  • OMG ! william price is klaus in the vampire diaries ! that's a surprise !

  • I knew a guy who looked just like Edmund in High school, and I was absolutely in love with him. He was quite the gentleman, but so awkward and quiet. He was wonderful. This movie makes me smile because of him

  • This version SUCKS.... the 1999 version seemed so much more realistic. All these people seem like they are models from modern time magazines.

  • why does she go forward with the marriage???? so silly. >.<

  • Its Klaus from TVD.....LOL

  • Maybe this is a prequel from vampire diariess...

  • Ahahahah the guy from vampire diaries! Claus hahaaa..

  • HOLY COW KLAUS

  • Does anyone else see the sexual tension between fanny and william and Edmund and Henry or is it just me?!

  • aaawww that was nice to see all the men automatically stand up as soon as Maria leaves the table :)

  • Anyone else waiting for the TARDIS to arrive?

  • What does Thomas say at 3:05 and what does he mean by it?

  • playing with the dishes and salt shaker at the table......gotta love William :)

  • For any one who watches Secret Diary Of A Call Girl, Tom Bertram is Duncan!

  • Mariah's choices were completely justified. What Jane Austen speaks of in her novels, which is constantly taken rather lightheartedly, is that women in her era had nothing to their entitlement. They were expected to raise themselves by marriage, which was a means for them to achieve status and security. Not every woman in Georgian-Regency England could afford to be romantic, take for instance Jane Austen herself.

  • @RushTheSilver on the contrary, Jane Austen was quite "romantic" in her life choices, calling of an engagement (albeit a very short one) because she felt she did not love the man enough to marry him, despite his wealth and establishment.

  • fanny's brother is Hot! :)

  • OH MY GAWD ITS KLAUS!

  • @Jeno404 ITS NOT KLAUS

  • @RushTheSilver Yeah. It is.

  • @Jeno404 Who exactly are you referring to as Klaus? The actor playing Tom Bertram is James D'Arcy. The actor playing Henry Crawford is Joseph Beattie. The actor who plays Klaus in TVD is Joseph Morgan.

  • @RushTheSilver and Joseph Morgan plays William Price :)

  • @Jeno404 Yeah, I just found out! Ignore my other comment. I was thinking of Henry or Tom Bertram!

  • this guy is stupid!! why push urself to her when u know that the only thing she wants is money money!!!! like seiously!!

  • "And I always get my way in the end."

    Ha, that's what you think. :)

  • I like everyone but Henry Crawford better in this version, which I think is good because I don't think I'm supposed to like him. He's a creep.

  • I read the books and really didn't like Edmund at all throughout it, I felt like Fanny deserved better. Even at the end he was so obsessed with himself. He constantly threw his relationship with Miss Crawford in Fanny's face and always talked about his own feelings.

  • Weird, Fanny has more chemistry with William (her brother) than she does with both Mr. Crawford and Edmund combined. That's a wee bit creepsome...

  • aah god i got scared William looks like my ex boyfriend to the tip of his finger i screamed, gosh i thought it was him...

  • The problem with Edmund, like most guys, is he's intrigued with the "new, unknown" girl, someone different from everyone he has known. The familiar, "good" girl holds no fascination for him until he later sees the contrast.

  • I wish William had spilled on Aunt Norris.

  • @tinkertoes1000 you mean Mrs.Crowford of course!

    But in the book, however, Edmund would prove himself a man of principle and that would make him distinguished in a way, that's how I saw it.

  • The Fanny from the 1997 version, in my opinion, was quiet more beautiful and accurate.

  • I haven't read the books, but I'm really not liking Edmund. Hopefully it'll be like Mr. Darcy and he'll redeem himself towards the end... but now he just seems so... influenced!

  • @nerdishh In way yes he was influenced.. but you might also call it that he was blinded by love. Mrs. Rushworth knew that he was interested in her, so she thinks that she can munipulate Edmund.

  • IIIII LOVE EDMOUNT <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

  • Fanny is too spirited and doesn't suit the Fanny in the book...........im really disappointed, because i expect more of any adaptations of Jane Austen's works. i've watched a little of the 1999 version of Mansfield Park and i was also a bit disappointed. in my opinion, they need a better adaptation. oh well, thank for posting this though. i still like it, but i'd much recommend the book than any of the movies, but i still need to see the tv series of MP, im sure it's a lot better.

