The BEST Austen Adaptation.

[@blumelodiez]

A comedy adaptation of an Austen novel is arguably the only valid way to adapt Austen. Its like Austen's writing style come to life visually

[@rama2.0.1]

Yess! I think that’s why I’m so attached to it (+ the aesthetics ofc)

[@zinlazace]

My algorith knows me so well, of course i'll watch a 30+ minute video about a topic i already agree with!

[@ojaymami]

Ah shit i guess it's time to rewatch Emma again

[@raraavis7782]

Indeed 😅

[@SadGirlHours_]

I also love that Emma’s hairstyles get less elaborate as the movie goes on, representing Emma’s growth past vanity and self-centeredness

[@rama2.0.1]

I never noted that it’s so clever! It’s very similar to what they did to Daenerys in GOT as well (but other way around and for other reasons too lmaoo)

[@victorialopez8459]

THIS MOVIE IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED AND IVE ALWAYS FELT THAT IT SHOULD HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF HYPE AS THE PRIDE AND PREJUDICE MOVIE WITH KIERA KNIGHTLY

[@rama2.0.1]

I 100% agree! I absolutely adore it. It is witty, gorgeous and super fun. I do think it would’ve done a lot better if it wasn’t for the pandemic😔

Something I looove about this specific adaptation is how they portray Emma so clearly as a big fish in a small pond. Like you can see she has a good heart and CAN be super affectionate, considerate, and thoughtful to the people in her life, it's just she has such a high opinion of herself and is rarely ever put in check by anyone around her besides Mr. Knightley. I loved the way Anya acted out all her subtler moments -- it's not just that she dislikes Jane Fairfax, she dislikes Jane Fairfax BECAUSE Jane worked hard for accomplishments Emma never had the self-discipline to perfect herself (that hilarious piano scene), and she doesn't know what to do when she experiences feelings of inferiority or self-consciousness. I loved her instant moment of realization and regret when she insults Miss Bates, and the facial journey she goes on afterwards feeling awful, desperately trying to maintain composure in front of the group, trying and failing to convince herself it wasn't even that bad, and then totally falling apart when Knightley yells at her.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO FUCKING MUCH. its absolutely gorgeous with stunning set and costume design!! the characters and their dynamics are wonderfuly done!!!

[@MaryamElbatoulAbdAlaziz]

This is one of the most comprehensive and thoughtful video essays I've seen in a while. I love this film so much and I appreciate how you analysed it and read through its many layers. Keep up the good work!

[@rama2.0.1]

You're so sweet thank you so much🫶

[@lstradinger]

My comfort movie. I can watch it over and over and discover a new pleasure to my eyes❤

[@caromalf]

Pride and prejudice 2005 movie made me obsessed with the book. The last 8-10 years i've read it once every summer. However I never really found an interest in any of the other Austen books. But then this movie came and blew my knickers off!! The colours, set design and most of all, the subtle, effortless comedy are so good. I really don't agree with most of the criticism of this movie and I would love to see the same team do more Austen adaptations 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@rama2.0.1]

Yes it would be amazing to see De Wilde working on another Austen adaptation bc this one was genuinely so so refreshing imo! It got me back into the classics for sure!!

[@blueberryomelette]

Yesss!! Literally rewatch this at least twice a year it's such a masterpiece but never even picked up on some of the hidden themes in here, so clever!

[@rama2.0.1]

Yes I love this adaptation so so much and it's really unfortunate that Covid slowed its 'hype'

[@faithmo5347]

the sound track of this movie is so beautiful I listen to it whenever I'm reading classics or historical fiction

[@naomiwind2791]

Miss Bates gate!!! 14:01 😂😂😂 (I loved this discussion SO much!! It came at the right time-I just watched Emma. last night! Thank you!) 💜

[@rama2.0.1]

I was indeed proud of the miss Bates Gate line lmaoo🫣 thank you so much for your support❤️❤️

[@connection7165]

I love Emma so much, it's my favorite book by Jane Austen and the movie is among my favorite films of all time. Her character feels so real and it made me feel seen when I first read it. I interpreted the scene with Mr Woodhouse the same way! Though it took me a couple of watches. About Elton's final speech, if I'm not mistaken in the Spanish dub he still mispronounces innocence, which is such a shame considering its symbolism, but I could be wrong about it. Thank you so much for this video, it was lovely.

[@rama2.0.1]

Yes it’s also one of my favourites from Austen and this adaptation is genuinely amazing imo! Emma is a very interesting (while arguably sometimes flawed) character and I just loved ATJ’s acting in this. I thought I might’ve been digging too deep with the Mr Woodhouse scene so I’m glad to see someone agrees hahaha😭 as for Elton’s speech I wonder why they didn’t follow the original English version it’s unfortunate as you said.. thank you so much for watching! I’m super glad you enjoyed it🫶

[@bluequeen8022]

I don't know if most people know this but Emma and Mr. Knightly are technically related. They are in laws, his brother is the husband of her sister.

[@rama2.0.1]

So it's like a Regency era Game of Thrones??😭

[@bluequeen8022]

@rama2.0.1 no 😭😭😭 they ate not related by blood at all, he is like 12 years older than her tho

[@bittersweet304]

What an insightful video! Loved it very much.

[@rama2.0.1]

Thank you so much I really appreciate it❤️❤️

[@Bloomingsnowyflower0101]

Oooh! A Jane Austen video! Love it 😅❤

[@leahiddlebarnes]

Wish the persuasion the netflix version followed the same aesthetic like this instead of that monstrosity 😢😂

[@rama2.0.1]

Yeah that movie was certainly something…😭😭

[@bluequeen8022]

I adore this movie

[@rama2.0.1]

You and me both istg😭

[@blissstorychannel]

Absolutely ADORE this movie and don't understand why it gets so much hate online! It's beautiful, hilarious, the costuming is flawless and the set design/cinematography is the best of any Austen adaptation IMO. Also, this version of Mr. Knightley is probably my favorite Austen MMC moment EVER, the look of longing in that man's eyes right after Emma kisses him is just *swoon* I think about it at least once a week, right up there with the 2005 P&P Hand Flex Scene. It's such a short moment that is played so big and just UGH!!!! I love love love it!!! 21:10 I also interpreted the scene when Mr. Woodhouse is asking Mr. Knightly about a "chill draft about the knees" as him trying to give them some privacy. Mostly cause he goes "pity" and then gives MAJOR side eye.

I love this movie so much

[@lilitlaas3559]

How lovely! Wonderful to see a new video from you 😊 Your voice really works marvellously with the scenery. Maybe a future in reading Austenian audiobooks? 😉

[@rama2.0.1]

I'm so happy you're back despite the long wait 😭 Thank you so much hahaha but I believe my bad pronunciation might stop me from that endeavour lmaoo
