  • Y'know, considering the way they portrayed Henry in this version, they should have just ended the movie right after that kiss.........

  • Even in the book I always had this die hard hope that her and Mr. Crawford would end up together. Ugh, I just ship them so hard that when I saw the scene of her calling off the engagement she probably shattered my heart more than his. ;___;

  • I dont know why....but I prefer Mr Crawford to Edmund...I'm weird, i know.

  • Ok, imho I like to believe that Fanny and Henry's relationship would've worked out (in THIS adaption). Henry seems to be accepting of everything in Fanny, and you can see that they share an intimate acquaintance in Portsmouth scenes. Fanny definitely brings out the good in Henry, and I can't imagine Henry kissing Maria the way he does with Fanny. He definitely seems to be devoted to Fanny here. I like to believe things would've worked, but I'm being really optimistic about it.

  • I so wish the movie would end here. :(

  • @kennyg9898 and where is William?!...

  • @kennyg9898 Fanny never did this on the book, although the book is quite boring too...

  • Reminds me of Barney and Nora from How I met your Mother. Choose Henry for goodness sake!

  • this would be such a cute part if he wasn't so horrible.

  • I've always disliked this adaptation since i've always liked the scene at the end of this clip better than the one with edmund, although i don;t like henry, which is why i don't want to like it. but that line, "Is that THE yes, that I've heard a thousand times in my heart but not from you" is absolutely adorable.

  • "Sorry, I do not know to what you're referring"smile, turn head to right, and look down. Cute.

  • i love the ships. unlike the ones of today.

  • THIS IS THE ONLY PART WHEREIN I "KINDA" LIKE HENRY... ESPECIALLY THAT BOYISH-SHY-TYPE-THING WHEN FANNY SAID YES.

  • ew i don't like henry at all. :P don't trust him. The way he's all "charming" and so on. blah

  • ok i like henry now..awww this is soo sad!!!!

  • wow ok maybe henry truly does love fanny

  • Ohhhh! He was just soooo cute here!

  • Henry is CUTE in 4:20

  • I don't trust Henry...something about him just throws me off

  • maybe cus hes a creep whos a total kiss up... i cant put my finger on it but he rubs me the wrong way

  • I cosign with u all. I heart Henry, hes pursuing Fanny. Edmund is kickin back with tea and crackers.

  • I wish they'd ended up together.

  • i wnat to stop watching just now, i like henry better in this version!

    where is my henry?

  • @SweetRagnarok lol i cant wait to meet my "Henry" as well! :0)

  • this Henry may actually deserve Fanny more than that galavanting Edmund enjoying London...

    OMG did Fanny just kiss Henry?

    isn' t that illegal?

  • @bresiesoftroy the only thing i dont like is that the director didn't look up customs and manners of this time. They didn't kiss b4 marriage and rarely wore their hair down.

  • anyone else wish henry was saying all that to you!!??

  • Listen to your heart, Fanny!!!!!

  • I like Henry...What's so bad about him?

  • swoon! <3

  • mmm that food looks yummy....

  • Fanny accepts Mr. Crawford 0_o

    um....no

  • I must admit it. I would have caved.

  • oooh, henry's too sweet!!! i initially thought he was just a flirt. but goodness, he redeemed himself!!!<3

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • They made Henry to good in this version!!! He is way to kind and loving to be bad :(

  • @GegoStuff I think this is very true to the book, the line where Fanny says "the very changefulness is what frightens me." captures it well. He is a chameleon. He is truly wanting to be good when it profits him. So he succeeds for awhile.

  • This Fanny is based on Austen herself, who accepted a proposal, but broke it off the next day.

  • i actually like henry

  • I must say though, this movie makes me want to pick Henry over Edmund. It just seems that Henry is much more genuine in this movie and much more willing to change because he has found someone who he's willing to change for. Because later on *spoiler alert* when he ends up getting it on with Maria, it just seems like he did it to spite Fanny, because he was angry with her.... or maybe he's just really good at pretending to love Fanny in this movie. The 2007 version shows my vision of Henry.

  • @marinita333 I think that he wasn't necessarily in love with Fanny. He was more infatuated with her. She is probably one of the few beautiful women who have denied him and, like any player, he is intrigued by that. It seems as if he's in love with her but he more just wants to conquer a challenge. Anyway, that's my take on it. I've dated LOTS of Henry's. But I married an Edmund... :) Well...I like to think of him more as a Mr. Knightly. Which is better anyway :)

  • My reaction to the final scene where she said yes was beyond shocked. I was thinking, "WHEN THE FUCK DID THAT HAPPEN IN THE BOOK?!" But all is good. It was only a dream.

