Who is Edward?

Edward is the favorite object of Eleanor Dashwood, the sister flower in Miss Jane’s masterpiece Sense and Emotion. Because of the marriage contract, he has to suppress his love for Eleanor, suffering himself and hurting others, and a book of disappointment and hatred. Leave it until the end of the book to clarify. I have long regarded Edward as a "shadow gentleman." He is neither as fierce as the surviving Willoughby, nor is it accompanied by the silently standing Colonel Brandon, as warm as tea. The gang did not appear a few times, and most of their deeds were nothing but gossip about women and children, and every time they appeared, they suddenly rushed back, embarrassed and retreated, and the disciples aggravated the gloomy weight.

Another reason why I am so separated from him is that I am actually not familiar with the book itself. I haven't really "read" it in the sense that I listened to it from the beginning. The English listening meal that I added to myself when I was studying has changed the teaching terms early in the morning. It is probably better than untrustworthy. It only asks for ears to patrol and understands every word, but completely ignores the flesh and blood, not to mention the particularly erratic one. Bit. I was busy with K-books a few months ago, I couldn’t sleep late at night, and I listened to it again when I hung up my headphones. The mellow affection between the two ladies of the Dashwood family often made my eyes hot, and Brother Edward was still blurred by me as the background sound before going to bed. . Regrettably after watching the movie Miss Austin, I stumbled on Henry’s domestic helper praising reason and emotion for a long time, saying that the most considerate of love can write that this endowment is already God’s favor, and it is worthy of this life. Then I found it I couldn't find this small book that I remembered personally. I checked the list and found that it was still in Shanghai, so I had to add two pages of the PDF given by Wikipedia.

However, in calculation, the reason for the obscurity of the absent male is not due to my unilateral responsibility, and Ms. Jian herself "cannot be blamed." I remember one night when I heard that Edward was about to jump out of bed when he visited Nolan Dashwood's house for the first time. The indirect reduction of the writing method can not be added, only in the in-depth discussion of Dashwood's mother, daughter, and sisters. The former praised him for being a very different person from his sister, the current mistress of the Dashwood family: the stingy, snobbish, mean and cold-blooded Fanny; the latter. Discuss whether he is talented and handsome, the sisters hold their own words, and the younger sister can tell the truth from the older sister every minute. As for how he appeared in Nolan's old house, what he did during his stay as a guest, and what he said, there is no detailed explanation.

By comparison, I can’t help but admire the attempt made by the film of the same name directed by Ang Lee and written by Emma Thompson more than ten years ago for the figure of Edward. Ms. Jane pushed Edward's role into Dashwood's house and was driven away by Fanny and settled in the remote Batengshan Township. After the second Miss Marianne fell in love. She longed for her lover Willoughby to turn her head, and even mistaken Edward on horseback for him. At the moment when her vision was clear, she was enthusiastic and met the cold current. The clever Miss Jane made a sudden turn: at that time, it was only there. Edward can be forgiven. In Marianne's heart, his arrival and the sincere happiness that may be given to her sister are nothing more than the symbolic continuation of the broken love she could not keep. So she cried and laughed, with tears in her laughter. This is a very touching detail. This naturally brings in Edward's speech, expression, and mood for a week, while his previous image was only sketched on the side. There is no problem with such a layout in the book. If it is put on the screen, the vacuum of the previous situation has hardly provided any pictures or dialogues that can be based on. It can be said that you have to act as a bone diagram.

