Emma p3

[MySweetCaroline15]

Don't hate the skinny girls okay... There's nothing wrong with a girl for being thin and a guy for liking her that way. And we can't help the small boob thing

[a21runningback]

harriet is so fat...

[princessivoryrose]

@a21runningback

Are you serious? She's not even fat. She's a decent sized realistic woman. Fat would be someone like Rosie O'Donnell. Women in the Regency era were around Harriet's size and men back then preferred women that way. Real men these days also prefer women of that size. Only boys and guys who want to impress the Facebook generation like skinny girls with no figure and small chests.

[SmileBeautyDebz]

is mr knightley 2.45

[jahAbsoloodle]

"emma, you didn't ask me to contribute a riddle"

"your entire personality is a riddle, mr knightley, i thought you over-qualified"

[Supablonde1]

I so think Mr Knightly looks like Richard Gere!!!!!

[elibethmanley]

I love how every comment that talks about Mr. Knightly has at least 5 likes

[countrygirl0028]

Jeremy Northam is so awesome! That smirk when he says "Try not to kill my dogs" he knows hes right!

[freakishhigh]

i love love love how Mr. Knightley says "emmaa..."

[1089aef]

Your entire personality is a riddle! (;

[NteTaiNeme]

I love the way he says her name before he accuses her of meddling.

[ealaara]

So I guess marrying a woman for her 20 thousand pounds is rational. Men of sense in that time wanted money, silly wife or not. Love rarely came into the equation.

[MsBeautifulgirl99]

haha mr knightley sulking is so funny!! hes like a cute little child!

[lizclegg]

The actor who plays Mr Knightley isn't tough enough

[TheRussianalien]

I love the music that starts with Emma's offer of having tea! It makes me smile in anticipation of some more high words. And when Mr. Knightley walks away the music just hits the point.

Awesome movie. Though not entirely accurate.

[jame1881]

Just love in the archery scene how Emma shoots more and more off target as her arguement gets more and more off target.

And the dogs comment is just so awesome...makes me smile every time :)

[Singsonggirl]

Men of sense do not want a silly wife... Guess I have to keep looking for a man of sense.

[mo95261]

"try not to kill my dogs." Hahahaha! Loved that part!

[bengusandlex]

Naturally Mr Knightly is in the right when he proves beyond any argument that men are substantially more prudent in their reasoning, more better sense in matters of the heart, more comprehensible in love than the women are in these matters.

I'm so glad Miss Austin understood that.

No love in this world, than a mans love for a woman.

[Tharuds]

@bengusandlex i BEG to differ!!

[bengusandlex]

@Tharuds ...Really? How extraordinary...But surely you must allow that men show more ratiocination, benevolence and adoration for you women than you do for us, you must allow that at least. It's always been that way, i thought.

[Heavensburden]

@bengusandlex As a woman who's been married for almost 9 years. I agree. My husband loves me a million times better than I could love him. A man's love, once he's TRULY in love... is an amazing unstoppable thing.

[19852943]

@bengusandlex

i differ from u on this point.....men might feel more love ( though i doubt that too!) but they are seldom expressive....

[bengusandlex]

@19852943 I'm sick to the back teeth of women acting like you're the only sex capable of knowing more about affairs of the heart than men, you dont. And a lot of men are more generous to their women than they are with themselves. And i dont know what kind of men you've ever met, but i know and have heard of many who are not afraid of showing their love and devotion to their women, such a shame we get such a bad press because of the bad ones that are out there, well that go's for both sexes.

[19852943]

@bengusandlex

woah! hey don't be so angry!I had just given my opinion...never tried to assert it as the right one!and i never claim to have more knowledge about such affairs, no one can, because every single individual has his or her own experience.....it may be good for one, bad for other

[dinkytadoodle]

mmmmmmmmmr. knightley

[YummyManiac]

I love this Mr Knightley. He looks so amused all the time, and I love the way he talks.

[Chrysopale]

I love his way of saying "Emma" at 2:43 !

[1972jewish]

Emma is really odious, directing the soul & wishes of poor Harriet, but lovely at the same time

[junebug2334]

"try not to kill my dogs" hahaha

[06parkcu]

Hahaha "Your entire personality is a riddle, Mr. Knightley..." hahha

[Dazzlemefine]

"vanity working on a weak mind produces every kind of mischief!" what an awesome quote.

[TheGlassbooks]

I love the little village Emma is driving through. I'd love to live in a nice place like that with thatched roof houses.

