英國安妮、夏洛特和艾米麗三姐妹和他們年邁的老父親一起過著相依為命的生活。弟弟布蘭威爾的屢屢騷擾讓這家人本就貧困的生活雪上加霜。 三姐妹都知道，如果父親死了，她們或許就要失去賴以生存的房子，流落街頭，為了避免這一事態(tài)的發(fā)生，她們用各自的方法努力著。三姐妹天生善于幻想，熱愛寫作，可是當時的文壇是不可能發(fā)表女性作家所寫的作品的。于是，她們使用了男性的筆名寫作投稿，并且最終獲得了成功。

童年的四個孩子，每個孩子捏住一個小人，如果孩提時代就能夠掌握創(chuàng)造人物的力量，那么他和神有什么區(qū)別。

他們在神父自己的家長大，神父就是他們的父親，就好像是在伊甸園長大一樣，自由自在的嬉戲打鬧，常常運用的就是文學(xué)與戲劇的工具，四個神長大了，就算生活如此艱難，母親和兩個姐姐都去世了，離家接受教育，出去做家庭教師為生，也只有唯一的男神頹廢了，剩下的三位女神都在她們短暫的在人間的光陰中，用巧妙的方法避開了當時的偏見，盡力施展出了自己的神性，有一種開啟鴻蒙的氣勢，所有經(jīng)歷的痛苦都給了她們力量，類似于古希臘神話里的三女神。

電影經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的荒原景象，簡直是在暗示，這就是一個奇跡，一個神跡。在大自然的景象如此荒涼的地方，生長出如此強健充滿豐富想象力和細膩感情的文學(xué)。電影面出現(xiàn)了艾米莉的詩，太震撼了。每次情景合一的詩歌閱讀，都是這部電影的精華，值得反復(fù)欣賞。

艾米莉是激情澎湃的詩人，夏洛蒂是有實干精神的小說家，而安妮是散文家。她的文弱氣質(zhì)讓我最愛她。

At the beginning of movie, the young Bronte sisters and their brother Branwell were playing game in an empty palace with bright flames jumping on their heads. They caught dolls in hand, named them with joyful face. Branwell promised his sisters and those dolls that he would take care of them all his life, saying that one day they would all become kings. the Brontes hold up dolls overhead and flames on their heads rose upper.

In my opinion, the first 80 seconds are the seeds of whole movie’s clue, it put Branwell in an important place. Although the movie is about Bronte sisters, the director focused on the last three years of Branwell’s life. The clue of the whole movie is the comparison between Branwell and his three sisters in how to tap their writing talents. To most people, Branwell is only a vague shadow behind his sisters, or even doesn’t know there is such a person. However, it was Branwell who pushed the Bronte sisters to write. The flames above their heads are their inspiration in the field of literature, and the dolls in their hands are the symbols of their stories. They started out with the same talent, but ended up with very different results. The narrator of this segment is Charlotte’s poem We wove a web.

We wove a web in childhood

A web of sunny air

We dug a spring in infancy

Of water pure and fair

We sowed in youth a mustard seed

We cut an almond rod

We are now grown up to riper age

Are they withered in the sod

Are they blighted failed and faded

Are they mouldered back to clay

For life is darkly shaded

And Its joys fleet fast away

This poem implies that literary talent of them in their childhood will grow up or blight in the future. Branwell had better writing conditions than her sisters, failed to make good use of her writing ability and indulged in alcohol, thus losing the flame of literature. Unable to count on their elderly father and alcoholic brother, the Bronte sisters had to shoulder the responsibilities of the family by themselves. Inspired by Branwell’s words, Charlotte worked out a plan: to publish a collection of poems written by the three sisters and then publish novels. They succeeded and made a lot of money.

The end of the film echoes the beginning. The palace where they played together appeared again. The Bronte sisters were sitting at the table, Branwell hold a doll in his hand, but only the fire on his head had gone out. Then camera montage shows Branwell dying of illness. In the wilderness, the Bronte sisters walked together, and the dazzling rainbow rose, symbolizing the light of their efforts. Three suns hanging in the sky symbolize that the Bronte sisters are the three suns in the history of English literature, their literary will keep burning and guide future generations on the sky.

這部電影里有個場景是夏洛蒂未經(jīng)艾米莉允許翻看了她的詩歌，引起了艾米莉激烈的反抗，艾米莉說出“You disgusted me.”之后摔門而去，于是你看到了她毫無顧忌的、自衛(wèi)式的憤怒。勃朗特三姐妹中我最喜歡的就是艾米莉，不僅因為她的《呼嘯山莊》有如割裂荒原的一聲空曠嚎鳴，天才式的文學(xué)造詣遠遠不是《簡愛》可以比擬(《簡愛》的成就大多數(shù)在文化領(lǐng)地，尤其伴著吉爾伯特的《閣樓上的瘋女人》和蘭瑟的《虛構(gòu)的權(quán)威》等書，在女性主義文學(xué)批評上具有開山的作用，當然借助了女性主義的大潮的勢，實際上不論是故事還是敘述方式，這本書都要被劃歸“喜聞樂見”的那一類)，更是因為她的人格也如同她的書一樣，具有激烈的先驅(qū)式的“反傳統(tǒng)”的叛逆意識，于文于人都避免規(guī)訓(xùn)。她有明確的個人領(lǐng)地，拒絕一切人自以為是的進入與指點。如果你采用傳統(tǒng)的理念與價值判斷、大眾的審美與意識偏見只能徒增冒犯。
