  • lol wow, what is up w/ eddies lips? just come on outta the closet babe.....its alright. lol/xxxd

  • I love when Edmund comes to get her and they ride back together in the carriage. So much love going unspoken. I tear up everytime.

  • "I have no talent for certainty Suzy." Luv that line. :)

  • @amorineTV got a problem with orange? lol just kidding. Yeah, why ARE his lips orange? it's weird.

  • seriously

  • awww i cant believe she left her sister!!!

  • Even when Henry is being sweet, he still grates on my nerves.....:/

  • I don't really understand her, at least she could try!!

  • run mad as often as you choose but do not faint!

  • 5:50 haha, he wants it!

  • O.M.G. Edmund is perfect. Perfect. I can't even...ahhh, marry me!!!

  • Ah! Edmund's lips are distractingly red. What was he just doing? Sucking someone's blood?

  • @planetlychee probably angelina jolie's, i heard those two were married at the time- it's something they seem like they would be into anyway haha

  • After THAT reaction, she should be glad that she said no. Wow. Talk about angry.

  • in jane austen movies two people holding hands is like they were kissing or having sex... you know i would love to see someone to put so much feelings to hold somebodys hand nowaday... wouldnt it be nice? :)

  • i love how she looks up when his head falls on her chest

  • She's an idiot. I love Henry.

  • susie is beautiful

  • I was starting to quite like Henry... I thought that he did change. But then Edmund shows up, and I just fall in love with him again. The whole scene in the carriage made me cry a lot, I thought it was just beautiful... <3

    I love Edmund... *sigh*

  • Comment removed

  • People keep saying Henry is hot? Why?

  • oh my god, this Henry broke my heart. oh my God.

    but still....still, I must think....I think....I like Edmund more....?

    it's just, Henry was so cute and so in love! woah! very...fancy haha.

    but Edmund, Edmund will always be Fanny's (:

  • @kanelletenshi that's exactly how I feel:)

  • Is edmund wearing lipstick at 3:11????

  • fanny needs a slap in the face. she is pissing me off

  • @fleurgi I'm wondering if you've read the book at all. If you have, then I'm surprised you could be anything but happy she's treating Mr. Crawford this way in her confusion. He's a piece of scum. Granted they make him look nicer in the movie than he is in the book.

  • @IrishEyes0812 no i haven't but in reading some of the comments i gathered as much that he was portrayed much nicer in the movie

  • if only people would take marriage as seriously now. half the people i know are divorcee's - my parents included. people shouldnt rush these things..

  • they made henry wayyy too attractive and nice in this....

  • Here Edmund much easily forgot Mary but back there in book he was acting as a lovelorn idiot and at a point it irritated me.

  • I have theory that Tom just had a really bad hangover lol

  • I love how, when Henry is coming through the door, the first thing you see are the daisies

  • OMG. That was sooo mean of Fanny :O To say yes then no. Henry was being so nice too . . . . .

  • What a fussy, awkward nincompoop she is.

  • yes and then no?

    no i understand

    but yes and then no, thats just mean

  • @tanan18 I thought she had only dreampt she said yes

  • what no she is so wrong you better marry that man you said yes you should marry him.

  • Henry is charming and sweet and handsome but he is inconstant and immoral. Fanny is much too sensible and simple to hold his interest forever. She knows this and herself while Henry Crawford does not.

  • i hate the ending cant she marry henry?

  • what a b*tch!

  • This accepting a proposal and calling it off the next day - isn't that what Jane Austen did herself? I think the fellow's name was Harris Bigg-Wither. I sort of like what they did here, mixing Miss Austen's life into the story and thus providing Henry with a reason to act the way he will. I think it also makes him look nicer - in the book he's just inconstant.

  • what a skank!! she totally led him on!

  • Henry is great now, and as adorable as he is, eventually he might have cheated on her, gotten bored of her saintly and low key character, at least I think so. Edmund loves Fanny it's just hard for him to stop seeing her as a sister and see her as a woman, after all they grew up together. If Henry had loved her he would have remained persistent in keeping good moral character, if he had really changed, not fallen in to bed with a married woman he didn't care for just because he felt disappointed.

  • @rosemsmunoz jane austen once wrote that if henry was more patient then fanny would've probably chosen him. then in marriage she would've changed him. too bad he didn't have the patience. when people are hurt they do really stupid things they later regret. i like this crawford much better than the novel.