The reason and emotion of the earlier movie version is very mechanical at this node. However, the way of reading aloud that is boring in the discussion between Eleanor and Marian, and that Edward Tablet is not useful for reading is repeated. With the Lee version, Edward can firmly hold the viewer's heart since the opening. Mrs. Dash Woodwood rounded up the absent young girl Margaret, saying that she was not used to seeing strangers, and Edward responded, and he himself was very shy. Sister Fanny forcibly misappropriated a Dashwood sister's room to her younger brother and asked him how good the view outside the window was. Unexpectedly, he had already switched to a side room, and instead implicitly praised the view across the room and the stables well maintained. Margaret hid in the library, and he chatted with Eleanor about geography and brought out the scholar under the table. He acts as a swordsman for Margaret, understands Marianne's sad piano, and talks everything with Eleanor. He has feelings about the past, and he almost wants to talk, but it stops abruptly. This ten-minute play was handled by Hugh Grant, who was pronouncing, cautious, and slightly out of character. He was not as eloquent as the Oxford people I know, and he has been performing in a state of hesitation and reservation. Every sentence, Every action rigorously echoes the labels Ms. Jane put on Edward: bad words, restrained, sincere and considerate, with the meaning of idle clouds and wild cranes, fettered in the hope of the matriline.

I have watched this movie on and off quite a few times. When Edward first appeared on the stage, and afterwards, he wiped his eyes and rubbed his nose because he could not meet the passionate reading required by Marianne. He always laughed out loud, secretly sighing, Miss Jane. There are still outstanding confidants like Emma Thompson and Ang Lee who are familiar with her shallow joy.

The drama of adding flesh and blood continues until the center of the story shifts to London. Edward came to visit the Dashwood sisters, and as soon as he walked in, he ran into Miss Lucy Steele, whom he had personally appointed for life. Miss Jian described his astonishment, and the thought of turning around and leaving was as strong as the recklessness of going to the meeting alone. If it weren’t for considering the gathering of old love and new love, it was indeed an unexpectedly foolish scene. When I heard this, I couldn’t smile without force. The book is mixed with Marianne, who is unclear about the situation, ending with Edward's fidgeting and hastily saying goodbye, while the annoying Lucy will have to wait until he leaves before leaving. Ang Lee's version was twisted here, and the editor told Edward that she was going back to Fanny. Lucy jumped up and asked if he could ask him to escort him. She also happened to be going to greet him. Everyone has their own thoughts and subtle eyes, and Hugh Grant looks like a dumb Coptis, wishing to kill him cleanly. After a thin change of hands, the plot suddenly escalated, showing obvious screenwriting skills, and especially emphasizing the evil star in Edward's fate, and there are hardships to say.

The 07BBC version is much more rational and emotional than the Li Ang version. Edward’s scenes can be easily copied from the original. Where the original line is drawn, it is obvious that the Li Ang version has been scrutinized, such as The Stables, the dusty library, Edward’s treatment Analysis of his character, friendship with the Dashwood family, being forced to leave by Lucy Steele, etc. I watch movies when I know the plot and even the dialogue, and I am often very picky. The rational and emotional film adaptations gave me very different feelings, especially when I realized that the main part of the original work itself might lead to blank images. Therefore, I always have a little warmth. In the classic repertoire of Miss Jane who thinks that changing a few sets of robes and a few hair styles can be called Miss Jian, there are still well-crafted products that have the real intention to help her shine. Jane Mi's team.

What I know about Edward is probably also benefited from this old production. Of course, the story has to be contemporary. In the proposal section of the book, Eleanor burst into tears of joy and rushed out of the house. After a while, Edward stunned to catch up. After that, his mood changed from fierce to down-to-earth, and Ms. Bypass. The movie can't slow down the gentleman like this, you have to confess after crying. This is the case for the Lee Ang version, and the same for the 07 version. This is also a passage where the tear ducts of many Miss Jian readers, including me, are shining. In me, my ears transmit general signals with my eyes, reaching the drain.

But now, for Eleanor’s rejoicing, I’m more likely to feel sorry for Miss Jian behind her, Fanghua Zhengmao wrote such a clean and refreshing story, and waited until her 30s before publishing it on a small scale. Her tolerance for everything is even longer. Why didn’t even a silly Edward who was as straight as a moon and breeze appear in her clear eyes? After she can’t let her relax, she smiles and greets, how are you? , Edward?
