Northanger Abbey - Part 2

[SelenaMulan]

I maybe read the book once; don't remember the story. My Favorites in order are: Persuasion; Emma; and Pride and Predjudice. VERY handsome gentlemen!! Not as HOT as Colin Firth; Ciaran Hinds; Jonny Lee Miller; or even Rupert Jones; but u could get used to him; he is NICE looking!! I've got to admit it Catherine does remind me of myself; at that age; I DID read that much and fantasise/imagine; but what she reads I really didn't read what she read; I read CLEAN romances; like Jane Austen!!

[lavenderparfume1]

what'sthis story about?... if someone has read the book or watch this completely would you tell me please? thank you

[annandyenyn]

I find it incredible that every woman/girl out there could relate to at least one Jane Austen heroine. Catherine Morland was mine and I was ridiculously cheering her on throughout the whole book. xD

[Songsmirth]

But for a pin,

I'd never known him. . .

[vintagerosenz]

Hmm not too fond of this. The only adaptations I like are pride and prejudice 2005, persuasion 2007, sense and sensibility 2008 and the comedy lost in Austen for modern day. I felt the casting was right for this. Yet I feel these actors/actresses aren't 'austeny' and too modern looking

[MoonSpinner44]

I've always had such a soft-spot for Northanger Abbey; probably because I connect so much to Catherine in relating real life to certain books I've read. XD

[annahill99]

Whoever thinks Tilney has the sexiest voice has obviously never heard Matthew McFadyen speak.

[JaneEyre29]

What a yucky awkward crowded party!

[13mysticmeg]

JJ. Feild reminds me so much of Jude Law..in the way he speaks if he did a period drama...why hasn't he done a period drama...but HELLO Mr Tilney...;) I've loved JJ Feild's work after this...he's just...so....SWOON :D

[lollypop123]

Thats how you impress a girl "understand muslin"

[SleepyTurtle75]

lol thats the best line ever

"Shops must be visited! Money must be spent! Do you think you could bear it?'

[smuha35]

Is the master of ceremonies straight? The red bow is disturbing.

[doorcty]

I LOVE how Mr. Tilney kicks those slacker men off the chairs so the ladies can sit down!

[behappy196]

heyyy,, thats royston white from the robin hood series!!

[nihilsindeus]

Henry Tilney has officially the sexiest epic voice ever...he should sing or record his voice reading something-I'd definitely buy it!

[leadmyguitar]

Icesk- totally. He's a flamer.



[annie38114]

i don't like this Mr.King. he is so annoying!! his acting is sooo... unnatural... take a look at this: 5:25

[feminaprovita24]

i didn't understand this movie the first time I watched it, it was so out of Jane Austen's style, but its so funny! and I love how he's so different than the other heros of her stories! *sigh*

[chiquitabanana7]

<3 Mr Tilney

[Persuasion1969]

@aldermanoffountall do I detect a note of sarcasm or is that sincerity. I'll take either...just curious.

[emoduck137]

Ohh..mr tilney is just so smug...mmmm

[Persuasion1969]

Where are the manners and social graces today? I was born 200 years too late. Ughh!

[DuchessAliana]

Why am I never lucky enough to randomly bump into a Henry Tilney at a social gathering? -_-

[Leibstandarte1944]

I always wished I could be a Napoleonic Officer :S

admittedly after watching these Georgian series i think BBC 98' Vanity Fair was the best

[mygirlfanatic]

he is soooo charming!

but i think i prefer awkward non-talking lovely Darcy-types.heehee<3

[russianviking25]

"we would be expelled from polite society" bravo!

[heylittleluna]

Tilney is the hottest Jane Austen love interest. At least in my opinion.

[barnabyfraser]

She looks dissapointed when there are no more parcels to go in the carriage.

