简爱英文影评
A
thoroughly
engaging
adaption
of
the
brooding
classic,
this
film
rises
above
the
turgid
tone often imposed on other classics brought to
the screen. Joan Fontaine turns
in a
brilliantly deceptively understated performance,
and Orson Welles restrains from
the
scenery
chewing
that
marred
some
of
his
own
projects;
there
is
surprising
chemistry
between them. At
times, Welles is
a
downright
leading man! The
script (credited to
John
Houseman and Aldous
Huxley) captures
the right
Victorian cruelty
and repression.
Under
Robert Stevenson's direction Fontaine/Welles seem
to
capture the essence of
two
abused
outsiders
resisting
their
attraction
for
one
another,
trying
to
adhere
to
convention. A strong
supporting cast. There are brief though memorable
appearances
by Agnes Moorehead,
Elizabeth Taylor and Peggy Ann Garner as
George
Barnes'
camera
captures
appropriately
stark
images
of
Ross
Dowd
and
Thomas
Little's sets. Charlotte Bronte's grim novel is
well suited to the excellent B/W,
cinematography: a memorable scene early
in the film has young Jane being punished
by being forced to stand on a stool
that is nearly in the center of a fan of shadows
cast
by
the
stair
railing,
It
is
almost
reminiscent
of
expressionist
German
films
of
the
Weimar years.
The film manages to
entertain as well as inform. Purists may object to
the last 3 lines
of the film which hint
at a slightly happier denouement than the book
offered. In spite
of that, Jane Eyre is
still a nearly flawless film.
英文读后感
Jane
Eyre,
is
a
poor
but
aspiring,
small
in
body
but
huge
in
soul,
obscure
but
self-
respecting girl. After we close the covers of the
book, after having a long journey
of
the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has
left us so much to recall and to think:
We
remember
her
goodness:
for
someone
who
lost
arms
and
blinded
in
eyes,
for
someone who despised her for her
ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt
her deeply in the past.
We remember her pursuit of
justice. It’s like a companion with the
good
ness. But still,
a
virtuous
person
should
promote
the
goodness
on
one
side
and
must
check
the
badness on the other side.
We
remember
her
self-respect
and
the
clear
situation
on
equality.
In
her
opinion,
everyone
is
the
same
at
the
God’s
feet.
Though
ther
e
are
differences
in
status
、
in
property and also in appearance, but
all the human being are equal in personality.
