KEY READING Dl
About the research ideal, which is something larger: the perfection and / or 'absolute, manages to dominate, albeit with many hardships and sorrows, all factors that seek to limit dl i1 completion of such research. In the film, the turning point is given by the splendor of art, that gives light to the soul and real feeling. Who let the search for the ideal life adapts to a flat and monotonous, without compromises, full of submissions, with the August spaces of freedom as the room of Charlotte Lucas.
Elizabeth Bennet is a victim of prejudice "son of abstraction", which spans the ideas in the air, without foundation in truth, that undermine the search for truth: i1 true feeling. The prejudice the blinds, the light is lost. The beauty of art, especially statues of the splendor of the palace of Darcy, makes them find the light to see clearly. Darcy is a victim of class pride, the heritage, its culture, but its sensitivity led him to seek something greater and authentic, which is in Elizabeth. In the film, perhaps by overriding a pride that masks his shyness than pride used as a shield to defend from the malice of others. The environment surrounding the two protagonists, with its rules and its characters try to influence the outcome.
The Bennet family is apparently happy, it seems that the joy inside domains. But the rules of the time (dl lack a male heir who could inherit the estate, the flight of Lydia), and the economic condlzioni try to undermine this harmony. I1 father, dominated by women seem aloof, let do, taking refuge in his room at the end you understand why i1: Elizabeth wants to find someone who is at least its value. I1 his estranged and take refuge in the room seems to indicate a lack of confidence in the rules of the time.
The characters in outline, all well understood, are functional to the story.
Mr. Bingley is the heady enthusiasm of love and / or vlsta infatuation at first, perhaps only based on aesthetics. Jane Bennet is i1 disenchantment of awareness of their beauty.
dl Elizabeth's friend, Charlotte Lucas, confidant, friend, who shared the search for the ideal, accepting the proposal of Mr. Colllns, adjusts to the reality of time and the role that was imposed on the woman, but wins only a small area of \u200b\u200bfreedom, a small room where he welcomes Elizabeth.
Among the people who work for i1 maintaining "status quo", which pose obstacles to attaining the ideal, there is Caroline Bingley, which is the envy towards the realization of the dream of Jane. Then there is Lady Catherine de Bourgh, which represents the arrogance of power, wealth and power previously established. Mr Colllns represents the enslavement and complete devotion to that power. Mr. Wickham is the cunning and the arrival, with all its ambiguities.
EXPLANATION "CANUDIANA Dl A cinematic masterpiece''
The film is an attempt failed to find a synthesis of all the arts in art cinema. The presence of art in the film as well as obvious and fundamental, and the fiction film expresses the synthesis.
The dance allows only a superficial knowledge, he can not dominate the prejudice and pride, however, the knowledge and the conflict allows the director of "abstract" the dance of Elizabeth and Darcy from the context of the room, isolating the two in their comparison.
The music draws the two protagonists, and it was the thin thread that holds the first still tied, Elizabeth relies on music to reconnect the broken threads of a dialogue (remember his playing a Rosing). The soundtrack dictates the rhythm of the passing of events. The music is enough in itself, but the song is silenced.
The poem seems to move away, the assessment of the sonnets dedicated to Jane Elizabeth is different from giving more importance to feeling, while Darcy first considers "food of love."
Painting, with the viewing of the frescoes of the palace dl Darcy, Elizabeth leads change of status of mind, seems to have wanted to break away from the ground to reach the beauty of the frescoes. There is a description of the dl will rise with the abandonment of the horizontal dimension with its liens to the vertical dimension. Even at Netherfield is continually framed a picture displayed in the living room.
The splendor of the sculpture, especially the statue of Darcy tells Elizabeth that he was seeking. Ecstatic in front of the statue of Darcy. In the study by Darcy is also a statue of Janus, a symbol of the two aspects of the personality of a proud and generous and loyal on the other side.
architecture serves to show wealth and power of men, as the castle of Lady Catherine de Bourgh. In addition, the architecture serves as the setting for the first statement of Darcy is happening under a colonnade of edlficio a circular dome, the Temple of Apollo Stourhead Garden, while it is raining. And it is here that Darcy gives up his pride. The architectural beauty of the building raises the ammirazlone Elizabeth Darcy.
The cinema is the seventh art, the synthesis of all the arts, gives us a masterpiece.