[ohmyclumsyheart]

my god, emma's voice is soo annoying

[2SIXimixedBABIES]

@ohmyclumsyheart

the pitch is higher on youtube then on tv.I dont know why maybe the girl who put it on here changed it.

[QuantumProphet]

"Vanity working on a weak mind produces epic kind of mischief". LOL I had a GF like that :)

[rbain007]

the fights between Emma and Knightley are better in the 2009 version. Romola is better as Emma, but Jeremy Northam is pretty good as Knightley. I still like the 2009 version so much better! it is funnier!

[TheGlassbooks]

@rbain007 I liked the BBC version too and Romola Gari and Johnny Lee Miller were really good, but for me Gwneth Paltrow and Jermey Northam are the ultimate Emma and Knightley.

[rhapsodyswept]

I hate the affected, high-pitched quality that Ms. Paltrow seems to adopt for this role...still, it's one of my favorite books of all time.

[centralperk89]

I love the way he says "Emma" at 2:45

[bubblesarecool97]

Hahaha 7:15. I LOVE Harriet.

[Upideerayray]

I love the line where she says: "I'm sorry I was not of more help I'm always afraid I'm going to make a sick person worse"

"Not at all"

[EverlastingxHope]

I prefer Romola's and Johhny Lee Miller's bickering :P In here Emma and Knightley fight boring.

[wenglishsal]

@EverlastingxHope ... Oh I agree with you so much... Romola and Johnny are wonderful as Emma and Knightley... Their battles are fantastic to watch and they enjoy the sparing... Definitely my favourite version , but I still enjoy watching all the versions, just to see what different actors bring out in the charactures they play... Well written Miss Austen and well acted Gwyneth and Mark... :0)x

[nenaviju2]

Ha ha! They remind me Tony Stark and Pepper Potts ;)))

[maham21jan]

@nenaviju2

lol!

[IlovestheWorld]

aw, emma, dont be such a bitch! and lol she and mr knightly are funny together! he knows her so well lol

[chipmunkkk3]

okay, this might sound weird but i couldn't help but be reminded by the movie clueless and it's similarities.

like cher is emma and she plays matchmaker to her not so classy friend tai who is sort of like Harriet

She tries getting her friend together with a wealthy guy named (weirdly) Elton just like this movie but it turns out he likes her instead.

Tai eventually starts liking her ex-stepbrother, Josh, and that makes cher realize her feelings for Josh who is like knightly. See similarities?

[domig112233]

@chipmunkkk3 clueless is based on emma

[BrokenDarkFire]

"your entire personality is a riddle, Mr. Knightley. I thought you overqualified."

[stoneoffarel]

try not to kill my dogs

[CristinaBellex]

omg! its absolutely astonishing how much i am like emma.

[666psychoneurosis666]

@CristinaBellex Emma isn't very nice o.o

[hank5168]

Die hard austen fan, but I dislike the casting, excepting Emma. Knightly wrong, Elton wrong, his wife wrong (I love her still, tho!), Harriest allll wrong (even tho Toni is an exceptional actress). But, regardless, I own and pour over all the movies continually. :)

[wenglishsal]

@hank5168 ... Have you seen the 2009 version with Romola Garia and Johnny Lee Miller... Oh my gosh it is truly fantastic... I like all the versions of Emma, but now I must say that the 2009 is top of my particular list.. :0)x

[hank5168]

@wenglishsal Oooo, no. I will check it out promptly. Thanks for the recommendation! :)

[bleek2g4]

Emma pisses me off here...i love harriet smith and mr knightley

[littlesttierney106]

just like clueless

[annewithe79]

anyone have the version of emma with kate beckinsale to compare with this one and the 2009 version?

[angusyoung4ever]

they're both here on youtube. if you search for "emma kate beckinsale", the second playlist result has both versions

[emflei]

@annewithe79 They're all on here, but I personally hated the Kate Beckinsale version (1996 BBC)...they left out so many of my favorite parts and I never warmed to Beckinsale as Emma. Some people hated the 2009 BBC version, but I liked it quite a bit and Jonny Lee Miller is now tied with Jeremy Northam for my favorite Knightley. :) If you have 3 hours to spare, watch the 2009 BBC one and don't bother with the 1996 BBC one.

[Tygrfawn78]

@annewithe79 I have, I haven't watched it yet though as it was a birthday present from three days ago. I can try to post it eventually though. If I can get my ripper to work.

[hpfan884]

i love how he says her name at 2:43 its like what have you been up to? XD

[polandseed]

I totally like this version of emma than any other!!

