Emma (1996) Part 8/8

[@belaiza]

Even if most people criticise Gwyneth Paltrow, for me she is perfect as Emma! Her looks and acting very much match Emma from the book for me. And Jeremy Northam is the best actor for the role of Mr. Knightley. He is masculine, handsome and played a true gentleman.He is brilliant !

[@danawinsor1380]

I couldn't agree more. Gwyneth Paltrow was perfect as Emma, and the rest of the cast were equally good, surely a "dream cast." Plus, all of the other aspects: costumes, settings, music, etc., were all one could ever want.

[@madamec.j7363]

Romola Garai is a better Emma

[@belaiza]

​@@madamec.j7363 Anyone who loves "Emma" won't argue which is better. Gwyneth Paltrow, Romola Garai, Kate Beckinsale, Anya Taylor-Joy ... each one of them is a wonderful Emma in her own way. I like them a lot, all of them 💖😉

[@Min61449]

I love this version of Emma. I like Paltrow in this and our Toni Colette was wonderful. Jeremy Northam is my favourite Mr.Knightly. Beautifully made, gorgeous soundtrack. It must have been interesting for Sophie Thompson and Phyllis Law playing mother and daughter ( Miss Bates and her mother )since they are such in real life!…and of course the other talented daughter the brilliant Emma Thompson. Emma Thompson was in a movie with mother too in Much Ado About Nothing. I do like the latest version of Emma with Anya Taylor Joy. A very talented cast as they are all really playing and singing themselves. The music at the end credits was composed by the actor who played Mr. Kightly in this version.

[@blumenthol]

Always thought Harriet's character goes deeper than was developed in this. I was in Winchester, England and accidently stumbled into Jane Austin's grave at the cathedral - years before I ever knew how much her unrequited love stories would entertain me. Simple plots done very well. Like all things great in life -

[@louiseyvette2261]

When he said: "Marry me?" I just thought how sweet how there was none of that dramatic kneeling silliness.

I've watched this version with my sis years ago...we loved it, and realize we have same taste. And since that, i always recommend her another good movie. It nice to have someone to talk to about somethin u like.

[@oliviacasino8888]

A shocking lack of satin, indeed! Ha! For all the criticisms from viewers of Miss Paltrow, this is one of my personal favorites. And ever so often on a rainy afternoon when time slows down and the sofa beckons, I watch this version and know all’s well that ends well.

I thought that the film with Anya Taylor Joy, Johnny Flynn, Miranda Hart, Josh O'Connor and Bill Nighy was charmingly, sweet and funny.

[@philippatran2745]

I have enjoyed this adaptation so far but why change the dialogue in this scene? "Marry me?" I can't imagine any heroes in Jane Austen books would make a proposal like that. "Tell me then have I no chance of ever succeeding ? (...) My dearest Emma, for the dearest you will always be, whatever the event of this hour's conversation, my dearest, most beloved Emma, tell me at once. Say No if it is to be said (...) I cannot make speeches, Emma. If I loved you less I might be able to talk about it more"

[@thegnome73]

The last, at least, is a direct quote from the book: "I cannot make speeches, Emma...If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am. You hear nothing but truth from me. I have blamed you, and lectured you, and you have borne it as no other woman in England would have borne it.”

[@marquisdehoto1638]

Well they also never kissed as far as I remember 😅

[@lizardas]

It's a movie. There will always be cinematic variations from the books they're based on. They are adaptations, after all, not just readings of the book. There are even variations in book form of Pride and Prejudice, some with elements from Emma.

[@Book_Dragon2562]

I have such mixed feelings about this because in one hand, I love the speech in the book and I would have loved to hear Jeremy give it. It still breaks my heart a little I didn’t get that. And yet...I am almost equally in love with the speech he gave here. Yes, it’s a little modernized but it’s beautiful in its own way. I appreciated the 2020 delivery of the speech up until the nosebleed/comedy approach.

[@docbailey3265]

I just re-read that chapter. It was too wonderfully subtle to be translated directly into a movie. And Mr Woodhouse only warmed up to the idea of his daughter’s marriage when somebody tried to steal his turkeys.

I can't decide between Jeremy Northam and Jonny Lee Miller. I like both of them. I did prefer Romola Garai's performance to Gwyneth Paltrow's, however.

[@samanthab1923]

Always liked him in all his historical roles.

[@raindrops21_9]

I think Toni Collete gives an Oscar winning performance...in comparison to the ghastly turn given by the actress who plays Harriet in the most recent film adaptation. Harriet appears as a gauche and dimwitted clod in the latest offering and as a result the audience is left bewildered as to why Emma would ever befriend her.

[@sharonriley4137]

This version is my personal favorite - although Paltrow is not a fave, she is really very good in this an Northam is THE best knightley by far ! Juliet Stevenson steals the show as Mrs. Elton and all the cast are perfect. It's also got the most Austen dialogue of any others.

[@anitaaristodemou8770]

[@lizardas]

@@lepolhart3242 No, of course not. An actor can't act chemistry. Chemistry is attraction. They can act their part, but if they don't feel attracted by the other actor, the chemistry isn't there. It's an element of magic in a movie.

I do hope it receives some Golden Globes or Academy attention.

[@Book_Dragon2562]

I respect your opinion, but I can’t say I agree. There were aspects of the latest adaptation I appreciated. But I wouldn’t call it the best overall.

[@mikaylaswansong2204]

I haven’t seen the most recent, I think I’m too attached to this version to give it a fair shot, but I have to say just looking at the cast, Johnny Flynn looks too young to be Mr. Knightley. Like I said though, I’m pretty biased. I love Jeremy Northam in this and An Ideal Husband.

[@bobmcgahey1280]

[@jacquelinewinter7312]

oh yes, those that DID manage to find a nice husband were indeed cherished- and they also had to live up to all sorts of expectations; others were forced into prostitution from poverty; farm wives worked day and night and looked it pretty soon; no woman could legally manage her own money; in England, men could file for divorce, but not women- the list goes on and there is absolutely no reason to glorify life for women in those times. Austen wrote fairy tales even by the standards of her own day, which is why she was so successful. I myself love her stuff and keep rereading, BTW .

There are 2 versions from the same year. There's Gwyneth Paltrow (Miramax version), the other has Kate Beckinsale (ITV version) as Emma. The latter (ITV version) is the most closest to the novel, in my opinion, and much better. I read the book a week ago (it took me 5 days, even though I had the 14-hour audiobook to help me get through it). I haven't yet seen the 2009 miniseries yet. I've already seen the 2020 version. It's the second place in my list of best to worst adaptations, with the Miramax version in last place. Of course, the Miramax version of Mr. Knightley (Jeremy Northam) is higher on my list of best to worst Mr. Knightleys. But Gwyneth's Emma is last place, for best to worst Emmas. Beckinsale is first place.
