Pride and Prejudice is an early novel by Jane Austen. Among the film and television works adapted from Austin's many novels (2005 edition), it is my favorite.

At the beginning of the film, the whole picture shows the quiet and natural atmosphere of the countryside and the soft yellow light. Elizabeth walked and read, immersed in it.

Then came a series of shots, in which Elizabeth crossed the river bridge, the drying white sheets and the house. The camera then enters the room, with sister Jane holding embroidered cloth, and sister Katie and Lydia chasing each other.

With the piano sound of Mary, the youngest sister, the camera went out from a small door in the house and followed Elizabeth to her parents' room to listen to their conversation about their new neighbor, Mr. Bingley.

The story revolves around the feelings, love and marriage of Mr. Bennet's daughters. Elizabeth, the second daughter, is cheerful and intelligent, and has her own opinions and opinions on the people and things around her, which makes her meet Mr. Darcy for the first time at the dance and has a deep prejudice against his arrogance and unsmiling.

Mr Darcy is the son of the owner of Pemberley manor. He is rich and powerful, and his annual property income is several times that of Mr. Bingley. He is rich in material wealth and pays attention to etiquette, but he is too proud and interested in class threshold.

When Bentley praised the fun of the ball and Elizabeth as a lovely girl, Darcy just replied coldly, "She is not bad-looking, but not beautiful enough to seduce me."

Elizabeth, who was sitting on the side, just heard this sentence. She was a little depressed at first, and then joked with her friend, "Even if he owns the whole Derbyshire, I don't want to dance with him, besides, he only owns half the county."

The film uses the wonderful dialogue in Austin's novels to promote the story, and it is also interesting to just appreciate the dialogue of the actors without other parts of the film.

There is also a wonderful dialogue in the story. At the first dance, Mrs. Bennet praised Jane's beauty in front of Darcy and Bingley, saying that Jane had a gentleman suitor at the age of fifteen and wrote many love poems to her.

Elizabeth quickly interrupted her mother's inappropriate conversation and said, "but that's all." I am really surprised who discovered the power of poetry to extinguish love. "

Darcy replied, "I thought poetry could nourish love?"

Elizabeth went on to say, "this is true for a firm love, but if it is only an ambiguous preference, then a poor sonnet can easily destroy him."

Darcy asked, "So, what do you recommend to stimulate love?"

Elizabeth replied, "Dance, even if the partner is good-looking."

Then she turned and left. This was the first time Elizabeth was prejudiced against Darcy. She skillfully and forcefully responded to his indifferent evaluation of her "good-looking" with words, and she had quite a winning gesture of fighting for self-esteem.

After the dance, Bentley invited Jane to his house and fell ill in the heavy rain. Elizabeth was eager to visit her sick sister, and walked to Bentley's house in the morning, so she had a long time with Darcy for the second time.

Darcy, after in-depth contact with Elizabeth, was attracted by her independent, confident and interesting personality and gradually fell in love with her.

When Elizabeth visits her friend Charlotte's house, Darcy visits his menstruating lady Catherine (Charlotte's parish is adjacent to Lady Catherine's estate). When they met again, Darcy could not help expressing his love to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth has just learned from Darcy's friends that the love between her sister Jane and Bentley was broken up by Darcy, and her misunderstanding of him deepened, and she refused Darcy's confession without hesitation.

In this scene, the two men had a fierce verbal dialogue. On rainy days, the background of the picture is dark green, all wet, which sets off their mood at the moment. One is arrogant and the other is more prejudiced, so this kind of quarrel is inevitable.

When Darcy said that Elizabeth's parents and sisters had insulted her dignity, she concluded that her sister Jane and Bentley were married for the benefit, accompanied by a thunder, which was not only a natural thunder, but also the voice of Elizabeth's inner shock and indignation.

Later, Darcy explained to Elizabeth her misunderstanding of him and her sisters Jane and Mr. Wickham in the form of letters.

