Emma 2009 - ep. 3 (part 4 of 7)

[frenchaccount1]

"She and Mr. Churchill are made for each other!"

Mr. Knightly: grrr....

[jfitzner1]

ahhhh!!! I love Mr. Knightly!! He's the best kind of man!!

[SleepyTurtle75]

lol it actually rhymes.

Is this how it should be?

Is he still in love with me?

[agathavercotti]

6:20,that look,Mrs Weston,shows everything:)

[DarkOrMisunderstood]

"Is he still in love with me?"

*ignored*

"---he is NOT still in love with me"

LOL XD

[SleepyTurtle75]

No offense, i think Emma is WAAAAAY prettier than that Jane girl

[misslizzie1204]

mr knightley is the cutest thing, i love him in this version :)

[TelheirasSCD]

The 2 dances shown in this clip (which I believe were both devised especially for the series) seem more akin to what would be described nowadays as ceilidh dances. The more elegant dance which Emma subsequently dances with Mr. Knightly is more like a kind of country dance known in Scottish country dance (SCD) circles as a strathspey. Both ceilidh dances and country dances (traditional ones and newly-devised ones) are still danced by ceilidh groups and country dance groups. Sue Willdig

[Maybeshesbornwithitt]

I get that Mr. Churchill is covering up his engagment to Ms. Fairfax but does he really have to give her such reproachful comments!

[MsMusicCrazed]

For some reason i love it when she say "WOOOOO!!!"

[LizyDawn]

Dun Dun Dun DUN

[fauxgrace]

That's dancing! Let's do it!

[linlovesthedoctor]

"Why, you. If you will ask me."

I LOVE that line!

[BettyMakaBoop]

Miss Bates is always so well-meaning. I like her. She is quite a bit to take on , butI find her less annoying than in the Emma movie. Maybe it is Tamsin Greigs doing, for I can't remember Miss Bates from the book.

[Isabeeell93]

Lol Mr. Knightley is so cute when he dance :p Haha.

[GillyBean369]

Emma: Your secret is out.

Mr. Knightley:...Shit. I hope she doesn't mean the fact that I'm in love with her...

Emma: You dance better than anyone

Mr: Knightley: relieved.

Oh, Mr. Knightley. I understand you.

[lizzielonglegs]

"My dancing days are quite over".

Mrs Weston: UNIMPRESSED FACE.

[eleanor27x]

Mr. Knightley is such a gentleman! They don't make them like that anymore!

[MuDD834]

When Ms. Bates said that Emma and Frank are perfect for eachother Knightly's face was sooo funny and adorable! It was like "Ohhhh heck no! They are not!" Haha! I love Mr. Knightly!:)

[LivingintheShire]

"For what?" hot hot hot hot! He just said that so well!! 8:04

[LivingintheShire]

UGHHHHHHH why do they even show the orchestra if they are terrible at fake-playing?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Why can't they just hire real musicians instead of extras??!?!?!?!?!

[fleurgi]

actually never mind about churchill he is rude. i like mr. knightley he is kind

[fleurgi]

l like frank churchill he is charming

[msuspartans112]

I have never seen such wild dancing in a Jane Austen movie.

[rachelradar24]

mr knightley: who will you dance with?

emma: why,you

mr knightley :O

<3

[AliceCullensAwesome]

Mrs. Elton's hand-flip at 3:08 is SO FUNNY! Everything about her is absolutely vile...

[pseudonymousgirl]

Oh how I adore Mr. Knightley, I just want to marry him!

[ForeverSummertastic]

I want to dance like that!! It looks so fun

[panamakira]

Ugh! Mrs. Elton.....I would just throw my civility out the door at both of the Eltons had they treated a friend like that. Knightley to the rescue of course!

[StrangerInDurban]

It's Fanny!!

[AnnaBxox24]

it always feel like harriet, but mr knightley never saves me....

[pegger1982]

anybody else wanna smack the Eltons? especially Mrs. Elton??

