Last night, I eventually ended my wish since the test week, that is watching "Becoming Jane", in Olympic City with Viann. The storyline of the story is pretty good, as well as the make-up and costumes. But for the actors, especially for the main characters, I don't think they had done well. Besides, perhaps as I have watched the "Pride and Prejudice", which background and content is a bit similar to Becoming Jane (of course! Pride and Prejudice is written by Jane!), I think that "Pride and Prejudice" is much much much better than "Becoming Jane"!!! Let's say the party-scene as an example, the filming skill in Pride and Prejudice is a lot better than that of Becoming Jane. Also, Keira Knightley is obviously doing better than Anne Hathaway when comparing these two films. Both films want to show the eloquence and somehow the inner feeling of "being more superior to others"of the heroines, Elizabeth and Jane, and Keira can completely achieve this goal. But as a whole, I still like "Becoming Jane", though it doesn't have a happy ending, it reflects the truth that Jane didn't get married in her entire life. Novels have to reflect reality. Just as what Jane had said to Tom in the movie.

小朋友,這篇film review如果是ceng功課,妳肯定re-do,哈哈。妳覺得Anne Hathaway做得不好,那哪裡不好啊?"Keira Knightley is obviously doing better",in what ways??!!! 而且" Keira can completely achieve this goal",「completely」這個字語氣太重了,哈哈。不過反正是日記,亂寫也可以啦。
一直都很喜歡Keira Knightley做的Elizabeth。雖然有人或會覺得她太瘦,而Jane Austen時代的女性通常都是圓圓的。但Keira的確演出Elizabeth那種「硬頸」性格和牙尖嘴利的個人風格。那套戲或許不太呼應原著,但畫面和配樂都有我喜歡的淡淡清新感覺。以前溫書會邊聽聽溫呢!(聽到一半通常會變為看,哈哈,然後完全分心丟下書本。那套戲我應該看了超過廿次吧...)
Becoming Jane,一直都沒好感,所以沒翻看。印象中Anne Hathaway很不英式啊... 找天看看再說...
