Emma (ep. 2) (1/6)

[SelenaMulan]

Shes not ignorant; I've realized it as I've grown older; shes naive; yes shes spoiled but shes also naive. I mean look at what shes done; she persuaded Harriet to NOT marry the other guy; she wants her to marry Mr. Elton; shes wants her to go BEYOND her station; to have a better life; think about it. UNFORUNATLY; back then that wasn't possible it wasn't something that was done; in their way of life; their society.

[RaeRae914]

Lol i end up speaking like this for a bit after a few episodes :)

[DarkOrMisunderstood]

Shipcourt.

Word of the day.

I intend to use it in every phrase I speak.

[Kimchan1011]

THE POEM WAS FOR YOU EMMA :'(

[natiekat]

SHIPCOURT!!!



[bronteteri]

LOL Emma has got to be the more ignorant woman in this movie... what makes her think for one moment Elton likes ms.Smith? when has he ever asked about Ms Smiths wellfare or called upon her for anything? i think Emma is just daffy ..can't she see how Elton hangs on her every word..?

[wallpaperairplane]

@bronteteri she's too blinded by her own image of her being far superior to anyone else hahaha but i share your sentiments :)

[SuperSoulSeeker]

@bronteteri

She is daffy. But she thinks she's all that and a bag of chips. She just can't be wrong.

[simplyplaid]

Michael Gambon is an incredible actor!!!!

[kopec82]

IM SOO STUPID CLUELESS = EMMA

I THINK IS A INSULT TO JANE AUSTEN DO

[Katiekinsism]

I love how Knightley comes to Emma's aid in little ways, like at the dinner table when he interrupts the argument between John and Emma's father. Very sweet. I love him!

[SleepyTurtle75]

Isabella doesnt look like her sister at all.

[NaomiLove96]

RUMBLEROARR <3

[Worldflyaway]

@NaomiLove96 Gotta love AVPM fans <3

[NaomiLove96]

@Worldflyaway ikr (:

[13vlee]

That house is so big and beautiful!

[Saku2Yuuki]

the horse slipped XD

[racekatt]

I like Dumbledore's scarves.

[34RiverStone]

my God i love Jane Austen. :)

[pettybun]

clueless!!

[flora634]

blake riston shd hv to be Mr. Knightly!!!

[MrKimrussell1]

I think Austen was a genius for writing such an unlikable character.

[luibros]

From all Austen's leading ladies THIS ONE is very shallow, i dont like it so far. It's diferent for example comparing them with the Dashwood sisters or Lizzy Bennet, or any other women from other writters of that time like Jane Eyre.

This Emma girl is the most shallow of all of them.

[likestowatchmovies1]

I wish those days to come back

[sjnwawa]

THERE´S NO SUB!!!!!!!!! GOSH!!!!

[PurpleNymph]

the father is so adorable!!!! ^^

[34RiverStone]

@PurpleNymph because he's......DUMBLDOOOOOOOOOOOORE­! :D

[NteTaiNeme]

With every adaption I see Harriet seems to get stupider.

[Mandinko23]

Mr. Knightly is soo sensible, he always speak the truth even if emma hates to hear about it. they are soo meant to be, she is dramatic, emotional and sometimes silly, while he is calmm sweet, honest and just straightforward.

[gigilena]

@JoyceWalker0118 mr knightley is very handsome in the book, is the manners that are not as delicate as Mr. Churchill or Mr. Elton! :D

[BabiAusten]

the only "good" thing about this adaptation is blake ritson. I find this adaptation too "modern" and don't think emma and mr. knightley have any chemistry whatsoever!

[Fairycake90]

this is fantastic! I really liked the gwyneth paltrow version but i absolutely adore this one! It´s so much fun to watch, thankyou for uploading!

[gotGodandHislove]

hahahahahaha that moment with the riddle, so exasperating lol poor Emma she has such a ...dumb friend. lol and her hair is weird.

[fhockey13]

damnit, I wanted Emma and Mr. Elton together! not mr. knightley >:(!!!

[12lilsister]

lol I like how Elton's horse always slips a little when he's riding. It seems to add to the silliness of his character. (and all addition to his silliness is needed in this one, for he is far too good looking to giggle at for to long without sighing in heartache!) ;)

[Abbos1106]

Looooove this.

[BubblegumPopMusic13]

although it must be really annoying to have a dad so overprotective and always worrying, i think he's just so sweet and he always does look so genuinely worried, it would be hard not to like him no matter how silly some oh his ideas may be

[biancahelsens]

I love the music in this series

[francoise5]

Thanks for posting this series!!

[DIGS179]

7:55 hahaha love it " 'scuse me"

[roxynerd10]

mr elton is nice-looking but he's starting to be creepy

[Abbos1106]

@roxynerd10 He creeped me out the moment I saw him in the church... 

[trilingual28]

I think I really really like John Knightley, Mr. Knightley's brother...his smile is so cute!

[azoressinger]

Thank you so much for posting!!! : )

[ohgoodjoy]

Such beautiful HD. Thank you so much!

[mannixisle]

Emma's father would drive anyone crazy with his hypochondria!

[Delcielo9]

KezWasHere

I should have said that her formidable heighth makes her stoop and seem less elegant. Daughters of landed gentry were taught how to move with grace, to stand straight, not to stare with open mouths, to use good manners while eating, etc. It is not Romola's looks but her extreme facial gestures that do not fit the role of Emma.

