  • she should merry henry,he's so handsome :)

  • Its hard not to like this Crawford because he is really!!!! handsome... And I think Fanny is a cute little doll besides well her teeth... I'm sorry it had to be said she is still a beauty

  • how her uncle closes the door so slowly XD

  • ooh, Fanny so should've gone for Henry!

  • i don't know why....but every time they say leutenent, i hear left tenant.

  • @vivimaze It's the english way to pronounce the word, so, your ears haven't betrayed you.

  • hahahaha 0:27 Edmund stares at Fannys breasts before talking to her.

  • I bet Fanny felt like she had to wash off her hand after he kissed it....

  • i need help understanding when henry propses to fanny. Is he just playing with her feelings or is he really actually in love with her? In the 1999 version henry actually looks and acts like he is in love with her but in this one he could just be playing wwith her feelings, it is so much harder to read him. It is too confusing for me

  • @stfunoob15 In the book, he really falls in love with her. In this movie he just want to play with her feelings. :s

  • @stfunoob15 He really did fall in love with her, but screwed it up in the end and regretted it pretty much as soon as he'd run off with Maria. That's in the book. ;)

  • @stfunoob15 In the 1999 version, he could be construed as being in love, but also, Henry & Mary are a lot more... "modern" in that version than in this one. (I haven't read the book, so I can't compare.) Their characterizations are quite different between the movies, but I think it would be safe to say that he did like her, but not enough to try very hard in the 1999 version.

  • @stfunoob15 Well, it seems too much if he were playing, I mean apparently he has told Fanny's uncle about his intentions of proposing to her, and if it were all jus a game, why would he propose?? it just doesn't make any sense to me.

    I think he really did like Fanny

  • Ohhhh touchy feely! Why does he keep on touching her hands? Does her have a hand fetish?

  • I like his eyes :)

  • this is the most romantic thing ever..wow!!

  • It would have been amazing if Fanny fell for Henry and then told everyone in the house off! I would have done it.

  • Look that one lady is also playing in shameless as Fanny

  • This is one of the worst adaptations of a Jane Austen novel I have ever seen. The costumes are all wrong, Fanny's hair is ridiculous and if you read the novel Fanny is a very reserved almost prudish character, not some buxom blond running around with a dress cut down to there. This looks more like Tom Jones than Mansfield Park.

  • @brenears Could not agree more! 

  • @brenears I personally think the 1999 is worse

  • @brenears I've never seen a version of Mansfield Park that made Fanny sufficiently rerserved as Jane Austen wrote her. That being said, this is an adaptation, very rarely is a film made that suits all the points of its novel.

  • @aDieuSeul Have you seen the version from the 80s? The BBC did a bunch of classics at the time, and while they look rather more like filmed theater productions than films, I think they're wonderful, and quite faithful to the originals.

  • @beckzorz No, I haven't but I'll be sure to check them out, thanks for the suggestion!

  • @brenears why are the costumes "wrong?" these outfits were the norm back in the early 19th century O.o

  • This is one of the worst adaptations of a Jane Austen novel I have ever see. The costumes are all wrong, Fanny's hair is ridiculous and if you read the novel Fanny is a very reserved almost prudish character, not some buxom blond running around with a dress cut down to there. This looks more like Tom Jones than Mansfield Park.

  • Henry Crawford just wants some poon.

  • @MrJustina1 when did Adrien Brody ever play edmund? isn't Blake Ritson playing edmund here?

  • I was watching this on a DVD from Netflix and it stopped playing at this point. Although I know the story very well (Austen is my favorite) I can't just skip a big chunk of a movie. So what did I do? I looked on YouTube and yet again it has saved the day. Thanks for posting this! And thank god for YouTube. I appreciate it very much. :D

  • This Henry is okaay looking, but the one in the 1999 version is soooo much hotter!

  • @221Verona YES

  • "are we not made for one another?"

    Hahahahahaha

    He said the same thing to Mariah

  • why is her hair always messy? i would think they would have her put it up.

  • How awesome would it have been if Aunt Norris burst in to find Henry waiting to propose?

  • Mr. Crawford has gorgeous eyes!

  • @singertobe13 right! absolutely gorgeous

  • @singertobe13

    I prefer Blake Ritson's eyes, they're the prettiest thing in the world. I'm so in love ♥

  • This is not at all how Fanny Price was described on the book, still, the relationship between Mrs. Berthram and Fanny is faithfully shown. Also Crawford's character is well executed too!

    P.S. There is something really wrong about Fanny's tooth.

  • Comment removed

  • Fanny is smart. It would have been so easy 2 accept Crawfords hand and please everyone besides herself, but instead she holds on 2 what she knows is true, even though she has little chance of winning it. And brave because she has hope and she sticks 2 it through every hardship when Edmund continuously ignores her and vexes her with his blindness, but in the end she recieves what she deserves and it proves that those who wait will be rewarded.

