The 2005 version of "Pride and Prejudice" is a film adapted from Jane Austen's novel of the same name and directed by Joe Wright. The film mainly tells the story of the beautiful Elizabeth's reaction to Mr. Darcy because of his arrogant attitude. He was prejudiced. After all kinds of twists and turns, they finally put aside their differences and came together. The film revolves around the Bennett family and shows the heroine's unique view of love in a society where money was the main reference for marriage. At the same time, in the film, there are also the marriages of Elizabeth sisters and their friends, which serve as foils and further highlight the theme of the film. "Only love can bring me into marriage." This is Elizabeth's wise saying in the film.

The story of Darcy and Elizabeth's restored love, as a classic romantic symbol in British culture, is always pure and untainted. I really like Elizabeth's figure standing by the lake. She is smart, thoughtful but has nothing to wait for. She has the courage to treat love with the courage of "I am already graceful and have no worries and no fears." Once you understand your own mind, you will no longer be afraid. In contrast to the arrogance and rudeness of Darcy's aunt, Elizabeth's persistence was even more prominent. She moved me.

I personally think that the director of this film took great pains. The film was filmed in the countryside of England, with green mountains and beautiful scenery. It can be said that the lakes and mountains are so beautiful that they match the romantic love. The story, and the elegant classical dresses, are really the ultimate in beauty and romance. At the beginning of the film, the cheerful chirping of birds can be heard before the picture is seen, and then there is a quiet and beautiful picture of a mountain forest village when the sun rises. Then the picture starts to brighten, and the orange yolk-like sun slowly rises in the upper left corner. , in a moment, the small mountain village was enveloped in a gentle golden color - without too many words or trivial camera editing, the audience in front of the screen calmed down in just a few seconds, as if they were actually there. territory. Then our heroine appeared. The beautiful girl was holding a book in her hand and walking on the path in the early morning while reading. The golden sun was behind her, and the golden soft light hit her body - another few seconds. , embodying her freshness, beauty, elegance and intellectuality. Following her pace, the camera showed pigs passing by in groups, quacking white geese, chickens and ducks, white clothes hanging to dry in the courtyard, and a girl playing the piano... This is a set of natural long shots that successfully succeeded It has shaped the liveliness of this place and the brisk lifestyle in the countryside, full of the interest of life. I started liking this movie from the beginning. Perhaps we have lived in the city for too long, and the crowds and chaotic traffic have made us unbearable. Seeing flocks of ducks and geese, towering trees, sparkling lakes and short wooden bridges, With green grass, we can feel peaceful from inside. From the Bennett family to the Bentley family to the Darcy family, from the most ordinary British farmhouse to the luxurious and aristocratic manor of the upper class, everything reflects the elegance and calmness of the English gentleman in the 19th century.

[Clothing]

We can’t talk about the setting without mentioning the clothes. I think the classical British lady’s clothing can very well reflect the elegance and femininity of women. The wide neckline highlights the women’s neck. No matter your neck is long or short, such a neckline design will make your neck look slender and charming, and the waist design of this long skirt can also highlight women's thin waist and legs. The long figure and ankle-length skirt make women look aristocratic when walking. I particularly like the dark green dress Elizabeth wears, it is elegant and charming. The men's boots, breeches and long white shirt and coat bring the gentleman's style to the extreme. This is especially the most chic and elegant in the long shot of Mr. Darcy walking from far to near at the end.

[Performance] Keira Knightley, who plays the heroine, performed very well in "Pride and Prejudice". She was aura, lively and lovely, and she also showed Elizabeth's tough self. Just right. .

Matthew Macfadyen, it is said that this actor who started his career as a stage actor is very unique and talented, and I can understand that. His eyes, blue eyes, were always affectionate when looking at Elizabeth, clear and complex, always giving people a sense of silent calmness. At first, he was slightly conceited, and later he was puzzled by the rejection of Elizabeth's confession. and sadness, to the melancholy when staring at Elizabeth quietly, and finally the joy when Elizabeth accepted him. His eyes were beautiful, clean and complex.

[Book and Film]

It is difficult to adapt a novel into a TV series, and then condense it into a 2-hour movie. It is even more important to extract the essence and make the storyline smooth. In the 2005 version of "Proud", it seems that the story is still developing a bit quickly, the connection is a bit stiff in some places, and the explanations of some characters are still not clear enough. However, these are not problems, these are inevitable. Overall, it is still very smooth and compact. It's moderate, and I think it's even worse in the few scenes that were changed. For example, when Mr. Darcy proposes to Elizabeth for the first time, the novel takes place in a room, but the movie changes to a rainy day outdoors. Firstly, the movie has to make adjustments for the development of the plot. Secondly, the adjusted scene is more expressive and more in line with modern times. human taste.

A romantic proposal like a proposal would not be as touching in a rigid living room as in a quaint building on a rainy day. Perhaps the director realized that modern urban life has made us lose interest in gray skyscrapers and dark crowds of people, so he emphasized the quiet landscape scenery of the British countryside. Many romantic scenes take place among lakes and mountains, and the British Common rain also plays a big role, and the audience can feel the freshness and natural fragrance from the shots after the rain. In the final scene, Mr. Darcy walks through the clouds again. The sky gets brighter little by little, and the shadowy Mr. Darcy gradually becomes clearer. Everything has a dreamlike feeling. This is all created by the director's use of the lens. The beauty of it, and readers who have never experienced this kind of scenery and simply read books will not be able to appreciate this poetic beauty.

This film makes people feel a lot, whether it is thoughts about love, the pleasure the film itself brings to us, or it triggers our yearning for beautiful and fresh nature to enjoy a leisurely and comfortable life. Regardless of poverty or wealth, everyone is spiritually equal. True love should be based on the same noble soul, not on the same family background.