[CrazySexyCoolmeisha]

lol they are so aweful all the two of them do is talk about jane. i think all of them will be friends eventually

[uab123456789]

would've went chris brown on eltons ass!

[birinak]

SPOILER I haven't read the novel, but I don't buy the "Jane has ugly hair" comment from Frank. I think he wants her balls. The letter, the piano, his mean comments about her... they've got something going on for sure!

[need2bloved32]

I love the epression on Mr knightley's face at 8:10 when Emma says "Your secret is out" and then at 8:12 when she says "You dance better than anyone" and he realises what she is talking about.

[KeepPortlandWierd]

oh, i just love mr. knightley for dancing with harriet! such a gentleman.

[Pepsilova]

I love the music. I would love to be part of that dance

[CranfordFan]

Three cheers for Mr. Knightley! The world is sadly lacking such fine gentlemen as he.

[EverlastingxHope]

Does Christina Cole ever play someone nice??

[lynzzzify]

i thought that i wouldn't swoon for this mr. knightly but oh dear, was i wrong!

[bookiee8]

I love Mr. Knightley...that was so nice of him:)

[puddlemini]

I am in love with Emma in this version and so charmed by Mr. Knightly. There are so many scenes in this version that are amazing but I especially love the subtlety of [4:05]'s conversation. Knightly looks so happy because of Emma's happiness but also shows his jealousy. Wonderfully acted.

[adecklo]

"Who you dance with?" " Why, You! if you will ask me!"

What a way to obtain an invitation for a dance! But with a close friend as Mr.Knightly is it will certainly do without any harm to her honour.

He might have felt some pangs of jealousy when he saw he dancing with Frank. Or is it when he realised how much he cares for her?

[russian1618]

I love Mrs.Westin's expression at 6:20. :)

[Indzzgracey]

I hate Frank Churchill, I can never fully grasp his motivations

[221Verona]

*Sigh* Mr Knightley...

I love this scene, thanks so much for posting!

[dovespromise]

The dancing in this adaptation reminded me a bit of Rose and Jack dancing below deck with the "lower-class" passengers on Titanic....very lively! I love the authenticity of the dancing, which, like the entire movie, is youthful and fresh...nothing too stiff or formal. I love the older Austen adaptations by BBC and normally despise any period drama that tries to be too modern. But this movie has a nice balance and has really won me over!

[327ecb]

Oh god. Mr Knightley... *swoon*

Enough said. :P

[ororonsnow]

Mrs Elton is also plays the lead actress in a television show called HEX. She is a very god character in that series at least:-)

[moonfox392]

I love Mrs. Weston's face when Elton says he won't dance with Harriet. She looks at him like he's a moron and an ass. haha

[aussiegirlnz]

awwww I love Mr. Knightly. such a sweetheart! I could not stop smiling at that part. :)

[yuareyummyy]

i wish our dances were like jane austen's dances. the dance now is about having sex with your clothes on. 

[queller77]

The expression on Mrs. Elton's face:"The Shipscook" - so funny!

[sabamerv1313]

@queller77 baha. With her pinky up. I laughed so hard.

[Pepsilova]

I want to go to a ball like Emma, I just love the dances.

[violentfille]

that second dance looks like SO MUCH FUN!!

they knew how to party in georgian-regency england!

[roycoolio]

I love Mr.Knightleyls expression when Emma asks him to dance with her, he's like : "Huh, what did you say woman!?" xD

[animefetish]

emma's expressions and demeanor's so likeable and adorabnle!!

[leeslittlebird]

man, i looooove Knightley, i could just kiss him for that!

[ssparrow331]

The look Mrs. Weston gives to Mr. Elton is JUST what he deserved, lol!!!

[idiotgames]

the actress who plays mrs Elton also plays miss Bingley in lost in austin :), she always plays the bitchy one

[sabburk]

@idiotgames and she's the RLY bitchy daughter in what a girl wants;)

[aussiegirlnz]

@idiotgames and that snobby stepdaughter in What A Girl Wants. has she ever played a nice character I wonder? Lol

[ssparrow331]

Mr. Knightly is SO wonderful saving Harriet! It made me smile!!

