Happiness comes too suddenly, happiness is always short-lived

"Jane Eyre" is a novel with beautiful writing, delicate euphemism, twists and turns, witty and humorous. I have loved it deeply since I was a child. Whenever I think of it, I will have the mood to read it at random.

For the original party, each version of the remake will inevitably have advantages and disadvantages, whether it is a BBC mini-series or condensed into a 2-hour movie. Compared with the 71 version of dubbing achievements and the 83 version of the BBC mini-series, which is extremely loyal to the original work, the 2011 version of "Jane Eyre" has done a lot of subtraction, which is quiet and fresh. Whether it is the light-hearted dialogue between the male and female protagonists, the restrained and compatible music, or the calm and a bit alienated camera images, they are like water droplets sliding over the top of a tree and dripping into the heart of the lake, awakening the memory of this novel in your heart.

The combination of Mia and Fassbender can't be perfect, but who can? On the contrary, their unique temperament and charm endow the characters with different lives. Even if there are many differences with the images of the hero and heroine in the original work in their hearts, they are willing to give tacit approval in less than 2 hours. It's the magic of their performances.

The psychology of being able to perform characters with few lines is powerful. On the premise that the dialogue has been greatly cut and the plot is limited and reserved, Mia used her eyes and expressions with few changes to liven up the self-respecting, simple, stubborn and affectionate girl. simple. Compared with my favorite Timothy Dalton's 83 version of the handsome and criminal Rochester, Fassbender's Rochester is like a composite image of a girl's natural enlightenment, a scheming uncle and a soul-mate. From the first time I saw Jane Eyre, I often showed inexplicable intimacy that was different from the original, and sometimes even close to flirting, but I didn't think he was frivolous... It must be because of his blue eyes that flashed clear and melancholy. , um~

I will always remember the young girl Jane in the movie who just came to Thornfield from Lowood boarding school and just started her adult life. She stayed at the window alone, looking at the horizon under the setting sun in the distance, not knowing what she was about to experience in her life. Situation, which people we meet with intersection... After all, everyone's happiness is hard-won in the face of changing fate.

Let go of the entanglement about the loyalty of the original work, and I am willing to quietly accept the interpretation of this story from another angle and method... I read the 2011 version twice, and every time I ended up crying, I couldn't help myself. Well, director and creator, you won.
