I wish Catherine's ignorance were lesser that she might realize what serpents and adders these Thorpes are. I was aggravated wholly in the book by Isabella's taking advantage of Catherine's trusting nature.
John Thorpe does give me the creeps!! BTW; Catherine is the Austen heroine I'm most like; not sure about Tilney; will get back to u about him; good looking I'll give him that!! Like Miss Tilney too!!
This film production has watered down John Thorpe's character considerably. In the novel, when he arrives in Bath with his friend, he tells his mother she looks like an old witch in her new hat, greets his younger 2 sisters by telling them they look ugly, and considers Mr. Allen and General Tilney "rich as Jews."
When I read the book John Thorpe kept saying "damn" but it was written as "d---" and I feel so stupid because while reading I could figure out what it meant! It's so obvious!
Oh, come on, adaptation, the "when she saw a beautiful lady by his side she immediately deduced she was his sister, because he'd spoken of a sister before but not of a wife, and missed a great opportunity to faint from the shock of learning he's already taken" was the most hilarious part of the book .\
I love Catherine's face when Tinley walks in with his sister and says " allow me to introduce Eleanor, my sister" and Cathy's face of relief "oh thank God not wife"
Ugh, girls like Isabella drive me crazy. All they care about is getting a guy's attention. And they act like they don't care and are even insulted by their interest, but they are so fake! And I hate when I fall for their innocence act like Catherine does. She needs a man like Mr. Tilney to keep her from being so naive. He can see through her!
What is it about Isabella that one doesn't like immediately? Anyone? She knows she's pretty but she's gets uglier by the minute. HUMPH! lol These two guys know exactly what kind of girl Isabella is. She looks back to make sure they will follow. And James is no better at reading people than Catherine and the Thorps know their pigeons ripe for the plucking. Again, HUMPH damit. lololol Cath thinks Thorpe is very kind, her being a country bumpkin. I keep wondering what kind of background?
@cellolove7 I completely agree. No offense to the actor but he's built more for horror stories. There isn't one thing appealing about him. He's pushy and totally unproper. Cussing after two sentences to the girls. A gentleman never cussed in front of ladies and I'm surprised Catherine's brother didn't object. Both these syblings seem too over the top for decent people. The girl is into her own power where young men are concerned. I believe they were sent there on a mission. To marry $.
What a ho-bag Isabella Thorpe is! and what an ogre is John Thorpe, he's even worse in the novel. Austen has him cussing in what had to have been a scandalous manner then. Ick, he's soooo creepy!
Good lord, I don't think Isabella's breasts could be any more on display if she just took the dress off completely! And John is so foul mouthed and creepy. Gah, I despise the whole Thorpe family!
they always say that in these kind of movies: "I am sure that we will be the very best of friends" .. not knowing her before and not giving her girl any chance of "no" as an answer;-)
I'd really have to disagree, Henry Tilney is indeed gorgeous, but John has a dark odd attractiveness to him [even though with lighter features]. And his stare, it is crreepy yet unnerving. Well, opinons are just opinions,..
john thrope looks n acts like a stalkerr, eww im in utter awe how she was able to look at his ugly face, speak directly to it, and even dance with it/him !! :O
john thrope looks n acts like a stalkerr, eww im in utter awe how she was able to look at his ugly face, speak directly to it, and even dance with it/him !! :O
I will stop watching this now. There is so much wrong with it that I cannot bear another minute. Who needs films when there are books to reread...???:-)
@HermioneNo1 I agree with you! This is possibly my favourite book ever, and whilst this adaptation is quite clever with all of Catherine's little dream sequences it deviates far too much from the book. Also, I was quite looking forward to Isabella, but she isn't nearly as annoying enough!
@bchan89 lol..so do i....that's what's so great about NA; a lot of the things in this novel can be paralleled to today. Lots of girls today behave like Isabella.
Mr Tilney seems just her type very fanciful,they were cute together-started watching the 1987(?)version and thought it was weird-did'nt get her fanciful dreams-they were more like nightmares and her new friend Isabella was so nauseating with her constant giggling-I thought this can't be a true JA adaptation -only watched 4 segments till I changed to this one-it's much better-hav'nt read the book but knowing other JA-novels/ movies this adaptation seems more true.
Its revolting how Miss Thorpes attitude changes when she first meets Miss Morland, i know Miss Morland is young and innocent, but she should of been sussed out a lot quicker.
Were more Cynical on people nowadays and a lot less tolerent, mores the pity.
"I had the pleasure of staring out you and creeping you out while you were dancing with Jude Law. Maybe next time I can dance with you and Jude Law can creep you out."
Thorpe says 'd--' every other word. Tacky man. ;_;
