Elizabeth is not one of my favorites

I have always paid attention to female-oriented action movies, but I don’t know why. My two favorites at the box office failed miserably. One is "Life and Death Fighting" directed by Yuan Kui. I think that regardless of the plot, action and appearance. An excellent movie, with a production cost of 21 million US dollars, won a box office of only 7.5 million US dollars. The other is the film "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", which cost 28 million US dollars and only won more than 16 million global box office. Very unsatisfactory.

"Pride and Prejudice" is my favorite foreign masterpiece, not one of them. My favorite clip is Darcy's two confession to Elizabeth. I have read those two paragraphs dozens of times, and I still have more thoughts. This film is also adapted from a novel, a fan fiction written by Steve Hawkensmith. The content of the novel is naturally very exciting, so it was made into a movie; but I didn't expect the movie version to be so good-looking, it was really a pleasant surprise.

From the perspective of the plot, the story is basically based on "Pride and Prejudice", and the characters are also based on the original description, but with the addition of the zombie element, which makes people sigh that the author feels very fresh and exciting at the same time. The main selling point of this film is not the plot, but the character portrayal and the fun and lively scenes of fighting zombies. For Lily James, who plays the heroine Elizabeth, naturally cannot expect her to perform the effect of Elizabeth in the 2005 version of "Pride and Prejudice", because that version has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But to add, maybe I love this version of Elizabeth too much, and thus fall in love with Lily James, so I don’t think Lily James’ appearance and acting skills will be worse than that of the 05 version’s starring Keira Knight, just The path of personal development is different.

Lily James will naturally show a kind of heroic spirit, this kind of natural heroic spirit is very rare, so it is perfect for her to play the action version of Elizabeth. There is no shortage of female-oriented action movies in Hollywood, such as the "Resident Evil" series and the "Dark Legend" series. Milla Jovovich and Kate Beckinsale can be said to be outstanding representatives of Hollywood action actresses, but All they have is the toughness among women, but they don't have a kind of natural heroic spirit, which is a little inadequate. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, which may not be shared by everyone.

In this film, Elizabeth's smile when playing with her sisters is so innocent and lively; the anticipation and disdain that she showed when she watched others dancing at the dance party is so shy and cute; when she encounters zombies, she looks from her trousers. When he took out the dagger and killed the zombies, he was so decisive and brave; he was so quick and free when he took care of his sister and killed Mr. Darcy’s scavenging flies with one hand; when he was forced by his mother to accept his cousin’s proposal When he was so helpless and angry; when he fought with Mr. Darcy and rejected his proposal, he was so decisive and sad; when he finally agreed to Mr. Darcy's proposal, he was so affectionate and happy. Forgive me for loving this Elizabeth so much, so the evaluation is full of praise.

Just like the first time Elizabeth refused to confess Mr. Darcy’s confession in the original novel, I also like the first confession of Mr. Darcy’s first confession in this film, especially during the fierce fight between the two, the classic dialogue The interpretation is even more exciting and beautiful. Elizabeth's prejudice and anger, even a bit crazy, these emotions were vented thoroughly and vividly along with her fighting skills that are not inferior to men; what is even more surprising is that the hero's superior skill, with Arrogant and unyielding, he fought back one by one. Of course, the hero is still merciful. This section is really enjoyable.

Many people say that the male protagonist of the film is too bad, especially the sound is not good. But as a zombie hunter, I think the male protagonist’s appearance and body shape are qualified, and in the film, the male protagonist’s lines and expressions are also quite good, and the performance is also above the level. The film’s box office is low. Maybe some people don’t like the male protagonist’s appearance. There is really no way.

Elizabeth's other sisters also have their own characteristics, but they are all beautiful and beautiful. The eldest sister Zhen is naturally beautiful and brave, and her love with Mr. Bentley is also a beautiful couple. I even wonder if the author can write another sequel from their perspective to extend this series. The third and fourth youngest describe too little, but the fifth Lydia has an interesting scene: After meeting Lieutenant Wickham with a few sisters, Lydia smiled in front of Wickham and said to Wickham. us", the latter shot dragged a few guns reluctantly, quite happy.

As for Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Bennett, the interpretation of these two is no worse than that of other versions, and even this version is more funny. And Matt Smith, who plays the cousin of Elizabeth in the film, is the boyfriend of Lily James outside the play. I don’t know how he feels as a cousin and priest in the play to witness marriage for his girlfriend in the play?

    what the hell. The big devil is pretty handsome.

    Why do I think it looks good? Is it because I have too much brains. At first I was hesitant to watch it after seeing the bad reviews, but finally I went in with my friends. As soon as he opened his mouth, he died of laughter "it is known that a zombie in possession of a brain always wants more brains." He has been in 2333, although there are many strange logics, but he doesn't care at all. Familiar yet unfamiliar, like watching bbc's sherlock for the first time