  • @Ub3lBlatt While I agree that this nor the 1999 are very accurate, I think they did what was best considering. In the book Fanny was so understated and overlooked that she was hardly the main character in the way we think of today. So in order for it to translate it makes sense to make the character a bit stronger and bolder. Though it's far from perfect.

  • @Ub3lBlatt I hated the book because Fanny was such a boring character. The only reason I can sit through this film is because she's been given more personality.

  • Did anyone else notice how Mrs. Norris moved the salt shaker to the other side of her, kind of like, "Stop playing with that thing"? Lol, I was amused...

  • oh my gosh. I want to KIILL the Crawford girl

  • i wish that men would still stand up when a lady enters or leaves the table/room

  • 2:57 ROTFL

  • why does Fanny keep running!?! geez

  • This version is ridiculous. Fanny's hair is so anachronistic that it's like they thought we were just stupid and wouldn't notice something THAT out of place.

  • @urbanr0cker I think they believed that we would all realise that this is a modern movie. Whether her hair doesn't suit that time is irrelevant, because she isn't in that time.

  • Good lord are Maria's breasts on full display!

  • so cute how william uses the plate and food to illustrate the battle in the middle of their elegant meal! lol

  • Mariah is so pretty :/

  • i like the 1999 version soooo much better. this one is way too dramatic and over the top- i feel like im watching the soap opera version of mansfield park.

  • Malachi...mmm ^^

  • Comment removed

  • Maria is so beautiful - she should have said no I don't want to marry that fool.

  • lvinnguaq I also think that Fanny is not very pretty, shes not ugly but she isn't pretty either...

  • Is that girl ever going to wear a hat or a bonnet? Sorry, but her family would never have allowed her to disgrace them in such a manner.

  • @giliellthesecond  was this important once apon a time?

  • @anibanivani

    Yes, it really was, it showed that you were "virtous" and chaste. You can imagine it much like a muslim headscarf: a decent woman would never be seen out of house without something on her head. Ball were an exception, of course and you would take it off inside.

  • @giliellthesecond Wow, i didn't know this. Thank you.

  • why does the 1999 version missing PART 9?

  • sooooo i guess no one cared that fanny was supposed to tire easily in the book?? she's always running around..

  • here smile is only bad from an angle...lol other than that she is pretty

  • @gigglegiggle33 I am sorry but am I the only one who thinks that Fanny is well not ecatly pretty?

  • thanks alot babypogo24, after I read your post I can't look at fanny the same way again: I laugh

    This version is SOOOO boring, I MUCH prefer the 1999 version

  • thanks alot babypogo24, after I read your post I can't look at fanny the same way again: I laugh

    This version is SOOOO boring, I MUCH prefer the 1999 version

  • I wish fanny would stop smiling her smile is so ugly.

  • That's not true.

  • william looks a bit like chris martin :D

    very nice :)

  • I don't think so. Austen very seldom provides physical descriptions. She is interested only in character, and even character she rarely describes, leaving dialogue to do that work, and brilliantly.

  • I just noticed that in every book Jane Austen wrote, she leaves a main character unexplained.

    In this one it's Julia

  • @JoDeveau On the contrary I thought Julia was well explained. She feels slighted by Henry, which makes her angry with her sister Maria. She reconciles somewhat with Maria after they are both slighted, but never deeply loves her. They travel together, but when Maria gets too scandalous, Julia leaves to get away from her and ends up eloping. She's always petty and jealous, but has a decent soul in the end.

  • in pride & prejudice, kitty?

  • yup.

  • @love251290 Yeah but so does the one in the book.

  • is there a better version of this movie from a different year??

  • @schemerin1414

    Mansfield Park 1995 with Jonny Lee Miller and Frances O'conner.

  • not true. Fanny does ask her uncle about the slave trade in the book, but its only a passing reference.

  • They didn't mention slavery AT ALL in the novel...Austen only said he had "business in the West Indies" and that was that.

  • I always read Fanny as more of a solemn type person. She was the downer. She was the one to spoil the fun, never indulge, even with the children. Also, for such a long book as Mansfield Park is, this is going rather too quickly.