[transnet87]

I preferred this Emma over the PBS MP version, I found their Emma to be silly and not elegant as GP is, plus I prefer Knightly in this one and wait until the proposal scene in this one, it blows the BBC version out of the water IMHO

[primaprimotv]

This WAs a favorite of mine but...just recently i watched the new BBC mini series...which will be airing on our PBs very soon. The new Emma blows this one away. It has a new spirit to it...and much more light hearted.

[90lysander]

Whichever one you prefer, I think the Paltrow version is easily the most light-hearted "Emma." Just take this scene with Emma and "Knightley" (to use a vulgarism worthy of Mrs. Elton) arguing over Harriet as an example. In this one there's not much emotional wattage, and much humor: "Don't kill my dogs," etc. Both the Beckinsale and Garai versions treat it considerably more dramatically - the new mini ends it with Emma in tears!

So I can't agree that the new one is more light-hearted.

[lonesomelittlegirl]

Mr knightley and Emma bickering is so funny. " try not to kill my dogs. " and then he goes and sulks

[ADsabrie]

@lonesomelittlegirl i agree their  bickering is so cute

[phantomphiddler5]

haha her neck is very long

[vvdancergirl]

i love Gwyneth Paltrow. shes one of my favorite actresses.

[ApollyonCruiser]

I do not comprehend it because it is madness. I hope you're wrong.

Knightly is the best.

[livchristinemusic]

Emma's so evil at times!! XD

[sarathomas208]

"try not to kill my dogs"..lol

[RivaJane]

Mr. Knightley is HOT

[nichyyisfreknawesumm]

emma is a matchmaker clearly she wants all around her to be happy but little does she realize her own affection...i wish ppl would not compare clueless to JA her theme of emma is one of the most sought out themes in the world!

[Hattaru]

I 100% agree, first off, J.A is more on love and marriage than hooking up, and Teenage love crap!!! and lust, J.A is a wonderful woman, and her work is amazing and with so much heart, and I am pretty sure, the books that she writes is in fact on her experance in life as well.

[nichyyisfreknawesumm]

beautiful thanks so much what a lovely responce i just get aggervated when people take a heroine like jane austen and compare her to a 90's film...

[Hattaru]

No promblem girl I am happy to agree with you!!!.

[KittiePirate]

maybe on life experience but not hers, all her books were made up i think because it is fact that she never married

[Hattaru]

Mybe not, but I am pretty sure that her books were more on what she saw in sicoety!! yes she never married but that does not mean that she did not have friends that prob influiced her in her books.

[KittiePirate]

well that is a very good point, that seems very true

[Hattaru]

LOL indeed! -_~

[73Lotje]

What says Emma and Mr. Knitley to each when Emma is talking to Mr. Elton?

I'm sorry i'm not very good at English.

So can anyone tell me what they say from 6:00 to 6:05?

[Lunawhynot]

73Lotje this is what is said from 6:00 to 6:05

Knightly: "Emma? You didn't ask me to contribute a riddle."

Emma: "Your entire personality is a riddle Mr. Knightly. I thought you over qualified."

[waterlily423]

love this scene..emma is so ridiculous, but thank God its righted in the end

[MrsWitwer]

Hmmm, I just can't picture Mr. Knightley slouching on his chair.

[xOcrowdedroomOx]

i pictured the scene between emma and mr knightly as being more... dramatic.

he seemed to calm

[Superchicknr1]

hehe

my name is emma,

and the person that uploaded it, has the same name as my best friend : sara !!

what a coïncidence x)

[luvnote4u]

emma is so coniving

[movi3srock]

lol its more like clurless than the book

[bonnyweething]

And since when did women shoot with bow and arrow? Whatever the simplistic symbolism in it (it is a shame that we don't see the arrow when he shoots it at the end, because he also ends up wrong), it was not appropriate. And Knightley is still too talkative. He only works with one-liners. It is a shame they did noy get that. And since when does a gentleman silence a lady with 'no more'? Impropriety rules...

[BFFerret]

ach emma is so ..........poor harriet! so naive and can't make up her mind!

[liliom232]

i've imagined mr knightley completely differently after reading the book-as a more solid, more strict man.

[kathykisslight]

Yes, they did the same with Pride & Prejudice too.I didn`t know if I was supposed to cry or laugh at the juvenile, shy boy Mr Darcy in the Kiera Knightley version. Plus the actor struggled with the upper-class accent-so did Kiera..Haha!Tortured my ears.Same here, you should watch the best version of Emma with Kate Beckinsale in it. She is perfect,utterly adorable with the impeccable accent of a lady from that era.

[esham22]

i think Gwenyth Paltrow is a perfect Emma Woodhouse.