  • Umm....someone forgot to dye Fanny's eyebrows to match her hair.

  • i actually feel bad for henry crawford. he really learns to love fanny. and in the book austen even writes that if he had be good and loyal, his prize would have been fanny. instead he ran away with mariah. losing fanny forever.

  • @babegia Lol, you're supposed to write "SPOILER ALERT" before you give away stuff like that in the middle of a movie.

  • @smilesatyourfuneral lol, i'm i? my bad, i always just asume everyone knows what i know, my big bad.

  • sir thomas is wrong in asking her why she did not chose mr crawford...poor girl

  • @Edwardlover222 yeah, crawford's completely brainless...

  • the way he reacted when she said she didnt like him is what his eldest daughter was afraid would be his reaction if she told him she didnt want to marry him

  • I have to add my two bits about how i REEEALLY dislike the frouzy hair tossing; it distracts my attention from the story. Also, it just doesn't seem to fit the setting...or something...

  • oh shes pretty alright! she might not be the regular stunning glam doll but shes pretty in her own way.and shes quite good here as fanny,portraying her innocence and simplicity with an ease.and her smile is charming.

  • I don't understand why she doesn't trust Mr.Crawford, because he liked other girl first, but then Edmond also liked another girl, but it doesn't stop Fanny. I guess the whole reason was she loved Edmond all the time ? I didn't read the book, perhaps I should, I like the idea of the movie, Fanny doesn't fit the role, her hair distracts me so much.

  • @katherine0584 I guess because Edmond displays his affection for Miss Crawford and only her at the time, untill he finds her a lier, but Mr. Crawford is a pig that goes after any young lady in a skirt, but I do belive he did fall for Fanny a little because she is honest and good and he is not and wants to claim the one virtue which is not in his being, and she resist him, nothing drives a man who thinks he can have anyone more insaine than the one he can't have.

  • @katherine0584 : You've nearly got it. Yes she was in love with Edmund the whole time, but no it wasn't just that Crawford liked another girl first. Fanny knew from him flirting with BOTH her cousins at once that he wasn't to be trusted. And they don't go into it in this movie, but in the book she know that he flirted with every pretty girl he saw just for fun. And in the 1800s that was REALLY bad! Does that clarify it?

  • when sir thomas closed the door it squeaked " uuuuuuh-oooh"

  • @Edwardlover222 Truthfully the people of the movie didn't give you all the information. He does come to truthfully love Fanny but its over a manner of several months and Fanny doesn't love him because of everything that she saw him do with Mariah. Don't worry they just don't explain it well. Also he can't win Fanny's heart because she can't trust him she has no reason to and well he definately proves he is an idiot.

  • @29belarus Ah, okay. I haven't read the book and I sometimes the movies don't tell all as they should.

  • So, Mr. Crawford truly falls in love with Fanny? Or is he after something else?

  • I love just how normal she looks, her teeth are crooked, but so what? She's gorgeous.

  • My dear Fanny, you have the largest teeth I have ever had the misfortune of meeting. I wish for us to be better strangers.

  • Billie is very uniquely pretty, but it bothers me to no end that her eyebrows aren't the same color as her hair. lol that is the only fault I can find in her ; )

  • @germangirl4017 I agree with you. It doesn't take much to lighten eyebrows.

  • her teeth are not so bad when she smiles, but when she isn't smiling they are a bit large. her hair is mostly wat makes her pretty. i like how she has blond hair and brown eyes

  • You know, I think her overbite is kinda cute.

  • Why is everyone being so cruel to Billie Piper (Fanny)?

    I think she is very interesting looking and like her big smile. haha.

    I agree with you EleganceInClosure.

  • @beaniec9 It gives her character. The thing I love about Billie she's not perfect, and she doesn't do anything to hide her imperfection. And besides, they suit her face well.

  • how strong-willed would you have to be to withstand the charms of henry crawford...i sure as hell wouldn't be able to do it

  • I'm a little lukewarm about thier choice of Fanny.

  • I love mens who knows stars. It is so romantic!

  • Was Henry's love for Fanny sincere?

  • @ChristandI45 No I do not think so.

  • @ChristandI45 he starts out insincere, but ends up really falling in love with her

  • @lyss222 But does he fall in love with her or, in fact, fall in love with the way she won't fall for him? Is it the challenge or the person?

  • @paperterrorist at first he loves the challenge, but he really ends up falling in love with Fanny the person

  • im sorry, i know it was totally accepted in the 18th century, but her liking her cousin still kind of weirds me out.

  • I'll have to read the book to see how Fanny is presented there. In another the loner BBC film adaptation now on Hulu Fanny is quite literate, a Jane Austinian type--articulate, well-read and a want to be writer.

