We had to watch this movie in my english class, my friend megan stands up (during the proposal scene with mr. knightly) and says, "just kiss her already!!!" that made the three days watching this worth it:)
Colin Firth's Darcy, and Jeremy Northam's Knightley are the most wonderful, handsomest characters EVER created. I can't decide who's the best, and I adore them both.
I am quite sure that if men today were to put their mind to it then, they may be just as gentlemanly as the men in all of Jane Austen's novels. As women we really are too severe on the oppisite sex when we ourselves are can be just as bad.
"now I may not call you mr. knightley, now I may call you" - YES she's gonna call him by his first name how cute - "MY mr. knightley." yeah, great. very personal. :DDD i so do love this. :D jane austen forever!!!!!!
D: where can I sign up to get a Mr. Knightly!!!!!!! There's got to be a form or something! I'm in love with him! I demand the form! I will fill it out for days, weeks, months, and years need be!
@ULieUBreakMe I'm not sure where you sign up, but I am so happy I finally found mine! He even has the poofy hair! The trick is to marry your best guy friend :D
I love all versions of EMMA, and it is a favorite book of mine.. I cannot be anything but ASTOUNDED at the talents of Gwyneth Paltrow and Toni Colette, one an American and one an Ozzy who both do FANTASTIC English accents.. BRAVO ladies, bravo indeed :0)x
so lovely film, lovely story. Though I promised to myself not to watch the film until I had finished reading the book but couldnt wait. Thank you for uploading
The MUSIC is HEAVENLY! Does anyone know where I can get it. I tried Itunes, but they only had the 2009 BBC version. But, the last line..."Everyone could rejoice in the perfect happiness of the union." Truly inspired and inspiring! I wish all movies could end with lines like that!!
I can never tire from watching this movie. This was my very first Jane Austen adaptation I have ever watched (many, many years ago) and I read Emma prior to it. I must say, they did a very good job with the whole thing right down to the set and to the lighting. Everything was pleasing to the eye. Thank you for the post :)!
Isn't it interesting fact,that the two main female leads are American and Australian..BUT I must say the both do a sterling job and the 'English accents' are spot on for the period... Well spoken Toni Colette(AUS) and Gwyneth Paltrow(USA), well done indeed, I am jolly happy with this version of EMMA... But I must say that the 2009 one with Johhny Lee Miller and Romola Garia is my favorite...
Oh did i say that I loved EMMA, isn't Jane Austen a legend :0)x
God bless Jane Austen, such a beautiful history! Hope to find a man like Mr.Knightley one day, so generous, protector, charming, mature...a man with a big M, it must still exist somewhere!
I just watched the other miniseries version of this book and I must say that I really liked it, but when I came back to this film, I find I prefer this version a lot more. I guess it's b/c its the one I fell in love with in the first place. it still doesn't mean that its better than the other adaption though, just different and captures me more. it seems so many people dispute which adaptions are better than others for all of Jane Austen's books, but really every adaption has its good qualities
I don't know id Jane Austen had the opportunity to meet such men as Mr Knightly, Mr Darcy or Mr Tilney...Or if she, like us, never met such men and just...made them up. Is so, what a shame. I would kill or die to find a man such as them and marry.
This is for sure Jane Austens best books ever. In no other book of her she makes me pleased with a proposal or the details of the happy end, but in Emma. I love this story, this book made me cry, just this one of her. It is full of real, real love, even if you don't want in the first place or you do so many bad things, real love never fades..
I've seen every version of Emma that been made, and this is by far the best! The quality is so much better even than the most recent version (2010, Romola Garai/Johnny Lee Miller). Jeremy Northam and Gwyneth Paltrow both do exceeding justice to the characters. Paltrow's able to portray Emma's devious nature, while still retaining an air of good breeding, and Northam has the perfect slightly brooding yet caring temperament that fits Knightly so well.
I think Knightly is every girls dream! That was the most gorgeous proposal ever! I don't think I will ever meet a guy quite like him. Kind, caring, generous, rich, handsom, and loving even through faults. But IF I ever do, I will be sure to write a book about it.
Ugh - I want a man like Knightly - a good looking gentleman that I see as a friend and loves every single part of me - faults and all.
Emma is lucky. Now all she has to do is actually grow up to match his maturity and they can "check and balance" each other for the rest of their lives.
This is one of my favorites, because she married her best friend. That's what I got. He's not perfect (as Jane's characters would be) but he's wonderful, and he makes me fall in love again every day.
@diamantina101 why not look for someone with the qualities of the character Mr. Knightly? Should we as humans have no hope in anything? Or maybe your suggesting that people should be with others they don't nessesarily like or love. yeah....some REAL world.
@diamantina101 There's absolutely nothing wrong with looking for a guy with the same character traits as Knightely. It's the matter of realizing that the literal character of Knightely will never be found is what counts. There's nothing wrong in looking for qualities that are identical - particularly when they're genuinely good ones.
Now Edward Cullen, on the other hand, is an entirely different story...a stalker and a control freak does not a good lover make.
-sigh- You can never find a more perfect ending then this :) oh its so sweet and heart warming I love you Jane Austion your a a genius and an artist :D
Sadly...there aren't men like Mr. Knightley anymore ooh :) hes so dreamy
every girl deserves a Knightley....they are out there! dont settle for less...i have an "austen" man...every day is like valentines day with him...its been 2 years and he still kisses my hand goodbye...
