, but let go of his arrogant attitude and toss and turn, tearful, inferior, regretful, and cranky for his sweetheart like an ordinary little girl who falls in love. This is what love should look like. .
This film captures this core very well and enlarges it. If the original novel is ignored, the film does look a lot like a mediocre Cinderella story, with a nasty Mary Sue-esque vibe, with the heroine cowardly and cowering, waiting to be loved, too sissy, not at all like Austin's heroine. But combined with the creative background, this film has its own unique value, which can explain why Austen exposed the "girly heart" in her last novel, although no one can speculate whether Austen "regrets", "" Regret".
I don't want to see a person who has been under a hard shell for a long time and really becomes hard. Talent and intelligence are indeed valuable things, but if the price is emotional indifference and alienation, then this is Talent and intelligence are also not so moving. Yes, I would like to believe that the wise Austen returned to the innocence and stupidity of Girls' Generation in the latter part of his life, just longing for a mediocre love, like all silly girls, instead of becoming more sensible and unlovable, rational , Profound, etc. can see through the world but cannot warm life.
I believe the director thinks so too. So he finally let the heroine run on the street like a nympho regardless of decency to chase back the man she loves, instead of waiting for the hero to show her love, which is against Austin's "tradition". How could a person who can export such a realistic and cruel film as "The Obsession Platform" not know how to express the truth?