  • I love snobs.....

  • Fanny in the original did not said yes. On the contrary, she stuck to her principles and Henry want to marry her when he went to london and seduced Mariah in game.

    In this movie, Fanny was like a weak-willed girl! Henry seduced Mariah because Fanny dropped him! These are very important defferent points.

  • Oh thank god! Finally! I was losing my mind thinking she would be such a fool as to say no and to go on with her romantic high-minded notions. She's a worse snob than the landed gentry she grew up among.

  • Oh how could she ever kiss that Henry fella.

  • You know what? Even Jane Austen said it herself in the book: Fanny would've changed Henry so much if they would've married :/ She should've added that twist in the book.

  • I feel bad for Fanny, everyone is telling her to marry Henry! And the worse part is that it makes sense for her to marry him.

  • oh, a dream... calmed me down

  • wait a sec... did she said YES? THAT was... unexpected by the least

  • And he is brave enough to eat that dish whatever it is XD

  • Henry is following her everywhere and playing a silent truthfull friend's part. On one hand, it is lovely, on the other - both funny and irritating ;)

  • I'll never know if Henry really loved Fanny or if he just loved the idea of Fanny. He seems to light up when he's around her but then again, i just don't know. Does he love her or is he in love with her? Ergh! I hate not knowing. Unsolved mystery.

  • Aww yay. Exactly what I wanted to happen.

  • I like this Fanny more than the original one, from the novel. Henry is a dish! But not to be trusted, anyway *sigh*

  • oh Fanny, sometimes women do make a man want to be better, if Henry saw your worth and Edmund didn't,,,,, oh Fanny

  • edmund is her cousin... i understand that it was accepted then, but, for me, that's just plain wrong... ruins the romance ><

  • Honestly, the charm and wanting eyes and sweetness of Henry aside, I can't seem to feel 100% sorry for the man. He knows she's in love with someone else, he confronted her about being in love with someone else, she downright SAID she was in love with someone else. It shouldn't surprise him so terribly that Fanny wouldn't want to go through with a marriage she agreed to after finding out the man that she's been in love with since 11 is marrying someone else...

  • What all yuh saying bout Henry in that he is "so charming" please as Fanny stated earlier he is more interested in being loved than loving. Fanny was just a challenge that he had to take up but it ended up back firing on him.

  • Agreed henry is too charming lol hard to hate the charming but still edmond loves fanny he is just blind or something cant wait to see whats next!

  • but it was a cute moment

  • you see...he gets a yes and he goes straight for the lips....

  • Henry, have you ever heard of a little something called "rebound"? Now, maybe that's something that comes a bit after your time, but, let's just say, Fanny had heard from Edmund and was feeling rather down....let's leave it that. Sound good? Yeah..

  • oh henry, if only you waited a little longer. fanny was almost yours. even jane austin admitted that in one of her letters. i really like henry, i wish he was the one.

  • Why does Henry have to be so damn charming...it makes it so much harder to hate him...

  • awwwh it was a dream~ >.< that was mean XP I don't think Henry deserves her :^ any person who lets something stand in the way of being with the person you know is TRULY beautiful because of something so superficial, victorian family obligation or no, and was blind to that which was before their eyes a jewel, only to have eyes opened by folly and other evils does not DESERVE the gem any longer.

  • @demicassyas those who noticed it and moved to it from the first, inflictions be damned is the one who should win away the prize.

  • OMG I love this part from here to infinity <3333 I'm sorry too, give me Henry forget 'Edmund' <3 . <3 lol And yes, I know he's no good technically, but doesn't he just SEEM so right ? *siiigh*

  • "Is that THE yes I have heard a thousand times in my heart but not from you?"<333

  • okay, i prefer henry more~ edmund is too bland :\

  • the movie version of Henry is so agreeable!!! first time want Fanny to end up with him, they will make a lovely couple.....

  • I love 3:46! So sweet!

  • I hate that they put this in the movie, it makes fanny seem evil for jilting him. Now I understand if he goes off to Mariah, why shouldn't he after what she did? Sheesh this is so different from the book.

  • Shouldn't trust a men's good character so easily...

  • 7:00 THE END

  • 7:00 THE END

  • If time lasts only a few more weeks maybe...

  • no offence Edmund, but i think that the movie could've ended perfectly right here...

  • After watching this movie countless times, I still get butterflies when Henry says, "Is that a yes? Is that the yes that I have heard a thousand times in my heart but not from you?" I AM IN LOVE WITH HENRY CRAWFORD! Why does he have to be such a douche bag in the end?!

  • ♥ Oh, Henry. If she won't love you, I will.

