Plot from Rotten Tomatoes

A suburban London teen finds her traditional education replaced by something slightly more sinister when an older, more worldly (sophisticated) suitor sweeps her off of her feet while placing her future in jeopardy. London, 1961: 16-year-old Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is smart, attractive, and eager to start her adult life. She's grown tired of the familiar adolescent routine, so when urbane newcomer David (Peter Sarsgaard) appears in town, Jenny senses a rare opportunity to shake things up a bit. Quickly falling under David's spell, the impressionable Jenny begins accompanying her newfound beau to classical concerts,

art auctions, crowded pubs, and dinners that stretch into the small hours of the night. But Jenny is brighter than most kids her age, and her parents always dreamt of getting their exceptional daughter into Oxford. These days it seems like she's headed in a different direction -- will David ultimately be her undoing, or the person who helps her finally realize her true potential?

Sample Review 1

Jenny is smart, determined, and aware enough of the ways of the world to make her occasional naiveté an endearing characteristic rather than a detriment. Mulligan embodies these traits to perfection and deserves to be placed on a short list of actors deserving a Best Actress nomination.

An Education opens in the early 1960s

in London, where 16-year old Jenny's entire life focus is on getting into Oxford. Her father, Jack (Alfred Molina), reminds her constantly to avoid distractions and work on doing better in Latin, although he is concerned about how he's going to pay for her education if she is accepted. Jenny's mum, Majorie (Cara Seymour), is a little more solicitous of her daughter's feelings. For her part, Jenny is content to study and play the cello until the afternoon when a stranger in a flashy car offers her (and her cello) a ride home in the pouring rain. He's 30-something year-old David (Peter Sarsgaard), and he's as taken by his precocious teenage passenger as she is by her Sir Galahad. Seductive and charismatic, David finds subtle ways to insinuate himself into Jenny's life and Jack and Majorie are as impressed by

him as their daughter is. But David is obviously too good to be true and, as Jenny spends more time with him, she begins to learn some of his less savory secrets.

The title refers to the life lessons that Jenny learns as a result of her romance with David, her interaction with his friends, Danny (Dominic Cooper) and Helen (Rosamund Pike), and her recognition of how limited an educated woman's choices are during this pre-liberation era. with David believing she's worldly and self-assured, but she soon learns that a sheltered upbringing such as hers can never fully prepare someone for aspects of the "real world."

On the surface, it might look as if this

is a cautionary tale about the dangers of a teenage girl entering into a relationship with a man twice her age, but Jenny embarks upon her romantic adventure with a clear head. She is ultimately a casualty not of her own innocence but of something that could victimize someone of any age. In the end, this is more a character study of Jenny than a tale of tortured love, and a reminder that any education worth having comes with its share of trauma. Sample Review 2

Nick Hornby has adroitly adapted and given a dramatic shape to the telling the true story of how, in the early 1960s, she was seduced as a 16-year-old schoolgirl by an older man. This sociopathic charmer's seduction crucially extended to her poor old mum and dad, dazzling them into being

complicit in the arrangement; along with their daughter, they went into a clenched denial about what was happening.

…his script gives the audience a clear view of the painful delusions of all concerned, and there is a wonderful performance from 24-year-old newcomer Carey Mulligan as Jenny – the heartbreakingly vulnerable pseudo-sophisticate earnestly cramming for her Oxbridge exams, and longing for real experience.

Cara Seymour and Alfred Molina play Jenny's parents, the mother a kindly soul, sensitive to her daughter's unformed yearnings, the dad a grumpy martinet: a great insister on homework and obsesser on the subject of all the money he's forking out on school fees, uniform, etc.

One rainy day, when Jenny is

carrying her cello home from an orchestra rehearsal, super-smooth David pulls up in his flashy car and coolly offers her a lift. He is played by American actor Peter Sarsgaard with a slowish, carefully enunciated English voice that by accident or design really does sound very creepy. David captivates her with his casual directness, his exotic Jewishness, his worldly manner. David has a compulsive liar's sixth sense for other people's weaknesses. He picks up on Jenny's need to be taken seriously – and to escape.

On being invited back to meet her parents, David walks into their modest living room to catch Jenny's father Jack making an apparently ant …… 此处隐藏：8064字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
