I read the book and at this part I fell in love with him. I watched nearly every Emma version and every time this scene came up I immediately fell in love with Mr. Knightley all over again...
I always have to laugh when I see Frank Churchill dance. He looks so clumsy! At 1:51 he looks like he's about to stumble over his own feet xD
He's really overenthusiastic..
And of course, Mr. Knightley is the most amazing gentleman. O, how my heart swells every time I see him go over to Harriet to ask her to dance with him..
And at 6:40 I so love his face. He's like "F#%@*, busted! She figured out!"
I completely know how you feel. Every time i watch a jane auston film i want ever so badly to relive those long nights at the balls. I think we should definatly still attend them!!!!
^the absolutely PERFECT way to tell us she's expecting. Back then it wasn't proper to discuss such things, so she can't outright say it. But the audience still needs to know.
LOVE this version! My favorite Mrs. Weston by far!
i would marry Mr Knightley any day. Frank Churchill is far too immature and Emma with Mr Knightley is an adorable sight. Mrs Weston and Harriet are also lovely friends of Emma's.
This is a really cute scene. The interesting thing is how different this is from other dance scenes. They seem so much... less stately is what I guess I mean to say. In all the other Jane Austin adaptations the dancing is much more subdued. Except for the first dance in the newest P&P? I wonder which is more accurate. Anyways I'm loving this new Emma so far. Thanks for posting!!!!
I agree Mr. Knightley is getting yummier :) I love him. Unfortunately I can't upload the rest of this episode because I could only get snippets of it. I posted another clip though...if you type "emma bbc 2009" into google video though Episode 2 pops up...
oh, this version is winning me over little by little. do you think you could upload the rest of episode 2?! I'm waiting to watch the entire, I've only seen the episode 1 and I'm anxious to see the rest :)
@coklania I agree!!! He's perfection because he portrays him in a real way. The other Knightley's are too stiff. This one is just wonderful! He would make a very fine Colonel Brandon as well. Colonel Brandon and Mr. Knightley, imo, are very similar to each other. Both are very protective of the women they love, and their love for them is genuine and real. :)
@Spiceofmadrid This is true, but you must admit that in Jane Austen's novels all the characters act pretty stiff. I feel like the other Knightley is more true to the book, but I do admit that this one's more fun to watch.
@ohgoodjoy Yeah I just have some bias with JLM going on here lol, I felt that he was true to the book in some ways, and in some ways no. I just think it's about personal opinion and what you got from the book.
I think this is the best mr Knightley. YAY FOR JML
He's not too young-he was 37 wehen they recoreded this- MR KNIGHTLEY IS 37 and that isn't old actually, 37 is pretty young!