@SpendLessBeauty1 aw..no..he did met someone like Mr. Knightly and it was Mr.Thomas Lefroy,but she left him.. for some other reasons.. Ms. Jane Austen was a LEGEND.. i so admire her, and now inspires me to buy her books.. =) all of her books always end with happy endings.. but she never had it, even just for once.. =(
@blackspy13 sorry Lefroy was no Knightly ask the Irish whom he treated so badly. Lucky for Jane Austen I do wish she had found her Knightly. She was and remains one of the greatest writers in English BTW I am not sure Mansfield Park has a happy ending--Edmund is no Knightly. But by all accounts Jane Austen was a wonderful person as well as writer
:) I love this movie. Mr. Knightley is just *sigh* perfect. And best bit is... I have a real life "Austen-man" chivalrous, smart, loyal, caring and my best friend. Every girl deserves one :)
@Lizzy0Lucy Yes, Mr Knightley is wonderful! Oh my goodness, your statement gives me hope! So how did you meet that fantastic gentleman of yours? Please tell. (:
Thank you for uploading a wonderful movie! I just hope Austen's wonderful men do not have a negative influence on single ladies out there, making them dream of
D; how I envy all Jane Austen's happy endings. And the men in the stories never fail to charm me. Let's hope there's a Mr Darcy/Knightly/RIGHTLY (as I read in some other post) for ALLLLL of us :D! Austen's stories always make me giggle like a silly 6 year old... Oh wellllll *melts anyway 'cause the ending was so sweet* ;_; !
I don' like this movie. I've seen other two versions of Emma ealier and they both were almost perfect. In my opinion this is much worse than them, especially Gwyneth Paltrow is the worst Emma I've ever seen. I hate the way she plays this role.
The scenery in this movie is beautiful, I love the tree they are under..1.12...okay heart is swooning! The men seemed to love so deeply in these movies. Thanks for posting and I like reading all of your comments, like watching the move with a group of girlfriends.
Are you saying that the lady in 4:08 is Mrs Weston? I'm pretty sure it's Mrs Elton, unless there is something I'm not seeing. I'm just a little confused..
It was good, a nice watch, but it seemed to rush the plot a bit and the characters weren't quite right. But then I guess you can't really compare a novel to a film as it always has to squash it up a bit.
Anyone wanting to watch a better version should look for the BBC1 series adaptation of 'Emma' it was really good.
@leahelainewolf I'm so sorry! I accidentally thumbs downed your comment when trying to do exactly the opposite! I am using a new laptop and must have not noticed my pressing the mousepad down. Dx Sooorrrrryyyy!
I think we could all do with a mr. darcy. It you know that frank churchill (ewan mcgregger) plays Obi Wan Kanobi in star wars!!!! When i saw this movie i was like "hey look its obi wan" i was so excited
@lonesomelittlegirl - Exactly the same here. Shame women arent as amiable and gentle now...'(I would love a miss Fairfax myself), and be a content old married man.
@maham21jan I beg to differ madam, when a true gentleman comes along with all the best qualities to qualify him, albeit somewhat slightly lacking in good looks, they are not given a second glance, that is the sad burden of living in present times. As things stand I wholeheartedly promulgate such disappointments in such foolish females.
@maham21jan Thats not true. I was single for 5 years before I met the love of my life. And he is as kind, gentle and loving as Mr K. There are men like M K out there in this time and this world.
@TheGlassbooks you're very lucky. :) there might be but Very very FEW. and fewer of them have a chance of fancying you if you've actually found one. so consider yourself VERY lucky.
Why is the 1996 BBC version the only one with the line: "I held you in my arms when you were three weeks old" and "Do you like me as well now as you did then?" Favorite line.
Thank you! This story makes me okay with being single for now. I want to follow in Emma's footsteps and marry a man that knows exactly how stupid I am at times and still adores me. This story never falls to inspire me
@vmuzic yours is a lovely comment I just came upon it--though your appreciation of Jane Austen's genius clearly shows you are hardly stupid---good luck! I suspect your "Mr. Knightly" will be a very fortunate man indeed! Cheers!
@vmuzic Thats a really nice thing to read. I was single for 5 years, not having met any decent men, but am now with the love of my life. Been together 3 years. There are decent men out there.,
Thank you very much for sharing this story here. It was interesting to see 'Emma' brought on screen. But I couldn't really get used to Paltrow and Colette as Emma and Harriet. They did a nice job and tried what they could, but yet, somehow even after watching the entire movie, I still didn't manage to see them as Emma and Harriet. But yet, it was an enjoyable movie adaption of the book.
Sorry, Paltrow didn't try what she could, even in the interview to the question " Which research you did, what books you reed", she answered "nothing"( sorry I don't remember exact her words)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Gwenyth Paltrow is so completely terrible in this movie, it almost ruins it. Thank goodness that Jane Austen's creative skills still were intact or else this movie would have been unbearable.
have you ever read the book? Gwyneth Paltrow's character is of such qualities plus the naivety of a young lady who is brougt up with more resources than the rest of people who are part of her social entourage. I do think that Paltrow lacked tto diaplay hat innocence that Austen portrays so very delicately in her book.
I hated Gwenyth Paltrow in this movie....but that just means she did a great job! She played the character very well, and in the end, I was happy she realized her true love!
Emma is almost twenty-two (she says it herself in the course of the film), and Mr. Knightley claims to have been sixteen when she was born--ergo, he is now thirty-eight.
Fortunately, they both agree that the twenty-two intervening years of growth have narrowed the gap somewhat. : )
part 1 and 11 was blocked!!!! please help!!!!!!! suddenly they kissed at the start of part 12..

