影片主人公珍妮是个品学兼优的学生。珍妮在遇到老男人戴维之后,单纯的少女变成了世故的少妇,就连上牛津的理想也被抛在脑后。这部获得3项奥斯卡提名的英国影片画面唯美浪漫,风格清新瑰丽,镜头语言生动传神,是一部不容错过的佳片。
With three Oscar nominations under its belt, the British drama "An Education" is the film I'm looking at this week.

Set in 1961, 16-year-old schoolgirl Jenny Mellor (Carey Mulligan) lives in the London suburb of Twickenham with her parents. Talented and beautiful, her life ambition is to enter Oxford University - that is until David Goldman (Peter Sarsgaard), a man twice her age, comes into her tranquil life.

Wealthy David introduces Jenny to a larger world, and very enticing one, especially for an impressionable young girl who is more familiar with mundane school life. As wine, Jazz and Paris takes a hold of Jenny, she makes the bold decision to quit her studies and marry David.

But the decision soon backfires when Jenny discovers David is already a married father.

Based on the autobiographical memoir of British journalist Lynn Barber, An Education convincingly portrays an innocent teen's coming of age - but little more than that.

For movie goers that have already left their teens the film fails to "educate" one bit. The story attempts to explore the question of where a woman can find ultimate happiness, but comes to an end far too abruptly for anyone with an adult mind to grasp anything more than the hackneyed old-guy-seduces-young-girl yarn.

24-year-old British actress Carey Mulligan plays the role of Jenny Mellor adeptly - at least from a technical standpoint. But the performance does come across as overly precocious for a 16 year old, and as a result tends to lose the illusion that she is meant to be so young.

An Education therefore loses even its educational significance for teenagers, and in my opinion, the Oscar attention paid to this movie seems dubious to say the least.

I give this film FIVE out of ten.