[vegetables88]

yes, that's what I look for in a man: an understanding of muslin. lol

[CNapoleonBear]

3:31

Nosebleeeeeeeeeed

[TheIronFey]

TIIIILNEY <3

[810marsbar]

i love how mr tilney says delighted at 4 :39 :P

[jessajessajessa]

would you have us laughed out of bath? ;)

[arsah17]

@songsmirth: I think the same too abt the pin!  Ppl dnt wear tailored clothes anymore, mostly tht is, but I have most dresses tailored!:) it is just perfect thn ready-made!

[Savitta]

Is it just me, or is Mr. Tilney's voice extraordinarily sexy?

[looniegurl]

3:35 Where in the world did the pin come from?

[Songsmirth]

@looniegurl I don't know!  I think those dresses must have had some adjustments and the tailer left in a pin. Interesting because in those days (if I remember correctly) they were hand made, so precious.

[canadarox14]

I've been to parties like that, you know, with the awkward silence and people giving you funny looks. Socializing. It's such a pain.

[rustown1]

just realized that actress paying Mrs. Allen is the original Fanny Price!

[TheIronFey]

@rustown1 ARE YOU SERIOUS??

WOW

never knew :D

thank you !!! :)

[rustown1]

@TheIronFey The actress that played Fanny Price about 1981(not sure of the date) plays Mrs. Allen in the last BBC production of Northanger Abbey

[littleart5]

seems so claustrophobic to be in that croud. I'd want to get out of there as soon as i coulc

[widedwondergirl]

I love how sarcastic Mr. Tilney is. He could hardly keep a straight face.

[clpearson991]

Mr. Allen. Smart man...get out of that crowd!

[Songsmirth]

The dream sequences are a hoot! lol Could Mr. Tilney look more gallant?  lolol

[ghostxxxrebirth]

Mr. Tilney. *swoon*

[shadeofcolors]

i spot kitty

[etthisanc]

J.J Feild as Mr Henry Tilney

[outerspaceoutpost]

After reading Pride & Prejude many times since high school, (I'm 43) & seeing

some of her other books made into movies & being a writer & romantic myself. I

think I can begin to understand where this movie is taking us. Thanks for uploading. Looking forward to seeing the rest. God Bless.

[freakybrowneyes7]

Catherine's gown is really pretty... and i'm really liking this Mr. Tilney fellow =)

[Bubbletea116]

i like catherine's character. she kinda reminds me of myself.

[abrosal]

@Bubbletea116 She is one of the most relatable Austen characters...atleast i think so:)

[RosheruCell]

Was that Robert Webb I saw in the tea room?

[carly4stevenarnold]

@RosheruCell nope its someone who looks very similar to robert webb called william beck :)

[BlueberryMuffin4Sam]

Mr. Tilney is the best!!! I love the way he looks at Catherin...n_n so cute.

[AVBKansas]

I love Mr. Tilney! He's one of the best out of the Jane Austen "heroes."

[ohmyclumsyheart]

imagine someone farted in that crowded room >.<

[lijluvr356]

@ohmyclumsyheart I'd rather not.

[Maria6237]

My goodness, what a crowded room!!! LOL

[DancersAreCool]

Mr. Tilney for the win.

[Minty210]

The MC must have an excellent memory. Imagine how embarrassing it would be if you were asked to introduce someone and you had no idea who they were ^^

[MissTamTamXD]

@randomkisses16

j j feilds is in his early thirties i think....

[LilxAznxCore]

i think this is my favorite jane austen movie!

[saltyypeoch]

He's GORGEOUS

[crystalclear411]

"Gentleman!" Love that exchange. XD

[chipmunkkk3]

dang... that's the thing about those times when you couldn't talk to anyone without being introduced by someone that knows you and the other person... that would have annoyed me. I mean what an inconvenience

[minnie110]

@chipmunkkk3 i know right??? i would just go : how you doin'?

Bless Joe ;P

[WoundedWolfgirl]

Mad dash for the seats, very nice. I think we've all been there before. :D Thank you so much for uploading! I'm currently making my way through JA's books, so far I've only read Emma (my favorite), P&P and S&S, I didn't even know what the others are about. So I cheated and came on here to watch them. :D Catherine and Henry are delightful! Though I don't think they shall supplant my favorite Austen heroine and hero, Emma and Darcy. God Austen was such a genius!