[AnnieBanana978]

Oh man, I honestly teared up when Knightley asked Harriet to dance, even though he's not a dancer himself. It was lovely and charming. I love this version of Emma. It captures each characters personalities so well.

[alexandrabak]

Mr. Knightley is soooo kind!

[HaruHigashi]

Mr. Knightly is like the girls' very own knight in shinning armor, I feel like he saved almost all of them at some point in this movie. First is Fairfax, then Smith, Bates, and Emma later on.

[jub184]

I love the dance!!! :) So much fun. We should have the dance in 21st century too! :P

[estimad08]

Does anyone else notice that Emma is not dancing with Frank Churchill the whole time? It's a balding guy.

[estimad08]

This is my favorite version of Emma, even thought it has a somewhat more modern feel than the others.

[musicalmeg19]

This looks like so much fun! I wish we still danced like this.

[planetlychee]

@musicalmeg19 We do! It's called Irish Ceili Dancing! Great fun really.

[gsusluvr321]

@musicalmeg19 I think we do...And I think it's called barn dancing...?

[EvaSaysYAY]

3:47 Knightley is totally jealous! XD

[hindaa11]

3:45 Knightly is dying of jealousy!

[acrosstodd]

Knightley has a sad look when they mention Emma and Frank together :( But I know how it'll go ;)

[sc722442]

Okay lol the 2nd dance looks fun

[RPtheTruth]

Mr Frank Churchill dances rather badly. I think it's hilarious how Mrs. Elton can contrive to be snobby and conceited even while dancing.

[wenglishsal]

@RPtheTruth ... I agree, the way she 'flicks' off Emma's hand like it had something nasty on it... What a pure cow... but Christine Cole really does play 'the bitch role' so perfectly... she plays a wonderful 'cow' in Jane Eyre, with Toby Stephens and Ruth Wilson... Another wonderful production by the BBc... :0)x

[serendipity375]

Why is it that I seem to love Jane Austen's male leads so much?! Mr. Knightly, Mr. Darcy and Captain Wentworth are some of my absolute favourite male characters of either contemporary novels or classics!

[iViewSkating]

@serendipity375 that probably has to do with that fact that her characters had class and chivalry. Most male leads today lack both of those.

[moonstruckfaye]

I love those dancing scenes! Maybe the best I've ever seen in an Jane Austen adaption. They're so lively and look like fun. It gives such a nice fresh aspect to this series.

[hindaa11]

@moonstruckfaye

true , but the dance scene in P&P 2005 actually is one of them most Romantic, lively dance scene in any J.A adaption or any period drama adaption ... even if it wasn't exactly from the book, but definitely the best <3

[EvaSaysYAY]

@hindaa11 I agree C:!

Don't you just love Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfayden together?

[hindaa11]

@EvaSaysYAY

OH YES, they PERFECT for each other <3 i'm in love with Matthew <33

[missvirginiageorgia]

Frank Churchill is the meanest guy ever! He says the rudest things about Jane. Even though he doesn't mean them, he shouldn't say them. I can't stand Mr. Elton or his wife either! They have no regard for others' feelings.

[hindaa11]

@missvirginiageorgia

very true , Frank C is supposed to be in love with Jane ! why would he say those awful things about her? he is handsome alright but Knightly is waaaaaaaaay more gentleman-like than him.

[azngrl318]

Ooo what song was used for Emma's and Knightly's dance?

[itbegabbles]

The dancing in this version is awesome, it's usually so slow and refined. Almost snobbishly so. Lol. This seemed like fun.

[wenglishsal]

Ooh... the way Mrs Elton 'flicks' Emma's hand away like a fly... what a total cow... :0)x

[wenglishsal]

@wenglishsal ... Has anybody seen Christina Cole in 'Lost in Austen'... Or as Blanche Ingram in 'Jane Eyre' 2006... Christina looks fabulous in costume drama's and she really does play 'bitches' very well indeed... :0)x

[RdtheLiterature]

"why you...if you will ask me"

[TheOurobouros]

I'm not sold on the modernization, but Mr. Elton's hair cracks me up. It suits the character very, very nicely that there's just too much product in there.