[aamphys]

because theres no continuity ! it looks like theres no story line

[spongiebungie]

such wonderful locations for all this...'sigh'

[aamphys]

i believe anyone who hasnt read the book wouldnt be able to watch the whole thing

[jerona]

why?

[silverbud]

1:42

Horrid horrid american english mixture

Those American filmmakers don't care about anything but money.

[Mamimimicita]

Emma from the beginning of the book and movie slightly annoys me with her controlling manner of miss. smith but when she sees her wrong i like her so much more!!

[acivilcampaign]

I know most Austen fans are die-hard Darcy-Elizabeth fangirls but give me Emma and Knightley's sparky, banter-filled relationship of equals any day.

[mistydreamz]

lol, i agree.

[lolo17337711]

I fully agree as well!

[MrsWitwer]

me 2

[poobidoobidoo]

@acivilcampaign What, and Darcy and Elizabeth are not portrayed as equals???

[acivilcampaign]

I still prefer Kate Beckinsale but G.Pal was lol-tastic in this movie. Great accent, too!

[pinkneonglowstick]

xD I love the way he says, "Emma..."

[sophie2308]

his "Emma" is perfect.....

[BelovedCaptain]

haha you tell her Knightley! <3

[hpmaniac]

I actually think that Emma is sort of a satire upon how society was run at that time. I have yet to finish the book, but from what i can gather, Emma is a complete snob and Jane Austen made her so to sort of communicate that she is the sort of woman in that day that WOULD succeed in life and make a happy marriage.

[fruitsy99]

I dont think she was a complete snob, otherwise she wouldn't claim an acquaintance with harriet in the first place.

I think Jane Austen was showing the restictions imposed on women at the time. Emma's main employment is matchmaking, and the fact that harriet is the only friend she has who is her own age implies she does this because she is bored, and before meeting harriet, quite lonely.

[acivilcampaign]

We can't just call Emma a snob and leave it at that. Yes, she's snobbish and self-absorbed, but she's also intelligent and witty and caring, and she has a great independent spirit. Most importantly, she learns from her mistakes. She's complex.

[fruitsy99]

agreed, but youtube is hardly the right place to give an in depth analysis on her charachter.

[lilysama]

I love this book and this movie. Gwyneth Paltrow isn't my favorite actress but she does an awesome job as Emma.

And I totally loved the line starting at 6:00 "Your entire personality is a riddle, Mr. Knightley. I thought you overqualified." So cute.

[pinkneonglowstick]

I know XD I cracked up laughing. Like with the line, " Try not to kill my dogs."

I'm glad they put some wit into the movie =D

[badabo0um]

I totally agree.

I did not like Gwyneth Paltrow at first, but I think I was prejudiced and now I can see that se makes a great Emma...

[lilysama]

Thank you! :D

Yeah, I watched this right after finishing the book and I couldn't see what everyone was complaining about. I think she is spot on. But eh, you can't please everyone I suppose. :D

[Ezu8T]

i dont like emma

[bellefemme10]

the character or the actress?

[gglennwill]

The character

[gglennwill]

At this paint I hate Emma

[FreakyRebby]

she was ment to be like that by jane austen

[gglennwill]

Yes I know, she still annoyes the heck out of me.

[liziz4Him4ever]

lol..i love how harriet is sooo extremely clueless and emma's kinda like...duh!!

[FreakyRebby]

at 0:50 it's emma who's clueless and harriet who acutally 'knows' what's going on ^^^if she wouldn't let herseld be influenced so much by emma...

[Lookather]

Others may think that Emma is awful but I love her character to bits because she is the most flawed but she learns in the end.

[lilysama]

I'm so glad you said that! I was afraid I was the only one who loved Emma from the start. Yes, she does some things that aren't so smart, but she was acting on good intentions for a friend.

[Lookather]

So true, she did what she thought was best for all parties involved... even though it might not have been the best in reality. What matters is that she had the heart to follow what she believed in was right for her friend and to hell with all the rest who thought differently.

[aussiegirlkate]

"Try not to kill my dogs"

LOL!

[crazything90]

I find Emma quiet interesting I dont know why!

[spoonas]

I think we all have a little bit of emma in us. I act spoilt, selfish and naive at times. Jane Austen is a genius!

[LittleWinnet]

Mr Knightley mmm xD

[KatiB88]

the exchange between mr. knightley & emma while they're doing archery is one of my favorite scenes of all time, in any movie.

