影片简介
The Jane Austen Book Club 奥斯汀书会
一群奥斯汀小说迷，聚在一起，在六个月里，讨论奥斯汀的六本小说。复杂的社会，复杂的人际。奥斯汀的书真能帮我们治疗心灵吗？
The Jane Austen Book Club is 2007 romantic drama film directed Robin Swicord, who also adapted the screenplay from the 2004 novel of the same name which was written by Karen Joy Fowler. The film stars Maria Bello, Emily Blunt, Kathy Baker, Amy Brenneman, Maggie Grace, and Jimmy Smits. The film is about six people from California who form a book club to discuss Jane Austen novels.
The novel takes place over the course of several months in a contemporary university town in California's Central Valley near Sacramento. Each of the six chapters is dedicated to one of the six book club members as well as one of Austen's six works. In turn, each of Austen's novels parallels the individual characters' experiences with relationships and love.
Characters and their corresponding novel:
Jocelyn (Emma): an independent, 50-something dog breeder and matchmaker who organized the Jane Austen Book Club. Jocelyn has been best friends with Sylvia since they were eleven and introduced her to her husband, Daniel, when they were in high school. She has never married and has no children. She originally invites Grigg to the book club for Sylvia's sake, but ends up attracted to him herself.
Allegra (Sense and Sensibility): the 30-year-old lesbian daughter of Sylvia and her husband Daniel. Separated from her partner of several years, Corrine, Allegra is an artist and a thrill seeker, having been known to sky dive and rock climb, amongst other things.
Prudie (Mansfield Park): a 28-year-old French teacher at a local high school. She is married to Dean, who she loves, but she becomes confused when witnessing every-day infatuations between her students, especially when one student in particular flirts with her.
Grigg (Northanger Abbey): an offbeat 40-something, and the only male member of the book club. Grigg grew up the only boy amongst his three older sisters. He is also addicted to science fiction and coincidentally met Jocelyn at a hotel in which they were attending two separate conventions: Jocelyn, a dog breeding convention, and Grigg, a science fiction convention.
Bernadette (Pride and Prejudice): a 67-years-young yoga enthusiast and the most talkative of the members. Bernadette has been married multiple times and is determined to "let herself go" with style. Although she is the oldest of the members, she is the most satisfied with her lifestyle.
Sylvia (Persuasion): Jocelyn's best friend, Sylvia is also 50-something years old and is going through a troubling separation with her husband Daniel, who has left her after thirty years of marriage for another woman. Their daughter, Allegra, has come to live with her for the time being. (wikipedia)