[Lydsilla1]

lol, when mr.E says Miss Smith and they all clap is funny

[StrangerToEarth]

I absolutely LOVE Frank Churchill in this one. He's so jovial and infectiously mischievous and oh, so, very cute.

[Maryangel24]

i just LOVE the way they used to dance back then!!!

[mskittyluver10]

did any one else see how mr knightley positioned himself so he can dance with emma? i love this ball its the 2nd best adaption i have seen!

[vivascargill]

@mskittyluver10 you mean watch her dance--or do you mean dance with Harriet

[cheesepuffs93]

I love how they develop the characters..

they make them seem like real people. All the gibgabbing...it

's really well done

[giliellthesecond]

It's a nice version but THIS is not Jane Fairfax

[KarensHalifax]

Hah! In your faces Mr and Mrs E!

Yay for Mr Knightley!

[ShawDAMAN]

This dance seems a bit too modern lol.... good movie though much better than I was expecting since by and large I consider the glory days of BBC period dramas to be past ;-\

[StrangerToEarth]

@ShawDAMAN Absolutely right and well put - the glory days of BBC period drama are past. Indeed of ALL period drama, particularly the Jane Austen kind. We will never again see anything as good as the 1995 P&P - and have you noticed how each Jane Austen mini seems to become more and more like a period romp instead of a period drama? Still, I like this one tremendously.

[ShawDAMAN]

@StrangerToEarth

Agreed on all points. "period romp" lol that puts it very well. All period dramas are too "modernized" and any violent or raunchy aspects that can be exploited generally are to full effect, at the expense of the wonderful dialog and plot intricacies that made the originals so good, and the classics that they are. This goes for all the great english authors; Dickens, Austen, Bronte, Eliot, etc etc. But I did like this one although I prefer the 1972 Emma in a number of ways. ;)

[ShawDAMAN]

@ShawDAMAN I meant of course, nearly all *current* period dramas, not all period dramas ;)

[Magichobler]

I love the pause mr. knightly makes when emma says, "thank you, your secret is out," great acting!

[sharletto15]

Emma is GHETTO as hell...screaming while dancing...come on...lol

[sharletto15]

@sharletto15 lol...didn't realize that's the way of the dance.....lol

[kelseybelle17]

Mr. Darcy and Mr Knightley are my favorite Jane Aysten gentlemen!

[KarensHalifax]

@kelseybelle17 I like those gentlemen too ;)

Captain Wentworth isn't so bad either!

[katalina125]

Mr. knightley is such a gentleman.

[milanne83]

Poor Mr Kinghtley has to listen to everyone around him discuss Emma and Mr. Churchill being "Perfect for each other." He and Ms. Fairfax are in the same situation.

[lbuckner711]

This is one of the first dance scences in a jane austen movie , that made the people look like they are having a good time!!

[dp93287]

I love how Mrs. Elton calls her husband "Mr. E"!!

[gingernut4732]

LOL frank churchill looked like bambi when dancing!!!

[gingernut4732]

i so wish i lived in the past and went to balls like this :)

[Lainaska]

I love so much this part. Wish I could find my Mr Knightley and participate to some balls as this one. So more exciting than discotheque !

[LittleWhiteShoes]

Mrs. Elton is so annoying!!

[BegumQ]

I love this Mr knightly-how he analyzes everyone and everything. It does not hurt that he is kind of cute- too :)

[LittleWhiteShoes]

Plus he is so nice to take Ms. Smith for a dance! She was looking really sad and then when he stepped in her face lit up!

[Emilybacon91]

I love Frank Churchill, i think he's really good looking, and funny but he's not exactly honest....

[angelsbeautified]

this movie is soo long!! so they dont call it a movie. they call it episodes!

[AlieandAce]

Ships Cook looks like so much fun and it's such a lively fun song!

[lucyluuuxxxx]

@AlieandAce I would love to dance to that one!