[phantomfever17]

@WoundedWolfgirl I'm doing the same thing! I've read P&P and Persuasion. And I'm almost done with Northanger Abbey. It's a pretty good. And Henry Tilney is awesome. lol.

[chesykin97]

Catherine Morlan looks a lot like Scarlett Johansson.

[iwishiwasalice]

Of all Austen's heroines I think I would most likely be friends with Catherine. She is so "unaffected", funny, entretaining and spontaneous

[nana12cc]

i think Catherine looks a bit like scarlett johansson

[InternationalWords]

How goofy that they couldn't introduce themselves. I would have put out a hand immediately for Mr. Tilney. To heck with the Master of Ceremonies!

[stoneoffarel]

he is good looking :D

[MsOMyGosh]

2:01 PERVERT ALARM!

I thought he was going to grap her ass...

To bad he didn't xP

[pentime6]

I do not know if anyone else has realized it but the person who plays Catherine's brother played the ministerin "Chocolate" ( that movie with Juliette Binoche ,judy dench, etc.)

[bleep111]

Id die for Mr Darcy.

[transnet87]

Is that Wickam from Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth?

[icesk8ergal1123]

I love Mr. Tilney!! He's such a flirt, so different from all the other Austen heroes! :)

[mmiddl06]

he can't help looking at her!!! SO CUTE!

[BeeVan19]

I am not sure about the flower in the middle of her head... Looks out of place

[CookieFace2010]

This is the most I've laughed during a Jane Austen film!! I love it so far!

[avalon2468]

this is my favorite dress of cathy's from the movie i wish we could dress like that today

[freelivesthebird]

I wish everyone would dress the same as people back in the 1800's. Their dresses were sooo sooo pretty and :D

[avalon2468]

i know now days wearing a dress 5 sizes to small is considered sexy how our times have failed young women

[LeyloErnandez]

has anyone seen the mr. tilney from the 1986 version...uuggghhh

[billzada13]

Thanks for posting it. :D

[snowy4hk]

I KNEW IT! This is a chick flick!

[freelivesthebird]

Hahahahaha I laugh when I read this :D

[anatinoni]

Henry Tilney is very charming..I love his character in the novel..and the actor in this movie was an excelent choice..

[cutyariana]

love mr.allen

[carjpie]

Mmm, JJ Feild. Yum

[Herstory4321]

I've got to say this is the most perfectly cast Jane Austin movie ever. Catherine is maybe too pretty to be the only non-perfect girl heroine Jane planned. But she is a perfect innocent sweetie.

The other one I really like is the version of P&P done in the 1980's.

[chizzieshark]

Ah, where has chilvalry gone? Men getting up for ladies was the norm back then. Now guys don't do it cause they're too "cool". *shakes head*

Mr Tilney rocks.

[TheLollygagger]

That and any feminist within sight gets mad at them. Seriously, I saw a woman snap at a man for holding a door open for her. ~shakes head~

Not only are guys becoming jerks, the girls are too.

[MoonPhase94]

I'm a feminist but I don't snap at guys for opening a door for me (lol) I think men ad women are equal and should be treated as such. I wouldn't want men to stand up every time I entered a room or for me to be treated like a child because I'm female, but I think simple manners (like holding open a door) goes both ways. I do it for men too. I agree that both men and women can be jerks.

[jamierourketen]

@MoonPhase94 this was set in 1800 or there abouts,there was so much decorum,you could hardly breath,the word feminist did not exist! women were basically baby making machines!different planet entirely!....

[MoonPhase94]

@jamierourketen oh, I know. I was answering someone elseon a slightly off topic discussion.

[Alee3000]

He's cute...

[loopidelou]

lol What is with all the guys hitting on her???

