Despite not directly addressing major political events, Bridget Jones 4 reflects the personal journey of its protagonist amid an era known as the Great Moderation. The film chronicles Bridget's misadventures and her relationship with Mark Darcy against a backdrop considered historically benign - a time when democracy flourished and peace processes emerged. Although the film lacks a conscious allegory, it can evoke a sentimental interpretation that resonates with contemporary audiences, mirroring shifts in societal norms and expectations.
"The first three volumes of the Jones diaries are picaresque chronicles of professional and sexual misadventure that resolve in the reassuring arms of Mark Darcy."
"Jones's relationship with Darcy unfolds against a backdrop that hindsight reveals to be exceptionally benign, a period sometimes called the Great Moderation."