[EmeraldDreams1]

1.57: Isn't Jane Fairfax supposed to be a great, aloof beauty? Laura Pyper portrays her as giggling matron.

[artisallthat]

I noticed that most gentlemen are wearing tan pants, while Mr. K is in black. A few older men have the black. Even his jacket fits differently. Is this to just set him off, or to show that he older or is a little out of date on his dress? Love his expressive eyes.

[soccergirl13]

Mr Knightley is such a darling!!! lol

[sparklebabyboy]

I lvoe how Mr. Knightly would rahter have been boiled alive than dance -but for Harriet's honor, he stepped in. And then when he looks surprised and worried when Emma says 'his secret is out'... *sigh*

[phantomphan77]

This Emma makes really dumb faces. She can't compare to Gwenyth Paltrow.

[nauort23]

Eww! Is that aspic?!? Horrors!!

I'll always like Capt Wentworth best, but Jane Austen never displayed a man in a better light than Mr Knightley in this scene.

[thomasmiano]

Poor Mr. Knightley .......look at his expression at 3:46.... while he watches HIS Emma dance with Frank Churchill. She is so oblivious to his feelings for her. This Knightly is good but the Knightly from Paltrow's Emma is much better.

[tvpms]

how does she not notice that knightly likes her

[tvpms]

cant stand that girl elton

[JaneAustenGirl2]

UGH wheres my mr. knightley?????

[icesk8ergal1123]

*sigh*...and my friends wonder why Mr. Knightly is my favorite Austen hero!! He's such a gentleman. I love Mr. Darcy as well, but definitely Mr. Knightly!!! :)

Something about falling in love with your best friend who's a wonderful gentleman!

[LonelyWorks]

ok that second dance would be a blast!! i wud love that hahaha

[whatdefrik]

I don't like the dancing in this adaption :( It seems kind of lower class or something

[Gadje]

It was a strange fashion of the time. Ladies played at being shepherdess's. gentlemen as sailors. Fantasy idol towards those they socially bettered....in their view of course. Bored to death they had to imagine that their servants loved being so.

[Salamon2]

As the musical Camelot puts it best: "What do the simple folk do?"

And the answer of course always is: "They sit around and wonder what royal folk would do"

[hermione838]

I know that this is totally irrealevant to your commment, but it made me think:

Wouldn't you have loved to have seen the Hornblower guys go to a ball?

[Salamon2]

They tried to go for dances not normally shown in adaptations. Historically, they are accurate, it's just they're rarely shown.

[phantomphan77]

@whatdefrik You know, I thought the same thing. I very much doubt that upper class ladies would be shouting like in that second dance.

[324wilson]

That particular dance with that partiular music requires one to shout!

[marissa09098]

yes, this is true, but they are in the country. in Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy believes the same thing...

[jagirl314]

6:30-7:30....i fall in love with mr. knightly at this point every time i read this scene in the book or see it in a movie.

[jagirl314]

wow...that's a pretty rowdy dance for and austen adaption

[waterlily423]

I'd hate to be miss bates and her mom, just sitting there commenting on how happy everyone else looks

[JaneAustendiamond]

lovely!!

[tiffers1912]

Knightley saving Harriet from humiliation always puts a smile on my face :)

[cheesepuffs93]

@tiffers1912 yeah same here

[xsweetheartforux]

@tiffers1912 I know! He's so nice. He's cute in this version as well :]. The one I own, it was made in the 90s. He wasn't that cute ha.

[iluvsnoopy25]

ooh! they're gonna dance!

[ElfoBlanco]

Too bad the dances in this adaptation are not quite proper with the period :( But well... it is a beautiful ball still.

[mariarochester]

its not proper??? dont they hav the same sort of style of dancing like this one in Northanger Abbey??

[kefaad]

They are proper. English country dancing at its best! They are simply jolier than previous adaptations.

[Icha74]

LOVE it the way Knightley saved Harriet by asking her to dance! The way he asked her to wait before the dance was just too charming!

And the way Emma mused at the fact that she didnt mind that Frank C didnt love her!
