The film adaptation of Jane Austen's novel is here again!
Is there a new version of Pride and Prejudice with 10 versions?
Or are there 4 versions of Sense and Sensibility?
Neither! The new film is based on Austen's last novel to meet readers:
Emma
The Novel "Emma" by british female writer Jane Austen, although not as influential in China as the two works mentioned above, is considered by many critics to be Austen's most mature novel in terms of artistic technique.
For example, the British literary critic Dr. Keitel believes that:
Emma is "the greatest and most representative work" that Austen wrote about in his lifetime.
In fact, before that, the film and television adaptation of "Emma" already had 2 versions of the miniseries and 2 versions of the film.
From the 7.8 points of the 1972 miniseries, to the 7.5 and 7.7 points of the two versions of the film in 1996, to the 8.4 points of the most recent 2009 version, it can be seen that the scores of each version are very good, and the last version is the most popular.
The new version of the film, directed by mv director Autumn de Wilde and adapted by New Zealand writer Eleanor Caton, will be released in the UK on February 14, 2020 on Valentine's Day.
Adapted from Austin's romantic comedy "Emma", it tells the story of Emma, who is rich and well-educated, beautiful, intelligent and pretentious, and her favorite thing to do is to introduce objects to the people around her, and she also thinks that she is a wise red lady.
After a mess of mandarin ducks, Emma, who said that she would never marry for life, finally punched her face and found that true love was originally by her side.
The novel uses irony to show Emma's journey from childishness and ridiculousness to maturity and final happiness.
It can be said that Emma is not a heroine who has combined strengths from the beginning, she is a bit self-righteous and even pretentious.
In the case of being more familiar with the storyline, who will star in the film and who is more in line with the original image has always been a topic of discussion.
Leaving aside the earliest 1972 version, the other 3 versions of Emco are goddess-level figures.
"Little Pepper" Gwyneth Paltrow's version of Emma is smart and elegant, and her beauty is unhurried.
"Vampire Queen" Kate Beckinsale's Emma is smart and beautiful.
"English Rose" Romara Gary's Aima is lively and cute, and the beauty is unforgettable.
No wonder netizens can't help but sigh:
"How does emma look better than the other, this film really should be remade once a year!" It's so good-looking! ”
So, who will play Emma in the new version of the movie?
She is played by "horror movie darling" Anya Taylor-Joy.
This is a bit of a surprise, and those familiar with her know that she has starred in a series of thriller horror films such as "Split", "The Witch", "The Secret of The House of Marroben", and seems to be far from the classical British beauty Emma.
However, watching the trailer, Anya's classical dress is put on, and the retro curly hair is a little, which is quite a noble lady's style.
Squinting at people, smiling confidently, opening the window with his fingers, a towering Yazi, as if there was an inner taste.
Overall, beauty is still beautiful, but Anya's temperament looks more stubborn and arrogant, more modern.
From the gentle and elegant classical temperament to the more distinct and unique Emma, the history of the change of the heroine of "Emma" is also the history of the audience's aesthetic change.
In addition to Emma's actor, the scene in the film where Emma and the magistrate Mr. Knightley fall in love and kill each other is also worth looking forward to.
As an old friend who grew up watching Emma grow up, Knightley is mature and stable, wise and loving, and is one of the most diligent and socially responsible of Austin's male protagonists.
Knightley, who is 16 years old, sometimes points out some of Emma's self-righteous behavior, and the two people are indispensable to some quarrels and arguments.
One is Knightley, who thinks that Emma is the teacher of behavior, and the other is the self-righteous Red Lady, and the two people finally see their hearts after repeated yin and yang mistakes, and the lovers eventually become dependents.
In the new version of the movie, the male protagonist is played by Johnny Flynn, who starred in "Vanity Fair" and "Genius", born in 1983 and Anya born in 1996, the actual age difference is there, but the thin face still looks a little young.
Like the previous versions of the male protagonist, not the "British lover" Jeremy Northon, or the charming Johnny Lee Miller, this male protagonist seems to be less charming and handsome uncle temperament.
In addition, Emma's father is played by Bill Nye, an old drama bone who has participated in films such as "True Love Is Supreme", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Coffin of the Souls", and "Shaun the Zombie", and the comic attributes of the priest played by Josh O'Connor are also exposed.
Jane Austen's series, which has always attracted the beautiful natural scenery of The English manor, the classical and exquisite costumes of the middle class, and the rural aristocratic life with a tone, is no exception in the new version of the film "Emma".
You can see that the costumes in the movie are exquisite and luxurious, the interior of the building is meticulous and intricate, and the overall color is as bright as a gouache painting, less graceful and luxurious, and more fresh.
Jane Austen's works have always been witty and humorous, full of comedic conflicts, she records the social life with a slight ironic brushstroke, expresses the concept of equality and independence of love and marriage, which is very suitable for the big screen, which is also the mystery of her works that has endured for more than 200 years.
The imperfect Emma, but the most impressive Emma, with the release of the new version of the movie, will start a hot discussion of each version of the big pk.
Anya's version of Emma, do you think it's OKAY?