[dolceXmelita]

i love her expression at the ball!!! love love love....so full of ...I dont know the word in english -.-

[shediedlarfing]

wow. 'society' sucked. lol

[tiffers1912]

That must've sucked to not be able to talk to someone until someone else introduced you to them. Can you imagine having to do that at a party nowadays?

[gnarlywrinkledwench]

Oi! When I was young, I was raised that way, and sometimes, it was a protocol I followed especially when meeting someone of the opposite gender. Then I experienced the transition of that etiquette in society to what it is today. That transitional time was quite awkward at times, and I would get odd looks from people of the new etiquette!

[DrottningHel]

Seriously? That's awesome. I'm going to raise my kids that way! xD

But where was this? I don't know of any culture who still needs this kind of introduction before they may adress each other.

[mariarochester]

soo trueee buh its sorta cute in a way :P

[joyleng]

it will be a silent party LOL

[clawpants88]

I have always wondered about the look he gives the guy at 4:54 ... stares them down? So out of character

[anisete46]

in what else did the actress playing Catherine appear?

[JinxsaSalem]

The Diary of Anne Frank, an episode of of Doctor Who

[LittlebunnyakaPygmy]

The Worst Witch and Weird Sisters COllege for two example XD

[valluco23]

really? o_o who did she play? mildred hubble?

[LittlebunnyakaPygmy]

no Ethal the "enemy " to mildred

[valluco23]

XD wow ethal got really pretty.

[carly4stevenarnold]

@LittlebunnyakaPygmy wow i never realised that was ethel lol

[dirkschuitsma]

Flashbacks of a fool.. I am going to watch it now..

[muffin818]

lol, Mrs Allen was funny when they were at the tea table.

[19KleinechaotiN94]

Mr. Tilney looks a little bit similar to jude law doesn´t he? sry because of the englisch

[josabby474]

He definately looks like Jude Law when he smiles. The first time I read the book, I actually imagined Jude Law playing Henry. :)

[poetshine]

Thank God for the invention of bags good grief if they hadn't i could never go shopping....if i did i definitely would need a big car lol

[jerona]

haha I always notice small things like that as well :)

[tumbledon]

in all these movies...they all go to "Bath". I wonder what it was like back then.

[lunaverna]

Where are all those men who understand muslin? Where?! :P

[Cuteandsweet]

wow u had 2 wait to be introduced, if not it would be impolite

[j0andc0]

Naturally, a lady couldnt go herself, that wouldnt do you see.

[hendrixization]

Who is that playing Henry Tilney? he is HAWT!!!

[SweetPea4237]

JJ Feild

[randomkisses16]

@hendrixization

His name is J.J Feilds, remeber though this movie was made in 1987, so hes probably alot older now , then again depends on how old you are of course, I'm 16 but I agree he's pretty yummy, and what a smile lol :)

[feeyona]

@randomkisses16 I thought this was a 2007 adaption? Unless I'm mistaken :S

[19KleinechaotiN94]

@randomkisses16

no it´s actually from 2007 ^^ so we are lucky (can i say that in englisch?)

he´s still young :)

[hanakimigirl16]

i want the dress...

[generationYkid]

Tehe, I love how Mr. Tilney brings Mr. King in to introduce himself. :)

[gemmaballard2712]

i luv the looks that henry gives catherine every now and again, especially when they first meet.

[hilaryrules91]

This movie is awesome! I really want to read the book again

[Chutkiiiii]

catherine really is beautiful! and she is so young, as she should of course, but its rather uncommon for an austen story

[hihosilverlining2]

when did we girls begin the love of shopping lol

[Krumphis]

3:47 "He understands muslin!" oh, that makes it all better!!! lol

[Milchreisbraut]

lol, so much like modern clubbing ... squeezing throug crowds of people, the dance floor is way too full, if you spot some free seats it's GO GO GO or they're taken :D

[dramaqueen465]

mr. tinley is HOT. it is always a gamble with these men in these jane austen films but i am glad to say that i love mr. tinley's looks. i had seen this film a while ago and i had forgotten how he looked like. this was a pleasant reminder. and his voice is superb, i loooooooooooove the way he speaks!