  • ok so he flirted with a few girls. I still like him better than Edmund. Edmund likes flashy women. Even a rich spoiled boy saw and fell in love with Fanny almost immediately. Edmund has known her for years. Grr. . . I like Henry.

  • i was never able to know if Henry really loved Fanny or if he loved the idea of Fanny. I hate not knowing and everyone has their own interpretation. I want to think he loved her but I don't know.

  • Never trust charming men... They never turn out to be likable people. :-/

  • Oh, that I were Fanny Price in that carriage.....

  • Starting to hate you edmond dont care how hot u are open ur stupif hot eyes! Poor henri

  • oh, come on people... fanny in the book was an utterly boring person, it´s a good thing they let her have some sparkle in the movie! she´s not a bitch, she´s just torn between her feelings and the social pressures (see what her mom told her about marriage, now that was hard to ignore) like we all would be in such an era, so let´s not judge :) she makes the right choice in the end, doesn t she?

    love the carriage scene, by the way :D

  • @TarAncalyme She may have been boring to you but that was the character as written. It defines who she was and that is important to the story. Making dramatic changes to a major character in this way alters the whole of the story. It is not that Fanny actually makes the right choice but more the fact that Henry and Mariahs behavior had results that benefited her in the end. Had it not been for the impropriaty of Henry and Mariah her and edmound would have never gotten together.

  • @TarAncalyme Fanny would have most certainly condemed herself to a life of poverty and ruined any chance her family coming up in life had it not been for Toms unfortunate circumstance coupled with Henry and Mariahs indescretion. She was fortunate that things worked to her benefit. It did not work out so well for most young women in her situation at that time.

  • Good cut

  • Men always say they will wait until you're ready but they don't. They get bored and angry and move on. Yet really -- having a choice between near certain poverty, going against one's family and the surety of great wealth with the benefit of helping your family, there were and are few woman would have not jumped at Mr. Crawford's proposal.

  • Men always say they will wait until you're ready, they'll do anything to make it right but they don't. They get bored and angry and move on.

  • lol he was lying on her boob xD already a couple

  • oh fanny, you silly girl! 

  • oh fanny, you silly girl!

  • that didnt"t happen!!! Ugh!! I'm so let down right now! She didn't say yes and then retract!! She said "keep trying" (more or less) and he said he would and then screwed her over as she was beginning to come around. And Susan went with Fanny to Mansfield.

  • Hm. Ultimatelt, Fanny is a fickle character, she speaks too quickly. But Mr Crawford was turbulent to her... her apology could have been a little more sincere, though. She could have atleast asked him to sit down...

  • There are so many GREAT moments in this movie. In fact, this whole movie is just a compilation of great moments. Which is why it's one of my favorites.

  • i feel so sorry for mr crawford but then again i dont feel sorry for him because he cant take rejection and he turned bitter at once

  • i feel so sorry for mr crawford

  • OK, Fanny doesn't go back until after Maria elopes with Crawford (her father reads the account of the "matrimonial fracas", Susan goes with her, and Fanny NEVER, NEVER, NEVER changes her mind about Crawford.

    Rozema simply sucks at this movie. She's tried to make Austen relevant, to improve on a great English novelist. Using conspicuous, gratuitous, sexuality does not improve on Austen, nor does inventing a storyline on slavery Austen did not intend. Ick.

  • @RevWarRev "a storyline on slavery Austen did not intend". What do you mean? The facts are there: The Bertrams had an estate in the West Indies and everybody knew how those estates were run.

  • "Surely you and i are beyond speaking when words are clearly not enough... I've missed you."

    *faint*

    I LOVE EDMUND. SO MUCH.

  • Baby crying around 2:14 is used in every...freaking...movie...tv show...whatever with a baby. They really need to get a new baby cry!

  • She looked like she was gonna die when he took her hand lol

  • Toms hotter in this version lol

  • i dont know if this is true to the book..as i have not read it..however...i just love it..the whole production is wonderful to me...thanks for posting

  • You can simply feel the fluttering in her heart when he finally takes her hand. oh!

  • @alannaallen i know ...oooooo..sigh

  • This scene makes an illusion that Fanny isn't a likable character but if one is to analyze her reasoning: She has pressure of marrying with choice being specifically Mr. Crawford. He has amiable qualities. With pressure, she accepts. After fully evaluating the situation: the obvious elephant in the room is: Crawford with his charms and handsome figure, is not an obvious suitor for a person such as Fanny..she is of high maintenance, I believe.

  • i dont like fanny any more..

