EMMA | On-set Interview with the Cast & Filmmakers

[@charmiencarrier1638]

Loved this film! Best version ever. Autumn DeWilde is a terrific director, and it was beautifully shot. I now have a crush on Johnny Flynn...

[@cherylrobinson3256]

I totally agree with you, including the crush part on Johnny!

[@ElleMotorbreath]

Same!! HUGE crush on him! ❤️

[@dtun0031]

Johnny Flynn is by far the best Mr.knightley casted. His voice is very pleasant. Anya Taylor has portrayed Emma very well. I so love this adaptation.

[@brunecastillon6576]

this movie is so underrated it makes me mad

[@brunecastillon6576]

@Zsuzsanna Varga I disagree I thought they did it quite well... but I guess its different for some people

[@NiVi192]

Ok calm down! Everyone I know (whose cinematic opinion I care about 😄) has saluted numerous aspects of this film, everyone from English literature students to experienced cineastes to "normal" viewers. We all thought the cast, script, cinematography costumes and music (etc.) were so on point that they make this nostalgic parody the best Emma film so far and also the smartest modern screen adaptations of classic British literature since Pride and Prejudice in 2005 (and maybe Jane Eyre, 2011). Besides, I think it's a bit early to speak of 'under' - or 'overrated' anyway, as the film has only been out for a relatively short time and not nearly been seen by the many fans and critics who'd normally have reviewed it over the past weeks. In Germany, where I live, the movie was supposed to premiere in February and had been heavily promoted by the big cinema franchises. Well, due to the lockdown, my friends and I didn't get to see it until two weeks ago... in a cute little theater around the blog showing it that one night only. You probably can't really talk about an average international opinion until the beginning of 2021 - when Emma will play a certain role during the awards season, believe me!

[@marvel096]

ikr?? i think it was bc quarantine and such, it never arrived to my country and i really wanted to see it on theathers :(

[@wistfulvictoria]

@Zsuzsanna Varga also they forgot about all of the Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill thing... in the book it is kind of a plot twist for Emma to realize how mean she had been.

[@janejane6754]

@Zsuzsanna Varga I thought they did it really well. This is my favourite adaptation now.

[@mapa6772]

When I first saw this movie it took me aback. I have watched it multiple times since and it never gets old. In fact, it is my favorite Austen rendition of all time. There is something new to discover every time I see it and the actors seem to be growing more attractive with each viewing. The aesthetics and the colors are phenomenal, the shots are beautiful, the music PERFECT, the acting fantastic, the comic aspect wonderful. This is a real masterpiece!

[@psalmseasytoplayandsingfor3637]

This film has a great soundtrack, costume, filming and makes Emma go from really snotty to very humbled--I really liked it!!

[@preggioperson]

Mrs Elton really never got enough praise. Mrs Elton was outstanding.

[@gkseeton]

This movie captures the spirit of the book best of any of them. New versions are usually no improvement but this one is the exception. Mia Goth played Harriet brilliantly.

[@widantiverena8011]

20:50 Johnny Flynn shyly defining Donwell Abbey as "the biggest pile of bricks" is the most Mr. Knightley thing ever

[@obsessivefangirl5055]

I swear🤣🤣🤣

[@katherinev8860]

If this film doesn't get an Oscar nomination, and if Anya Taylor Joy doesn't get nominated for best actress, IMMA THROW HANDS

[@SharonBoone829]

I’m thankful that I am privileged to have seen Emma2020 because I thought my emotions were dead but they’re very much alive. Oscar nominations for all involved. FYI I’m 76 and learned to follow your heart. My favorite scene is Emma and Mr. Knightley dance and she realizes her love for him and he for her!

[@chalaedit]

Yeah and this films need at least a nomination for costumes

[@hildamoonshine3878]

It’s the day of the Oscars now and I’m really hoping Emma wins in Costume and Hair/Makeup!