It was good, a nice watch, but it seemed to rush the plot a bit and the characters weren't quite right. But then I guess you can't really compare a novel to a film as it always has to squash it up a bit.
Anyone wanting to watch a better version should look for the BBC1 series adaptation of 'Emma' it was really good.

you'll be sadly disappointed.Men are trash in real life.Only Austen-men could have the guts to go through all this.

@maham21jan I beg to differ madam, when a true gentleman comes along with all the best qualities to qualify him, albeit somewhat slightly lacking in good looks, they are not given a second glance, that is the sad burden of living in present times. As things stand I wholeheartedly promulgate such disappointments in such foolish females.

maybe.but Austen men were a bit good-looking if not too good-looking in addition to being gentlemen.

@maham21jan Thats not true. I was single for 5 years before I met the love of my life. And he is as kind, gentle and loving as Mr K. There are men like M K out there in this time and this world.

Why is the 1996 BBC version the only one with the line: "I held you in my arms when you were three weeks old" and "Do you like me as well now as you did then?" Favorite line.

Thank you! This story makes me okay with being single for now. I want to follow in Emma's footsteps and marry a man that knows exactly how stupid I am at times and still adores me. This story never falls to inspire me

@vmuzic yours is a lovely comment I just came upon it--though your appreciation of Jane Austen's genius clearly shows you are hardly stupid---good luck! I suspect your "Mr. Knightly" will be a very fortunate man indeed! Cheers!

@vmuzic Thats a really nice thing to read. I was single for 5 years, not having met any decent men, but am now with the love of my life. Been together 3 years. There are decent men out there.,

Thank you very much for sharing this story here. It was interesting to see 'Emma' brought on screen. But I couldn't really get used to Paltrow and Colette as Emma and Harriet. They did a nice job and tried what they could, but yet, somehow even after watching the entire movie, I still didn't manage to see them as Emma and Harriet. But yet, it was an enjoyable movie adaption of the book.

Sorry, Paltrow didn't try what she could, even in the interview to the question " Which research you did, what books you reed", she answered "nothing"( sorry I don't remember exact her words)

Gwenyth Paltrow is so completely terrible in this movie, it almost ruins it. Thank goodness that Jane Austen's creative skills still were intact or else this movie would have been unbearable.

yeah i totally agree about Paltrow , she sucked in this movie. so artificial
tanaquile1 2 years ago
have you ever read the book? Gwyneth Paltrow's character is of such qualities plus the naivety of a young lady who is brougt up with more resources than the rest of people who are part of her social entourage. I do think that Paltrow lacked tto diaplay hat innocence that Austen portrays so very delicately in her book.

I think 16 or 18. I haven't read the book in a while, but he is quite a bit older than her. But this was completely normal for the time.

She's twenty-two; she said it herself when she was thanking Mr. Knightley for rescuing Harriet. : )
arijanian 2 years ago
Emma is almost twenty-two (she says it herself in the course of the film), and Mr. Knightley claims to have been sixteen when she was born--ergo, he is now thirty-eight.
Fortunately, they both agree that the twenty-two intervening years of growth have narrowed the gap somewhat. : )