  • was is common to fall in love with first cousins back then????!!

  • @freshglance Believe it or not- yep! Well, not very common but it did happen and was viewed as perfectly respectable. In fact reference is made to marriage between cousins in most of Austens' works which indicates that it wasn't unusual.

  • @freshglance i believe it was.

  • I would probally enter in the same way with flowers as he did, hope not be hit with the same answer. hello from Mexico. Alex

  • Edmund's lips are very orange. :P

  • Comment removed

  • Edmund is such a perplexing character, I can see why Fanny was so torn in her decision making...at times he seems the perfect charming gentleman, but at other times you can see bits of his true nature shine through.

  • Oh, and I would have loved to see Edmund's face waking up to Fanny's bosom :)

  • I thought that last bit was a dream...and then I found out in this clip that it wasn't...That was probably the worst scene not in a book, but adapted into the movie...the worst. And JLM is perfect and they ruined a scene with him in it...Badly done, badly done indeed!

  • Ok, this just makes Fanny look like a coquettish, selfish cow. She NEVER accepted Henry then relinquished her acceptance. I honestly cannot believe they completely ruined her character. Now she's just a total bitch.

  • @urbanr0cker More than that-she wouldn't have been allowed to relinquish her acceptance of Crawford- it would have been socially unacceptable for someone in her position. As I'm sure you know, her uncle was really cross with her fro refusing him in the book and that was because it also socially unacceptable for someone like Fanny, dependent on her relatives, to refuse any suitor,

  • she's a bitch

  • edmund looks like he has been making a meal of someones blood at the beginning of this scene.

  • COUSINS.  really? REALLY?

  • henry crawford is so much better than edmund.

  • I really dislike this movie adaptation. Fanny was never coy or indecisive like she is here. She never ever accepted Crawford's proposal or led him on in any way.

  • the opening says it was based on the novel, early manuscripts and letters.

  • I sorry this might sound snobbish of me, but daisies. That is hardly romantic.

  • So much for waiting, like Crawford said in part 12.

  • henry's gone a bit ott on the benetint!

  • I hate up heaving scenes, especially when they sound really, really, horribly real sounding...:(

  • Everyone is saying that this isn't quite like the book but one of the captions at the beginning said that this film is based on the book 'Mansfield Park' AND Jane Austen's personal journals and letters.

  • @muffin818 yes and this is a part based off of Jane's life she actually did accept a marriage proposal then change her mind the next day

  • i love how in those days you had to be very modest and conservative about dealing with the opposite sex... but their dresses reveal almost everything up top.

  • I love how when Fanny puts her hand next to Edmund's his face shows no reaction but then the camera zooms in on his hand taking hers.

  • in the book she never accepts him. she knows that he is too inconstant, that she only intrigues him because she did not instantly fall for him. he started courting fanny after he made a bet with mary he could make her fall in love with him. later, austen makes you think he really comes to care for fanny, but his character is too vain and corrupted. she may have married him if edward had married mary, but she knows she would have been miserable and he would have lost interest in her.

    ~lAUra

  • @bryarerose I think you mean Edmund, not Edward ;)

    But you make a very good point though.

  • @EvaSaysYAY argh! you're right! lol. the whole time i was reading the book i kept calling him the wrong name in my head too. :)

    ~lAUra

  • it would have been cool if Henry and the other sister fell in love!

  • damn cruel, i dont care who you are thats mean one day saying, " i will marry you" and the next day "i cannot marry you" 

  • I always thought that henry truly does love her, and then the one time he was serious in about fanny he got played around (because what fanny does is actually really cruel he returns to his old ways. That way he doesn't get hurt.

  • why are his lips hella red at 3:20?

    i swear if i didn't know any better i would hav thought that he had an icee before they started filming...:)

  • The way he said "I missed you." Just... wow

  • Edmund's mouth looks like he just ate some cheetos

  • @LeahRT I've always thought that too.

  • LOL - Fanny's face when Edmund's head falls to her breast. The first thing I thought was, "OMG, All the dirty thoughts she must be trying to get out of her head staring at that ceiling." XD

  • What the hell did they do to the book... -_-

  • i wonder... if fanny hadn't rejected him, if they had married, is it possible he might have changed? maybe he got into that whole mess with maria afterwards cos fanny utterly crushed him with her sudden yes and then her sudden no?

  • wait so she actually accepted him and then rejected him? or was it just a dream?

  • Argh, stupid women make me angry even though it's only a movie and a book.

