真实的简·奥斯汀 (2002)

Jane Austen remains one of the greatest writers of all time. Almost two hundred years after her death, her novels such as “Pride and Prejudice” and “Mansfield Park” continue to entrance generations of readers the world over. This film shatters any assumption that Austen herself lived the elegant Regency life of her financially comfortable heroines who ultimately find their true love.Instead it reveals the real Jane Austen as part of strata of Regency society much crueller in its treatment of women and harsher in its economic realities than her novels and their current television adaptations convey. And it discovers a woman more tragic in her own personal love life who does not enjoy the “happy ending” that she bestows upon her own female characters.Through readings and dramatic reconstructions, The Real Jane Austen pieces together the reality of Austen’s existence her modest upbringing in Hampshire as one of seven children of a clergyman; her disappointment in love; and the family’s poverty following the death of her father.Through her writing Jane found financial independence without having to marry. Tragically only four years later in July 1817 while writing “Persuasion” Jane Austen died.Filmed in locations associated with Austen including Jane’s birth place of Steventon and her later home in Chawton, and illustrated with extracts from film and television adaptations of Austen’s work, The Real Austen paints a vivid portrait of one of the greatest talents in English literature. 很细腻，温和，平淡的纪录片，质朴而真实。简奥斯汀生于一个普通的牧师家庭，因为家中多子而贫困，她早年的生活虽拮据但也有着自己的小幸福：阅读。因为失败的恋爱而投入写作，从此一发不可收拾。她一生贫困但她安于此，她聪敏而感情丰富，内心细腻，她厌恶灯红酒绿的社交生活。她是一位优雅的女隐士。比电影真实好看的多，奥斯汀绝对是“玛丽苏文学”的鼻祖，很多文青都能在她身上找到自己的影子，话说即使是两百多年前所处的婚姻环境跟现在的强国也没什么不同。不为了钱结婚，靠笔杆养活自己，这样的姑娘已经很值得尊敬了最近一直在看简.奥斯丁，从看作品到作者本人的传记。 比起《成为简.奥斯丁》，这部《真实的简.奥斯丁》和《简.奥斯丁的遗憾》更让人伤感，好像从理想坠入了现实。 原来演95版《傲慢与偏见》的宾利小姐是简.奥斯丁的后人，而且居然在这部剧里发现了《唐顿庄园》里的休斯夫人，难怪都是似曾相识！简·奥斯汀除了6部作品，关于她生平的文字并不多，这部片子在有限资料的基础上，对简·奥斯汀的人生进行了最大程度的还原，没有褒贬，只是呈现。英国田园风的启蒙，读的第一本外国小说就是《青少版傲慢与偏见》，在看了《成为简奥斯汀》和《
