The set seemed a bit tacky (2009 BBC Emma had much more convincing sets, and a better dance scene), and the story is a bit messed up, but, ultimately, loved the story of Edmund and Fanny. I like JLM's Mr. Knightley more, but this was very enjoyable.
I love this version, I heard it somewhere that this movie's set design was terrible, and so it is. But the acting is so wonderful I forget that detail while I watch it. Also as a sidenote, I love the little detail of the ink on Fanny's fingers... :)
get outta here,"fanny, ive loved u all my life", smh yet wrote 2 her, about ms. crawford confessing, "he couldnt imagine any other woman being his wife" horse shit. i wonder, had the crawford chick not exposed herself, would he have realized,"how much hes been IN love w/ fanny?" but, whatever, be happy fanny.
@1:12 aaaah, ms. crawfords walk of shame. 1st fanny, now her. LMAO, most of the main characters in this movie were skanky as shit, hidden behind the veil of high society, either thru word, deed or lack character LOL
@yellowcabby1 never heard the phrase 'kissing cousins'? it happened then, and it probably happens somewhere now. gotta keep those bloodlines pure. lol
I'm so glad I watched this version of Mansfield Park and Emma or else i would have gone my whole life not liking JLM because of Dexter!!! I love him so much!!<3
@cellomad1 that happened a lot in those days especially in the upper classes. It happened so much within the royals that, that is most likely the reason for so much war in Europe. Insanity to a degree is usually the most common side effect from inbreeding usually producing a form of sociopath. I think that's why royals of today are not so concerned with royal lineage, new genetics needing to be introduced to their lines.
It is very sweet that Edmund (at 7:00, although not clear in this clip) actually shed tears when he kissed Fanny. Writer/director Rozema took liberty in adapting JA's novel to film. The best part, I think, is her reinterpretation of Edmund's affection toward Fanny.
unbelievable! this is the fourth jane austen movie that i've watched, the third book that i've read and the very first one to make me cry! edmund's speech = <3
@Maksimfan he looks so fake when he acts. When I see him, I don't feel he's Edmund, all I can see is an actor who tries to look like the character he's supposed to play but doesn't succeed.
It kills me. IF Fanny had married her brother and had regular sex, he wouldn't have gone after a married woman so it's Fanny's fault. She's ruined and she wants to use all these people, who she thinks are so stupid, to possibly get him back into polite society no matter what he's done. Her immoral bro' comes first. She's the angry one who is blaming an innocent unlike herself OR her lousy brother! What a horrible, user of a woman. When she attacked Fanny that was it. He finally woke up! Hey!
@maruree I do like the father's bit after that. Men weren't known for speaking of their feelings to their children but I think, Tom in his unconscience state, for the first time knew his father loved him. That even as a child his father knew he exhsister and it was the turning point of his illness. People in a coma can hear, which has been proven. His father might have been a lousy person but he's now trying. He's changed so good for him.
I enjoyed the movie Mansfield Park. I do think that after reading the comments here in comparing the Jane Austen novels to these adaptations moviewise that I should get the books for the Austen novels and read them first...but then of course, I might not want to see the movie adaptations at all after reading the Jane Austen novels! (-: Thanks for sharing the download. I do think that the acting was very good characteristically speaking.
I flipping love this movie. Who cares if it's not ture to the book, it's supposed to be experimental and different. I think it turned out beautifully! A wonderful adaptation! The casting was brilliant as well, major love for Jonny Lee Miller!
@aussiegirlnz morality is reversed in a few ways. Back then, people were thrilled to have their teenage daughters marry men twice their age. In this day and age, those men would go to jail. Certainly men like Willoughby and Wickam would been charged as pediphiles (sp?).
Can't believe I sat through this awful movie! Is this what is called an "adaptation"? Even though the book is so very "unromantic" in many ways, I rather have the book than put myself through the misery of watching this insipid movie again!
Miller is that guys last name huh? Now he has played two different main characters in jane austen adaptions. Both Mr. Knigtley and Edmund Bertrum. lol :P
@carboneyeful ... Johnny Lee Miller has indeed played both parts.. And very well too.. But they are 10 years apart, so when he steps into Knightley's shoes he is more mature and still vvery gorgeous too... But the young man who played Mr Elliot in the 2009 version has also played Edmund Bertrum too.. His version was in 2009... We are obviously spoiled for talented actors in period dramas over here in the UK I think.. I love them all... Regards from WALES UK :0)x
I love the way Edmund's voice catches, falters and almost disappears, as he speaks of his love for Fanny... Oh what raptures and flutterings in my heart, this is truly lovely....*sighs and watches again* :0)x
@MurphysDune It could be because he is British and, in movies, they tend to look like they are in constant pain. Or it could be because he's KISSING HIS COUSIN :D
"All these has most grievously convinced me that the person i've been too apt to dwell on for many months past has been a creature of my own imagination.
Not you Ms. Crawford. You are a stranger to me. I do not know you and I am sorry to say I have no wish to!" gosh Edmund delivered it so well that its stuck in my mind...FTW!..^^
A point of trivia that I think is interesting, the two Crawford characters were both played by Americans ... Wouldn't even have guessed, they pulled it off so well!
While JLM is very attractive in this movie as Edmund...he looks even better now and found a much more fitting role as Mr. Knightley in last year's Emma!....and the kiss at the end is nowhere near this awkward. lol.
Haha the bit where Henry Crawford's (very, very good looking actor) wife and his sisters husband looked at eachother... briliant :-) Just what he deserves a wife who cheats on him and will maybe even, give birth to her lovers child without her husband knowing
LOL! I love Jonny Lee Miller in almost everything, and even in this for the most part I like his Edmund - but in this scene and the proposal scene his voice seems so... weak? Shaky? He sounds like a crybaby, and sounds kind of whiny. (Which is kind of how I see the Edmund of the book) I totally understand what you mean about Mr Collins, LOL, although I never thought of it like that before...
well, mostly it means marrying one person, and dating another on the side, and "having relations" with both of them (but usually, i assume, at different times)
cheerfully planning parties with his money? you shush my father like a dog at your table! you attack fanny for following her own infallible guide about manners of the heart!
i do not know you, and i'm sorry to say, i have no wish to!
Marriage between first cousins is legal and socially acceptable in all western countries (Europe, Canada and Australia). Only the US has restrictions on cousins marrying.
I've lived in France, the UK and Belgium for a number of years and have never met anyone who considers this to be scandalous. In the past, there were fears that children would be at risk of genetic anormalities, however this has changed with the progres of genetic screening.
oooookayy all you men of standard and excellent upbringing stand up and cheer for that speech! Edmund just OWNED Mary Crawford! he finally had the shackels removed from his eyes and has seen the light!
I don't know I guess in comparison with characters such as Darcy and Knightly, well he does seem wavering, but I think of him more as blind than weak. As said in the movie of Pride and Prejudice "We are all fools in love" Not everyone can see as clearly as Fanny. Just because he couldn't see what was right in front of him...I don't think that makes him weak.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
he loved her all his life...as a man loves a woman, yeah right! and Fanny's actions weren't too noble either here. She did toy and play with poor Henry's feelings. And Mary stated what she thought would help save the family. I guess I don't see why they were so upset with her for stating the truth of the situation. I still prefer P&P and Persuasion.
Edmund really did love Fanny his whole life. He just didn't realize it. This can happen. Read/watch Emma. She didn't realize she loved Mr. Knightley all along until the end, but I don't think that made her love for him any less beautiful. As for not understanding why they're mad at Mary, she was not trying to do what was best for the family. She was thinking only of herself. How extremely cold can you be to rejoice and make happy plans about the hopeful soon to be death of someone. Mary is low!
oh god.. so ur the mary of today then? justifying her actions are we? what she thought was all about her..she had started spending money she didn't have in her mind and thought of a way to somehow try and patch up the family's reputation which would "of course" be her family.and there is no such thing as too noble.
The set seemed a bit tacky (2009 BBC Emma had much more convincing sets, and a better dance scene), and the story is a bit messed up, but, ultimately, loved the story of Edmund and Fanny. I like JLM's Mr. Knightley more, but this was very enjoyable.