  • da**** it fanny. is henry bad or something dang it i'll juust have to watch the other parts...it was kind of mean though saying yes, he was sooo ecstatic then turning around and telling him no

  • woww...thats messed up! saying yes and than saying no. I bet he felt stupid. BUT after reading some of your comments, I'm guessing Henry is a bad person...? So I guess he deserved that...

  • @njslatinbxtch if u just watch the 2007 version it will show more of his real characteristics and you will see y he is untrustworthy.

  • I love this movie, but it is still gross. They are first cousins!!!!

  • In the book, she took Susan to Mansfield Park with her. It consoled Mrs. Bertram to the loss of Fanny when she married Edmund. The omission is annoying her. Then again, they cut poor William out of this version entirely so perhaps I shouldn't wonder at it.

  • she hurt him...he probably had trust issues as well and her lack of trust in him was probably a big blow. Poor Crawford

  • @Strangefruity Crawford was a Pig. A CUTE ONE. But a pig nonetheless.

  • When he put his hand in hers it was out of kinship-love.When he fell asleep on her breast she was hurting so bad, hers was the great love of a woman to a man. Though a man can feel the same in that situation.

  • Having Fanny accept, then reject, Crawford's offer of marriage completely changes his character. In the book when he "dallied" with Mariah after her marriage, we completely understood that it was part of his character. With this happening, I now feel some doubt as to whether he WOULD have been faithful to Fanny, and whether his dalliance with Mariah was a direct result of Fanny's treatment of him.

  • But as i remembered from the book, Austen never wrote of Fanny accepting and rejecting Henry's offer. She just never accepted him even if her feelings softened a little bit...for a while.

  • Crawford is a babe. Just saying. I think he's adorable.

  • The scene in the carriage is adorable.

  • the scene in the car is soooooooo touching! I love jonny lee miller ;)

  • @holehole How can you not love him, he is sooo sweet! I love his eyes.

  • "i missed you.."

    So sweet!

  • The main point is not (as for me) when he holds her hand, but it´s the emotion in his face when he says his tender "hushshh!" ....uaaah!

  • I actually feel so sorry for Henry. He seems so hurt by her refusal but he is being unreasonable by storming away. He has to understand that his former flirtations can judge his future performance as a husband. I don't blame Fanny for her refusal but I can't help sympathizing with him.

    I find a lot of the characters here are very familiar. Franny's sister is Beth from Moonlight and Mary Crawford is Ms. Honey from Matilda.But Henry also seems very familiar but I don't know.

  • ARG!!!! Why cant Edmand just marry her!!!! They love each other, its so clear!!

  • ooo 5:29- we've all felt that feeling lol

  • lol awkward the way he fell asleep on her :P

  • actually i loved the 2007 persuason. It has soo much sexual tension in it. It's a must see.

  • I'm sorry. Is Fanny a nurse? Why would Edmund come to bring her back to Mansfield. As I recall, Thomas never really interacted with Fanny, so I don't get the direct connection.

  • it's not that she's a nurse, it's that she has the most caring and gentle temper of anyone @ Mansfield (well in the book anyway).

  • @chiteach2 I'm guessing it was because Fanny is practically family to them, so they wanted her to be there in case Thomas died.

  • I thought it was because Lady Bertram relied on Fanny for support ... but I haven't read the book yet so I could be wrong.

  • @chiteach2 seems like the housekeeper is her mother's sister, i think

  • at 2:15 i hear baby kate from Arthur cry

  • you can't help but feel for both of them ... Henry because of the whole way the propsal went , he ust have love her to have taken it so badly ... and fanny due to her utter confusion she as eelings for Henry however she also has feelings stll fo Edmund and her new living situation ...everything is chaning for her and it must be a scary time ... she might ot be ready for marriage as she said

  • sorry my key board is sticking .... the words are ust = must ... eelings = feelings ... stll = still ... fo = for ... chaning = changing .... ot = not ... you prob would have orked it out but just in case

  • How could you not feel for poor Henry... i think he truly loved her!

  • Poor Henry! He really was smitten with her.

  • I like this fanny way more than on the newer version... Someone tell me is Persuasion better than this or not ?

  • @addielu2010 Persuasions is the best... wow its is a must read! and the 2007 version is really good!!

  • ... Poor Henry.....

  • This movie is such a work of art! The scenery, the costumes, the music, the characters. *Sigh*

  • very, very good movie!!!!!!!!
