  • I'm discovering that the version with Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller is ten times better!

  • Who knew that Kate would one day play one of the best vampires of all time?! The Underworld vampires are the only original/real vampires left!

  • i just saw tinker tailor soldier spy and Mark strong was AWESOME!!! he was intense, hot and did great acting!!

  • Look how young Kate was? She looked so plain and pale in this. Now she's one the hottest, sexist women in the world!!

  • 09:02.That´s how the rich want the poor to be! Humble and bowing so they can overlook them. Still so today. Funny what differences money makes between people. Dream your romantic dreams, but remember back then we were the bowing class with bended backs not the ones that were bowed to.

  • Katie sounds like Justine Waddell

  • Thank you!

  • Mark strong is so hot as mr.knightly

  • Stupid Eng147....

  • how can i watch dis movie without going through the process of making account n crdt card thing...plz telll me good site fr english movies plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • though kate beckinsale makes a great emma, i have to admit that the overall atmosphere of this adaptation is somewhat gloomy and depressing. its definitely not the funny and lighthearted piece that i've imagined it to be when i read the book. many of the characters are hilarious in the book and austen's usual dealings in poking fun of society are always amusing. but this version failed on that aspect. i think the 2009 version captured the easy going and uplifting tone much better than this one.

  • Geez! Is it just me or was all people thought of back then marriage? Think about other stuff also in life.

  • @TorynMarch Haha it was all the rich snobby people in the 19th century HAD to think of

  • @righteousgroove lol. ur right.

  • @TorynMarch back then if a girl didn't marry then she wouldn't have a chance of a decent living when her father died. women couldnt earn money or inherit :(

  • @thicketwings05 Oh that sucks

  • @thicketwings05 you are wrong. legally women could both inherit and earn money.

    emma in particular is rich and will inherit that is why she has no problem with not marrying.

    problem with other austen heroines is that they are relatively poor to begin with (mp, p, na). or that ppl have willed (s&s) or entailed (p&p) the property away from them.

    -

    as for earning money, while legal,it was socially unacceptable for women of this particular class to work

    but women of other classes did earn

  • I'm glad Jane Austen wrote novels. I've been watching her novel movies since "Pride and Prejudice"

  • Wow, look at the IMDB pics of Mark Strong and Andy Garcia, they looks SO MUCH ALIKE!!!! I thought they were the same person at first! Mark Strong is 6 years younger though.

  • how do you save a video onto your youtube account?

  • @tierraecho

    Click on to the arrow pointing down next to the "ADD TO " bar and you will see favourites that will take the video to your channel.

  • This emma seems much better than the 2009 version. The acting, or shall i say the choice of actors was terrible in that version.

  • This and Pride and Prejudice 1995 starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle are my favorite Period Dramas.

  • Is this the full episodes? with nothing missing or cut off? Anyone?

  • i love this one <3 for me It's the best adaption of emma

  • this is the best emma adaptation,,kate is perfect for the role

  • @babson80 Yes, you are right. I wish she could go back and so those types of roles. I mss her for that.

  • i have to say emma ismy least favorite jane austen, she seems such a stuck up what name

  • Kate Beckinsale is the perfect Emma! While other actresses have done a great job to make themselves "handsome, clever and rich", Kate has the mannerism and carriage that others lack. Romola Garai was somewhat gleeful, Gwyneth Paltrow disinterested! Kate was impeccable in her portrayal.

  • After watching this part... I crave a little bit of apple tart. :P

  • This is my favorite version of Emma. Dont like Paltrow

  • @emalisej Indeed! Austens dialogue seems to come natural to Beckinsale - and it's by no means easy. Paltrow over-acts terribly, with all her artifical 'oh dear!'s... :-)

  • @emalisej Indeed! Austens dialogue seems to come natural to Beckinsale - and it's by no means easy. And she's such a feisty Emma! Paltrow over-acts terribly, with all her artifical 'oh dear!'s... :-)

  • The girl who plays Harriet, also plays in a version of Jane Eyre, as Jane

  • i like the 2009 version better. this seem too old.

  • this mr.Knightley... definitely the worst !!! Yes to Jeremy Northam and Gwyneth Paltrow!!!

  • @EliskaLet You mean you don't like the looks of this Mr Knightley? Because as far as person, personality and portrayal goes, I found Mark Strong's as nearly flawless.

  • @RushTheSilver

    Exactly. I don´t like him. He may be good actor, but not handsome enough for Mr.Knightley :-) (At least if I were Emma :-D)

  • @EliskaLet Emma had a nice chance with a handsome acquaintance of hers, Mr Frank Churchill, but she chose the seven-or-eight and thirty year old Mr Knightley over that three-or-four and twenty year old Churchill. Anyway, how can you not like Mark Strong? He has a more manly voice and looks than either Northam or Miller. While Jeremy Northam was not unconvincing, Johnny Lee Miller was just miscast - I fear, because of his looks!

  • does this movie represent the book well? I switched into a Jane Austen class late in the semester and I don't have as much time to read all the books.

  • @RayanneJD read sparknotes.... emma is on there - itll take you a day or two - but it's extremely detailed summaries

  • Think this is the better version, don´t like the other ;-)

  • chicken thieves!!!!

  • ok, and mr.knightly asking after thomas' family at the very beginning - really sweet!

  • even though this isn't my favourite version, i am really glad they made it, cuz there are some things about this one that i just love that aren't in the others! thanks for sharing!

  • The star girl is REALLY pretty! In sense and senseibility the star girl was pretty, but compared to the man she fell in love with she was sooo plain...

  • I love this movie! :) Kate Beckinsale is so young here.

  • That's scary how I can remember that hymn from my childhood. It was one of the only catchy ones. XD

    Mark Strong plays an interesting Mr. Knightely. So far I like it, but I haven't seen any other version to compare.

  • @nerdishh the 2009 BBC adaption starring Romola Garai and Johnny Lee Miller is my favorite!

  • Jeremy Northam is really WONDERFUL as Mr Knightly. And I also like Gwenyth Paltrow as Emma the best, but I am biased because it is the first version I ever saw. But definately Jeremy Northam. You should watch the version with them in it. it was also made in 1996

  • I think Kate Beckinsale is the best Emma; she is more subtle and more genuine in conveying Emma's qualities and faults.

  • i think the movie Clueless was the best version of Emma

  • I don't think Kate was a good choice for Emma.

  • I am craving jane austen thank god youtube doesn't block these things!!!

  • I have always loved this film! So much! ♥ Definitely my favourite adaptation of Emma. I used to know it by heart when I was younger (I haven't tested myself for a while ;). But it's ITV, not BBC.

  • @rnbldsrnmsvlbl Oh, and I meant I haven't tested to see if I know it by heart for a while... Not very clear, that. LOL!

  • @rnbldsrnmsvlbl I meant CHECKED, not "tested" -- that's why it sounded so odd. Utterly confused. I'm sorry.

  • Now I am going to be realy childish; Mark strong<3333

  • @musiclistner94 I'm with ya! Mark Strong is such a hottie! ;)

  • @musiclistner94, that is the best form of childishness! Since I did the exact same thing as you did!

  • Best version of Emma. Thanks very much for posting. Far better than the Gweneth Paltrow version and even though I think Ramola Garai is great, I like this Emma best.

  • Thank you for posting this, I love this version of Emma^^