  • @Lunawhynot In the book, Fanny is quiet, shy, reserved, and spends most of her time observing the people around her. The reason why she rode with Edmund in the mornings was to try to build up her strength because she was easily exhausted, I think. (It's been a while since I read it.) What they did in the other version (95?) is basically hollowed out Fanny's character and stuffed Jane Austen's character into her...

  • Sorry, '99..

  • @nezugiri Yes, I see that now that you mentioned it about how they "hollowed out Fanny's character and stuffed Jane Austen's character into her..."

    I've since read the book and a book about Jane Austen herself since posting last

  • I gave this version a try and well its ok... But hands down the 1999 version was ALOT better.

  • lol. I like the verision from '99 more.

  • Crawford is hawt! Why could she not accept? lol, I know I would.

  • Who is the actor playing Edmund? I know I've seen him before somewhere, but I just can't place him...it's killing me!!

  • @r8p6 - If you've seen the 2009 version of Emma With Romola and Johnny Lee Miller then you've seen this Edmund. He played Mr. Eilliot. If you haven't seen that one...then I have no idea, :D Look under his IMDB profile

  • His name is Blake Ritson and he has recently played Mr. Elton in a new adaptation of Emma.

  • his name is blake ritson... played in dead man running and emma

  • Aww... I think Billie Piper is really beautiful! Besides, Fanny was supposed to be kind of plain.

  • It drives me crazy how much her teeth stick out.... I much prefer 1999 version.

  • She's not so pretty, but she's different. That makes her attractive.

  • @EleganceInClosure WHOS NOT PRETTY??

  • @EleganceInClosure I think she's gorgeous.

  • I am sorry but her mouth is HUGE!!! I can't get over that along with her brown eyebrows.

  • @yousocrazy8 lmfao me either!!

  • I have come to realize that no man is more handsome or more good-looking than a man in love.

  • @ScarletPirate1 AMEN!! :)

  • Henry Crawford only likes Fanny because for once he had to work to get a woman's attention. Also, she is different from all the other proper and civil women he has met.

  • @760mademe, this is the one thing I don't like about this version. In the book, Henry is drawn to Fanny because she's the first civil, meek, and calm woman he'd every met, that coupled with her lack of interest in finding a husband. But in this version, he seems drawn to her for her carefree, wild side. Fanny... carefree and giggly? Ugh.

  • OMG! If mr. crawford told me that, i would swoon :)

    unless tom said it first. omg hes amazing!

  • Aww, Troilus and Cressida. I saw that play at the Globe :)

  • In the 1999 version he was in love with her. In this one it is more as he is smitten because she made him smile and laugh at her care of the world like in the scene playing with the child he saw how free she was and i think he liked her spirt and her sweetness. And that is what i think that was he never really got that feeling from anyone else before.

  • I think Fanny's hair is symbolic. To show she is more of an outsider to the family. She came from a poor place and her rich relatives took her in and her hair probably symbolizes how she is regarded.

  • I agree it is a symbol a symbol of how free and open minded she is. It shows her free spirt.

  • I feel sorry for anyone that commits to a player. Sure, they also may fall in love. But what quality of love? Watching players toss in to settle with one, trying to be faithful to one can sometimes be painful. If people think they may live one way for half their lives and then remain fit to be constant to one, they are generally deluded.

  • i should add, though Fanny's hair are not appropriate , but Billie plays very well. And definitely this films is much closer to the book!! For example this moment when Mr. Crowford reads the book.

  • the reasons fanny hair is like that is because she is the poor relation that is why it is shaggy looking. besides the olde rversion is better the portsmouth scene is in that and also deals with slavery just like the book

  • "are we not made for each other?"

    isn't that exactly what he said to maria? he's just running a script.

  • I think Mr. Crawford did love Fanny, but ultimately he loved himself more.

  • I could of kicked Edmund tbh during this movie ;l it proper annoyed me aswell as Miss Crawford.

  • I got the feeling Henry only liked Fanny because she didn't give him the time of day and no woman has done that to him. He only wants what he can't have or he likes the chase and he doesn't really love Fanny.

  • Yes, that's exactly it. Henry Crawford was enraptured by the novelty of having to actually work to get a woman's attention like he had to with Fanny. He wasn't really in love with her. He's a creep through and through. Anyway, I'm really liking this version of the movie so far, and I think Billie Piper is doing a decent job.

  • no! edmund is so much better, nd its not enough to be loved :P she should also love him!

  • yeah i now edmund is better but when Mr. Crawford proposed Edmund was in love with Miss. Crawford &Fanny knew that so if i were in her shoes i would've just gave up on edmund not knowing that he would later love me ...get it ??

  • no, he is as we would call it, a player.. I dont think he really loves her and she knows it too. so she has no reason to accept him really.

  • ummm What??