  • And I don't get these weird fusion dresses.

  • Fanny wears some older clothes because she has less status. Her aunt and uncle wouldn't want to pay for her to dress stylishly. For the old women, they were probably scandalized by the relatively free clothing of the Regency era so stuck to the old style.

  • I don't like the clothes in this one-- there are not enough regency dresses to suit my tastes.

  • i think Billie might have looked sweet with her hair in a proper style of the time, and it bugs me that it's not.. it's very distracting.. but i think they left it looser and wild to show how

    little they care for her as their charge.. she's just left to run wild and be childish instead of trying to make a proper young lady out of her. but it's still really annoying. she looks much too modern.

  • actually the 1999 version is closer to the book than this one, especially when she revisits portsmouth they completely left that bit out in here its all been rushed.

  • What I hate about Mariah is that her father gave her a chance for an out but she didn't take it bcuz of money.

  • @babytooty04 It wasn't just because of the money. She was upset because Henry left so abruptly and made no attempt to get in touch with her after his departure. Her attachment to Mr. Rushworth was mainly out of disappointment, pride to keep from showing her hurt feelings and contempt for her husband as well as greed for Rushworth's fortune.

  • @babytooty04 I guess money meant much more back then than anything else... sigh

  • @babytooty04 oh give Mr Rushworth a break. He is a foolish country idiot with a house in town. I will take a foolish rich guy any day. At least he is not Mr Collins. Lord forbid.

  • @Basra2020 amen

  • @Basra2020 Especially the Lost in Austin version of Mr. Collins. TALK ABOUT CREEPER!!!!

  • @babytooty04 But at the same time the other was a scoundrel, he may have had his way with her and left her a broken woman with nothing, and a bad reputation to top it off. She may fall in love over time with Mr. Rushford, he is a boastful man but that may change in time he was not all bad, but the oher was, remember he was after money as well.

  • @babytooty04 weel in the book she doesnt want out because she wants to one up crawford. its her way of trying to get over him. 

  • @babytooty04 I think money was a factor, but there was a great deal more to that. Mariah was mortified by Henry and wanted to show him that she didn't care. Also, she had been raised to think of marriage as an alliance and had never been 'open' with her father before.

  • there was so much more to fanny's character in the 1999 version, and i have trouble looking at this fanny price

  • I'm comparing the 1999 movie against this... this is more accurate, of course, but the other one had a handsomer main cast (Fanny, Edmund and Henry but I admit that the Mary Crawford here is better looking)

  • I completely agree. I like that this 2007 version follows the book closer than the 1999 one, but I liked the actors from the latter version better (with the exception of Mary Crawford.) I wasn't expecting Fanny to be a blond, although in the book it said she had light eyes. The Henry Crawford character here just looks awful.

  • rushworth looks worse. He was never fat! Just plain.

  • I must say that this film is much closer to the book than 1999! The moment with harp is beautiful, the quality of the folm is better. Everythins except Fanny's look! :( what a shame,

  • I agree - such a mistake to make Fanny blond .... her hair are too modern!!! It distracts a lot!

  • Absolutely true! You can also tell that she is not naturally blonde - her roots are showing. I'm sorry to say but they did not have blonde hair dye at that time. And Fanny might have been brought up carefree but she still had some sense of propriety, therefore she would mantain herself neatly too, especially because she needed to be "grateful". 1999 version is much better. Although Edmund is cute in this one :)

  • It annoys me that it wasn't pointed out that Fanny had always been against acting in the play. And, also that her hair is not at least put up into the style of the day.

  • the 1999 version is MUCH better

  • Maria is deathly pale.

  • I think she's gorgeous.

  • euughh

    mariah's teeth...

  • i agree with u

  • Why is Edmond Bertram so blinded? miss crawford is full of airs and manipulative

  • like so many men, he's too distracted by how pretty she is to notice that she's an awful person

  • sigh, I guess pretty women will have their way, as often is in life

  • @Elizacoco

    more like most people are too distracted by how pretty/handsome someone is to notice their true character. If they arent distracted by that they are by their size of their income.

  • She's not as much in the book. But also, he IS blinded by her beauty.