Have you seen the new Northanger Abbey? I think the kiss between Henry and Catherine beats this one in the awkward stakes! ;)

Catherine and Henry in the most recent adaptation of Northanger Abbey could give them a run for their money.

i find Edmund to be the weakest of all the Austen men

I don't know I guess in comparison with characters such as Darcy and Knightly, well he does seem wavering, but I think of him more as blind than weak. As said in the movie of Pride and Prejudice "We are all fools in love" Not everyone can see as clearly as Fanny. Just because he couldn't see what was right in front of him...I don't think that makes him weak.

I would have loved to see"Fanny" play "Anne Elliot" in Persuasion. I think Frances O'Connor is such a good actress

he loved her all his life...as a man loves a woman, yeah right! and Fanny's actions weren't too noble either here. She did toy and play with poor Henry's feelings. And Mary stated what she thought would help save the family. I guess I don't see why they were so upset with her for stating the truth of the situation. I still prefer P&P and Persuasion.

Edmund really did love Fanny his whole life. He just didn't realize it. This can happen. Read/watch Emma. She didn't realize she loved Mr. Knightley all along until the end, but I don't think that made her love for him any less beautiful. As for not understanding why they're mad at Mary, she was not trying to do what was best for the family. She was thinking only of herself. How extremely cold can you be to rejoice and make happy plans about the hopeful soon to be death of someone. Mary is low!

oh god.. so ur the mary of today then? justifying her actions are we? what she thought was all about her..she had started spending money she didn't have in her mind and thought of a way to somehow try and patch up the family's reputation which would "of course" be her family.and there is no such thing as too noble.
