To walk Invisible: The Bronte Sisters

The movie “To Walk Invisible: The Bronte Sisters” is a story about the Bronte sisters insist on writing novels and poets even the women would be judged when women wrote novels or poets, then they decided to use another name for their poets and novels to submit for publication. I admire the Bronte sisters. In this movie, Charlotte Bronte said, “Why is it that a woman’s lot is so very different to a man’s? I’ve never felt inferior. Have you? Intellectually. Why is it that we have so very few opportunities?” Charlotte pursues the equality between men and women. She persuaded Emily and Anne to publish their own work. She is very ambitious with publication. I think Emily Bronte is very talented. The work that Emily wrote (Emily also recited in this movie) make me feel that this is a very magnificent work! The word that Emily used in her works make a very wide world. For example, “High waving heather neath stormy blasts bending, midnight and moonlight and bright shining stars; darkness and glory rejoicingly blending, Earth rising to heaven and heaven descending, man’s spirit away from its drear dungeon sending, bursting the fetters and breaking the bars”. In my view, Emily’s writing style is bold and unconstrained. For Anne Bronte, I think she is good at listening to others and communication. She is gentle and soft. In my view, The Bronte sisters were very brave to challenge the views to women’s writing at that time. They are great writers.
