All by myself

No! I like you very much,
Just as you are.

This is a simple confession, but it is also a confession that I have heard before. When Mr. Darcy uttered this dialogue word by word and slowly, I believe that there are not many women who are indifferent. Since then, women have prayed that God can bestow us such an excellent man like you just the way, including me of course.

It can be said responsibly that I like this movie very much. After watching the two in one go, my mouth couldn't close together with a smile, as if BJ's Darcy was my Darcy. This elegant, delicate man is tall and thin with short hair. The sideburns are very long and outrageous, like they came from an ancient British nobleman. It wasn't until I finished reading that I was surprised to see why this man was so familiar? Only after Baidu knew that he had already met this person. In the new version of "Pride and Prejudice", his hair was very long at that time. Of course, the reason I didn’t remember him was probably because of his hair. Too long, does not fit the perfect Darcy in the center of my heart. In fact, "BJ Singles Diary" is a movie before "Pride and Prejudice", and I just reversed the order of watching it. In fact, I fell in love with Darcy in BJ-Mark. Darcy, whose actor is colin firth, a legendary Englishman. So in fact, this at least shows one thing: people cannot be judged by their looks.

In the end, "BJ" is at best a modern version of "prejudice", and the plot is quite similar. But I have to say that the former is more special. Especially not elsewhere, but in BJ. Smoking and drinking BJ, shameless BJ, nervous BJ, obese older BJ... And just such a BJ, she actually won the love of Mr. Darcy.

The reason why such a dramatic British-style humorous film has become a classic is that all settings conform to the imagination of all women. Including Mark. Darcy, including BJ, also includes the handsome boss. Obviously, this movie is for women who are inferior, stupid, but still full of fantasies about love.

The story begins like this. BJ met Mark at the new year party at the age of 32, which was actually a blind date arranged by his parents. Darcy, he was wearing a ridiculous T-shirt, he was a ridiculous person in her first impression, although maybe they really knew and played together when they were young. So she corrupted herself in front of him, to the greatest extent possible. There is an 80% probability in the usual blind date meeting.

The blind date made her understand that if things go on like this, her wine will become her lifelong partner. The new year begins with sad old songs: the fat BJ dances to the music on the sofa, sometimes melancholy, sometimes passionate, this look is very funny, but it makes me like this BJ in an instant. How many people have not been so funny? When lonely, dance in the mirror or to the rhythm of the music, dance, scream, cry and smile. Yes, All by myself anymore! This is the saddest cry lurking in the heart of 32-year-old BJ, and it is also the heart of us spectators.

With the gradual aging of the years, wrinkles in the corners of the eyes continue to breed, and there is no one who can rely on for life. Such a miserable situation has to endure the joking and laughter of others. Every year, every year when the New Year's bell rings, I tell myself to start again, my wishes are getting more and more dim, but my heart is getting more and more flustered. I was afraid that I would grow old alone, and be discovered by a dog only three weeks after his death. Looking at BJ who is decadent in alcohol and smoke, I seem to be able to see myself years later, diary. This diary has been following us, I can't bear to open it, but it continues from time to time. BJ started to write a diary.


Real life is usually fate and no part, but in movies it is fate, which is indescribable. So BJ and Darcy are constantly meeting each other. Every time they meet, there is a small misunderstanding, and this small misunderstanding must last until the end to be solved, although the spectators can see A little depressed, I still believe that the ending of the fairy tale is: the princess and the prince live a happy life ever since.

Later, Darcy finally expressed his mind, which is the classic confession at the beginning of the article. This was enough, enough for the brave BJ who knew everything to follow, so she didn't forget to put on a pair of sexy underwear, at the most critical moment. This kind of BJ can't help making people laugh out loud, but I have to deny that she behaves like this is normal. BJ is any person we have become around us. She is actually very kind, simple, and even a little bold, but she is very charming and cute like this, and more importantly, she is brave enough in love. So you have to sigh that she was invincible afterwards, chasing after happiness in the snowy streets. That unstoppable, desperate running momentum. Then they kissed like no one on the street, and Darcy actually had such a "bad" time, so all the spectators laughed. BJ deserves happiness, and all of us deserve happiness.

Can you see it? What I like more is the first one, and I don't even bother to mention the second one. Of course, I am not saying that the second part is not good enough. Obviously, the subtitle of the second part is "Rational Edge". So, yes, I have not been rational enough in terms of feelings, including watching movies. It is very simple that the second part is purely an excellent enlargement of Mr. Darcy. He has not changed his mind. He looks very handsome in a fight with the tramp. It turns out that he just turned a big turn to show that he really loves as he said. The fat ugly woman BJ, the prince is nothing more than that, right? The extremely elegant Mr. Darcy finally showed the most charming smile.

BJ is no longer the one who writes a single diary and hangs out with a bunch of gays, old women and other friends in the bar. She still drinks secretly, but there is Mark by her side. Darcy. To a certain extent, she makes us seemingly young silly women feel confident. Who said that there can be no flowers in the dust? Um! Perhaps what we lack is the kind of confidence and enough charming smile and courage.

    I think that the 95 version of P&P didn’t make it to me, but I couldn’t do it, but looking back at the two male protagonists, CF and HG, it’s like a trance between cats and dogs, and it feels like a puppy. , The ace agent old man is really not easy 2333

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason quotes

  • Bridget Jones: [diary] Have never been happier in entire life. However, must not obsess or fantasize.

    [pause]

    Bridget Jones: Bridget Darcy; Mrs. Darcy; Mr. and Mrs. Darcy; Lord and Lady Darcy!

  • Bridget Jones: [diary] Wonder what Mark Darcy would be like as a father. Father to his children I mean, not to me. That would be weird Oedipus-like thought.