    You're just too sweet :)

  • If only he had continued to wait!

  • Comment removed

  • I would have picked Mr Crawford if I were Fanny :)

  • I'm sorry Edmund, your going to have to do a lot to win my heart back, Henry has stolen it!

  • WHAT?! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?? It's certainly not Mansfield Park!

  • I really don't like how this is going on.

  • when I first watched this, I actually thought this was the ending. I hadn't read the book (which is so unlike this version) but I thought she was supposed to end up w/ crawford. Edmund seems too...lame (as in disabled) in spirit. He lacks a certain internal fortitude that I think a "hero" should possess.

  • @waterlily423 I feel as if we don't see enough of him to be able to compare with Mr. Crawford. At least not in my opinion.

  • lol the ending was sweet, henry looks like a hopeless romantic lol

  • lol, the mom " just remember fanny, i married for love", i dont know if it was like a warning or not, but if it was then maybe she should have kept her legs close more during her married life and maybe they wouldn't live so bad. xD

  • @ClaiomSolis It could be that the husband forced it onto her since women dont seem to have a say back in those days. So its not really her fault.Just my opinion here.

  • @angela94 I don't doubt that in those days women's opinions were leached/deemed irrelevant but if u listen to Fanny's mom's tone when she exchanged words with Henry, u could hear that she's a well spoken person, also look at her other 2 sisters, both married into well to do families which meant they came from a pretty 'decent' family (having opportunities 4 education) themselves.

    plus peeps have this silly ideology that luv will take care of the ones in luv...can luv pay rent/buy food?

  • @ClaiomSolis lmao-i was thinking that exact thing, lol, that and how many children does she have?

  • In the book, Austen makes it clear that Mr. Crawford had a chance. She goes so far as to say that Henry and Mary could have livened up the lives of Edmund and Fanny. The book was better by showing that Fanny was beginning to think favorably about Henry after this visit (the reference to Jane Austen's own acceptance, then refusal, of one man marred the story) - had Henry been faithful without a guarantee, he might have won her.

  • I feel as if Edmund was too weak in character and I don't understand why Fanny still loved him despite his inability to profess his love for her or even realize it. At least Henry went out of his way to propose to her despite knowing her background and continued to pursue for her love. As for the flaws, who doesn't have flaws. I fail to understand Fanny. I don't know. Edmund is too weak of a man.

  • This last bit makes me angry; in the book she never toyed with him. It was one of her great merits, her constancy.

  • To be honest, I would've actually been pretty happy if the movie just ended there and then after she 'accepted' his proposal. I know she's supposed to end up with Edmund in the real story, but that could've been an okay alternative ending :) It's just that he seems so nice right now...

  • i shall wait for you about 20 min more of movie, then a shall move on....

  • i have to say that in the book i could not see why fanny would say no to mr. crawford. after all he would provide her with comfort in life, however, after seeing the movie it made me really go against her ever marrying him partially because of the evil way in which he responds to her rejection in the movie and also because you can see so much more of what fanny is feeling in the movie. austen writes her as such an introverted character that it is hard to see inside her thoughts in the book

  • NONE OF THIS EVER HAPPENED... aside from the fact that Henry came to Portsmouth.

  • i know we're supposed to be rooting for edmund, but 3:30 just melts my heart :)

  • Mrs. Price/Lady Bertram is my favorite portrayal in this movie.

    ~lAUra

  • That's silly, how can Henry so readily accept her when he knows her heart is full of someone else?!

  • this movie makes you want fanny to marry mr. crowford whereas in the book you can't do anything but dispise him and want her to end up with edmund -.-

  • I don't really like how Fanny cries all the time, in other Austen novels the female characters are stronger, they experience a loss or heartache but they don't sit around and sob.

  • @bpatable It is sort of off putting. But if you think about it, no other Jane Austen heroine was quite so mistreated or neglected as Fanny Price.

  • Aw Henry's so sweet. Why is she so mean to him?

  • Why does Edmund 'like' that bitch of a Crawford...

  • Here's a clue for the girls - when a man says "I have changed", that is a Red Flag.

  • @policemanaaron you are funny :-))) and right to..

  • @policemanaaron exactly, if he was any good in the first place he would'nt need to change.

  • what a flatterer this mr crawford.

  • whats with henry crawford... does he truely like/love fanny in the only way he knows how, or is he just fascinated by her cos she's not falling so easily for him as all the other ladies in his life have?

  • I wish the film ended here

    

  • I love how the sister and little brother follow along behind!!

  • Oof, the mother.. "I married for love"... stupid, headstrong girl. When times were like that she should have accepted. A handsome rich man with bad nature is better than having to think what to eat...

