A Jane's Story with an Austen Style
Becoming Jane--
A Jane's Story with an Austen Style
Between Sense& Sensibility and Pride & Prejudice was a life worth writing about. It's a Jane's story with an Austen style.Pride,prejudice,sense,sensibility,independence,love,wealth,responsibility and unexpectedness, those are what we might and have to face and accept in our short life. That's the Austen way of life, independent, bold,unconstrained ,unchangeable, but still beautiful like flowing rhythm.When Cass asked Jane how her two-young-woman story ,"Badly.","It gets worse.", and "They both make triumphant, happy endings.",she answered ,just an opposite reflection of her love; That's ironic however contained her beautiful wishes.
According to the screening order,the influences that Pride & Prejudice,Sense& Sensibility have made would help understand the movie more exactly. When thinking of the movie , we could easily find the Mr.Darcy's pride in Lefroy criticizing to Jane 's writing, Lizz'sPrejudice in Jane talking to Tom in the woods, Marianne's sensibility in Jane playing the cricket without the slightest hesitancy, and also Elinor's sense in Jane bravely getting back from running away with Tom.This is a mixture of Austen's work, delicate, romantic, and enchanting.And when coming into the story, we could easily find the sources of various characters of Austen's work. Well-educated young ladies,charming young men, very gentleman-like men, discourteous countrymen,the pride rich,and some regarded themselves as infallible,not made up only Austen's life ,but her novels also.Splendid surely!
Years passed by, they got old, but still their re-encounter filled with embarrassment and pity."Jane",the moment the name he spoke out to his daughter,brought her back to her 20,to the fantastic night he told her "Jane,I'm yours. I'm yours.I'm yours,heart and soul." she was totally moved,even more than that perfect night. She was put at ease.She was in happiness. He's still hers, even though his had an almost Lucy-like daughter,even though his daughter required too much. I'm absolutely moved by this. Time changed everything, except their love.
Austen,my most appreciated English female writer, actually did not look an Anne Hathaway-like, and the tale might just be a fictitious romantic one.Anyway, Hathaway did successfully show us a courageous independent elegant beautiful lady;moreover, the crystal-clear and mild Englishrural scenery put us in a romantic air, light soft background music perfect harmony with the story. Except for one tiny pity -- James McAvoy is too short, the movie is extremely worthwhile seeing.