[@hildamoonshine3878]

Ikr 😩

[@Seattlepsych1]

I had so wanted to see this film in the theater, but I thoroughly enjoyed it on the small screen. The acting of this ensemble of actors was so good, the costumes and cinematography fantastic. I don’t usually rewatch movies, but like Little Women, I finished it and immediately watched it again. I hope it gets some Oscar attention.

[@gladdyjoh_]

I did watch emma and little women again and again. It is truly my favourite genre of films

[@bee_440]

This cast was so good, love how long they get to speak

[@brandonday2494]

It's nice to hear Josh O'Connor speak so articulately on the film. Helps wash the creepiness out of my image of him.

[@jonal7695]

the people really express their feelings of their characters

[@porkscratchings5428]

I really enjoyed this film, saw it on the big screen when it first came out, love it. Can still find it funny even though seen it a good few times now. Really fantastic movie and the costumes and photography is just awesome!

[@AngelaBonanza]

This was such a great series of interviews!! Emma was the last movie I saw before lockdown and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I want very familiar with the story (besides Clueless lol) so it was a delightful way to discover the story in period. The visuals were so gorgeous as well as the performances!! Also Mia Goth is so endearing in her interview, she seems a bit nervous but clearly cares a lot about this film

[@susannabonke8552]

Mr. Elton with all his silly attitudes is so funny.

[@preggioperson]

Firle Place is worth visiting. The grounds are outstanding. The staff are only too willing to explain the history of the building.

[@ptzeynep7450]

Where is Jane fairfax. I really wanted to see her in this interview. She as an actress was such a beauty!

[@brandonday2494]

She's also a fine musician in real life. Amber Anderson.

[@ptzeynep7450]

Brandon Day I know. I already made some inquiries about her after I had watched movie😄

[@tomiekawakami3506]

she's the perfect jane fairfax❤️

[@aaliyah_cm]

Oh wow Mia is so adorable

[@Wilsonthernsby]

mia goth is exactly like her character in the film haha

[@kanacucumber]

Im surprised she hasnt been in other period dramas

[@kawstar78]

Such a brilliant film

[@monokkeros2378]

Anya was living the life and she KNOWS it

[@kristinadelpesche6112]

They did sooo well wish this was more popular

[@maguiidalena]

Johnny Flynn está escrito por una mujer, no puede ser este chico es perfecto

[@laarnidee1082]

I love this film

[@alessabarreto9435]

only I think Johnny is a little shy ?

[@cherylrobinson3256]

Johnny always seems shy in his interviews, but his acting in the movie is sensational. I watched what he does to create Mr. Knightly, a dear sweet sensitive human being.

[@maguiidalena]

20:15 starts Johnny Flynn

[@Bananabear20]

Who is here for him?

[@preggioperson]

One complaint…it could have been longer.

[@CJ-83]

Best best adaptation and 2nd is the mini series one

[@obsessivefangirl5055]

I love the mini series with Romoal Garai

[@Lucia-uk4jq]

Genius

[@matthewevans1119]

Why are there so many ads on this...

[@charlenerafferty3534]

Anya Taylor Joy did emma justice cause she meanest emma which its her growth at the end worth while also anya autumn and Eleanor said emma not tamed at the end this isnt the taming of the shrew

[@barbarasinnone6811]

What is the name of Mr Knightley ? Why his name is not ever mentioned ?

[@Jessica-fu6mf]

barbara sinnone its George, at least in the Book it is :)

[@bored1840]

In the book it‘s just said that everybody calls him mr knightley and emma even says that she could never call him anything else, even after they get married

[@chaotcmind]

@@bored1840 she does say at the end that she once called him 'George' and that she will only call him George once again on their wedding day only

[@emmaevelynchiu]

I'm kinda confused by anya's accent xD great movie btw

[@louismom7882]

she was born in US, then move to Argentina, and then moved again to UK. And she said that her 1st language is Spanish

[@seraphik]

@@louismom7882 i feel like you can hear all three accents slip in and out. i mean mostly the US and British, but something about the huskiness in her natural voice seems hella latin to me

[@bengi3682]

Give them their nominations cowards @theacademy

[@goop3213]

Is it possible that Mia is more adorable than Anya...