While reading the letter, Elizabeth remembered that she had never seen anything evil or dissolute in Darcy since she met him (especially recently, they often met and got a deeper understanding of his various behaviors), although his manners and remarks seemed arrogant and boring.

The more she thinks like this, the more ashamed she is of herself-whether she thinks of Darcy or Wickham, she can't help feeling blind, absurd, biased and unfair.

In the few minutes after Elizabeth refused Darcy's confession, the director mostly used low-key lights and only used a few high-profile lights to outline Elizabeth's face. At this time, she was ambivalent, suspicious and painful, and began to change her view of Darcy and her frustration buried by prejudice.

Finally, from Elizabeth's unfortunate visit to Darcy manor, I heard the housekeeper's indescribable admiration for Darcy, and went to the west to help her and her family solve the elopement of her sister Lydia and Wickham.

Elizabeth realized Darcy's sincerity and integrity and clearly saw her love for him. They broke through the prejudice in their hearts and the inherent arrogance of class and walked happily together.

The scene where the two decided to be together was beautiful. Darcy walked up to Elizabeth from the morning mist, and they made a brief confession. The whole picture presents a dazzling and warm light, which spreads to their faces.

The camera zoomed in slowly, giving a close-up of two people's faces, which was quiet and beautiful. The lights at this time are very romantic and happy.

Keira knightley, the actress who plays Elizabeth, was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar in one fell swoop for this role. If Elizabeth is described as a flower, she is like a "red rose", independent, blooming, passionate and prickly, which coincides with keira knightley's "Diana Francis".

Keira said in an interview that the director thought she was beautiful, but when she met her, she said "Oh, not bad", meaning that she was not very beautiful and could play the role of Elizabeth. Of course, it may be a joke.

Weakening Elizabeth's beauty, whether in movies or novels, is an attempt to show the personality quality and wise thinking ability that women in her time could not reach. She is not beautiful enough to touch Darcy's heart at once, but she can slowly occupy his body and soul with her unique temperament.

As for Elizabeth's good friend Miss Charlotte, in order to live a stable life, she chose to marry Mr. Collins, who is narrow-minded and absurd and obedient.

This kind of decision seems a little helpless. It was undoubtedly correct at that time and can be respected.

Helpless, she can't demand love if she chooses stability, because at that time, women in society had almost no other way out except marriage;

What is correct is that Charlotte can see reality clearly. As she said, "Not everyone is born romantic. She is 27 years old. She has no money and no future. This became a burden to her family. She is satisfied that Collins can give her a stable home. "

This is the situation of most women's marriage at that time, with money as the primary condition. Elizabeth's personality and love concept are a negative ideal image put forward by Austin according to his own heart.

She is clever and can see Darcy's arrogance and arrogance in class at a glance;

She has her own views on marriage, hoping that marriage is based on love, not money;

She concluded Mr. Bingley's love for her sister and encouraged Jane to pursue her love bravely.

She is humble and courteous in the face of Lady Catherine's difficulties, with self-respect and self-love;

When she eliminated her prejudice against Darcy, she realized her shortcomings in time and worked hard for happiness.

These sparkling personality charms are the most important thing to attract Darcy, who also has good qualities. Marriage should consider money, but it must not be completely dependent on money. Even if a marriage without love can last for a long time, it will inevitably play a lonely role in the relationship between the two sexes.

In the process of getting along with each other, Elizabeth, from the initial blind prejudice to the final abandonment of prejudice, embraced her happiness and love, and gained further growth in addition to some good qualities of herself;

Darcy is also from the initial arrogance to the final willingness to love himself, change his arrogant behavior, help his family who once thought his behavior was very inappropriate to tide over the difficulties, and promote the marriage between Jane and Bentley. Although their classes are different, their love is not for taking, but for achieving each other better.

There is a saying: "Good-looking skins are the same, and interesting souls are one in a million", so a marriage occupied by souls is far happier than a marriage completely dependent on money.