[sanitythroughmadness]

oh man, after she said "Ship court!" that was a sure sign to stop matchmaking LMAO!

[Delcielo9]

Although this Emma is likeable she lacks the grace of Austen's Emma. The actress's formidable heighth is a disadvantage in this role. Her body movements seem uncouth and her mouth movements look clownish. She is better suited to play a farmer's healthy daughter rather than a daughter of landed gentry.

[KezWasHere]

@Delcielo9

Really? You have statistics on this, then? What did typical daughters of landed gentry look like? What if they happened to look like the actress here and be tall-ish? They were thrown out of the family to become farmer´s healthy wives? And how about the moves then? Do you have videos so that we could compare?

[heidiho23]

@Delcielo9 height

[Sarandib22]

Ah, Christmas traditions... like bickering over dinner. I don't miss those at all.

[puffycat236]

When she screams "COURTSHIP!!" I laughed so hard.

[VampireObsessed09]

"Ship court!" I loved Emma's face when she says that! I thought that Emma can be a little annoying, when she forces relationships, like the refusal of Robert...Martins? Can't recall the name. yeah, but she's just trying to be good at heart, and she has spirit :)

[liviapbgomes]

briliant!!!

[steflondon88]

Is she related to

Mr. Knightley, like in clueless how they were "almost" step brother and sister?

I am sorry I have yet to read Emma.

[SOPHISCE]

Emma's elder sister Isabella Woodhouse is married to Mr. George Knightly's younger brother John Knightly. Therefore, Emma and Mr. Knightly are in-laws.

[Lindysse]

@SOPHISCE Well, technically Mr Knightley is the brother of Emma's brother-in-law- but yeah, they are practically in-laws :)

[punkkimiko]

love this! and i love emmas personality even though she may seem annoying sometimes

[pequeniocristo3d]

@punkkimiko

Sometimes? I almost hated her at first but then... I just accepted her.

I was so mad about the idea of Austen writting about someone like Emma. I don't know why I was so.. against this special character of hers. Finally, at the very end, I kinf od fell in love with the book. It just jumped from one extreme to the other.

But yes, I love Emma too.

[LuneFleur]

Me too. She's a silly rich girl, but in spite of her little prejudices and childish fantasies, she has a good heart, she takes care of her father and she's certainly not as vain and arrogant as someone who's been spoilt as she has could end up being.

[justanotherhypocrite]

why didn't mr. elton just say the riddle was for emma? he could have shot down the idea that it was for ms. smith and then there would have been no confusion... oh well

[tribebohemian]

I think his arrogance prevented him from ever thinking that Emma would imagine otherwise. He was SEVERELY shocked when he realized that not only was Emma uninterested in marrying him but that she'd hoped to set him up with the likes of Miss Smith.

[SwimmingGoddess]

How can you say that!?!?! Emma and Mr. Knightley are the PERFECT couple! Emma may make mistakes, but we all do. Her heart is in the right place, which is what counts.

[LVanMaren]

Hey, Elton and Emma totally deserve each other. Better a sweet useless girl like Harriet than a snarky useless girl like Emma - who is actually more frivolous than poor Harriet.

Odd that they give the original lines to everyone but the main character, Emma....who just seems to be bent on being a contentious woman 90% of the time.

[boya307]

I think the whole story is about Emma growing up. It's not her fault that she's been spoiled all her life. But through the events happening in this story he becomes a better person, and a large part of it is with the help of Mr. Knightley. As for who is better to end up with who, you can never tell. The heart wants what the heart wants. There is no such thing as a perfect couple. What you think is perfect, might not seem perfect to others.

[zadniprur]

emma's dresses resemble the traditional Russian "sarafan"

curious

[NoiMoldovenii]

Exactly my thoughts! :)

[Jfad18]

In the old Emma Mr. Elton was soooo creepy and ugly but this Mr. Elton I find strangely attractive!

[gooeyday]

I think Mr. Elton is perfectly cast... Handsome, but sooo cheesey!

[sjaeckh]

I love Mr. Woodhouse, I want to give him a big hug

[hundehuegel]

COURT SHIP!!!! XD

[espritnoir88]

I just LOVE the casting of this adaption.

Romola and JLM are perfect!

[hibs0102]

i love johnny lee miller!!

[krissbennet]

lol, Poor Emma, I don't blame you for only reading two pages of Mr. Milton.. that thing's a nightmare!

[iridescentblue]

I love Elton's hair :) In terms of him and Knightley, he's one up there

[georgiannakate]

Love it! Thanks for posting!

[Ttennets]

"Ship court!" oh man she's so....clueless.

[kedgre]

@Ttennets Emma's face was like ugh!

[AmyJoyH]

Does anyone know who the soundtrack is by???

[gertrudewhite]

Haha. Emma is so totally blind. :^) Mr. Elton is pretty good-looking in this one.

[Lodrongirl]

@gertrudewhite he plays edmund in mansfield park (2007)

[TheXetumare]

@gertrudewhite he's in did

[Kinelectric]

Cool man. Couldn't stop watching but I liked the 1996 version better where they tried to figure out the meaning of the riddle??

[deadSIRENS]

thank you thank you!

[MsAustenfan]

Gorgeous :)

[cobb829]

thanks for posting! can't wait for the rest!