[@thedo6338]

Those collars looks uncomfortable

[@newscomics4624]

[@iSharShar]

This video has way too many fucking ads.

[@MarloweDash]

The editing of these interviews is unnecessarily complicated. And confusing. You have to guess at times who/what they are talking about. UGH

[@constantly_nerfed]

Anna Taylor Joy’s accent going back and forth between American and English is really throwing me off

[@milcaful]

She is from Argentina, so Spanish is her mother tongue. She moved to England when she was 8 and learn how to speak english there. So when she is in a more relaxed enviroment like this you can hear that 'openess' that spanish people have while speaking english. I think in the movie her english accent is quite convincing

[@taylort5672]

@@milcaful Probably convincing because she lived in England longer than she did in Argentina, starred in many English shows, and has an English mother and Scottish father. I hear no trace of a Spanish accent, just occasionally drops into American, Not sure at all what you mean by openess.

[@milcaful]

​@@taylort5672 First of all, her father is from Argentina. He has scottish roots like most of the argentinians have some kind of european roots. Her paternal family lives in Argentina and even she has 2 brothers living in the country. Her mother tongue is spanish, she has said it a million times, and she only learned english at 8 years old. SHE HAS SAID that she does not have just an english accent, it depends who she is talking to, she mimics that accent. I believe she has a perfect english accent but she claims she has a chameleon accent. And that's why like you said she ocassionally drops into american. Stop trying to erase part of her history like dude. And one of the main differences from american and english accents is the way the person opens the mouth to speak, the more open more american you sound in some particular sounds

[@_danisson]

@@milcaful Agree. Obviosly you cant hear no trace of an spanish accent because she learn english at age 8 with her mother and other family (english native speakers ) in England. Besides she is an actress ( a good one ) , you cant expect she talk like sofia vergara or salma hayek ( strong latino accent ). But his mother tonge is spanish ( Argentina ) and speaked like his fathers and brothers talk, with an argentinian accent.

[@seraphik]

@@_danisson something about the cadence and huskiness of her voice though. it's not nearly as clipped as British English or as quick and full of questions? like your average American voice? you know what i mean? 😆 ngl i love the way she talks lol

[@lethokuhlemsimang2208]

this film retired me completely from these period pieces.

[@guled669]

While I like the Victorian Era I feel like people who dressed like this was aristocrat, people who would in modern day attained to like Oscars & Bafta or something. That far from the normal working class people, this is not someone spending 1-minute putting a shirt on, more like 2-hours in the dressing room.

[@testosteronic]

It's set during the Regency not the Victorian era. Yes Emma and most of the characters in the film are very privileged and not working class, but no one is pretending otherwise. None of your points make sense in relation to this film.

[@stellamc3803]

Well that’s the whole point

[@aNNa-qh6ho]

Think you need to read Jane Austen, and not just watch the film.

[@chaotcmind]

The book is set in the Regency era and all the characters are rich, besides the Bates

[@tymanung6382]

That eras workers clothes required more time than todays 1 minute, but shorter than that eras gentry, or also capitalists. Several youtube dressmakers/seamstresses/costumers show English Regencys, etc. eras working women s clothes, including in some cases, using pins..

[@milkmysiNZ]

I can't get over how cheap the fabric of the clothing look

[@AW-uv3cb]

What are you talking about? It looks like what it's supposed to be, ie. muslin and cotton when it's supposed to be muslin and cotton (one of the most popular fabrics in the Regency era), and velvet and silk and gauze and wool when it's supposed to be velvet and silk and gauze and wool. This movie is famous as one of the most (if not THE most accurate) representations of Regency fashions out there, with some of the looks lifted directly from period portraits and preserved pieces of clothing. Just because it's not shiny, doesn't mean it's cheap - quite the opposite. [EDIT] If you mean Anya Taylor-Joy's dress here in the interview, it's a silk petticoat that goes under the actual sheer dress, that's why it looks so simple.

[@darashy3226]

Ahh it so funny