[HenrySimmerson]

And he understands Muslin!

[nutellalover9307]

And that, of course, excuses him from any and all criticism. Forget about time, muslin heals all wounds - or, at least, otherwise suspicious lady guardians.

[CaptainJenna7]

nicely said.

[wavebombgurl1990]

and the way he goes to find someone to introduce him.....!!!! i luv tilney

[wavebombgurl1990]

i love the way he looks at her...ahh.TDF!! (to die for!)

[JAzeneth10]

haha yes i totally agree wit u sjaeckh!!

[sjaeckh]

He understands muslin...mmm excellent. I would love to live in that time period for a little bit - the balls, the gowns, the dancing - but then return to 2009 in the U.S. where women have so many more opportunities!!

[calimerette62]

I would like to live in that time and never return, but only if I can have the life of Jae Austeen's characters...They all are independant, and marry for love, and the writte if they want to...So I wouldn't mind living there forever, as a Jane Austeen's character!

[gglennwill]

It is a dream, but sadly Jane Austen makes that time much easer tham it really was

[andrea2700]

Every time I watch a Jane Austen movie, I can help but to wish the same thing !

[greeneyes2011]

Same here!

Maybe the world should have a Jane Austen day where everyone must dress up in that time and act accordingly... or a Jane Austen month... or year :oP

[brokenslayer]

Try lifetime...

[greeneyes2011]

Hahaha, yea I agree with you ... that sounds so much better :o)

[sjaeckh]

A Jane Austen month/day/year sounds SPECTACULAR...We should start a movement!!

[anatinoni]

I totally agree..I looove the novels...she was an amazing writer..her stories lead me to daydreaming..ahaha

[freelivesthebird]

When do they not? :D, If I could have one wish it would to be in a jane austen novel. :D I always dream about the perfct Mr. darcy coming to take ME away :D hahahaha but one can dream.

[hopefaithloverespect]

I believe everyone wishes that they can be taken away with Mr Darcy! :) hmm I think Jane Austen's stories have ruined my chances of finding true happiness in love because no one shall meet the standards of JA's men! But her stories have also taught me to be a true believer in love and the impossible!

[morgandrim]

You must not say such things, young lady. Such men still exist. Alas, not in I. But there are fair chaps in the world. And I say to you fair well - wherever you sojourn !

[sasa8881]

@freelivesthebird well the only thing that bothers me is that women didn`t have that much power around those years... but a mr. darcy would be great anyway XD

[TelcontarRulz]

Life in that society is only good when you are gentry. If you're working class...

[j0andc0]

Good point, if you were Aristocrat in England and had the constitution of an ox you had the sweetest life on the planet, possibly of all time, but if you're working class? Well just read Charles Dickens or Thomas Hardy.

[branwyn1914]

Opportunities, germ theory, indoor plumbing...

[crosturphobic]

felicity jones is a really good actress

[helenlila]

Mr. Tilney is the best Jane Austen man

[meininki]

I agree. :)

[shazphilip]

tilney is sooo cute..ha

[monkeychick42]

I like Ms. Allen!!!! lol

she's so funny =]

and I think cathrine is very pretty except theres something about her mouth I dont like.. lol

[cinnamonstix1990]

aaaaaaah! 4:52-4:53! i love it! if only there were such gentlemen in the world. i think i want to go back and live in jane austen's time period!

[lillymoscha]

you gotta love mr Darcy but i think Henry my second fave lol

[Tigger0Tiger]

I know right! what really freaks me out is that there is a boy who goes to my school that looks exactly like Henry!!!!

[polo12guard]

you lucky girl!

[luckypeachgurl]

omgosh! mine too.

[Eruadhiel]

Mr Tilney is so nice, the others are really mean! I'm glad our society is no longer so...boring. Imagine never being able to meet anybody new without being introduced! Ha.