[tabaothanh]

Gwyneth Paltrow has lovely voice ^^

[xChloejm]

Apparently Jane Austen said that no one would ever like Emma except her.

which is quite true XD

and i dont usually like Gwyneth Paltrow, but from what I've seen of this so far, she plays emma very well.

[festeringpeace]

*I* like Emma; she's less vapid in the book, necessarily.

[Dark8Empress]

yes there are tons of similarities, like Cher taking care of her dad and how she ends up dating her stepbrother who is basically Mr. Knightley.

[superliz27]

The girl from clueless annoyed me a LOT more than emma

[raleboni]

In the movie, they make Emma much more charitable than she is in the book, as she is so VAIN and full of herself!

[blackbird12790]

I dislike Emma the character with a passion. It is the only Austen heroine I am not a fan of. Yeck. She is just ridiculous.

[nae2cute]

I like the book, but I don't like Emma either. It seems that if she doesn't get her way she gets upset. And everyone else besides her is always wrong in her mind. She's spoil,stuck-up, and noisy.

[nae2cute]

I meant nosy.

[Dark8Empress]

I just realized that Cher from Clueless is the modern day version of Emma. It is exactly the same how Cher tries to set Ty up witih a guy she has no interest in, when really she belongs with the guy she actually likes.

[natilyboo]

Your entirely personality is a Riddle Mrs. Knightley, i thouhgt you will be overquialified xD

OMG Emma and her tohoughts...great book, love jane austen AND Gwyneth do it great ;)

[se4biscuit]

a single woman of good fortune is always respectable??

yea at that time...will someone marry you when you're like 70 and wealthy??hmm...more likely...no one.

[beautifulbutdeadly56]

Lmao at the extra clapping from Mr. Elton AHA!

[iamtheorchidthief]

conversation, then, was such an art...the English language has been murdered by the current generation!!

[TurquoiseDragon27]

Emma is so pretty! Ewan McGregor is in the movie!! =D!! one of my favorite actors! this is a good movie, I've just started reading the book!

[vickskedoedoe]

The weather in Emma is far too sunny and bright for England! :p

[54spiritedwill54]

She never stops meddling.

[cindyaniston]

Was it very common to rich people visit the poors back then?

[kikimorka16]

vanity working on a weak mind produces every kind of mischief...

[kwexy]

Do you mean that in the novel it was a surprise to us as readers or a surprise to Emma? Because in this she is surprised.

[toffycaramel35]

The problem with this adaptation is that we clearly see that Mr Elton is in love with Emma, whereas in the book it was a surprise when Emma learned that mr Elton didn't love Harriet.

[DarkHeart167]

There is also more scenes between Mr. Knightly and Emma alone.

[magdoos]

"try not to kill my dogs" XD

[ElentariRanger]

I love the archery scene!

[dragonlyra]

I love the way she pronounces the word 'answer'

[cmcwoodard]

i love it when knightly is like "No more..please..no more" its SOO FUNNY

[msinvincible2000]

I love this Mr Knightley... Jeremy Northam is so damn handsome and sexy, and such a good actor

[angelheartie123]

I like it when he said Emma lol

[northandsouth89]

mr knightley is ace, but to be honest i think emma is an interfering cow

[hellopoppet06]

Hahahah try not to kill my dogs.

[tathya7]

'vanity working on a weak mind produces evry kinds of mischief.'

haha true! mr.knightleyyyy!

[Aaylie]

"Ah, I see the tea is ready. Let's stop and have some."

That makes me smile every time.

[Ingretlam]

"Oh...didn't ask me to contribute a riddle."

"that's because your whole personality is a riddle, i thought you over qualified."

haha yes i had to post two comments T_T'

[Ingretlam]

Mr.knightly has such a straight stance while he was shooting the arrows

"she's a greater simpleton than i believed"

"i hope you're wrong.."

lol

[mywittyusernamehere]

I love that line "Emma... you WROTE her answer, didn't you?", haha, it makes me laugh every time. Also when he says "try not to kill my dogs". It's funny how he scolds her for practically everything she does but he still loves her for who she is. I don't think Emma is as bad as she is made out to be, for she is just trying to make others happy through good matches. She has good intentions at least, and a good heart, she just comes off as a bit tricksy and conniving.

Lol I love the way he says "...Emma" at 2:45. Mr. Knightley is good for Emma. He's not patronizing--just tries to talk sense into her.

Lol: "Oh...didn't ask me to contribute a riddle." I LOVE this Mr. Knightley. His lines are...embellished compared to those of Mark Strong's in the other "Emma" but he's so endearing anyway.

And Emma is meant to be controversial. Jane Austen wrote something along the lines of she herself being the only person who would like Emma's character.