  • awww; even though i know i shouldnt like henry; i have to admit the scene between him and fanny where she accepts his proposal is so cute; hes so happy..! i almost forget he's mr.evil!!!

  • Wasnt William one of her brothers to whom she used to write?

    Why such a change with the sister?

  • why the heck does henry crawford who is a self promoting sort of person go after fanny who has not background or fortune worth pursuing...did i miss something?

  • @absolute52347 Because she's beautiful and she refused him?

  • No one realizes Fanny's feelings for Edmund! She succeeded in keeping them hidden from everyone, even Edmund himself. Henry is not the sort of person to admit or notice a rival. Geez. >:(

  • No one realizes Fanny's feelings for Edmund! She succeeded in keeping them hidden from everyone, even Edmund himself. Henry is not the sort of person to admit or notice a rival. Geez. >:(

  • oh my... what woman could resist crawford. sigh

  • "oh, fanny price! You learned to love me!" WANT <3

  • And this is where I like to stop watching this movie. Edward and Mary get married and live out a shallow marriage; Fanny and Henry get married; and Henry never has the affair with Maria. Happy ending! This movie's characters are very different from the book's though. For one, I would have never visioned Henry to be as good-looking and well-meaning as Alessandro Nivola made him. In this movie, they should definitely get married.

  • @SgtPlmFry You mean EDMUND not EDWARD, right? Edward is character in "Sense and Sensibility" not "Mansfield Park".

  • I prefer this version in all ways except Fanny's acceptance of Henry and then change of heart. It gives him reason to behave badly, whereas if she had begun to consider him, as she did in the book, his failing her reveals his unworthiness. Had he been able to wait for her, it might have been the first step toward a much happier life.

  • No way, I like Henry! I don't like Edmund anymore. He is engaged. He careless for Fanny.

  • "toy with me"!!

  • I have to keep reminding myself that Henry is like a Wickham or a Willoughby but it is so hard with how well he's playing the good guy atm.

  • If Henry is passionate and controlled by emotions, Edmund is poised and controlled by his deepest feelings. No wonder, a girl so constant, plain(not pejoratively though) and so untouched by the world's revels, like Fanny would suit only perfectly an Edmund. I am of course speaking in the context of the book because the movie's Fanny might just as well suit a Henry, to a small extent, at the very least.

  • WHAT?! the moment @ 7:01 made me drop my jaw in complete amazement

  • Oh...I stand corrected, if it was only, well, you know what.

  • wtf???he doesn't know she loves edmund!!!

  • Do you think Crawford really and truly loved fanny, even if only at one point?

  • @welcomeback444 oh absolutely and maybe Henry loved her even more passionately than Edmund would ever do all his life but here lies the fault. He's a Don Juan, able to love promptly and wholeheartedly, whose love brights so fiercely but which vanishes as quickly as it was lit. He might have been deeply in love of fanny for a year or two of marriage but would be bored by a too constant life because he is by nature unstable.

  • Comment removed

  • "And I will wait for til the end of time..."

    Oh yeah surrrrre Bub.......That didn't exactly stop him from doing what happens next right? (I'm trying not to  spoil anything so I apologize if I seem completely obtuse)

  • This movie never fails to speak to me no matter how many times I see it. Fanny sees him so clearly and I love it so. I second that telling line by Mrs. Price "I married for love..." When I first heard that line I felt it in my chest too, goodness! So well made!

  • Mr. Crawford is very adorable.... i would of fallen in love with him !!!!

    Is Fannie's sister ,Susan, the girl from the movie "The Abduction Club " ?? Those eyes gave it away.

  • she was on the vampire series last year Moonlight

  • @missy12341000 Thanks for the info.

  • @ysomar The actor is Sophia Myles.

  • @KarensHalifax Thanks you !

  • "Just remember Fanny... I married for love."

    SUCH a poignant moment, I felt my chest lurch.

    And oh yes, I think Crawford must be very in love with Fanny, but he is supremely flawed and just not good enough for Miss Price.

  • i love this story... i love Mr. Crawford!

  • hes so cute, his looks are distracting, almost masks his true character.

  • This scene it is sooooo romantic It makes me like Crawford!!!!!!

  • Noooooo! Why is edmund marrying her?!

  • oh i feel so sorry for her when she finds out edmund is going to get married to that...thing!

  • oh man ...i really think he loves her ...i could never eat in such dirty house like he did ...only for love..maybe...

  • so henry really does love her?

    I was never really sure in the book. . .

  • Well let me tell you that I start seeing that version and it was kind of lame, really bad actually, this version is much better than the 2007.
